These two are the most fantastic wedding photographers you will hire. Full stop. It's difficult to overstate the impact that Shaina and Arturo had on our entire wedding experience, including now as we are looking back on our magical day.
We met this duo at our best friends' wedding a few years ago, and it was so much great getting to see them in action for a wedding that wasn't ours - a true 'from the outside looking in' perspective. The photos from that wedding were exactly what we were looking for: vibrant, airy, and capturing the beauty of the day perfectly. We were essentially sold that they had to be our wedding photographers, so we booked them for our wedding soon after.
The entire process wasn't just easy, it was fun. They bring such a passion for their work and for the couples they work with. It's not just a business for them: it's personal. Our engagement shoot was a total blast, which is a feat since we are somewhat camera shy. They found the coolest angles, the best poses, and generally made us feel so good. In planning for our wedding day, they were able to ground us in really critical details around the flow of the day, timing, and exactly what we needed to think through based on what we wanted. To say Shaina was our pseudo day-of planner would be underselling it. Throughout our wedding day, they kept us grounded and served as a breath of fresh air from the fun (and stress) of having every important person staring at you. They were incredibly flexible, even allowing us to extend an extra hour in the middle of the wedding. They knew that we would need it to capture the photos we wanted, and we appreciate them so much for that. We received our wedding album in record time - literally within a month or so. These moments they captured are truly beautiful, bottling the essence and emotions of the day so perfectly. They are so good, we were selected to participate in a really cool series from TheKnot.
At the end of the day, our biggest recommendation would be to hire photographers that you jive with, who are passionate about photos and people, and who will make your day less stressful and more fun. Shaina and Arturo exceeded all expectations on those key criteria. There's a reason they are completely booked each wedding season, and it is because they go above and beyond. If we could do it all over again 100 times, we'd pick them 100 times. We have nothing but respect, appreciation, and admiration for these two. They captured our precious wedding day in photographs, in memories, and in our hearts.
I cannot say enough about how incredible Shaina and Arturo are. They are a husband/wife duo who are so friendly and personable. We clicked with them right away and had a great time with them at our engagement shoot. They were nothing but amazing on our actual wedding day. Our photos are stunning and I’ve received tons of compliments on them whenever I share them. We got our sneak peek photos insanely quickly and the full album not long after. Highly recommend them!
Shaina and Arturo were an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband and I are not always comfortable in front of the camera, but they somehow had us feeling like models on our wedding day! Not only are they extremely talented, so fun to be around, but they were able to wrangle my 12 bridesmaids and our large families to have all of our photos done on time! We were able to enjoy our cocktail hour! We could not be more thrilled with our photos, and cannot wait to use them for future family portraits! DON'T HESITATE AND BOOK THEM!!!!
P.S. they took my most treasured photo of my dog, and I will cherish it for the rest of my life
Shaina & Arturo are the absolute best and offered top notch service and personalization throughout our wedding planning. They were not only professional but absolute joys to work with-I felt like I was collaborating with friends. The pictures for our engagement session and the ones of our wedding day are simply gorgeous and I look at them daily with the fondest of memories. They were as an incredible pair and are there when you need them but faded into the background to capture some incredible candids. I almost wish I was getting married all over again for the chance to work with the two of them. It was a true pleasure.
Shaina and Arturo are literally magic. The photos they took are absolutely stunning! Between their use of color and their ability to catch real moments, we will cherish these photos forever. Weddings go by so quickly, so to have pictures this beautiful really means the world. I cannot say enough great things about the pictures they took. I also want to mention how Shaina and Arturo are incredibly kind and calming. They made our entire extended family feel comfortable. You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographer so it meant so much to be with such wonderful people. If you are considering Shaina and Arturo book them immediately!
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Shaina Lee Photography! In addition to being incredibly a talented photography team, these two are simply the best people! From our first phone call, my husband and I loved Shaina and Arturo, and felt an instant connection to them. Their laid-back, positive personalities combined with their upmost professionalism and organization made them the perfect photography team for us. We were very nervous to pose in front of the camera, but Arturo and Shaina eased our concerns and made us feel completely comfortable during our engagement photoshoot. Nothing felt staged or forced, and the photos looked beautiful and natural. We were surprised at how much fun we had and this got us so excited to see them again at our wedding. On our wedding day, Shaina and Arturo were champs, capturing every beautiful moment and emotion of our day outside in the heat and humidity. When rain pushed back our ceremony schedule, they were nothing but flexible and calm, easing our concerns by telling us about the rain on their wedding day. We can’t imagine having two kinder, more fun people to share our wedding day with. They captured the love and joy we felt on this day so perfectly in all of their photographs - I have no idea how we will ever choose photos to display (their turnaround time was crazy impressive by the way!) Our wedding party and guests were so impressed and could not say enough kind things about them. We HIGHLY recommend Shaina and Arturo to everyone!
