Alexa did such an amazing job on our engagement photos!! My fiance and I had never done a photo shoot but she made us feel so comfortable and helped us be ourselves. She is genuine and fun which made it very easy to have a great time!
Alexa is creative and her photography style is so beautiful. As we were taking pictures, she showed them to us so that she can see what we liked and what we didn't and we were able to see how amazing the raw photos looked. Just hours after the session, she sent us some cute sneak peaks which made us extremely excited for the final photos. The photos turned out amazing and we definitely showed them off to everyone!
Our experience with Alexa was everything we had hoped for and more. We were very lucky to get to work with her and are definitely booking her for our wedding as well! Thank you so much Alexa!

We were so lucky to have been referred to her for our wedding! When we checked her website and IG photos we knew that her style were what we envisioned for our wedding. We initially met up with Alexa at a local Starbucks to get an idea of how she operates and to see what her wedding packages included. When we met with her though, we got so much more! We got a taste of her perky and fun-loving personality, we got tips on how to prepare ourself for wedding day, and we got advice on how to make sure we chose the right photographer for the wedding, whether it was her or not.

Alexa was such a blessing during the entire wedding! This was obviously our first time planning and executing a wedding so to have a professional there who knew what she was doing made things run so smoothly. Alexa was always 10 steps ahead of us. She positioned our hands on the cake cutting knife just the right way for an ideal photo. She anticipated the next event and moved my chair out of the way so I wouldn't get trampled. She confidently directed my guests to the appropriate spots for photos.

On top of that, I was so fortunate that Alexa had worked with my makeup artist and hair artist many times before so they seamlessly were able to capture prep photos.

I really don't have to brag too much about Alexa to my friend because they've all seen the photos and have raved about them. In fact, two of my friends have already booked her for their wedding! I am so excited that they'll be able to share the same great experiences as me!

Alexa is amazing! We found her photos on Pinterest and contacted her immediately after. We had always wanted to do a photo shoot in Joshua Tree. She recommended a beautiful location in the park to shoot our engagement photos and was really great in helping us along the way by suggesting things to bring, things to wear, colors etc... She was super helpful. We even brought our fur babies with us and they loved hanging out with Alexa. The photos came out stunning and we couldn't be happier. We had some great sunset images that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thanks Alexa for giving us something memorable to post on our walls. We can't wait for our wedding photos!

- LESLIE + JOHN

Alexa is simply amazing! She is very professional and super sweet. She made sure that we were comfy and natural as possible. I love her style in shooting, very vintage, natural and almost like film photography. My husband is really shy, but Alexa made sure that he felt comfortable and relaxed. We and all of our friends and family absolutely loved the wedding photos. Even by looking at it we get teary-eyed. She was very professional and she captured every moment like how i would have captured it. Thank you for everything and most of all for documenting our special day. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family! we can't wait for the album!

- MARIE + PAOLO

Having Alexa document our special day was one of the best (if not the BEST) decisions we made in the wedding planning process. As you can see, the proof is in the pictures. On your wedding day, there are so many wonderful emotions and vibes that occur through the whole day. Looking back at our photos, Alexa perfectly captured to energy and emotion at all of the different moments throughout the afternoon and evening. From the first look, to the sparkler send off, the energy captured is genuine and authentic. Not to mention shes humble, sweet, and very easy to get along with. After the wedding, we had lots of family pictures to take, and not everyone was where they needed to be. Alexa kept her cool, and made sure everything went well with coordinating and getting everyone there eventually. Also, she got the FULL wedding album to us a month after our wedding date. I have so many friends who have had to wait for months to get their full wedding album. If you're on the fence about booking Alexa, stop thinking about it, and book her!!! Thanks Alexa for helping Chris and I capture our perfectly special day!

Alexa is amazing! My husband and I are so glad we chose her to be our wedding photographer. From the first time we met over coffee, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding. Her professionalism and personality really stuck out to us, along with her talent behind the camera.

