Shado of a Rose Photography

do of a Rose Photography. From the moment we had our first consultation six months before the wedding date, Isa and Shado made us feel comfortable and at ease, and seamlessly integrated into our event to capture every precious moment. We did not feel like we were being observed or that the event was being chronicled. Instead, we felt that the two of them had an innate ability to blend into event to capture those moments that can't be manufactured. Not only were the final photos themselves absolutely stunning, but they truly captured the essence of our wedding day and will be mementos that will last a lifetime. Every time we see the pictures, we are transported back to that magical day and are are grateful to Isa and Shao for the care they put into capturing our wedding weekend events so beautifully. In terms of service, from start to finish, both Isa and Shado were an absolute pleasure to work with - professional, friendly, and always going above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with the end result. Even after they delivered a beautiful online archive ahead of deadline, we asked them to include bloopers and they delivered! We would recommend Shado of a Rose Photography to anyone looking for an amazing photography team that truly captures the essence of their event and creates photos that will be treasured for a lifetime. Thank you so much, Isa and Shado - we are forever for your amazing work!

ally amazing photos. We were excited about candids in particular- not really being as into stiff portraits. We truly could not be more thrilled with our choice of Isa & Shado. We have received so many comments from family and friends that they are the best wedding photos they’ve seen. They captured everything so beautifully, from our First Look on the rocky beach, to sparkler fun with our family at the end of the night, and everything in-between. We got amazing sneak peeks the next day, and I’m still impressed with how quickly we got the rest of our photos. They listened to what we wanted, referred to the shot list I provided (though we were strapped for time as weddings always seem to be), and split their time between 2 locations at no extra charge (our ceremony was at Two Lights state park while our reception was at Oxbow Brewing in downtown Portland). They made us (and our guests) comfortable the whole time. The photos they captured of our dog are our absolute favorites and they really understood how important it was for us to get her in a bunch. All the details we worked so hard on and asked them to capture- the food, signs, cake, decor- all turned out so great. We are still so happy we chose Shado of a Rose Photography, and we’re sure you will be too! Thank you, Isa & Shado!

I met her. I am self-conscious about my weight and was concerned that I wouldn’t love all of the pictures, but they were all wonderful. Isabelle managed to capture all of the joyous moments of the day and made it look so easy! My husband and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to preserve their wedding memories for ever and always.

ry moment was captured from the engagement shoot to the big day. They are incredibly professional, personable and their charm helped make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We've received endless compliments from our family and friends about the quality of photos, as well as their warm presence at the wedding. We truly could not speak more highly of Shado and Isa. If you are looking for a couple that will truly capture your special day, look no further than Shado of the Rose!

d half the pictures I did without her. The lighting in our venue was dark, so most of my guest's iphone photos came out horrible - it was perfect and imperative that we had Isa's professional camera and skills there! She made our night stress free as she was able to capture all the special moments with our friends and family. Isa - you will forever be a bright spot in our unforgettable wedding weekend.

d connectedness, Isabelle and Shado captured the most breathtaking photos. My friend was sooo impressed that she be using Isabelle and Shado for her daughters wedding next year in VT.

endly, punctual, and professional and listened to every want, suggestion, or idea we had with excitement. On our wedding day they just felt like an extra set of friends, capturing all of our special moments and list of requests as well as not making us feel like we had cameras on us. I would highly recommend working with them for your special day!

ing photos! Would definitely recommend them and would use them again!

ly to do it. They're a seamless team. Not one photo has the other partner in the shot. They are so comfortable to be around. They notice every detail. They sent me the teasers so quick. How incredible to know them to have been able to book them. I honestly would have moved my wedding date to get them.

