Tera Shaffer Photography

hing we needed! She went above and beyond what I was expecting. She never made me feel like my requests were too much. She is so sweet and I would recommend her to anyone! I’m so grateful that I chose her for my wedding!

so smoothly. It was raining the entire time we were taking pictures & Tera helped us all stay so calm & made the most out of the situation! The pictures turned out so beautiful. We highly recommend!

to work with and we loved the ideas she had for pictures!!! Tera thank you so much for these memories of such an important day in our lives!

ld highly recommend Tera for any events and would hire her for any events I would need photos for in the future!

ng pose us for the perfect shots. She even let me wear her coat when it was freezing out! Tera and her daughter helped make our day so special. My husband and I can't wait to use her for more pictures in the future!

m our first conversation she put us at ease and guided us so much! Our engagement shoot was so fun and Tera did a great job directing us (two people who don’t model very naturally!). On the day of our wedding, Tera was incredible. She and her second shooter Rylee were both so professional and captured hundreds of beautiful moments from our day. She also helped us with even the smallest details - I had forgotten a crochet hook to help button my dress and she had two right on hand! After the wedding, she got us a photo preview within two days, and ALL of our photos were back to us in less than a month - the turn around was amazing! All of our friends and family have commented both on how kind Tera and Rylee were, and of the high quality of the photos they took. I will treasure our photos forever.

ding pictures. We couldn’t be more happy with how both of them turned out. She is very communicative and quick to deliver the gallery. We could not recommend her enough.

We are so happy we chose Tera to document our day because the photos came out so good even with the damp weather (she brought umbrellas for just such an occasion). When you hire Tera (because it shouldn't be an "if") you won't regret your decision at all. We want to thank Tera once again for doing such an amazing job capturing our day we are still over the moon. Robert & Gina

ng details, getting everyone in line and on time, and buttoning my buttons. What I appreciated most was that she was quietly in the shadows during the ceremony to not ruin the moment but in no way jeopardized stunning shots. Her energy and excitement kept us going during the outdoor shoot despite the freezing temperature. She had a super fast turn around time. Her work is extraordinary; we cannot recommend her enough!

zed and extremely professional photographer who advocates for you and can genuinely make you laugh your butts off look no further. 20 out of 10 for Tera Shaffer photography. So thankful she and her kind & talented team were apart of our day!

nd was a great resource for timing and planning out the day. Plus, she is very easy to communicate with and promptly provided us the photos from our wedding. A true professional!

n meeting with us for planning the engagement shoot and the wedding as well. This was so helpful because we knew absolutely nothing about what we were getting into! Tera calmed us down and was able to give us so much guidance and advice. For our engagement pictures, my wife and I were nervous because we don't always think to take pictures with each other and feel that we lack vision for what would make a great pic! Tera was so kind and made us feel at ease when we were doing our photoshoot at a public park. She is so fun to be around and has a great energy. We informed her that we wanted some of the pictures to use for Save The Dates and she got us a portion of the pictures within two days of the photoshoot! Very considerate of our timeline and then got the rest of the pictures to us within a week. We loved them so much and still have them hanging all over our house! Between the engagement shoot and our wedding, Tera always got back to us same day with any questions we had leading up to the event. She was constantly available to us as we updated her on our timeline for the day and what we would need from her. She made sure to establish a list of all the "must-have" pictures we hoped to get from the day and learned the names of all of our family members so that she could flawlessly coordinate our large families after the ceremony for pictures! We were so impressed! Although our wedding ceremony wasn't until 5:30pm, Tera showed up 5 hours early to capture so many special moments leading up to the ceremony! She got incredible pictures of my wife and all of her bridesmaids while they got ready and of myself and groomsmen while we were getting ready. All of our wedding party pictures turned out great and Tera did a great job making sure everyone had their moment to shine! Tera also arrived day-of with an additional photographer to make sure that not a single special moment was missed. Both of them were so kind and they worked together so well to make our day even better! Tera was able to get so many cool angles from our ceremony and got all of the fun moments for our reception. I look at some of the pictures and don't even remember Tera taking them! She somehow gets an intimate and transient moment captured without you even realizing she was there! Tera was even nice enough to take beautiful portrait shots of our wedding party and their significant others so they have a special memory of that day as well. We could not be any happier with how all of the shots turned out. One other special moment on our wedding day was right at sunset. She came and grabbed us for a couple of our favorite pictures with a sunset background. What a nice moment it was for my wife and I to have a few moments of alone time on a hectic day. We are less than two weeks out from our wedding and we already have had a flash drive delivered to our doorstep from a different state. All of our incredible pictures in one place and we had online access to them before a week had passed from our wedding. Tera is a true professional and we can't get over how lucky we are to have worked with her.

