Lex was fantastic. He photographed my engagement, and the photos turned out better than we could have hoped. He also had great ideas for locations for the proposal when I was struggling to find good options. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Hiring Lex Photo for our wedding day was the best decision I made for the best day of my life! And that's saying a lot because we had such a great wedding day in so many different respects, but working with Lex Photo definitely stood out as a highlight. I only got in touch with Alex a DAY before our wedding was scheduled, and I was very pleasantly surprised when he not only got back to me letting me know he was available, but also was willing to work within our small budget. The prices of most wedding photographers had made me almost give up the hope of having professional photos and a video of our small elopement ceremony, but Alex made it possible for us and I'm so grateful for that! Even though photography is his main service, he went above and beyond by offering to take a video of the whole ceremony too when I asked, and I'm so grateful for that because I will always cherish having those very special 15 minutes on film so we can relive them any time we like. Alex showed up quite early to our Central Park meeting place so we had plenty of time to do a full photoshoot with just me and my fiancé and still have time before our guests and officiant showed up. Plus he even brought a second photographer to help with taking photos and the video of the ceremony. The photoshoot itself was a highlight of our day, very romantic and fun with plenty of guidance on posing from Alex. He was flexible when we had to relocate to another location in Central Park last-minute for the ceremony, and took a beautiful video of the whole ceremony as well as beautiful photos throughout the ceremony. Alex got back to us with all 129 photos (with no limits on how many we could download) later that night, with the video just taking a few days longer to edit. When I requested some edits to the video, Alex made those edits and got back to me with the new versions of the video in just a few days. All in all, I'm so happy with how the photographs and video turned out and I couldn't stop looking at the photos and rewatching the video after I received them because it was so nice to have this record of our wedding day. Best $200 I ever spent in my life! If you're looking for a photographer for couples photography in the NYC area, I can't recommend Alex enough.

We had a wonderful experience with Lex taking our wedding photos at city hall. He was very responsive to our initial messages. He showed up on time. He had a clear vision with photos to take and had examples of the poses and vision he wanted. Would definitely recommend and work with him again!

Absolutely recommend working with him! He was fantastic! Incredibly nice guy, was easy to schedule and coordinate with. He was there early, all set up and ready to go when we arrived for our proposal. It was all seamless and easy and perfect. He took wonderful photos, really captured all the moments of the proposal. The rates were also very reasonable for how great he is. Absolutely recommend working with him. He's awesome!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees — you'll know the full cost before we begin. Sessions start at $350. I offer discounts for repeat clients and referrals.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to keep things simple and stress-free! First, we’ll chat a bit so I can understand exactly what you need and answer any questions you might have. Then, we’ll schedule a time that works best for you. I always show up 15-25 minutes before so we can chat about the photoshoot in case you have any questions; this time is not charged. Ready to get to work and make sure you’re 100% happy with the results. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way!
