An Exceptional Talent

Lexi Mackensie of Vivi Photography exceeded our highest hopes as an artist and a wedding photographer. The profession of Wedding Photographer is an exceedingly difficult one, wedding photographs are the only lasting tangible element of the day. The married couple will turn to their photos again and again, marvel at this time in their lives, this celebration, and reflect on their loved ones presence.

Lexi’s warmth flowed through our day from start to finish without intrusion. It was only when we poured over her gorgeous photographs did we realize she was literally everywhere!

Even more importantly Lexi’s photos were the manifestation of how we all felt that day. We were transported to that joyous evening. weddings are over in a flash, memories blur, and time marches on, and so a superb and sensitive representation is a priceless gift. Thank you Lexi, what you do is so elegant and immeasurably important. We are overwhelmingly happy!!

The BEST photographer! Unbelievable talented!

We hired Viva Photography off "The Knot" and were so very happy with Lexi from the beginning! Complete professionalism! The day of our wedding we had the pleasure of meeting her and the first thing I felt was how she was very experienced. Lexi brings an aura of peace with her, which helped this frantic bride, we were all running one hour behind. She took control of how she wanted us positioned in the pics and had already chosen the most romantic place at our venue to take the photos. She did not skip a beat on consistently taking the photos I had discussed with her that I wanted, and she used her years of experience to maximize all the special moments. We received our link to our pictures on her website and were stunned at how beautiful and memorable they all are! If you want the best photographer and videographer for your wedding, Viva photography should be a clear choice.

Wonderful photographer

Lexi did AMAZING! We couldn’t have picked a better photographer. She’s so easy to work with, super sweet, and really captured the magic of our wedding! We loved the pictures so much and appreciated how she got great candid pictures but was also so good about posing us too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

More than perfect!

We were looking for our photographer for a long time, I talked to many other people and just by looking at Vivi's website and the way she communicated with me I knew she was the one. We were on a tight budget so she was willing to work with us making little adjusments to provide us with the services we needed, nothing more, nothing less.

When the big day arrived, she was so kind and warm all the time, she guided us to take the best of us in each picture. We were just happy to have chosen her.

Now, after receiving the pictures and the flash drive, we could not be happier with the results and we will cherish and appreciate our wedding photos forever!

Corporate Retreat Photography

I have worked with Lexi on two corporate retreats - one at the Four Seasons and one at Bishops Lodge in Santa Fe. She was flexible, professional, communicated well, and took beautiful photos, including traditional event coverage and also headshots for our executives. She is lovely to work with and I highly recommend her for this type of work!

Fantastic wedding photographs!

Lexi did a wonderful job photographing our beautiful wedding at the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens. She caught so many wonderful photographs of not only the natural beauty of the gardens, but of all the people in our wedding. I strongly recommend Lexi as a Wedding Photographer.

Engagement Surprise of a Lifetime!

Lexi is amazing in every way!! Her pictures are absolutely gorgeous and she was so much fun to work with! She has an amazing eye for poses, backgrounds, and lighting, both candid and set.

Here’s the surprise story: My now fiancée wanted to arrange for a surprise proposal at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The director of the Chapel highly recommended Lexi, and she did not disappoint! She was so flexible and arranged her schedule to make the once in a lifetime proposal happen! She went along with the guise of being just a publicity photographer for the Chapel, being so discreet that I had no idea the proposal was coming. She absolutely knew the right angle, lighting, and timing to capture the magic moment perfectly! She was so enthusiastic and joyful to work with. While we were still on cloud nine after the big “Yes!” she kept the energy going by suggesting beautiful poses and places for photos both inside and outside the chapel to our heart’s content. We didn’t want the moment to end and Lexi made sure to capture every smile, fond look, and embrace.

Her gorgeous color and greyscale photos speak for themselves; we can still feel the love and surprise of the proposal every time we look at them. She took the perfect shot to put onto canvas, and helped us order as well, keeping up the professionalism and enthusiasm even after the fact. Lexi and her work is worth every penny! She will not disappoint!