My husband and I picked Shaina and Arturo on the recommendation of my cousin. She was right! From the engagement sessions to our (very rainy) wedding day, Shaina and Arturo helped us stay organized, keep laughing, and generally have a great time! I'm thrilled with our photos (especially the black and whites) and the overall experience, from booking with them all the way through album revisions. We used multiple vendors recommended by Shaina (all excellent). We can't say enough positive things about them, and would 10000% hire again
Shaina and Arturo are such kind people and we’d loved having them with us on our wedding day. They are both really calm and fun to be around, making everyone comfortable in front of the camera. They captured so many special moments during our wedding and we’re so excited to share our photos with our family and friends.
Shaina and Arturo were such wonderful individuals to work with on our wedding day. My husband and I decided to have our ceremony at city hall with only our immediate family, and despite our quiet and small event, Shaina and Arturo still poured their incredible sense of thoroughness, attention to detail, and passion into their work. Our planning process was also made incredibly simple because of how knowledgeable and organized Shaina is. We had multiple FaceTime calls and emails to ensure all details were taken care of. She also drafted us a wedding day timeline that kept our day running smooth. Also, she is an endless pit of helpful resources. My florist, officiant, and wedding cake vendor were all her recommendations, and all delivered phenomenal services.
I cannot say enough lovely things about Shaina and Arturo. They are both so easy to get along with and we felt instantly comfortable with their direction. Not to mention-- their photography is absolutely stunning. They make MAGIC happen.
Fun little fact-- we actually chose our wedding day based on Shaina and Arturo's availability!
10 out of 10: We absolutely recommend!
I HIGHLY recommend Shaina Lee Photography. After our initial call with Shaina, my husband and I looked at each other and knew Shaina would be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. After reviewing her work and meeting with her, it was evident that she is incredibly talented, kind, organized, and professional. Our engagement shoot solidified our confidence in Shaina and her husband Arturo. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is not an easy task! Throughout the wedding planning process, I knew I could count on Shaina to guide me. She provided INCREDIBLE vendor recommendations and answered all our questions promptly. Leading up to our wedding day, Shaina met with us to review all our final details and provided us with an organized timeline. On our wedding day, Shaina and Arturo continued to impress us. They managed to organize our very large wedding party and family (again, not an easy task). We received multiple comments from our family and friends praising Shaina and Arturo. While we were on our honeymoon, we received some sneak peeks from Shaina and we were speechless - her work is absolutely stunning! When we received our full album, we could not stop smiling. Shaina and Arturo captured our day perfectly. There really aren't enough words to express how highly we recommend Shaina Lee Photography. Shaina and Arturo were a huge part of our wedding day and we are so grateful for them.
Shaina Lee Photography is amazing! We knew as soon as we ended our initial call, that we were going to hire Shaina and Arturo. They are incredibly organized, attentive, and most of all, talented! They really put our mind at ease at the engagement shoot and then on our wedding day. Our wedding party could not say enough wonderful things about them and they were a huge part of why our wedding went so smoothly. They are consummate professionals. As we await the rest of our wedding photos, we are loving the sneak peaks!!! (that Shaina sent within 2 days of our wedding by the way). She captures the joy we felt on our wedding day and I am so happy with our decision to use Shaina Lee Photography.
I cannot say enough about Shaina Lee Photography!!! Shaina and Arturo were nothing but the best and I truly couldn't imagine hiring anyone else for our wedding day.
From the beginning we loved their "style". We loved the light and airy pictures on their instagram and the more we saw the more we knew we needed to hire Shaina and Arturo. Our engagement shoot went so smooth, we felt comfortable and honestly super confident coming from two people who didn't love their pictures taken.
Now, the wedding day...Shaina & Arturo were nothing but the BEST. They followed a timeline knowing exactly what needed to be done and when, Shaina fixed my veil when it flew off my head, she also taught us how to cut our wedding cake!! She was literally not only there taking pictures but also helped us through the entire day. Arturo was also amazing and assisting with everything possible. The two of them were extremely efficient and were up for anything! We even hopped on a yacht to get some shots!
Our sneak peaks were so amazing we cannot wait to see the album of pictures when they are done. If you need a wedding photographer do not hesitate to hire Shaina Lee Photography!! Highly highly recommend!!