ery creative and just an all around joy to work with. She helped capture our special day in a way that takes us back every time we look at our pictures. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. Tera is definitely your girl!!

ding so I knew she worked with him well and was able to capture him with a true smile on his face. Additionally, I had seen Tera's work on her facebook page as well as my brother and sister in laws wedding photos she took! I had no hesitation booking with her for our big day! She is very quick to respond with any communication and very sweet! On our big day she was amazing! It was quite hot that day and she did such a great job of coordinating all of the pictures to get us out of the sun and heat as fast as possible while also making sure we had all the photos we really wanted! I was very shocked to have our sneak peak within 48 hours and our whole gallery to look at online in only a weeks time! All of the photos were SO beautiful and captured our day perfectly! They will be something my husband and I will cherish forever! 100% recommend Tera!

to anyone, & I have the absolute most stunning pictures to forever cherish.

ures. She is polite, creative, and so patient. I had to reschedule my engagement photos quite a few times and she worked with me to reschedule. Even when I was forced to move my engagement pictures to January, outside, in 14 degree weather – she arrived ready to go and smiled/laughed with us the whole day. She is organized and responds quickly to emails. She gave me a preview within two days and my final wedding pictures were ready within ONE week! Cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Tera. Great photographer and great person!

was so flexible and understanding! Our pictures turned out amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

r wedding was cancelled once due to COVID and rescheduled for a date next fall. Two weeks before New Years Day we decided we didn't want to wait any longer. We wanted a very small wedding with our closest people but wanted it all captured on camera. I called Tera and she was so flexible and said she would love to be there. I also let her know we wanted a bigger one in September and a reception to celebrate. She was extremely helpful, accommodating, and worked with us. The return time on our pictures was also very prompt. I've waited longer on simple birthday pictures from commercial photographer then I did for a whole day of capturing. I laughed, cried, and smiled while looking back on the day. Anything I suggested she ran with made 10x better. I cannot wait to work with her again!

. Tera is one of the kindest people ever. We would highly recommend her for any of your photography needs. Tera is so easy to be around and really makes you feel comfortable. She was open to all our ideas for pictures and poses that we wanted to do. We have photos that will last a lifetime and cannot wait to share them with generations to come.

es!

a wedding and not knowing where to start. I read about Tera on the knot and we decided to meet. The moment we met I knew she was the person for us. She helped us plan a timeline and was so easy going. It just felt right and we hired her on the spot. She took amazing engagement photos for us and made us feel so comfortable. They turned out amazing. Then the pandemic hit. We were supposed to get married in April 2020. I can still remember talking to Tera to let her know we had to cancel. Her genuine support and response made me cry because she cared so much in that moment when it felt like we were losing so much. It meant the world to us. Moving on we had to find a new date. She sent us open dates for her. Between our schedules and our reception venue we had to pick a date that Tera wasn’t available. I was obviously so sad. We broke it to Tera and she did something so unexpectedly sweet. She found a friend photographer to come to our wedding. We struck up a deal that this photographer who was also so amazing would come take the pictures at our wedding and Tera would edit them and send them to us. Are you for real?? That’s amazing!!! Not everyone would do something like that for people. So when I say you should hire Tera, I mean it with my whole heart. She will never leave you hanging no matter what. She will meet you as a stranger and instantly make you feel like family. And she takes amazing photos. I seriously can’t recommend her any more.

n think to have captured. She really is great at her job and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! :)

ery question we had, even with COVID pushing our original date back Tera still accommodated our new date and plans ! We received our engagement pictures back in a timely manner and our wedding pictures were ready a week an a half after our wedding. :)) Our second photographer Angie was just as great, too! Our family and bridal party kept commenting on how much they loved Angie and Tera and how they made everything feel so comfortable and fun! Thank you so much Tera , our pictures are beautiful!

and our wedding party with fun photo ideas and allowed us all to be ourselves and enjoy the day. What I liked most about Tera was her level of organization and planning that she put into our day. We knew our exact photo shoot list after the ceremony and also had a schedule to follow that covered getting ready before the wedding all of the way to the garter toss. Highly recommend having Tera as your photographer, whatever the event may be!

