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

I don’t even know where to begin in describing just how fantastic Shado of a Rose photography was throughout the entire process!! Right from our first inquiry interaction with Isabelle and Shado we knew they were true professionals. They got back to us so quickly and set up a phone call to begin discussing our day and answered all our questions. Throughout the entire process they were prompt and available.
We had our complimentary engagement session that came with our package, and they blew us away with those photos. We loved meeting them and get comfortable with the posing process. We were a bit nervous going into the engagement session, but they made it so much fun!!
On our big day they were prompt and had a perfect back up plan ready for us when the rain was heavier than expected. They learned our bridal party names very quickly (so impressive!), and addressed people by name during photos. They made sure to capture all the shots that we requested, and then so many more. They blended right into our intimate wedding group and had fun right along with us.
We received a sneak peak just four days after the wedding that included so many photos. Our vision was to have fun, happy, and natural photos from
our day, they have exceeded our expectations!!
We can’t wait for the final album in a few weeks.
It would be a mistake not to choose these two to capture your wedding day!
Thank you Isabelle and Shado, we will be forever grateful! :)

Shado and Isabelle shot our wedding at Sweet Pea's Cafe in Bar Harbor ME on 5/19/2024. The two of them were punctual, extraordinarily professional, hilarious, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

From the initial consultation we had with them, it was clear that they were on top of their game. We had an hour long conversation about what we were looking for, how the day would go, and what photos might be important to us - Shado and Isa brought up many great details and considerations we might have overlooked otherwise.

Next was a detailed questionnaire regarding the day and the photos we wanted. Being able to check boxes for specific photo types and being prompted to think about exactly what groupings of photos we wanted was extremely helpful.

Finally comes the day of - the two of them showed up to the getting-ready locations on time and ready to go, bringing a relaxed but professional air which made it feel easy and comfortable to be photographed. It didn't feel intrusive at all to have them in our spaces as we got prepared. During the ceremony they were somehow everywhere while being very unobtrusive, it was amazing to look through the photos afterward and see all of the great captures (and wonder how they could have been in 10 places at once!).

One of the best parts - we have NEVER seen or been a part of a smoother family/group/couples photos operation right after the ceremony. With Shado shooting and Isabelle directing (she knew everyone's names, never a single 'hey you' and had a detailed shots list based on the questionnaire we had filled out in hand), it was quick and painless. Isabelle handled Maddie's distractable father starting to wander off with tact and humor, and everyone was off to cocktail hour quickly. Couples photos were similarly smooth and enjoyable, and then the two of them wandered and captured many wonderful photos of venue, dinner, and dancing.

We got our photos back in 6 weeks and were stunned! They really captured the setting, the people, and the vibe beautifully. Could not be happier with how they all came out, and as an added bonus, the photos were grouped by category (girls getting ready, guys getting ready, wedding parties, couples portraits, etc), avoiding one huge folder with thousands of photos to go through. We had a great time slowly going through one section at a time and reliving our day.

11/10 experience with these two. You'll be psyched to have them on your team--they helped to make our day easy and smooth, added to the joy, and provided us with photos that were better than we could've hoped for.
