Engagement & proposals
GALLERY
This is more than a photo session—it’s a monumental chapter of your story. Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or celebrating your engagement, we’re here to capture the quiet nerves, the big yes, and the joy that follows. At Shado of a Rose, we focus on connection—so every photo feels like you. This is just the beginning, and we’re honored to walk the journey with you.
“Shado helped capture a surprise engagement for my fiancé and I, and cannot recommend him enough. He was so helpful with planning the all of the details, and I could tell that he really wanted to make the day special. The pictures came out amazing, and I am so happy with the entire service that he provided. Will definitely be using him for our wedding photos!”

They made our engagement and elopement photos so fun and stress-free. They were really open to collaborating on ideas that were special to us, while using their expertise to help guide us through the experience. Both sessions were some of the most fun we've ever had, and we couldn't recommend them more!

They have a knack for capturing special moments and displaying them perfectly. Thank you for listening to each of our hopes, wishes, wants, and dreams for both our engagement shoot and wedding day.