I have no words, other than "HIRE SHAINA IMMEDIATELY"!!!!!
My husband and I agreed that photos were one of the most important things to us on our wedding day. Once I followed Shaina on Instagram, we decided we REALLY liked her work. After the most painless vendor call ever, we realized that we wanted to be best friends with Shaina and Arturo and hired them on the spot.
Shaina is a true professional through and through. As a Type A bride, she made all of my dreams come true! We thoroughly appreciated her communication and advice leading up to the wedding, and also her preparedness and patience on the wedding day. We had A LOT of photos on our shot list and Shaina delivered. Between corralling rowdy bridal party members and organizing family photos with 30+ people, she maintained our schedule with a smile on her face. My family and I were floored because she was able to get a photo where everyone was looking. So special!!! Shaina and Arturo were everywhere, yet nowhere on the big day. Every fear/hesitation my husband and I had of being documented so closely was completely squashed when the wedding arrived. They captured the pure emotions of not only my husband and I, but also our family and friends and we are eternally grateful.
Now onto photo delivery...Shaina had an absolutely amazing blog post up 4 days after our wedding. FOUR DAYS!!!! Less than 3 weeks later, the full gallery was delivered. I can't tell you how many times I thought to myself "Ugh I wish I had Shaina take a picture of _____. And then when I opened the album, BOOM there it was. The pure quality of every single photo we saw was just *perfection*. I am also SO appreciative of all the detail shots they took of the reception space and of the venue grounds. We really didn't get a chance to take all of the details in on the big day and it was absolutely amazing to see all of our planning and design choices come to life. I have a thing for old doors and Shaina went and took photos around our venue because my husband told her how much I love them.
Shaina and Arturo: You went the distance and are forever one of the most memorable parts of our wedding day. We adore you and look forward to the next time we get to work together!
I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Shaina! Not only was she so sweet, but she was on top of all of the prep work before the wedding day. It helped make the day go off without a hitch and kept us ahead of schedule. Shaina has worked at our venue many times and had great suggestions on places to photograph. It rained on our wedding day but the weather cleared out for long enough for us to take photos outside. Shaina's excitement and positive attitude made us feel so much better about the less than ideal weather. Within a week, Shaina sent us a preview of photos to share on our social media and it got us so excited to see the rest! We love her husband Arturo and they make such a great team!
Shaina and Arturo where do I even begin- we LOVE you guys!
Somehow between our Engagement Session AND our Wedding Day, Ryan and I possibly had the two most humid and hot days of this summer, naturally. But you would never know that thanks to the absolutely incredible work of Shaina and Arturo.
As camera shy people in general, Shaina and Arturo immediately made us feel at ease. Everything about how they approach couples photography is so natural, which you can tell in the final results of the amazing images. Our dog Murphy may have stolen the show on more than one occasion, and we are endlessly thankful for Shaina and Arturo for capturing all of our special memories.
On top of the incredible photos that speak for themselves, Shaina and Arturo are the kindest people to work with! They handle the various situations with your family, friends, and other vendors with ease, making it truly the perfect day. In the crazy chaos of the day, they won't forget to pull you outside for your coveted photo with the Colony Pizza food truck, which also gives you a second to eat something!
Finally, Shaina & Arturo's turn around time in editing photos is outstanding. Your preview comes almost instantaneously, allowing you to share your favorite photos right away. We can't wait to see our final wedding album and be able to gush over our photos more than we already do each day!
Shaina came highly recommended to me, and I can't wait to sing her praises to everyone I know! We are endlessly grateful for both of you capturing our special moments, and please know how much they will always mean to us.
Shaina and Arturo were amazing to work with! From the very beginning, they had the best communication out of probably all of our vendors. They even sent us a text on our wedding day just to be sure we had their numbers if we needed anything from them. They were quick to reply to every email.
Shaina and Arturo took gorgeous photos of our wedding day, and somehow even managed to make our rainy ceremony look beautiful! They were quick to share previews/highlights of our photos, and we really couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with them as our photographers! They were somehow our cheerleaders during the day but were also excellent at kind of drifting into the background (and never felt like they were in the way!)
I can't tell you how many compliments I got of our beautiful photos!
Shaina and Arturo made our whole wedding season, and of course our wedding day, so special. Their preparedness and organization during the planning process took so much stress off of our plates. On the wedding day, their calm demeanors and timely execution made the day run as smoothly as possible. The photos are so flawless. If you are looking for timeless, bright photos, choose Shaina Lee Photography. Shaina and Arturo will not disappoint!!