Shado and Isabelle captured the spirit of the day exactly the way we had all hoped - fun and family and love in a beautiful setting made even more beautiful by the way they photographed everything! All of our guests remarked about how great the photographers were to work with and how much fun they were. They got every shot and were creative but never "invasive". They let the day happen and were there to document and enhance the wedding day. We love looking at the pictures. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat! Just phenomenal in every way! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

calming presence helped to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. We hired Isabelle and Shado to shoot our engagement photos in NYC and attend and photograph our “night before” event and wedding day in the Catskills. In each case, we received a surprise sneak peek sampling of photos within a couple of days. Less than a month later, we received an organized and generously full album of edited images, each more beautiful than the next. Isabelle and Shado are true artists who have mastered the ability to capture the most joyous and genuine emotions. In the months leading up to our engagement shoot and wedding, we spoke with Isabelle and Shado several times. They encouraged us to share shot lists, sample pictures, etc. and were incredibly receptive to our requests. My husband does not love taking pictures, and I shared with them that we didn’t want anything too staged or inorganic, as that’s not our style. They thoroughly understood, gave us gentle guidance, posed us in ways where we looked like the best and most natural version of ourselves, and captured tons of candids, which was very important to us. My husband and I have HUGE smiles in every picture! We loved our engagement photos so much that we used them to create our wedding guestbook - this was a huge hit! On our wedding day, between the staged group photos with friends and family, and the candids throughout, Isabelle and Shado captured everyone’s hearts. They handled every single interaction with grace, endless patience, good humor, and, of course, exquisite skill. We’ve thanked them both multiple times but honestly can’t describe how perfectly they captured our love and celebration. We still have NO idea how we will pick our pictures for our wedding album, as we’re in love with every single one!

should not hesitate to higher them for your wedding!

appier with the results! Plus they are the sweetest. 1000% would recommend Isa and Shado to everyone and hope to work with them again 😊

eping on our timeline. And of course, their work is simply spectacular! Our engagement shoot photos came out wonderful and the wedding photos that we've seen so far are just gorgeous! We are so happy that we got to work with the two of them.

included an engagement shoot in their package. During our wedding shoot, they captured all the important moments and people. We cannot say enough wonderful things about these two for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. BONUS: Isa has an incredible voice and she sang with our wedding band at our reception!

nd they had a great handle on what we were expecting. We look forward to using them in the future!

e about their work. They know just the right angles and just the right positioning in photography as well as perfect timing of the right light needed in photos making it outstanding experience. We had endless guests (family and friends) compliment their fine work and how personable they both are. Shado of a Rose Photography is the best photographers to work with to capture your special day or event. I strongly recommend them.

reat person to work with, and got us our photos in under 24 hours! Truly unbelievable service worth every bit! Thanks Shado!

t taking photos in different locations. Every photo came out amazing and I am so glad she was able to capture our special day so well. Highly recommend!

made my wife and I feel super comfortable leading up to our wedding day. As for the day itself, MAGICAL! We did a small, intimate gathering but these photos feel so BIG with character and love! Isa swooped-in and efficiently took control - making sure to include everyone while also re-posing everyone so each photo came out uniquely special. Her skill's are top-notch, for sure, but it's truly Isa's bubbly, engaging and fun personality that took it from being a great experience to truly the best photographing experience we have ever had - and we tend to do quite a bit of photoshoots! Thank you, Isa, and we're so excited to work with you again in the near future.

us at our venue to check it out to make sure they were prepared for the day. All my wedding guests loved them and felt so comfortable around them. Even after my wedding, people are still telling me how much they loved them and they brought great energy to our wedding. I am so happy to have meet them and will certainly be using them for any and all my photography needs. They were also punctual with getting me the wedding photo’s, the pictures were better then expected. Stunning !!!

hey exceeded my wildest expectations and felt like part of the family. They were very organized and kept a close eye on the time and made sure all the events went on schedule which was extremely helpful as we did not have a wedding planner. They were punctional, flexible and worked great together which really paid off in the final photos. It is very cool having 2 photographers as I had multiple angles of the same event in the photo collection. All our guests absolutely loved them and they really completed the day. They are both very real, down to earth people and the photo collection came out absolutely gorgeous! They have a real skill of capturing the heartfelt moments as well as the goofy and fun ones.

made us feel comfortable in front of the camera even if we were awkward :) During the wedding she was wonderful with the children! Afterwards, our whole family had raving reviews of Isa. The photos were beautiful and perfectly captured the moments of our special day. We would 100% recommend her & her partner Shado to others!

uld describe the different backgrounds at the site. Day of the wedding she was a pleasure for all guests and the wedding party as she helped us get memorable photos of all the stages of the day. After the wedding she provided near immediate “sneak peek” photos and just a few weeks later got all the photos to us. Isa was a pleasure to work and we can’t recommend her enough!

creativity used. Such a blessing, would definitely recommend.