end.

n the day did not go as planned and our party bus got stuck in the mud for a significant amount of time she remained calm and collected and still managed to capture the most stunning photos. Tera was very well organized and came in with a plan. Our pictures were returned to us very promptly and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We would recommend Tera to anyone who is looking for someone to photograph their special day.

ling to meet before the wedding to plan out a time line and capture the pictures I was really wanting on the wedding day. I would highly recommended Tera as a photographer!

d we felt comfortable and had fun through it all! Your wedding day will fly by and it’s so nice having a full day of pictures to look back through! Thank you again, Tera Shaffer Photography :)

eption that we had not thought out yet. Her expertise was so incredibly helpful throughout the wedding planning process. On our wedding day, Tera was here, there, and everywhere. There was nothing lacking from our photos and nothing that we wished we would have gotten a picture of. She was so kind, flexible, and you could tell that she really knew what she was doing. We received proofs of our pictures very quickly and they were beautiful!! I was so amazed that Tera was able to capture the most special and precious moments from our wedding. I was so grateful to have beautiful pictures of my wedding that I will cherish forever. Tera is one of a kind and by far the most professional and the most qualified photographer that I have worked with.

Tera was still energetic in leading our bridal party through outside pictures. Our videographer and Tera worked well together to get the best shots on our list and keep things moving along during family photos. She got our photos back to us quickly, including the most beautiful sneak peaks a few days after the wedding! Tera took time to answer all of our questions and did her best to accommodate our requests and preferences. We cannot wait to see the custom album we have ordered from her with all of her pictures of us. Thank you Tera for being such an important part of our special day!

day. She became the point person between our venue and DJ on the big day so that we didn't have to worry about the small logistic details. Also as far as pictures go, wow. They were great and she is open to a spectrum of options. You can do every pose you ever wanted or just tell her you want good pictures and she will organize every pose you need.

sure my day was as well. She even got me a sneak peak of about 15 photos the very next day so we could enjoy a few captured moments before we left for the honeymoon. Tera is extremely personable and so fun to work with. She made sure every photo I wanted was captured and even found the time to sneak us out at the reception for a picture with the sunset. And it turned out absolutely stunning. My bridal party was a little bit tipsy in between the ceremony and reception while on the party bus but Tera just worked with it and kept us all focused on the photos but still captured some of the funny candid moments we had. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Tera and I cannot wait to see the rest of my photos! Hire Tera for anything and you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Tera so much!!

friendly but not intrusive. Communication prior to the event was great. I highly recommend her!

oment and never seemed to miss an important moment. Thanks Tera we had a blast and love all your photos! We couldn’t be happier!

e with her schedule. During our wedding day, she was able to capture very special moments of us and our guests while making everyone feel very comfortable. She let us take her all around town to get beautiful city backed photos in Toledo--and there were many locations we wanted to visit and did! She was fast, VERY fast at getting edited pictures back to us. We had a sneak peak only a few days after the wedding and the whole collections within a few weeks. We will definitely be using her services again for other family photos.

ent in getting family pictures done.

photos. I am so glad we went with her!

would get 10 stars if possibly. Tera is so talented and goes above and beyond to make your session special. Her work is impeccable and she is willing to hear your suggestions/requests. She also was more than willing to work with our fur babies and included them in every setting which meant so much to us. We can’t thank her enough!

and even when she wasn’t taking pictures. Tera felt like a friend capturing our day and very quickly and easily became part of the crowd. She is absolutely amazing and I can’t thank her enough for capturing every special moment in my wedding day !

ryone dancing and having fun! She had creative ideas and our wedding pictures are beautiful! Also she got the pictures back to me so quick, I wasn’t expecting them for at least a month or two like all my friends! I recommend Tera for any kind of photography. I know that if I ever need a photographer for another event she will be the first person I contact!

She communicated well with our DJ and helped our night run smoothly. While she is professional, she also has an ability to make people laugh and continue having fun. Our pictures were absolutely stunning, and as a result, we have received so many compliments on them! She truly captured every important moment of our day, and we could not be any happier! If you are looking for the best photographer in the are, look no further. Thank you Tera Shaffer Photography!

era Bread of key photos we wanted, her patience with our families, and her kindness. I highly recommend Tera Shaffer for any photography worthy event you wish to capture.