If we could leave a million stars for Shaina & Arturo we would! They were absolutely amazing from our first call through our engagement photos and wedding and delivering our wedding album (we even got it EARLIER than the original timeline).
Shaina & Arturo made us feel comfortable and like we had been friends for years right away. Their guidance and direction when taking pictures made us laugh, smile and have fun instead of being nervous about being in front of the camera. Shaina answered every question that I had and was so organized that it helped our wedding day timeline be a complete success. When the flowers from out florist somehow didn't end up on our cake, Shaina, our wedding coordinator and my mother in law saved the day by decorating our cake with flowers from our arch (they didn't even tell me this until after the wedding so I could enjoy a stress free day).
They went above and beyond every step of the way and our pictures are STUNNING! We would recommend them to anyone & everyone and we look forward to a lifelong friendship with Shaina & Arturo!
From my very first call with Shaina, I was immediately drawn to her warm and bubbly personality and knew she was the type of photographer I wanted to work with on our wedding day. Shaina's photography is absolutely stunning and she is a true professional through and through.
We did our engagement photos in the fall before our wedding and got to meet Shaina and Arturo in person. They immediately have a way of putting you at ease as if you're like most people, being photographed can feel uncomfortable at first! I love that they are a husband and wife team and just know how to work together so well while throwing in cute marital advise here and there.
On our wedding day, Shaina was so calm among the emotions of friends/family and gets the shots that she needs in such a friendly way. Shaina and Arturo really felt like a part of our day and never once did I feel that taking photos were a chore or was getting in the way of sharing special moments with our friends/family.
Thank you so much to Shaina and Arturo! It was one of the best decisions hiring them for our wedding and I can't sing their praises enough.
Shaina and Arturo were incredible from start to finish! Shaina was there to answer any and all questions leading up to our day, and was always quick to respond. Shaina gave great advice on what to wear for our engagement session as far as colors she recommended but was never pushy and always accommodated our ideas and visions. Both Shaina and Arturo captured the most incredible photos during our wedding. So many of our pictures show true emotion and really capture our day to the fullest. Our full gallery was delivered in a timely manner and was perfection! Both Shaina and Arturo are two of the sweetest people and they just have such a calming demeanor that helped us feel at ease on our wedding day!
Shaina and Arturo are so incredible! They were very reliable and easy to work with. They made our wedding day the most magical it could’ve been. Both Shaina and Arturo felt more like friends than our photographers. Both so kind and not pushy with what they wanted to achieve in each picture.
Both my husband and I are not big picture people but they made us feel incredibly comfortable every step of the way. If you need a photographer I would recommend them 100%!
Shaina and Arturo were just incredible. They made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Shaina was incredibly prompt with all communication and was very organized. The photos we received were unbelievable- the attention to detail and creativity was unparalleled and we could not be happier with our photos. I showed Shaina several “inspiration” photos beforehand and she exceeded my expectations (the photos were even better than the inspiration photos!). I would highly recommend Shaina Lee Photography!
I knew from the first time I spoke to Shaina that she was going to be the photographer for our wedding! I cannot say enough good things about Shaina and Arturo. They're extremely professional, kind, and made this whole experience very enjoyable. My husband and I were nervous about being the center of attention, but Shaina and Arturo made the process feel effortless and like they were our family taking everyday shots. Our engagement shoot photos came out amazing and we're looking forward to seeing our wedding photos! I wish I could give 100 stars to this husband and wife duo. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special. THANK YOU AGAIN, SHAINA & ARTURO!!
If you want true professionals that could not be more caring and compassionate about what they do, look no further than Shaina and Arturo! By the time our wedding day came, it felt like Shaina & Arturo were guests, not a vendor. The moment we connected with Shaina and Arturo, we knew they were exactly the duo we needed to capture our day! They were prompt, knowledgeable and made my husband and me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They made both our engagement and wedding photo sessions enjoyable - we couldn’t stop laughing! Then our photos came in - talk about PERFECTION! We cannot stop looking through them and are in awe of how Shaina and Arturo were able to capture our wedding so beautifully. We could not be happier we were able to work with them for our wedding and hope to work with them again in the future!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Shaina and Arturo were so truly amazing to work with and made every second so fun, even in the midst of crazy wedding planning. Truly the most genuine and incredible team I've had the pleasure of working with! Shaina's work is stunning, and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. When I look back at my wedding I will forever remember how incredibly lucky I was to have found Shaina Lee Photography! Could not thank this amazing team enough! Absolutely recommend to anyone!
