Lubomirski, who was just named Photographer of the Year at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, has social media to thank for his new high-profile gig.
The lensman told E! News recently that Markle had tracked him down on Instagram.
“It was nutty,” he told the outlet. “It was a very surreal end to the year because it came out of nowhere.
“I think one of Meghan’s friends saw me on Instagram that I was in England during the announcement of the engagement, and I was told later that this person said to her, ‘You should meet Alexi. He’s great. You’d love him’ —and that was it.”
