About Shacoworkshop Photography

Our Story

Founded in 2014, Shacoworkshop Photography began with a simple mission: to capture the beauty, emotion, and authenticity of life's most important moments.

What started as a passion project in a small Southampton studio has grown into one of Hampshire's most trusted photography services. We've had the privilege of documenting over 1,000 weddings, countless family milestones, and numerous corporate events across the region.

Our success comes from our commitment to excellence, our genuine care for our clients, and our deep understanding of what makes each moment special. We don't just take photos; we tell stories, preserve memories, and create art that will be treasured for generations.
