Alexa + Zach

Tom & Lexi were absolutely incredible from start to finish! From our very first phone call, we knew we were in the best hands—they are the most genuine, down-to-earth people. For our engagement shoot, they blew us away with their talent, creativity, and how efficiently they worked. They made everything feel effortless and fun, and they were up for anything we wanted to try.
On the wedding day, they split up to cover both me and my husband getting ready at separate locations, which was such a thoughtful touch. They were organized, professional, and breezed through the photos we had requested, ensuring we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Lexi even carried my bouquet at one point to make sure I didn’t trip over my dress—talk about going above and beyond!
Working with them was an absolute pleasure, and they truly made everything so easy and enjoyable. If you’re considering booking Tom & Lexi, DO IT! You won’t find a more talented or kind-hearted duo. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Tom and Lexi are just the best! We received our sneak peak of both the engagement session and wedding day within 48 hours. From our wedding, Tom & Lexi put together a beautiful slideshow of selected shots set to the sweetest soundtrack, which was a ton of fun to watch and relive the day until the final full portfolio was ready. The final online gallery was sorted into specific albums for different parts of the day which made it really easy to browse, and is easily shareable. One guest commented, “These are honestly the best wedding photos I've seen” and so many other guests commented on how gorgeous all the photos are; we can’t wait to share prints with our family and wedding party. We are seriously amazed. Tom & Lexi truly captured the love and happiness felt during our special day -- we keep looking at them and thinking, how did you capture everyone so perfectly, allowing their personalities shine through? How were you both in 1350831 different places at once and yet totally able to blend into the background? How do you guys keep raising the bar with each additional peek at our photos? We are so grateful we chose you as our photographers! Thank you Tom & Lexi!

Gracie + Erik

Tom and Lexi were an absolutely phenomenal team to work with and we are SO thrilled we went with them for our wedding photography! From day 1 when we were first in communication, they patiently answered all of our questions about how they work and their style. On our wedding day, Tom and Lexi were completely professional and provided a super calm-yet-totally-on-the-ball energy while taking all our portraits and group shots. Our photography was definitely the most important vendor to us other than the venue, and we could tell Tom and Lexi totally understand that sentiment. Just like with our engagement shoot, they gave us great direction and kept the atmosphere super light and positive which allowed us to completely soak up the feelings of love through different moments of the day.
Above all, Tom and Lexi are two delightful, easy-going, and wildly talented individuals who together are greater than the sum of their parts, and we feel so incredibly lucky we were able to snag them for our wedding. If you’re thinking about hiring them, don’t wait – do it right now!
