Shagari Gerard Photography

AWARD WINNING
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

“I DRAW MY INSPIRATION & CREATIVITY FROM everything around me, whether it’s art architecture, fashion, or my clients themselves.”

I’ve put a lot of heart, hard work and energy into photography. It’s challenging and there is always something new to be learned. It’s enabled me to travel the world doing something I love while meeting great people along the way. It’s truly invigorating to create art daily.

I also teach basic photography & lighting skills to anyone wanting to learn. I’m a licensed REALTOR®so I love anything to do with homes, home design, renovations and investment. I love traveling, skateboarding, snowboarding, scuba diving, exercising and pretty much any outdoor and active type of sport. I love suits, classic muscle cars, vinyl records and dressing up a Jordan 1.(It’s such a timeless & versatile shoe profile)

Family-oriented

I come from a huge family and I myself am a father of amazing boys. They are great students that happen to be excellent athletes as well. Having these little guys look up to me has always pushed me to do my best. I strive to be a great example of a man and live how I would want them to live. I am also fiance’ to an amazing woman that I get to marry this March. I am looking forward to being on the other side of love that I capture for my clients each and every day.

telling your story through unforgettable imagery

I document once in a lifetime moments of when two become one. I capture the originality and essence of your love through artistic and timeless images. I value the things that make each individual unique and then help curate your story, inspired by all things classic. I help tell the stories of your brand through portraiture tailored to your specific needs

film or digital?Why?

Right now I would have to say both, although film has the edge in my heart. I just rediscovered my love for the process of film and how diligent it forces me to be. Film is making me a better creative. I have to slow down and truly curate the story before I press the shutter. It’s hard to duplicate the ethereal feeling of an authentic film photograph. Sometimes certain settings call for digital photography and I am lucky enough to be well versed in both. Some people want timeless and some want modern & bold.
