If you want natural photos of yourself and your loved ones, whatever the occasion, then please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you. I capture the emotions, the relationships, the uniqueness of each of you as well as your connection to each other. No stress, no pressure, no rush. From single portraits, to proposal, engagement, weddings, maternity, birth, babies, children, families, including pets of course, I give you photos to remember each moment.Having had photos done at our wedding celebration and again six years later with our new baby I can't recommend Alix enough!
Photography for me is about finding beauty in the world and celebrating each day, each person, I shoot form the heart. My mother loved photos. She took us to photographic studios where we posed awkwardly. She has many photos on her walls but every time I look at my photos I cringe. They might be good images but they're not me and I remember having to pose to look like the photo they wanted, they were not about me, more about the photographer.
Wedding ceremonies and celebrations of all traditions; proposals, engagement and handfastings; vow renewals. All you need is love. I met Alix at my sister's wedding. She was their photographer & once I saw the results she was my first choice for my own wedding. I adore my wedding photographs & Alix herself is so easy to work with & extremely professional.
Because it's a miracle and you're doing it! You're amazing! And your baby will know it. They will know you, dad, sister/brother by smell and voice, and by your heartbeat when you're with them. From initial enquiry, Alix was friendly, welcoming and professional. I booked Alix for Birth Photography to capture the moment when I welcomed our daughter into the world.
I have never felt very comfortable in front of a camera so I am usually the one taking photos. I was afraid I wouldn't know what to do with myself, but Alix's approach allowed all of us to look very natural, as we were just playing together rather than posing! The children never got bored for a second as the session is so well paced and the activities so varied - in fact they really loved it and didn't want it to end!. The photos are beautiful and I have printed many already, we now have whole family photos where I like myself!

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!

We have known Alix for over 8 years since she originally photographed our wedding in 2012. Since then Alix has become a close and valued friend who has photographed us and our growing family frequently. Alix approached our wedding with a professional and detailed plan, we discussed situations, settings and group shots. We had a pre-shoot which allowed us to get familiar and at ease with the camera and Alix.
On the day Alix's presence was comfortable and non-invasive, however she managed to capture so many intimate moments. The photo album she produced was stunning and is still one of our most treasured items. It wasn't until we saw our photos after the honeymoon that we saw that Alix had been down the day before and scoped out our venues and had taken scenic shots with no guests. Alix has done many photo shoots for us since our wedding.
She has an ability to capture in a photograph real and natural emotions, even when our little one was less than a year old. All 4 shoots had a friendly informal feel where we just chat and Alix snaps away, producing lovely informal, non-posed photographs. We couldn't recommend Lumiere Photography more, not just for wedding photography, family photoshoots or portraits but for having an individual like Alix in your life.

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.

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!

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.

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 wasn’t 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 didn’t have to wait too long to see the results. We will treasure the photos, thank you!

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.
