Kind, friendly, professional photographer. Evan traveled to Taiwan to take pictures for my god son’s wedding. Evan was very accommodating and fulfilled the couples wants and needs. The pictures turned out so beautiful. So happy to have him photographed my god son’s wedding. Would recommend him to all my friends

We feel so lucky that Evan and Kristen were able to accommodate on such short notice for our mini wedding in Banff, and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Very personable, and professional. We honestly felt like it was 2 friends that were attending our ceremony that just happened to have cameras. Thank you so much!

Where to even start! I came across Sharko Studios while searching for photographers in the Banff area, loved there style and approach and got in contact with them. Evan gave perfect location ideas to choose from and wonderful insight about lighting around sunset (which was the time frame I had in mind)

He informed me that he works as a team with Kristen, and that was perfect for what I had in mind. It would make my partner feel at ease having a female presence, and myself a male presence. (We're not the photogenic type)
The photos came out perfectly! Absolutely magical! We are blown away by how they were able to capture every moment, from our love, our silliness, our moment of utter joy, it could not have been more perfect!

Congratulations, you're engaged! Now, it's time to capture the magic and excitement of this special time with an engagement session. These sessions are more than just a photo shoot. They are an opportunity for you and your photographer to get to know each other, build rapport, and set the stage for the wedding day. Let's dive into some tips on how to make the most out of your engagement session.
&nbsp;
First, let's talk about the outfits. What you wear to your engagement session can dramatically affect the look and feel of your photos. We recommend considering the location and theme of your shoot before deciding on your outfits. If you're planning an urban shoot, consider chic, modern outfits. If you're heading to the mountains or forest, casual and comfortable might be the way to go. Remember to coordinate your outfits but avoid overly matchy looks. Above all, pick outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable.
&nbsp;
Next, choosing the right location is key to capturing the essence of your relationship. Consider places that hold a special meaning for your relationship. It could be where you first met, your favourite coffee shop, or even a park where you love to take walks. If you're struggling with ideas, don't hesitate to ask your photographer for suggestions. They're likely to know some fantastic spots that provide beautiful backdrops.
&nbsp;
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: posing. It's natural to feel a little awkward in front of the camera. But don't worry, your photographer will guide you through the process. However, if you want to come prepared, practice some natural poses at home. The key is to act naturally and let your genuine emotions shine through. It's not about striking the perfect pose, but about capturing the authentic love and joy between you.
&nbsp;
Finally, remember to have fun and enjoy the process. Engagement sessions are a celebration of your love story. It's a chance to create lasting memories before you say 'I do'. So, relax, laugh a lot, and let your love for each other be the focus of the day.
&nbsp;
We hope these tips help you feel more prepared and excited for your engagement session. Remember, this is your moment, and it's all about celebrating the wonderful journey you're embarking on. So, embrace it, enjoy it, and get ready to create some beautiful memories.

"A little bit about us
Meet Your Photographers
We met decades ago and became friends through our shared love of The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and board games, but we fell in love over our passion for hiking, adventure, travel, and the outdoors.
Our happiest moments are spent together—laughing, cooking, and creating. Whether exploring wild places or working on artistic projects, we’re at our best when we’re side by side. We split our time between Canmore, Alberta and Edinburgh, Scotland."
