Alix provided an excellent photoshoot service to my wife and myself around Rutland Water. Alix's work was not only excellent but she was also very accommodating and understanding since I had to reschedule our appointment due to illness. Her photos are fantastic both edited and unedited. As a lesson learned, make sure you clearly agree beforehand if you would like unedited photos as part of your service just to avoid any confusion. Overall, Alix is great and would recommend.

Alix is an exceptional photographer and incredibly professional yet easy to work with. I loved the mixture of formal and informal photos at our wedding with a great balance between those of the bride and groom and of the guests. She has an uncanny ability to capture the moment and people's expressions. The wedding day was a blur for me (the bride) so to look back over the photos afterwards helped me to remember parts but also see those parts I missed. I would thoroughly recommend Alix 100%

Alix is a very talented photographer and a lovely person. The communication from the start was excellent and we all felt so comfortable as soon as we met her. The photos are beautiful and capture such natural moments and the photography session as a whole was a wonderful experience. I fully recommend Alix and hope to see her again in the future for more wonderful photos!

Alix was amazing right from the go. She photographed our wedding with some beautiful photos that really bring out the natural emotions of the day and help capture the sentiment. She became a great friend of mine and the families thanks to her inclusive and approachable nature, and genuinely brought joy with her to our big day. Highly recommended!

I was introduced to Alix at my sister's wedding. She was their photographer & once I saw the results she was my first choice for my own wedding. She did not disappoint. Alix has a real talent for capturing people at their best & their most natural. I adore my wedding photographs & Alix herself is so easy to work with & extremely professional.

We booked Alix at Lumiere relatively last minute to do a photo shoot at my parent's Golden Wedding. She was brilliant, took time to work out what we wanted, and delivered it - lovely photos, mainly informal with some nice formal shots too. I would recommend Alix to anyone, very pleased.

Alix made our Family Photo session real fun which comes across in the stunning photographs she presented us with. She created a relaxed fun atmosphere which put everyone at their ease. Thanks Alix for wonderful set of photographs one of which is already being framed to take pride of place on our dining room wall. I cannot recommend Alix enough for your photo session. Regards Gerry ( at 70 ).

I can just say that Alix is the best photographer anyone can wish for. She's lovely, sweet, inspirational, funny.and really professional at the same time. She is able to capture emotions that you'll be able to relive every time you look at her pictures. Nothing conformist but UNIQUE. I highly recommend her for any occasion.as a lifetime photography. She's definitely a story teller photographer. I wish you all to have the chance to meet her for your lovely occasion. THANKS Alix for the photo shoot we has on Sunday!

Alix made the whole family feel at ease. She found out what my eldest likes and brought along relevant toys and played games with him, he really enjoyed himself. The photos are beautiful and very natural.

Thank you for the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen, anywhere. Thank you for being so supportive on the day; looking back... the wedding would have been a mess without you. I am in awe of how you effortlessly float around with ease, and capture even the most camera-shy of guests in photographs that are worthy of Time magazine. These are not just photographs, they are art. I cannot thank you enough and will recommend you to everyone. The feedback from the guests has likewise been amazing. Thank you so much.

Birth Photography: I wanted the Birth of my second child captured forever, in a moment frozen in time, that I can look back on time after time. Our baby was born in a pool at home. I thought it would be over whelming with a team of nine including myself and a photographer, but overall it went swimmingly and Alix made herself at home which put me at ease. She is organised, focused and professional and the images are absolutely stunning.
Claire Brain
We first met Alix when she photographed a family wedding and I was impressed by her friendly and caring approach as well as the stunning images she captured of a special day. When looking for someone to photograph our newborn she was the obvious choice, I knew we would have a special shoot and I wasnt disappointed. She took time to get to know us and our baby and made the whole experience something to remember. Editing was very speedy too so we didnt have to wait too long to see the results. We will treasure the photos, thank you!

We are the family mentioned in the previous comment and we second that assessment :-) Alix took some lovely photos with a minimum of "sit here, look here" direction, and we are very pleased with them indeed. She was very willing to be flexible to choose a time and place which suited us.

Alix has recently done a photoshoot for a friend of ours, which we arranged as a gift. She has been unbelievably kind and considerate of the family's difficult circumstances and has gone out of the way to accommodate them. The photographs are absolutely beautiful and really capture them at their best. We couldn't have been happier.