I was a VERY anxious bride. I couldn't get myself out of the nitty gritty details...until I found Shaina! She was so organized and helpful - always available to answer my questions, build a timeline, share a resource, and help me problem solve and troubleshoot. She made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in gorgeous photos that will last a lifetime from the happiest time of our lives. I really cannot recommend Shaina and Arturo enough. We LOVED working with them and can only hope they'll dip into family portraits when it's time for us to grow our family because I want no one else to photograph and document life's milestones. BOOK THEM!!!
As a "type-a" bride who stressed over every little detail, it was essential that I found a photographer who I felt was organized, accountable, and professional. From the moment I met Shaina, she was EXACTLY that, and so much more. Shaina was proactive in her planning and responsive in her communication. I immediately trusted that Shaina was the perfect person to capture our wedding.
In my conversations with other photographers, I often felt like "just another job". But in EVERY conversation with Shaina, she shared in my excitement and made me feel as though she was looking forward to the day as much as I was.
It was Shaina's undeniably beautiful photography that made me pick up the phone and call her, but it was her evident expertise and bubbly, magnetic personality that sealed the deal.
Thank you, Shaina and Arturo! It was a true pleasure working with you both.
There are not enough words to sing the praises Shaina's work deserves. Her pictures are beautiful, timeless and something I will forever cherish. From our first conversation in 2019 to when we had to postpone due to COVID and all the way to our wedding day and after, Shaina has been so easy to talk to and readily available to help. She was a vendor everyone at my wedding noticed because of her calming yet structured demeanor that helped our day go by smoothly and effortlessly. The team that Shaina and Arturo make is unmatched. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
I cannot express enough how perfect it was working with Shaina and Arturo. THEY ARE THE BEST EVER!! From the first time I met shaina I immediately felt comfortable working with her. She is sweet, kind, professional, punctual, and BEYOND talented. She made the entire process so seamless and effortless. She responded to any questions promptly leading up to the wedding and was overall just amazing to work with. Not only are her and Arturo easy to work with and to get along with, their work is out of this world. I'm in love with the way the photos came out. I highly recommend using them!!
Shaina & Arturo are an amazing duo!
They suggest a wedding timeline that lines up with the best time for golden hour & sunset. It was helpful because we hadn’t even really thought about a timeline so we pretty much stuck with their ideas and the night went amazingly!
They worked with us when we had to change our wedding date due to covid. And along the way we’re very communicative :) We had so much fun having them at our special day and if we could do it all over again, we’d choose them! Even though their 2021 season has been a busy one they treated us to a sneak peak within the same weekend of our event! Two of the sweetest humans that are in love with love!
If you want to work with the sweetest and most talented team then book Shaina Lee Photography!
From our first phone call I immediately felt such comfort that we booked a great photographer. Shaina made the process for us so easy and was always available to answer any question we had and provided her expertise as well! Funny enough after we booked Shaina as I kept looking through her stunning portfolios, I noticed that she had photographed a friend’s wedding a few years back!
Shaina was always so understanding and patient with us while we had to change our wedding date three times due to the pandemic.
We are still in awe of our engagement and wedding photos. Both capture our love so perfectly!
Forever grateful that we got to work with the best team Shaina & Arturo! We miss them already!
Shaina and Arturo are the wedding photographers that you dream of! They are punctual, responsive, creative, sweet, and personable. They were understanding when our wedding had to be postponed, and were flexible when small details for the big day changed at the last minute. They even created the perfect wedding-day timeline that kept everyone on track. Most importantly, our engagement and wedding photos came out beautifully. Truly, they are more than we could have asked for. The soft tones and classic look make for timeless photos that we will cherish forever. I have already recommended this dream photography duo to a couple of my engaged friends, and I will continue to recommend them any chance that I get!
Shaina and Arturo are absolutely a dream team. We had the pleasure of working with them late last year for our engagement photos which set the tone for what would be an amazing experience working with them for our wedding this October. Shaina is incredibly talented, kind, and timely. She was ready and willing to capture any request I had when it came to specific photos we wanted. Having her and her husband Arturo as part of our wedding day team kept us both relaxed, happy, and on a perfect schedule. What I really loved about Shaina and Arturo was their genuine desire for their couples to be in the moment and enjoy their day. They worked quickly to capture incredible photos of us, but then sent us off to cocktail hour so that we could spend time with our guests. Shaina provided words of encouragement after every portrait she took which made us feel like real superstars and kept us both smiling all day. Truthfully, by the end of the day Shaina and Arturo felt like friends of ours, rather than just people hired to capture our wedding photos. I highly recommend reaching out to this incredible team! Be open and specific about what you are looking for and Shaina and Arturo will absolutely deliver beautiful portraits and make sure you are relaxed, happy, and thoroughly enjoying your day!
