Shado photographed our December wedding and was wonderful to work with! He is quick to respond, kind, easy going, makes you feel so comfortable. When at other weddings I usually feel like the photographer stands out and is in the way. Shado blended into our event seemlessly. I did not notice him at all and there were so many photos where I didn't even realize he was there to capture the moment. The preview photos we got exceeded my expectations and I LOVED all of them. We would absolutely work with him again in the future!

We had the best experience with Shado for our wedding!! He took a lot of time to ask personal questions leading up to the day to get a feel for us as a couple on top of what we were looking for out of our photos. He really captured it all and then some. It felt like another one of our friends with the wedding party and he made it so comfortable and fun, especially for a portion of the day that can feel so staged. All of our guests were impressed as well and had such great things to say. We are obsessed with our "preview" photos that we got back right away and can't believe there are more! 100/10 recommend.

Shado was an amazing photographer in all aspects. The energy he brought to our wedding, the detailed approach he takes to photography, and the care he shows in his craft made our wedding what it was.

I highly recommend him for any type of wedding / event. Thanks again so much Shado! We appreciate everything you have done!

My partner and I reached out to Shado about a year before our wedding. Even from the beginning, it was fun and easy to communicate with him. I’m really glad that we did an engagement photoshoot with him and his co-photographer, Brian, in the summer of 2024. It definitely got out some of the jitters of getting our pictures taken and it was nice to get to know them. Shado and Brian are a great combination of being both very personable and professional.

I appreciated how organized Shado was and the frequency that he communicated: his organization made us confident in him and his communication made us feel like he was attentive to us. While the questioner we filled out for him a few weeks before the wedding was quite long and time consuming, it ended up making the day of the wedding go extremely smoothly so it was definitely worth the time commitment to fill out.

Shado and Brian really make a good team. They have unique perspectives that help to make each photo really eye catching. I also appreciated that they were open to trying some photo ideas that my partner and I had. Additionally, they were wonderful people to party with—everyone at our wedding had a great time talking and laughing with them. Shado also used his new Polaroid camera; on top the very thorough digital gallery we received about a month after, walking away from the wedding with a handful of Polaroids was wicked fun!

I would highly recommend Shado of a Rose!

Shado was amazing, he has a wonderful energy, attention to detail, with a fun yet elegant style. So many of my guests complimented his personality and ability to capture moments. I found him a pure joy to have shooting our wedding, he made us all feel like rockstars and the pictures themselves are absolutely incredible.

Could not have asked for better quality photos! Shado was able to capture all aspects of the night with a candid, genuine depiction of the evening! He was everywhere all at once and made sure to get the small details that could be easily forgotten amidst the chaos that is a wedding day! His easy going personality makes for quality photos that will be cherished for a lifetime. Highly recommend!!!

Shado of a Rose were incredible photographers to work with! They were flexible with our timeline, and showed up extremely professional. The care they put into getting to know their clients really makes the difference. They want to know you as a person, not just a client. That really shows in the photos.

Shado was there without being there. What I mean by that is that he perfectly balances capturing the entire night without making himself known. He was confident in his photos and was able to wrangle all the family members to capture everything we wanted. He brought good vibes and professionalism to the day!

We are a typical couple with normal human nerves with these types of experiences. Shado was able to relieve these feelings upon arrival! We took pictures at our home and at a beautiful spot in NH! He made the whole experience one to never forget! We love love love the pictures that came back to us! He let us choose our adventure and made sure to highlight what we wanted from the pictures. He was easy going and personable. We would recommend anyone to have the same wonderful experience we did by booking with Shado of a rose photography

We could not have asked for better photographers than Shado & Isabelle! From the very first phone call we knew we wanted them to be a part of our wedding. Their style of photography was exactly what we wanted for our Maine island wedding. Shado and Isabelle do such an amazing job of getting to know you as a couple and making your big day as effortless and amazing as possible. Having the engagement photoshoot included in the wedding package was a huge benefit as well. Looking through our photos, we are so thrilled with not only the incredible photos of us as newlyweds, but of our family and friends. They captured the feelings and emotions of the day so perfectly. Shado and Isabelle as truly 5 star and an absolute pleasure to work with.
