What is Shawn Turner’s net worth? Who is Shawn Turner’s wife?
Introduction
Shawn Turner: here’s what we know about Amber Marshall’s husband.
Canadian sweetheart Amber Marshall sure does have a lot on her plate—she runs a ranch, she stars in Canada’s longest-running drama series of all time, and she’s got a bunch of horses to take care of.
Many of her fans have wondered for years if she even has time to date. She doesn’t.
Fortunately for her, she doesn’t need to!
She’s been married to fellow horse lover, rodeo fan, and expert photographer Shawn Turner for almost a decade now.
Shawn Turner is a pro photographer with a knack for rodeo photography and high-action shots.
He knows his way around a rodeo, a ranch, and a horse—all things that helped him find his kindred spirit in the famous Canadian actress and equestrian.
While the cowboy photographer may know his way around ranch life, he’s managed to stay pretty solidly off the celebrity radar so far. Let’s unpack what we know about him.
The Origin Story
Shawn Turner was born to Ross and Barb Turner in 1987.
He and his siblings were raised in the Okotoks of Alberta, and his mom and dad carted them around to high-profile rodeo events across the US.
It was through his parents that Turner developed a love of horses.
In an interview not long after he got married, Turner explained that he’s been riding and working with horses since he was old enough to walk—something he and his wife definitely have in common.
In October 2020, Amber Marshall shared an old video of Turner when he was a kid.
The passionate youngster talks about his first time entering the rodeo on a steer, saying he “did okay for my first time, about 5 seconds maybe.”
Being on the rodeo circuit with his family also introduced Shawn to another passion: photography.
He was drawn to the high octane, blink-or-you’ll-miss-it action, the beauty of the animals he loves, and the passion of the crowd.
Working hard to capture all of that in a still moment was an adrenaline rush for Turner as he honed his skills.
After working to get accredited as a rodeo photographer, commercial photographer, and sports photographer, Shawn tried his hand in photo competitions.
He’s been successful so far.
Shawn Turner and Amber Marshall: The Early Days

When Shawn Turner met Heartland actress Amber Marshall—who plays Amy Fleming on the long running soap—it was 2010.
The pair met each other at a trade show that was run by Shawn’s parents’ rodeo company.
They hit it off straight away, talking and laughing throughout Amber’s autograph-signing stint at the show.
The pair shared a passion for horses and enough common interests to keep the conversation—and laughter—flowing.
“Shawn was helping out with the signing,” explained Marshall. “I asked him for a ride back, and then it kind of went from there.”
Amber recalled thinking at the time that Shawn seemed “really cool,” and she was eager to learn more about him. By the time the show ended, the pair were both ready to invest in relationship that was long distance.
In late 2012, Shawn popped the question after convincing Marshall to take a walk with him and the dogs up into the mountains.
At a beautiful secluded spot in Alberta, he proposed, and Amber said yes.
Turner confessed to his television star girlfriend later that he’d been thinking of proposing to her for a while—and had even flown to Ontario to ask Amber’s dad for his permission.

Shawn and Amber got married at their High River, Alberta, ranch on July 27, 2013.
Surrounded by family, friends, and her fellow cast and crew mates from Heartland, Amber was walked down the aisle by her father—on the back of her beloved bay horse, Hawk.
The couple joked in an interview with Hello magazine back in 2015 that there was never any hesitation about having the wedding at home.
“I’m a homebody and so is Shawn,” explained Marshall. “Right away [we knew] we’re having it at home!”
Shawn put his manual skills to good use for their wedding day, building an altar that would allow Amber to make a grand entrance on horseback for her big day.
The couple is yet to have children.
