Hey there! I’m Dan Stroud, the guy behind "Three Shades Photography." With 34 years under my belt and five awesome kids keeping me on my toes, I’ve learned to cherish life’s wild and wonderful moments. Your wedding day is one of those moments—a big, beautiful celebration of love that deserves to be captured in all its glory. And I’m here to do just that, with a whole lot of energy and a focus on fun!

My Vision

When it comes to wedding photography, I’m all about capturing the joy, the laughter, and the pure excitement of your big day. Every couple has a story, and I’m here to tell it in the most vibrant, lively way possible. Whether it’s the crazy dance moves on the dance floor or the quiet, intimate moments between you and your partner, I want your photos to be as dynamic and full of life as you are. My mission is to create a collection of images that feel like a party you never want to leave!

The Experience I Offer

Working with "Three Shades Photography" means you’re in for a good time. I’m not just your photographer—I’m your biggest cheerleader, your hype man, and the guy making sure that every moment is captured with a smile. We’ll start by getting to know each other, maybe over a drink or two, where you can tell me all about your plans and what you’re most excited about. I’m all ears!

On your wedding day, I’m there to keep the energy high and the mood light. Need someone to crack a joke to get those natural smiles? I’m your guy. Want to try something a little out-of-the-box? Let’s do it! My goal is to make sure you and your guests are having an absolute blast while I capture it all.

My Photography Style

My style is all about capturing the fun, the emotions, and the unexpected moments that make your wedding day unique. I love a mix of candid shots and posed photos that feel anything but stiff. I’m always on the lookout for those genuine, spontaneous moments—the laughter, the happy tears, the crazy dance-offs—that make your wedding feel like the best party ever.

Natural light is my best friend, and I use it to bring out the vibrancy and warmth in every shot. Whether it’s the golden light of sunset or the soft glow of the reception, I’ll make sure your photos are as lively and beautiful as your wedding day.

My Commitment to You

When you choose me as your wedding photographer, you’re getting someone who’s as pumped about your wedding as you are. I’m here to make sure your day is as fun, carefree, and memorable as possible. I’m all about bringing good vibes and making sure your photos reflect the joy and love you’re celebrating.

After the wedding, I’ll dive into editing your photos to highlight the best, most vibrant moments of your day. My aim is to give you a collection of images that you can look back on and feel like you’re right there, partying all over again.

Beyond the Wedding

The fun doesn’t stop after the wedding! I’m here to capture all the big and small moments in your life—whether it’s a wild anniversary celebration, a family reunion, or just a random, awesome day. I’m all about building lasting relationships with my clients so that I can be there to document all the fun, love, and craziness life has to offer.
