I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, which means and am a Buckeye fan for life (O-H!). My marketing job brought my husband and I to Chicago after graduating from Ohio University in 2015. We currently live in the Chicago suburbs with our Cockapoo, Gryffin.
Aric and I met in high school (yes, you read that right!) and have been inseparable ever since. We got married at The Grand Barn at the Mohican’s in 2018 and stayed in a treehouse on our wedding night! We look super serious in this pic (a top fav from our wedding), but Aric is the goofiest man I know and we're always laughing!

I briefly lived in California growing up. We traveled all over the state the year we lived there, which must have spawned my love for travel because I’m always dreaming about my next adventure! So far, my favorite places are Nashville, London, Florence, Paris and Grand Teton National Park. My dream is to photograph weddings all over the world – Paris and Lake Como are at the top of my list!
Meet Gryffin! When I'm not behind the camera, I'm usually at my desk with this one by my side. He's named after Gryffindor House in Harry Potter, which is a favorite around here! Gryff is super sweet, loves people & furry friends and is the perfect third member of our family! Keep an eye out for his sweet and silly personality on my Instagram Stories.
I was always the friend documenting everything with a camera. I never dreamed it could be something more.
My wedding experience opened my eyes to the possibility of turning my passions to a career.
In 2019, a friend asked me to take some photos of her family and Lexi Benjamin Photography was born.
Since then, I've documented countless weddings, proposals and engagement sessions across the country. My dream is to photograph weddings all over the world!