On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time and was on top of everything. She did a great job making sure we were on time to get to the venue for the first look, and worked well with the coordinator and videographers. When it was time for family photos, she was able to deal with my family with ease. When my grandparents wanted to start throwing distant family members into the shots, Alexa made sure to follow my shot list. Her down to earth personality helped us feel comfortable and relaxed on our big day. Oh....and she had a sneak peak of photos sent to us THAT SAME NIGHT!!

And...she loves dogs! The photos she took of our flower dogs are adorable and it made us so happy to see that she took pictures of our furbabies.

We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and we definitely made the right choice! WE LOVE HER!!!

- AUDREY + DAVID

What can I say...Alexa captured so many beautiful moments between my fiancé and I during our engagement shoot. She made us feel beyond comfortable with her bubbly personality and had such a go with the flow attitude that the engagement shoot went smoothly. I won't lie I'm very timid in front of the camera and was so nervous but she made it so easy! She had simple techniques and "games" that had us giggling and almost non stop laughing which created the best snaps.

I couldn't help but smile looking through all of the photos. Not only did she capture moments between my fiancé and I but between my little family. When we first met Alexa, we talked to her about our relationship and our little family. As we talked about our engagement shoot she asked if was wanted to bring Eli with us. We were so excited and said if we could we would love to! The next thing she said was "Of course! He is part of you two, your life" and what she said just stuck with me. I loved that she wanted to include Eli. It really meant a lot to me. I could never thank you enough.

I can't wait for our wedding day and to see what she captures! She honestly made me more excited for our special day!

Words cannot even begin to express how amazing Alexa is!

We booked her for our wedding back in October and she was so professional, creative, and efficient the entire planning process. From the first meeting she answered all of my millions of questions, kept me updated and stayed extremely organized. After that first meeting I knew she would be the perfect photographer for us! Even when we were all running late on the morning of the wedding, it didn't slow her down and we got all of the shots we wanted.

Not only did she have 20 photos ready for us within 48 hours of the big day, but I just received ALL of our photos in less than 2 months. All of the shots captured the laughter, love, and fun of our day and I couldn't be happier!

Book her, she is PHENOMENAL.

I was referred to Alexa by another vendor and I honestly feel like we hit the lottery. After spending hours searching for the perfect photographer, I can honestly say that no one can match her talent, commitment, and prices. She was there for us every step of the way and was such a huge help in planning the details/timeline of our wedding in order to maximize our picture time. She is very organized, professional, energetic, and down to earth. She is flexible with her packages and is easy to get in contact with. She is consistent in her style which was super important to us- regardless of the venue I truly believe she can create and capture the most beautiful moments and make them look breathtaking. If you are unsure who to hire for your big day, look no further and check "photographer" off the list because I can assure you that Alexa/Lex and The Lotus is the best way to go!!

- TATUM + MICHAEL

You can trust Alexa with one of the most important days of your life!

I hope that grabbed the attention of brides/grooms/any one planning a wedding. I truly mean it! My husband and I love our photos more than we knew we would. I cried and still do when I look through them because I relive the moments she captured.

Leading up to the wedding Alexa made sure I was crossing my T's and dotting my I's. She took, what I think is, extra time to make sure we had all the details covered. I miss her in my life- that truly speaks to how important it is to have a wonderful relationship with your photographer.

Details any "shopper" is looking for (I know I was):
1. She is professional and timely with her responses.
2. She cared about me and my husband all day.
3. Her reassuring, calm and FUN-self brought a lightness to our day.
4. My bridal party listened to her!

We feel truly blessed to have been referred Alexa. Yes, she was refereed to me! Take my referral and trust it. Book Alexa!

Alexa is so amazing! My fiancé and I had so much fun during our engagement session (and we're both pretty uncomfortable with taking pictures). She took the time to get to know us as a couple and really made us feel comfortable and have a fun experience.
Even when I first met her, she was so interested in us as a couple and getting to know exactly what we wanted and who we are. She made the whole experience feel very personal.
I can not believe how pretty the pictures turned out. During the session she worked hard to get the lighting perfect in each shot and it payed off. We heard about Alexa from our wedding planner and we are so glad that we chose her to shoot our wedding. If this is what she can do with and engagement session, we know our wedding day photos will be perfect. We can't wait!
Thank you so much Alexa!!!
