Beach Engagement Session


Holy Toledo, am I right? Maumee Bay is such a hidden gem for this community. You would literally never realize that you are in Toledo, Ohio by looking at the photos from this session. We all joked about how we were in the Bahamas for this engagement session, so maybe we can go with that?!

Engagement Sessions


Annie and Nate were a dream to work with, and let's not forget about their puppy, Moose. Late July sessions like these are dreamy to me, and also why choosing a later time in the day is important for the vibe you choose for your photos. Evenings provide a nice and easy, breezy (finish that sentence without thinking of a makeup brand) tone to your photos, and also help you not feel like the sun is burning your eyes, am I right?

Engagement sessions are FUN. I said it, yes, FUN AS HECK. It is a perfect way to get to know your wedding photographer a little more than the emails you send back and fourth, as well as to just take a break from wedding planning (kind of) and hangout with your fiancé. Working with my couples before their big day, as well as before our coffee date to help go over a wedding timeline, really helps us all feel like we are close. Do you really want someone who you don't really mesh with taking your engagement and wedding photos? Sounds like a nightmare to me. I like to believe that my clients turn into friends. This is a standard that I focus on with my brand- I genuinely care about you and your life, so let's all hangout and have fun before your most important day. I'll crack all the mom jokes I have, so be ready to laugh and get weird during your engagement session.


Love and light,

Alexandra Shaffer
