Shane showed awesome skills and patience while photographing our 11 mth old! He had local knowledge on where best to shoot and the photos turned out amazing! So happy to have these shots to look back on in the future and will look great on our wall! Highly recommend Shane Chalker Photography!

Shane did my wedding photos and they’re just absolutely amazing. Shane and Rhonda worked with us and didn’t complain about any last minute changes that were made due to Covid. We absolutely love our photos and would recommend Shane to anyone.

Theres not a bad thing to say about Shane Chalker. From the moment we contacted Rhonda to book our surprise wedding, to the finished product afterward was more than we could ever hope for. The amount of professionalism that Shane and his team displays, his knowledge of the local area and what looks best was remarkable. Throughout the whole day Shane was respectful of our space but still able to get some magnificent shots of all our guests. At times we even forgot he was in the room. From first meeting Shane he went above and beyond to accommodate us. We will definitely be choosing Shane Chalker

Shane was great. He was in the background and relaxed everyone. Nothing was too much trouble for him on our day.
