I don’t even know where to start. I found Shado online, and within minutes of speaking with him, I knew I had found the photographer for my surprise proposal. He was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely reassuring that we could pull it off. For context, I was planning a surprise proposal at a venue I had never visited before (Castle in the Clouds), which is about 10 hours from where I live. I would not even see it until the day of the event. Shado and I came up with a plan, and he was so helpful he even offered to plant a few items for my (now) fiancée to find as part of the proposal. He was incredibly communicative and always responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of, we stayed in constant contact. Shado was in position and ready, but when someone was standing in our planned spot, he kept texting with me until they moved. Once the moment came, everything went perfectly. Now for the real reason you have to hire him. The photos. Every single shot, including the actual proposal picture, came out stunning. Afterward, Shado guided us through a quick photo session and captured even more incredible images. He got beautiful up-close shots and wide shots that truly captured the moment. To put the cherry on top, he sent us the edited, finished photos within just a few hours, which is amazing considering he had to drive hours to the location. Shado is the real deal. If you need someone who can handle high-pressure, once-in-a-lifetime moments and deliver unforgettable photos, look no further.

I cannot speak more highly of our experience working with Shado. From our initial call, to his responsiveness the days leading up the proposal, Shado was a total professional and very easy to work with. On the day of, he set up quickly and perfectly captured the most special day of our relationship with our surprise proposal. He was able to work on the fly and adapt with me to make sure everything he went smoothly and was able to work magic to capture the exact emotion of the moment. He read our personalities well after the proposal and took great, down to earth photos of us that were very representative of our personality. Can’t recommend him enough for whatever moment you’re trying to capture. We are already reliving the moment with his photos and will cherish them forever

I wanted a photo session in Maine while we were on vacation. Shado made the process of booking super easy. When we got to Maine, we were not familiar with the area but Shado made it easy to figure out where to go. The session went super smooth with lots of variety. And he got the finished galllery to us super quickly and the pictures came out amazing!

Shado is one of the most organized, friendly and talented photographers I know. We have hired him for multiple events, including our wedding which took place in August. Shado’s attention to detail and organization make him so easy to work with. Not only did he capture every portrait we wanted, he did so in an effective and fun manner. Outside of our photo list not a moment was missed and all captured in beautiful detail. The example album came so fast after the wedding it was crazy and we cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. You can sleep will choosing Shado of a Rose for you event!
