Best photographer ever!!!!

We cannot thank Alexis enough for not only being the most amazing photographer for our special day, but for being such a great human! From our very first phone call, my husband and I felt confident in her, she was always so nice, very organized, she’s an excellent communicator, has great interpersonal skills, she’s super detail-oriented, professional and always went above and beyond to capture every special moment and made sure that my husband and I had thee best wedding experience possible and never ever made us feel like we were a burden to her. She worked extremely hard every moment leading up to our special day and it was definitely because of her that I did not turn into a Bridezilla! lol Our friends and family also noticed how passionate, detailed and dedicated she was about her job, more-so her passion, and our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. 😍 And a huge shout out to her special assistant Alex as they collaborated flawlessly, so Lexie and Alex, again, we thank you, thank you thank you! 🫶🏽 Continued Blessings in your calling. 🙏🏽

Amazing work and super talented!

Lexi was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. She really captured how colorful and bright the day was. I specified early on I don’t like super airbrushed or posed photos and she delivered on that request perfectly. She was also very quick to communicate back with any questions I had. The candid photos really captured how happy we both were on our wedding day. My now husband doesn’t like getting his photo taken, but ever since we received our wedding photos back he’s been looking at them everyday. Lexi really captured how beautiful I felt and the love that my husband and I have for each other. Lexi made us both super comfortable and confident while taking photos. I keep getting messages from my family members saying how nice Lexi was and how amazing the photos came out! If you’re getting married and you really want your love captured on camera, you have to go with Lexi. Do yourself a favor and book her!! You won’t regret it!!

Unbelievable results

Alexis is absolutely amazing! I am not photogenic, and never have been. I was extremely anxious about my wedding photos, and explained to Alexis that I do not know what to do or how to pose. She guided me through everything, and the results were amazing! Gorgeous pictures, natural and comfortable and yet still so, so beautiful! She absolutely killed it. She was incredibly flexible and open to what I wanted, and she knew exactly how to make it happen. She listened carefully and did not try to impose her own opinions or style over mine. She was incredible, I cannot recommend her strongly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
