Included in Your Wedding Package

  • IIt’s your Wedding Day! You’ve waited months or even a year and it’s finally here. We will text you earlier that day to say hello and give you a heads up that we are on our way.

    We often arrive 15-20 minutes before our agreed upon start time to get the lay of the land. We make sure to connect with you both once we arrive.

    Typically our team either arranges a first look or splits up and photographs our respective partners pre-wedding preparation/jitters. We take this opportunity to capture details, arrangements being made, guests arriving, or portraits of family and friends with each respective partner. We utilize our time to the best of our ability to capture the energy of the day. We ask that you prepare a photo list of groups you want photographed together and a timeline of your day. This helps to guide us as your day progresses and ensures we capture all the finer details you have in mind.

    Most importantly, we all gather to capture the ceremony. You’ll see us grinning from ear-to-ear as you head down the aisle. Soak in the moment and we will be there to capture every second. When you get back down the aisle as a married couple, we suggest continuing to a private spot. Take a minute as newlyweds and embrace these first few minutes of marriage.

    Lastly, our family portrait and newlywed sessions will be done at your pace. Our timeframe will depend on your preferences, like how many photos you want captured or how in-depth you’d like the couples session to be. We can decide prior to the day or day-of how quickly we want to take pictures. It’s your cocktail hour so let us know how much of it you want to attend! We will provide your with our most efficient work and take your lead.

    The most important aspect to know about us is that we join in the fun. We believe the experience is as important as the final product. You’ll see us on the dance floor, in the action, and pumped up during your reception. We bring joy and enthusiasm from start to finish.

  • Our goal is to stay in regular communication. The most effective way to do that is Instagram and Facebook. Please follow and friend us!  

    We make sure to speak on the phone when we make introductions; a vibe check if you will! Ideally there’s chemistry between the four of us and we feel connected enough to move forward with a contract.

    Once we are booked, we set up an engagement session, hopefully for your most ideal season. After that session, we connect 2 weeks to 1 month prior to the wedding day.

    We will review your ideal portrait groups and timeline for the day. We can confirm your first look, getting ready locations, ceremony details, and any special ideas you two might have!

  • We never want to make our couples wait to see the magic from their wedding day. Within 48 to 72 hours, we deliver 30 to 60 of the best images of your day.

  • We know how much you’ll be itching to get your photos, and we don’t blame you. We work effectively and efficiently to get you an exquisite gallery. You’ll only have to wait 4-8 weeks depending on your choice in package!

  • We want to make this as convenient as possible for you. That is why we don’t nickel and dime the gallery process. What you pay upfront is your bottom line, so our galleries dont come with any extra costs. We love that our clients can easily and quickly share their photos with everyone from their special day.

    We deliver your gallery in a website link that comes with a download pin. We encourage all our clients to send this out to everyone from the wedding to make sure everyone gets to relive all the incredible moments. If you would like to see examples of full galleries just ask and we will send them along!

    We leave our galleries on our pixieset for one year and then they will leave the site. Please take measures to download the photos you want before that time. If you’d like to add a flash drive of the images to your package please let us know.

  • Our goal is to always be available to you! We like to consider ourselves not just photographers but a resource for you along this journey. We understand how complex and involved planning your wedding day is and our experience has made us jacks of all trades. We know a little about every part of the process so feel free to ask us questions or share the little victories. We’re here to build a relationship not just fill a need.

FAQs

What should clients know about your pricing?

We are flexible! We start the conversation with a base quote and we encourage a discussion so we can land on a price that best fits your needs and budget.

What is your typical process for working with a new client?

Once we're alerted of your interest, a responsive and thorough effort is made to figure out your needs and how we can best suit your vision. Getting a vibe check on the phone is a great place to begin. Please use the following forms of communication to get in touch.

EMAIL: ShadoOfaRose@gmail.com

PHONE: (603) 767-7712

FB/Insta HANDLE: @ShadoOfaRose

Once we connect, we’ll agree on a DATE, LOCATION, and PRICE, and you'll receive a contract to sign. After our experience together, you'll receive a digital edited gallery available to download, publish, and share at your leisure.

How did you get started doing this type of work? What experience do you have?

Shado started out as an aspiring travel and concert photographer working in very low-light scenarios. Through what started as a hobby, he developed strong candid skills at those shows. In April 2020, photography became his full-time passion and career with Shado of a Rose Photography; he has been thriving in the wedding and event scene and mastering his posing work. Many people can take adequate photos, but it's the experts that can mold and shape a perfect moment! Leave it to Shado and his team—we will do a fantastic job.

What types of clients have you worked with?

We work with a diverse group of people with a variety of needs. We don't like to pigeonhole ourselves. Variation and surprise are two things we crave in our work. We welcome all opportunities, which helps to push us outside our comfort zones.

What advice would you give a client looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure you vibe with your photographer! Give them a call, chit chat, and make sure they’re someone you'd enjoy working with. You'll be spending a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day, and you’ll get the best out of your shots when your personalities complement each other. If you can’t imagine sharing your day with them, we recommend hiring someone you jive better with!

The second piece of advice is to ask to see a full gallery! This will help you get a better understanding of what exactly they will be delivering to you. Every photographer see the day differently so once you see the final product you'll know not just what kind of photos they add to their website but what the full scope of their eye is.

How long before a wedding should you get a photographer?

Look at wedding photographers while you tour venues, then book your choice as soon as you secure your date and location. Couples typically book 6-18 months out—and even further out if they’re getting married during peak wedding season.

Do photographers stay the whole wedding?

That depends on the coverage you want. We offer packages based on a set number of hours, so select the one that works best for you. Hint: if you’re looking for coverage from pre-ceremony to departure, plan on an 8-hour package.

How long is reasonable to wait for wedding photos?

Having photographed over 100 weddings, we know you can’t wait to see and share your images. Within 48-72 hours, we deliver 30-60 of the best moments of your wedding day. Your full gallery is ready to preview in four weeks and available for download for an entire year.
