Everyone has a story – Shaun Scade, Photographer

Everyone has a story. This is mine.
This past weekend we were at the Exposure Photography Symposium. We met a lot of great photographers and great people. The speakers were informative and more so inspiring. We loved getting to know everyone and hearing their stories. It inspired me to tell mine so that it can be told, and as a cathartic exercise.
Why do we as photographers take pictures? Every one of us has a different story. A different catalyst that got us to where we are now. Due to recent events in my life, I feel compelled to tell my story. This story has 2 parts. The first part is about what got me here. The second is about why it matters.
As you likely know, Scade Photography is a family run Business. When I was a wee one, my dad started taking pictures of me because he wasn’t happy with the photos of us he purchased. So like many of the new photographers today, he began taking photos of his children, got good, and was asked to take pictures of others. That is the simple synopsis. The full story will be saved for another time. And I suppose one could say my story is similar, but it just started a little earlier. I shot my first roll of film when I was 2-3 years old of my little sister as a baby. My dad still has these images somewhere. They aren’t great or artistic or even in focus really. But it was a start.

While these budgets can be a great place to start, nothing is set in stone, and you have to decide what is most important for YOUR wedding. For many brides, photography is THE most important thing for their wedding. All of the details of your wedding are important, but your photos are the only permanent record of your wedding day. Here are a few tips to help ensure you have budgeted enough for your wedding photography.
- Do I need a professional? My uncle can do it for me.
