Shane Macomber Photography

l moments in a way that looks so beautiful. I was stunned by his photos on instagram. After meeting him I am not surprised that he does such a great job. He has a relaxed personality that makes you feel comfortable even when you are trying to pose for a picture. My husband hates having his photo taken, but by the end of our engagement shoot with Shane he was so excited to see the results. We were beyond pleased with the engagement photos. We have seen 2 photos from the wedding so far (it was only 2 days ago) and both blew us away. Our guests even commented how Shane and Drew (the second photographer he brought in who also had a great personality) were literally non-stop moving the whole night and how they had a great ability of being there at exactly the right moments to get something good. If you are getting married in Vail and want someone who can really capture the true moments of your wedding Shane is your man!!!

comfortable with and didn't have a portoflio of cheesy (or super artsy) photos. We wanted somebody who could "capture the moment" and find a way to get natural, non-posed photos. When we stumbled across Shane, we decided we would give him a test run with an engagement session. That was everything we needed to know we had found the right guy for the job. Honestly, I could probably write an essay on everything that Shane did right at the wedding. But here are a few things that I think made him stand out over OTHER photographers. 1. He was like a ghost when you wanted him to be but he was right there when the moment was right. During the ceremony we didn't even notice him (be it walking down the aisle, or standing at the "altar"). But, somehow we ended up with spectacular photos. Being able to "blend" into the crowd without ruining other peoples experience of the wedding was a huge plus in my book 2. He was able to make movement feel natural and un-posed. There were no "Say cheese" moments or "smile for the camera". It is so easy to get comfortable around him being there taking photos. 3. I really think that when we hired Shane we got more than a photographer. He was involved in almost every step of the process from the beginning. We didn't hire a wedding planner or another outside vendor for our wedding. Shane helped us with our day-of timeline and gave us a good gauge for what is "typical" for lengths of time. He quasi-served as a barrier between us and our venue when things got a little heated. He also helped coordinate some timing on our ceremony. All in all, I don't think any photographer would hold that as "standard" but Shane was able to do that for us nonetheless. 4. We had guests coming up to us during and after our wedding saying (of all things) how much they liked our photographer. Evidently (we missed all of this in the chaos that is a wedding) whenever Shane saw someone taking their own photos, he was somehow there to offer to take photos for them. Literally every person that attended our wedding is represented in AT LEAST one photo in our album alone. I can only imagine what was captured on others phones/cameras/etc by Shane alone. Without even speaking to the quality of his photos (which were spectacular by the way), we could not have asked for a better photographer. As one last note for anyone searching for a Wedding Photographer, I highly advise you to take a deep look at what is included in your photographers service! I've heard horror stories from people who went for the "more budget-friendly" photographer and then had to pay SO MUCH MORE on top of that to get rights to your photos and on top of that they only send you ~75 finished photos... For anyone seriously considering Shane as your photographer, EVERYTHING was included (at least for us!). There were hundreds upon hundreds of photos, all that we had the rights to. On top of that, if there were photos we really liked, Shane offered to give us those pictures in whatever size we needed or change filters if we wanted! Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Shane and could not recommend him more highly

, laughter, family and fun of our entire day. Shane delivered in a HUGE way! I loved working with him. On the day of it was amazing to me how he moved around and caught everything and yet in a way I never even knew he was there. He is a joy to work with, he is talented, kind and thoughtful. I recommend him all the time, to this day (and I got married 9 years ago!)
