I'M ALAN &

THIS IS MY STORY.

 

I remember roaming my family farm as a kid taking photos with my Dad. I always loved it, but I never dreamt it could become my career. Fast forward to college and I fell in love with photography even more. I started taking photos for my college and wanted to learn as much as I possibly could about photography.

​

Before my senior year, I sent my now-mentor Ryan at Route 3 Films an email asking if I could intern for him. I loved their video work and I had my sights set on making videos too. I convinced him to let me hang out with him and his team for the summer. I had a great adventure and learned so much about the art of filmmaking. It was that summer that he helped me start Shawgo Studios! I still get to work with Ryan today.

​

During my summer with Route 3 Films, I started getting asked to photograph some of my friends' weddings. I immediately fell in love with photographing people's special days. Love stories became my favorite. I love capturing special moments for people that they can cherish forever with their families. 

​

When I'm not at a wedding or with the Route 3 team, I love hanging out in nature, going to concerts, or watching some hockey - GO BLUES!
