My wife was preparing for our daughter's 1st birthday party and we thought of hiring a photographer to take some pictures for us because we wanted to capture the event as much as possible but we knew we won't have time to do so on top of entertaining all of our guests. We wanted taking pictures one less thing to worry about.
We got to searching and my wife found Lux. They seemed pretty decent so we gave them a shot. I really was not expecting much... I just need all the pictures that they could take that we can look back to years from now.
The day of the party came, Spike and his videographer (sorry I forget his name) were there ready to go. I was surprised with their game plan. They literally were like ninjas, blending in the crowds and our guests didn't notice they were there while taking pictures and videos. Pretty awesome. But also, when we need them to take over and gather guests up for some group photo-ops, they made sure they got everyone.
I was all over the place at the party that day so I didn't really get to manage them much or tell them to capture this and that... I just let them do their thing.
After the party, we waited about a week and a half to get the pictures and videos. Spike's estimate was 2 weeks so he was early. I was so pleasantly surprised about the results. The pictures are amazing! Most of the captured moments were candid and it really takes me back to the party everytime I look at them. The short video was also very nicely done. The song they picked was right on and I think I watched it over 100 times. No joke and I'm not exaggerating. I would upload it here if it wasn't too big.
Hiring Lux to capture our daughter's 1st birthday party was just another idea from the many that we thought of to make the party happen, but what we got from Spike and his team is something that is priceless: BEAUTIFUL memories from the party that will last us years, even decades. This is something that my daughter can look back to when she's older.
Thank you again, Spike!
