Hi I’m Lexi and I want to be your cheerleader, stand-in BFF, and therapist all while capturing amazing photographs! From engagement photos to your final send-off on your big day, I will help you feel comfortable behind the camera and make sure you feel fabulous at all times. 
I offer packages ranging from 4 to 12 hours of coverage, however, I’m always happy to create a custom package to fit your individual needs. Or are you thinking about eloping? Let me know where you want to say I do and I will be there! Your happiness is my top priority, second priority is making sure you look effing amazing in your photos of your big day!

Lexi was everything we could’ve asked for in a wedding photographer—kind, patient, and so talented! She made us feel comfortable and handled our large (but crazy) families with ease. Her and Ivan’s calm, caring presence helped ease any wedding-day nerves, and the photos turned out stunning (coming from someone who typically hates photos of themselves). Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your wedding day.

Autumn Waldman Photography

  • Serves South Bend, NE

Photography tells a story that words can’t. I love finding unique beauty in every stage that life brings. Your story, however mundane you think it may be, is unique. I want to capture that for you, whether it be an expecting couple going on an unknown journey towards parenthood, a newborn with oh-so-tiny details, or the unconditional love between a family. The images should speak for themselves: minimal guided poses, authentic moments and genuine emotion.

From the initial planning session to the day of, Autumn was a dream! She is a clear communicator & was able to get our vision for photos. She also helps lead the day to move forward seamlessly. Everyone loved her! The photos are amazing and unique. We are so happy with her being our photographer!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!
