From school dances to celebrations, I was always the girl with a camera in hand documenting the moments. But it wasn't until my own wedding in 2018 that I realized the true importance of freezing these moments in time, and that photography was my calling.
When searching for a wedding photographer for my own wedding, I struggled to find someone with a luminous, timeless aesthetic who could also capture candid moments and create iconic, editorial-style portraits. So in 2019 I created Lexi Benjamin Photography to serve couples who are looking for exactly that.
Since then I have had the honor of capturing nearly 100 weddings in Chicago and across the country. Capturing your biggest day while bringing you joy is my passion and life's work. I can’t wait to hear your story and bring your wedding vision to life!

about LEXI
Ooh la la, it's Moi
Capturing joyous, authentic moments like when you first see each other, expressions during toasts or celebrating on the dance floor are important in reliving your day.
Candid reactions
I believe the little in-between moments are just as powerful as the big ones – the anticipation before "I do," emotion of private vows or fleeting glances during your reception.
Intimate moments
Whether it’s your invitation suite, a family heirloom or floral design, capturing your details tells the story of not only how your day looked, but also, how it felt.
