Shem Roose Wedding Photography

t our wedding weekend at a very fair price. They went out of their way to pick the best spots for photos, and were so wonderful to work with. They were very quick about getting photos back to us- and even sent us teasers as early as the day after our wedding! The finalized photos were better then I could have imagined. They edited all of the photos (so much work!) and gave us photos with multiple versions (i.e. black and white, more warmth, etc). The photos were beautiful, and they are very talented photographers. I can't recommend these two enough. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.

o whatever it took to meet our needs. What could have been such a hectic process after the ceremony, Shem/Rebecca made it so easy. They were cool and calm under pressure which made us feel that much more comfortable. We got to spend some quality time away from the party with just the four of us. In any other situation, this would have been completely awkward- but Shem/Rebecca knew what they were doing. They let us be us and it didn't even feel like we were having our photos taken. Since the wedding, our family/friends have been printing & framing photos non-stop from that day. Not to mention how many of them used their photos as their holiday cards! Needless to say, we owe a huge thank you to Shem and Rebecca. We are so happy we partnered with them as it was totally worth it. They captured a lifetime of memories for us, perfectly.

ook a wedding photographer, he was the only person I contacted (and luckily, he was available for our date). Shem and Rebecca brought such a wonderful energy to the day - from the moment they arrived, they were just a positive, fun, and calm presence, and their willingness to go with the flow and have fun immediately put us at ease. They struck a great balance between portraits and "must-have" pictures from my list and candid, in the moment shots, many of which turned out to be my favorites of the day. They have an incredible knack for knowing when to be present and directive, and when to fade into the background and simply capture things as they unfold. I was always aware of their presence, but they were never obtrusive, and it felt like all the pictures were organic and authentically "us" - which is exactly what I was hoping for. Post-wedding, I got some sneak peeks within a few days, and had the full library of 1300+ edited shots within two weeks - which is SO nice, especially given that I have friends who've waited months to see theirs. And we own all the rights, which is great! The pictures themselves are, in a word, perfect. Shem and Rebecca captured every single special moment and then some and the pictures are absolutely stunning. They truly exceeded my expectations in every way and I could not be happier with the results. I truly think that of all the vendor-related decisions we made, hiring Shem and Rebecca to document our wedding was the best one. They really played an enormous role in making the day feel so special, and we will be treasuring their beautiful work for the rest of our lives. If you're planning a wedding, book them ASAP - you will be happy you did!

helped us get shots that took full advantage of the venue. On top of it all, their presence was both soothing and enlivening for us and our guests; every time they took a photo it felt natural and we knew it was something we'd want to look back on.

ccess to all photos taken. Him and his wife are so talented. Our wedding photos came out perfect. He captured our day exactly as we want to remember it for the rest of our lives.

ll the shots we wanted without being in the way. I would highly recommend them!

r outdoor engagement photo shoot, Shem thought of creative poses for us that felt very natural -- some playful, some romantic -- and incorporated a lot of the beautiful scenery that surrounded us. We were at ease in front of the camera, thanks to Shem's calm demeanor and Rebecca's enthusiasm and encouragement. On our wedding day, Shem captured each moment so beautifully. While he got every photo we asked for, we were also open to his creative ideas and suggestions, and it helped that our venue had so many great spots for photo ops! We would absolutely recommend Shem to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding, engagement, family portraits, or any other special occasion.

f humor - they made us feel so at ease and it was a pleasure to have them as part of our big day. The photos were absolutely beautiful! I literally had six friends ask for his number when they saw my photos on Facebook, because the pics were so unique and gorgeous. He shot all the special details, captured so many fun candids with our family and friends, and did an outstanding job with the posed portraits and capturing the ceremony (he got all the important shots but was never intrusive). Shem is so nice to work with and the photos were perfect - if only everything about wedding planning could be so simple!!

d his creativeness, and we could not be happier. Our pictures were beyond anything I could have imagined. Our friends and family rave about them, and the way he captured the beautiful day. It was like out of a movie, or a magazine... Like I said, the photos were more beautiful than we could have every hoped. We are so grateful for Shem and Rebecca, and how they captured our day. I would recommend Shem Roose 100 times over.
