I loved meeting up with Lexi and Alex for their engagement photos this winter in Middle River, Maryland.
When chatting with them about a location for their session, Lexi immediately knew they wanted a beach location. Alex proposed on the beach and they are planning a beach wedding, so it was only fitting to also have engagement photos taken at the beach.
And a winter beach engagement session was kind of perfect. We had the place practically to ourselves. A much different feel than if we were there in the summertime.
Lexi and Alex are the perfect example of making your session true to you. The two aren’t quite the type to get dressed up super fancy. So rather than be uncomfortable, they decided to do matching sweat sets, and I loved it!
Cute, comfy, while still looking nice, and perfect for an outdoor session in February.
If you’re new here, you should know that I love dogs. So any time couples bring their dogs to sessions I am thrilled! As any dog parent can agree with, Lexi and Alex’s dogs are such big parts of their lives that they couldn’t leave them out.
Scooby is a 6 year old Great Dane and Biscuit is a 7 year old English Bulldog. The two made great additions to their photos with their “best friend” harnesses and playful spirits. Though all Biscuit wanted to do was play in the freezing water!
And I have to give a special shout out to Lexi’s mom and sister and Alex’s parents who all came to help keep the dogs happy (and warm) throughout the session.
During their session, I spotted a section of rock along the water that looked perfect. But it involved climbing under some fallen trees and onto the rocks. Without question, Lexi and Alex were like ‘screw it let’s do it’.
And it was so worth it!