First and foremost, book Shaina Lee Photography! They photographed my wedding in May of 2021 and I am forever grateful for their professionalism, organization and kindness through the whole process (especially with Covid) Shaina was extremely quick in communicating throughout the whole process and gave me great advice in regards to my bouquet colors and what would look great in photos. They have you fill out a detailed form so no questions or mishaps occur on the day of the wedding. On top of all that, their photos are just amazing. Intimate, sweet, soft, and just beautiful. They put you at ease when "posing" for photos and make you laugh the whole time. I couldn't have been happier with our choice for wedding photographers and I refer them to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
I met Shaina and Arturo when they photographed a friends wedding. Her pictures came out so beautiful and I knew I wanted to have them at my own wedding. We were originally getting married in August of 2020 in CT. With all of the restrictions we had to reschedule to August 2021 in Maine. They were so flexible and understanding. Shaina’s communication is very prompt and she helped me organize my whole wedding timeline. They are both the epitome of professionals. They had 3 weddings in 3 different states the weekend of my wedding and mine was the third. On the way to Maine they apparently had broke down…. I had no idea until later on. They did what needed to be done and were so laid back you would have no idea what they went through to get there. They are so sweet and help create a very relaxed atmosphere on your day. They also posted a highlight reel on their blog for all of your friends and family to see which is a nice bonus. The engagement session that is included when you book with them is also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. I would 1000% recommend booking with Shaina and Arturo!
I was in a friend's wedding that was shot by Shaina and Arturo in January 2020 and since that day, I knew I wanted them to shoot my own! They are both so easy going and make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Together they made our day so special with classic and elegant photos that will last a lifetime!
Shaina was the first photographer we met with, and from that moment we knew she was the ONLY one we wanted capturing our special day! Shaina is literally THE sweetest person on the planet, and her work is phenomenal! Since meeting her, we feel we have grown so close and consider her more of a friend! :) She made us feel so comfortable taking pictures, and her guidance and support leading up to our wedding made us feel so special. In the few days following our wedding, she even released a few sneak peak photos to DIE for! I could not believe how beautiful her eye and attention to detail is. We feel so thankful to have not only the most talented photographers share our day, but to have made such kind and genuine friends! We hope to have Shaina continue capturing our life milestones in our future!!! She is the BEST!
Shaina and Arturo made us feel at ease with them and were amazing to work with! I literally just keep staring at my photos to reminisce about our day! I can’t thank them enough for capturing our wedding so perfectly!
If I could give Shaina more than 5 stars, I would! She and Arturo are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are super responsive, professional, and above all else great at their jobs. Shaina was very flexible and empathetic through our two COVID postponements, and as someone who does not usually care for how they look in pictures, I was amazed at how much I love our wedding photos. She captured our day so beautifully! Shaina even helped me develop my day-of timeline, which was a huge help as I was planning without a wedding planner. Our photos speak for themselves, but Shaina was our favorite wedding vendor by far and I cannot recommend her enough to photograph your big day!
Meeting and working with Shaina was a dream come true. I been looking for a photographer such as Shaina. She is a natural light photographer, professional, has an eye that captures details, and she takes exceptional photos .She is very easy going, beautiful person inside out.I was Blessed to work with her.I will absolutely work with her again soon!
Thank you Shaina !You are the BEST!
Shania and Arturo are absolutely amazing! They photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Our original photographer cancelled 4 days before our wedding so we contacted Shania and Arturo based on a recommendation and are so happy that we did! They were flexible, accommodating, and made the preparation process so quick and easy for us while still noting all the important details.
They are professional, extremely friendly, talented, organized, and truly cared about our happiness with the photos. We also appreciated how discreet they were during our ceremony and reception - they took fabulous photos without drawing attention to themselves. If we ever need professional photos taken again, we will absolutely hire them. We would recommend them to anyone!
Shaina was an absolute delight to work with!
I found her via Instagram and her photography style matched exactly what I had in mind for our engagement session that took place in September. Her communication leading up to the session was prompt and direction during it was clear and warm which helped us capture the best photos!
A few weeks later I ordered prints directly through her and they turned out great as well.
I couldn’t recommend her enough for stylish, comfortable, and memorable photographs!
