About this vendor
I’m Lex, the lead photographer of Lex Nelson Photography. I serve couples all over New England -from Bar Harbor to Boston and everywhere in between. Being out on the ocean is my happy place and I believe sunshine is good for the soul. I love pastel colors and pure joy in my work. There is nothing I enjoy more than exploring the rocky coast of Maine with my couples and capturing this gorgeous place I call home.
I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a BFA in Digital Media. Since then, I’ve worked as a graphic designer, bridesmaid stylist, associate photographer, and finally, a full-time wedding photographer. Starting my own business was something I dreamed of doing and I’m so proud that I made it happen. My job as a photographer allows me to witness the sweetness of your unique relationship and be a part of one of the most special days of your life. I find joy in my work, light and love within my couples, and inspiration in the wildness of nature.
If you have questions, let’s talk!
xo, Lex

We have only amazing things to say about Lex and her photography!! Leading up to our wedding, Lex was so organized and got all of the information from us ahead of time so that ever...
ything on the day of the wedding would run incredibly smoothly. She was so calm and collected throughout the day and helped us make sure everyone was where they needed to be for photos. We aren't at all used to being photographed, but Lex made us feel so comfortable to the point that we were having so much fun taking photos.
Her turn-around-time was incredibly fast and the photos are stunning. There were so many details we had spent months planning that we didn't get to see on the day of the wedding because things were so busy, but Lex captured all of them! We're so thrilled to have these memories captured so beautifully and grateful to Lex for all of her hard work.

families and our wedding party! Her and her assistant made us feel so comfortable taking pictures which can sometimes feel very uncomfortable. On top of that, her pictures are absolutely STUNNING!

We plan to use her in the future for all of our significant events and would recommend her to anyone!

perfectly and the pictures I have seen so far are way beyond our expectations. She even went barefoot to crawl on seaweed covered rocks on the jagged coast of Maine to capture us at sunset. I highly recommend Lex, you will not be disappointed!

Lex did our engagement photos and they came out absolutely amazing! They are not cheesy or "posed," which is what I particularly wanted to avoid. But not only that, she really ma...
naged to capture the essence of "us" just looking natural together with the Chicago skyline perfectly placed in the background or waves from Oak Street beach crashing behind us. Lex met up with us for drinks beforehand to help us relax and get a feel for our personalities and what we were going for. She's clearly very passionate about her photography but she's also really down to earth and fun to work with. I keep getting so many compliments on how the pictures turned out! I can't recommend her highly enough!!
