Magical!

We have the most magical photos from our family trip to Scotland thanks to Shem!! It was a rainy day but we made the most of it and our pictures turned out amazing!! So happy we found Strad Photgraphy!  Thanks Shem!

Karla and family

Impressive!

“Very impressed with Shem, both personally and professionally. For our wedding, we called quite a few different photographers and never really got a great deal from any of them. Shem from the start was very friendly, positive, reassuring and had great ideas. On the day he had fantastic ideas for some amazing shots, he photographed our wedding so well, the pictures are amazing. So good infant that I have spent over 6 hundred pounds on putting his pictures onto canvas prints. I can’t recommend Shem enough, he has you feeling your part of a magazine shoot rather then the traditional wedding photos. Great choice we made.”

Lucky & Michael

Flawless!

Shem at Strad Photography was amazing! My fiance and I were just on holiday in Scotland for a few days, I reached out to him via email to set up our photoshoot and right away he made us feel so comfortable. We knew we picked the right photographer for our engagement pictures prior to meeting him. Our pictures are flawless! He has a keen eye for creativity, lighting, and beauty. Our friends and family still rave about our pictures as none of us have seen anything like it before. His pictures have been used for the save the date invitations and will be used in the wedding as well. We recommend him HIGHLY and hope to work with him again when we travel for our honeymoon. I already know I need him to capture me in the wedding dress too. Thank you Shem, don’t forget there’s always a place for you and your family in Orlando, Florida!