Shaina and Arturo are not only two extremely talented photographers, but they are also two of the kindest people in the world. If you are looking for an organized and talented photographer, and someone who will make your big day feel easeful...Shaina is your girl. We first had an engagement photoshoot with Shaina which helped us practice for our big day and helped us become more comfortable with her. She made us naturally smile and laugh the entire time. It was a wonderful experience. All correspondence with Shaina prior to our wedding was timely and communicative. Shaina set up meetings and asked strong questions to ensure we were always on the same page. We got married in December on a cold day. Despite the weather, Shaina was organized and quick outside while still capturing the most remarkable photos. She captured our emotions, intimate interactions with each other and our families, and even the little details in between. It is honestly hard to put into words how much we appreciate Shaina and Arturo and all that they did to make our special day memorable. They truly love what they do and it showed in their work and ever interaction.
Shaina and Arturo are one of a kind! They not only take beautiful photos but they are so kind and thoughtful. Our entire experience was wonderful
and we have beautiful photos to show! I never was one to love my photo taken so I was definitely worried I wouldn’t like myself in a photo, but boy was I wrong! Our photos are elegant and airy. I love how they got snap shots of all the little things that made our wedding day so special. It’s definitely hard to find the one photo we like the most! You can’t go wrong choosing Shaina and Arturo to document your special day!
Shaina and Arturo were a joy to work with for our intimate backyard wedding! I saw some of her work on Instagram, and fell in love with the style and colors of her photographs. She was quick to respond to our emails, and so helpful at figuring out what kind of photography we needed for our big day. She also helped us develop a timeline for the day of, and gave me some great recommendations for other vendors. On the day of the wedding they arrived promptly, and were so warm and friendly. My husband and I have never had our photos taken professionally before, so we had no idea how to pose, but she kept us on track and gave great direction. Our pictures came out beautifully, and I’m so thrilled with all of them. I would highly recommend Shaina to everyone!
Mia and I, coming from Branford, had a wonderful experience during our wedding, thanks to our photographer, Shaina and her husband, Arturo. They are really the expert in the field, and always were patient. We really loves the photos they gave us, bright and beautiful, and they gave us the unforgettable memory!
If you want the best photographers and hype team at your wedding you need to hire Shaina and Arturo!! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped flawlessly guide us through our wedding day. It was great to have the engagement shoot before the wedding too. Not only did we get the most beautiful photos, but it helped us get to know each other how they worked before our big day. As for our wedding day they did an amazing job capturing the big moments and the little ones, all of the details, as well as the behind the scenes. I love looking through those photos to bring me back to the most perfect day! Thank you Shaina and Arturo!!!
Coming from a couple who usually does not like how they look in photos, I have to say we were happily surprised when we got our engagement and wedding photos back to find we loved how we looked! Shaina photographed a friend's wedding and when I saw her photos I knew I needed to have Shaina Lee Photography for my own wedding. Shaina and Arturo are a dynamic duo and from our first meeting at their lovely studio we knew we had found the perfect photography team to document our special day. Starting with the lovely intimate engagement session to break the ice and to the wedding photos we were completely comfortable and feel like we built a real relationship with both Shaina and Arturo. The wedding photos truly sing and bring back all the special, happy moments that we experienced all throughout our wedding day. Shaina was amazing and efficient at posting an amazing sneak peek a few days after the wedding, and we had our full gallery in just about 2 weeks! I love the way Shaina takes time to photograph the intimate, intricate details of the day and make sure that they get great individual photos of the bride and groom, as well as our wedding party and families. We even had fireworks at our wedding, and even though it was Shiana's first time photographing fireworks, the photos came out unbelievable! The photos truly capture our fairytale wedding. Thank you Shaina and Arturo for documenting our day and allowing us to reminisce on our precious moments for a lifetime!
Shaina and Arturo are absolutely amazing! The photos they are able to capture are timeless and beautiful. Not only are they talented photographers, but extremely courteous and professional. I worked with Shaina for my sisters wedding 3 years prior and I would have changed my wedding date depending on Shaina’s availability just to have her take my own wedding pictures. I’ve already recommended them to everyone I know getting married because they are simply the best!
OMG - literally WHAT can I say about these two to put into words how incredible they are?! From the beginning, Shaina and Arturo were much more like friends/family than vendors to us. We clicked immediately from the day we met them back in July of 2018, and that friendship only blossomed as we worked together more and more over the past 1.5 years. Not only do they do AMAZING work, but they do it so effortlessly; I have never felt so comfortable in front of a camera! From our engagement session photos to (what I have seen!) of our wedding photos - everything just looks and feels so perfect! We love them both dearly and consider them to be the BEST photographers in all of Fairfield County. Our wedding truly wouldn't have been as perfect and magical as it was if it's wasn't for the two of them. We would recommend them a million times over to any and every one!
