Heartfelt storytelling for
soul-filled celebrations.
Iโm Lex โ a destination and Upstate New York wedding photographer specializing in capturing real moments with intention, emotion, and artistry. I document love stories across the globe for couples who value connection, trust the process, and want to feel fully present on their day.
With over 100 weddings photographed since 2018, this is more than just a job โ itโs my lifeโs work. Iโm here to create imagery that feels as good as it looks: grounded, expressive, and honest. From wedding days to engagement sessions, every image is approached with care, direction, and heart.
This is photography that celebrates your story โ the way it really felt. Let's make something unforgettable together.

โจ Watching someone return to their passion is one of the most inspiring things. Kelly has always been a creative soul, but for years she poured herself fully into motherhood and into building an incredible family with her awesome husband, Eric. To see her circle back to her art with so much devotion, clarity, and fire is nothing short of magic.
Her work is stunning. It’s ethereal, grounded, and deeply intentional. Every piece feels like a reflection of the unseen, a reminder of the beauty that lives within and around us. She is not only an incredible artist, but also an astrologer, human design guide, and one of the most aligned humans I know. Our conversations always make their way to the stars.
I resonate so deeply with her journey; the way she’s honoring her gifts, weaving together her artistry and soul work, and sharing it with the world. Getting to create with her and capture these portraits feels like such an honor. โจ
Kelly, you are radiant. Thank you for showing us all what it looks like to come home to yourself & your craft.
Follow along with her artistry at www.kellykubiak.com @kellykubiak —you’ll be moved. ๐

no doubt with these two ๐๐ธ๐
And how lucky are me and @mlstudiosny for having the honor of documenting their day next year… they’re actually 1 of 3 amazing couples all in the same friend group that we get to share wedding days with. That’s why we do it ya’ll. For you and your people. XO

off the clock, rules don’t apply.

As the summer winds down here in Buffalo, I’m throwing it back to Bri + Luke’s Cancun wedding because honestly… down there, summer never really ends. It’s my favorite season so I’m keepin’ her alive! ๐ดโ๏ธ๐ฉต
I got to spend three days with them along with their amazing family & friends. From the all white welcome party to the heartfelt rehearsal dinner to the big day itself… every single moment was unforgettable! It was nonstop energy, love, and celebration. Trying to fit the essence of the entire celebration into one Instagram post feels impossible. But here’s a little slice of what those days looked like. And it ended with one unforgettable night that capped it all off. No really… the Unico night club hated to see us comin’ ๐๐๐ผโจ๐คช๐ชฉ
Here’s to Bri + Luke, and to the kind of love that makes every season feel like summer. You guys are the best and I’m forever grateful I got to be there. ๐

Summer in the city with Lauren & Rick. โจ
It felt only fitting to capture their engagement in Boston, the city they call home—we’ll be celebrating their wedding next year at the beautiful Admiral Room here in Buffalo. Their love is sweet, fun, and effortless, and I can’t wait to continue telling their story. ๐ฅ๐๐๐

Taylor’s maternity session at HyWynne Farms was such a special one. It was hot, hazy, and such a beautiful golden hour, and we just got to roam freely and take it all in. Thanks to my gorgeous and amazing friend @gotjamison for inviting us into her family farm๐ท๐
This was her first baby, and now that he’s here, I feel so lucky that I got to capture this season of her life before everything changed in the best way.

A coastal themed styled shoot that I’m going to drool over for a long time. ๐๐โจ
My first ever styled shoot in the books! It was so inspiring to see so many unique details come together into one vision. The best part? Connecting with so many talented photographers from Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse— creating side by side and finally putting faces to names. Feeling grateful for the chance to be part of something so creative, and excited to carry this energy into the remainder of the year.

Aylin + Christian in Mexico โจ
Destination weddings are always such an honor, but this one was unforgettable. With no bridal party, just the two of them, the focus was entirely on their love, their vows, and the people who know their hearts best. Their circle of family & friends is incredible, and the way they poured love back into every detail made the entire weekend feel personal and profound.
These are the weddings that remind me why I do what I do. When I’m invited into something so intimate, I don’t just get to document a day… I get to know the people, the stories, and the connections that make it all so meaningful. From the quiet moments to the wild ones, Aylin & Christian’s love was palpable in every frame. Congratulations, you two. What an honor it was to be there!!!
And these are just some of the photos I love so much because narrowing it down for Instagram felt nearly impossible. Moments like this deserve way more recognition than a handful of squares.

Wuuuu am I ready for wedding day with these two ๐ฎ๐จ. See you baddies in 19 DAYS. โค๏ธ๐ฅ

Jessica + Brian | 2.22.25 | Buffalo History Museum
A winter wedding full of warmth, style and the kind of love that lingers long after the day ends. These two were that and more; kind, intentional, and so effortlessly in sync. The kind of day that reminds you why February is such a beautiful month to get married.โจ
So grateful to have documented it all alongside the incredible @marykatemurphyphoto ๐ธ

Marissa’s bridal shower was nothing short of stunning— full of thoughtful details, meaningful connections, and so much love. I’m so grateful to have been invited into this moment, thanks to my dear friend Miranda of @mq_events_ (the kind of wedding planner who just gets it ๐ซ).
One of the most special parts of my experience with Marissa was a private session we did after the shower, where Marissa re-created her parents’ wedding photos in her mom’s actual dress. It was magic. And I can’t wait to share the beauty of that as well! ๐ฅน
If you’re planning a shower (or really any moment worth remembering during this season), photography can be such a powerful way to hold onto it all… the details and the people who made it unforgettable.

Walking into wedding week with Tyler + Claire ๐ค๐ฆข๐ฅ

Some work just stays with you.
This session at Knox Farms was two summers ago, yet still holds such a special place in my heart. The way it all just flowed. The warmth, the light, the girls.
My style might have shifted a bit since then. I’ve grown— we are all growing. And no matter where my growth takes me, the core of what I do will always remain the same.
To capture people as they are; in their full, honest & beautiful form. These photos deserve to be seen again. And I’m so glad I get to share them.

Janelle always brings the juice. ๐
And I mean that! Janelle, you are my muse who never misses. More than a muse nowadays; she always shows up with tons of props, jewlery, clothing… alllll the things that bring our sessions from 0 to 100. But what is even more important about our shoots is our collective energy. I am beyond lucky you’ve adopted me as your photographer because ever single one of our sessions feels like a daydream. Baby bump #2 never looked cooler.
And a side note— we were planning for a SUNNY, SHINY day and got a gloomy, rainy one and honestly who would have known. We always make lemonade outta lemons, baby. ๐ฅ

I used to feel behind for not posting right after every shoot.
But lately I’ve realized: wedding photos never, ever expire. This fall wedding from last year still holds so much meaning for me— I’m finally giving it the moment it deserves. Talore & Cody, you two were magic at the @lookout_hopelake ๐๐ผโจ

โจ when you realize nothing + everything matters all at once โจ
I have found so much peace in realizing nothing matters — and that’s exactly why everything does.
When you release your grip, and simply allow what’s called to make its way, that’s when the real magic happens.
:)
Because nothing matters.
And everything does.
I’m just lucky to be here,
purely present in time,
camera in hand,
heart wide open.
