Hi, I’m Alex Shaffer—the girl behind the lens!
Every love story is a treasure, and I'm honored to be a part of each one!
In my world, I find genuine joy in simple things—family, a perfect cup of coffee, and the delightful chaos of being a dog mom to Berkeley. I cherish quality time with loved ones, long walks in nature, and spending time with God in His presence.

Alexandria photographed both our engagement and wedding photos. In both experiences, she was punctual, flexible, kind and fun to work with. Her work is phenomenal (and reasonably priced!), and I couldn't recommend her more for your special moments! You can tell she loves what she does and puts maximum effort into ensuring your photos reflect gorgeous colors and truly capture the emotions. Her attention to detail is superb; throughout both experiences, she would kindly advise on hair and positioning to help my hubby and me look our best, in addition to having ready recommendations for the engagement photo venue, outfit ideas, wedding details, and photo books, among other things. She was a true asset to our wedding and I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her.