We could not be more happy with the work that Shaina and her husband Arturo did for both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. The two of them are the kindest people you will ever meet and they are very professional. I would definitely recommend them to everyone to capture the special moments on your wedding day. We have so many beautiful pictures from our wedding that we simply can't pick our favorites. We can't think them enough for their work.
From the moment my husband and I met Shaina and Arturo we knew we needed to have them capture our wedding day! Shaina are Arturo are two of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing.
Not only are they extremely talented, but they were so insightful throughout the months leading up to the wedding. I really appreciate how they kept in contact with me and offered tips and recommendations for the wedding day!
Shaina and Arturo are wonderful photographers and even better people. I am so lucky they were the ones who captured our wedding day and I highly recommend them to anyone who is searching for a wedding photographer!
Shaina and Arturo are simply amazing. They made us feel like close friends from day one. We loved dreaming up our wedding with them, photographing our engagement was so simple and stress-free , then the day of our wedding was perfection. They are timely, polite, fun, and basically the best. Thank you so much, we love our photos and we love y'all! Drinks soon?
WOW! That’s what I have to say about our insanely beautiful wedding and engagement photos.
We booked Shaina and Arturo back in December 2018 for our October 2019 wedding. From our first conversation with them I knew we made the right decision. Not only is Shaina talented and experienced, but she and her husband are kind, funny, authentic and wonderful to be around!
Shaina is also very organized which helped keep me calm during the planning process. She makes sure she knows what details and portraits are important to the bride and groom and makes sure she captures them. She uses natural light, which creates the most beautiful, natural portraits.
Our wedding photos are better than I ever thought possible. I highly encourage any bride and groom to book Shaina Lee Photography!
Amazing to work with an quality product! We loved Shaina!
Shaina and Arturo are the absolute best. Their personalities and professionalism made them an absolute dream to work with! Not to mention the incredible photography style and clarity of our photos...we are obsessed with every single wedding photo that we received! Thank you so much for making our day perfect, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!
I cannot rave about Shaina and Arturo enough. They worked with me to find a package that fit our needs and budget. They traveled for my engagement shoot and put up a beautiful blog post to share with friends and family. While planning I emailed Shaina SO MUCH and she always responded with ideas, solutions, and was so helpful through the planning process. On my wedding day I was so at ease because they just had everything covered. They were organized and stuck with my shot list but were also totally ok with throwing some last minute ones in. People commented about how they didn't realize she was taking pictures while dancing which is just the best. Shaina and Arturo were totally accessible throughout the day when last minute pictures came up, checked in with us frequently, and make sure we were all set before they packed up to go. We got a couple sneak peeks ONE DAY after our wedding and she published a blog post with an insane number of pictures FOUR DAYS after the wedding. LIKE WOW. I cannot wait to see our entire gallery and I'm so glad I chose to work with Shaina and Arturo.
I can not express how thankful I am that we found Shaina! From the first phone call to all the finishing touches... she made this entire process a gift. We can not wait to use her for our future photography needs! Not only did we get the most beautiful photos that we can forever cherish, but she (and her husband) made us feel like we made new forever friends. Shaina has such talent as a photographer, attention to detail, professionalism, kindness, amazing business bedside manner, caring demeanor, and amazing personality! You will be lucky to work with her! I can not speak highly enough about Shaina and her husband, Arturo.
In my opinion the best out there! Shaina Lee and her husband Arturo are beyond amazing at what they do! From our engagement pictures to our wedding photos she made our day look like it came out of a fancy magazine! She is truly gifted at what she does and affordable as well! She made me feel so comfortable when we were both shy getting in front of the Lena’s and she actually made it fun to capture the best moments of our lives! She stepped in to help me get into my dress when everyone else was running late getting ready and at the end of all this I gained a friend! I don’t know where else you could find a photographer as amazing as Shaina Lee. If I could fly a plane I would totally have a banner saying Shaina Lee photography is truly amazing!!
I booked Shaina for a boudoir shoot as a surprise gift to my husband, and it was more than I ever could have dreamed of. Her studio is beautiful, and she is so warm and welcoming that I immediately felt comfortable. Her coaching really made it all come together, and all my photos came out beautiful. I can't wait for the album to come in, and to see my husband's reaction when I give it to him! I highly recommend booking a boudoir shoot with Shaina for any and every woman; it will change how you see yourself!
