My wife and I hired Lexi for our wedding in September of this year and our experience was unforgettable. Seriously, unforgettable.
First and foremost, I have to say that she and her assistant (husband Ivan)—aka “The Dream Team”—were the kind...est, easiest and most professional vendors we worked with throughout our entire wedding process. It was refreshing, to say the least.
My wife and I are both somewhat introverts when it comes to being in front of a camera, but Lexi was incredible at keeping us calm, cool and directed from start to finish—even while we were running around dealing with the chaos of our other vendors, family and guests. She just kept rolling with the punches and helped us push through, which we needed badly during a few key parts of the day. Her ability to adapt to the various photo locations we picked out, combined with quick, on-the-spot ideas of her own, was nothing short of impressive. She kept everything moving without being demanding or abrupt.
And talk about cordial! She and Ivan were both friendly and easy to talk to—very down to earth with great personalities and sense of humor. Which I have to point out in this review because both my wife and I agreed that there was no awkwardness or hesitation between us. AT ALL. Everything just flowed! We never felt bored or “over it” at any one point—and there were even several times when my wife and I were just in the moment having fun and didn’t know that she was taking pictures, which is saying something considering my wife and I are both overly observant, controlling, and extremely camera shy. We were able to just be ourselves. It was a pretty cool feeling I must say. And I know for a fact that we couldn’t have achieved that level of comfort and connection with just anyone….
It was Lexi (and Ivan) that turned the biggest dread of our wedding day into the most gratifying and memorable experience of the event as a whole. We cannot thank them enough.
And the pictures themselves were STUNNING!
Lexi has an amazing knack for creating shots that evoke warmth and passion. I believe that she truly captured the essence of my wife and I’s character—both as individuals and our connection to each other. Not to mention her attention to detail! I was blown away by some of the subtleties within the photos themselves that I hadn’t noticed in our surroundings while we were being photographed. Really takes the photos to that next level of special that’s hard to describe. Magical is more of the word I’m looking for. And that’s how it felt most of the time she was shooting. Magical.
Lexi is a very talented individual. Both through and beyond the lens. If we ever need a photographer for ANYTHING in the future, she will be the first number I call. We are forever grateful for being introduced to Lexi (and Ivan) and nothing but appreciative for the whole experience.
Thank you Lexi for being our savior on such a crazy yet significant day in our lives. We will never forget it.
