Danny + Alexis' Elegant Summer Engagement Session at The Butler Institute of American Art & Fellows Riverside Gardens in Youngstown, Ohio | July 11, 2019 | Youngstown Wedding Photographer

A couple of weeks ago, Donny & I had the pleasure of photographing Danny + Alexis in celebration of their engagement! These two were so smiley, playful, & cute throughout the whole shoot & dressed to impress. They were accompanied by Alexis’ beautiful mother Stephanie + brother Cameron who came to help out. It was so nice meeting everyone and hanging out! Donny & I enjoy the social aspect of sessions just as much as the artistic & technical sides of photographing. We always love meeting knew people & making new friends!

Danny + Alexis chose Fellows Riverside Gardens & The Butler Institute of American Art for their photography locations. This was the perfect combination of spots for their session & complemented their outfits so well, offering elegant structural backdrops & natural beauty! Although we battled the weather for much of the day, forcing us to change our initial plans, we all made the most of it. The sun eventually came out for a bit and we didn’t have any trouble capturing all of the beauty, cuteness, & personality these locations & this couple had to offer! Their session was wonderful & we had so much fun with these two lovebirds & Alexis’ family!

Enjoy some of our favorite moments from this gorgeous engagement session! :)

Alexis’ engagement ring is STUNNING!! It was especially pretty resting in this gorgeous watery red rose! :)

We always tell our couples to “kiss with your teeth.” It’s so cute! :)

Thanks, again, Danny + Alexis for choosing us as your photographers! Your session was so much fun & it turned out gorgeous, despite the weather’s best efforts! haha We’re so happy & excited for you two as you near forever together :)
