Connecticut Wedding Photography
The Wedding Experience
Congratulations! You're engaged and soon to be married, which means it's time to celebrate!
Arturo and I have photographed weddings in Connecticut, New York, and beyond. I got my start in the Connecticut wedding photography industry over 10 years ago, and Arturo followed a few years later. We’ve had the privilege of photographing some of the sweetest people, documenting their lives, and sharing their stories. We're lucky to work with exciting, fun, and authentic couples who are truly, madly, deeply in love. Our favorite weddings include plenty of natural light, meaningful personal details, and a first look. We enjoy shooting at estates, vineyards, historic mansions, venues along the New England coast, and locations with plenty of outdoor space to bring the beauty of nature into your photographs.
Full Wedding Collections begin at $4999
Wedding photography is an investment that you’re sure to enjoy with your partner, children, and grandchildren for decades to come. After the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the music and dancing have finished, all you walk away with after the celebration is over is a new spouse and your wedding photos! Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.
We’ve made our wedding photography coverage options simple and easy. All collections include at least 8 hours of wedding day coverage, two photographers, private online galleries, high resolution digital images and a complimentary engagement session.

The Process & What to Expect
Save That Date
Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and having the opportunity to be a part of yours is something we're incredibly thankful for. To book your wedding date, we will send you an online contract which you’ll be able to sign electronically. When we’ve received your retainer payment and signed contract, you’ll officially be a Shaina Lee Couple!
The Engagement Session
Once you’ve booked your date with us, we’ll send you our Engagement Session Planning Guide, which covers everything from what to expect, location ideas, outfit inspiration and so. much. more. Think of your engagement session as practice for your wedding day. You’ll become more familiar with how we work as photographers, which will help you to establish a new level of trust with us. By the time your wedding day arrives, that trust re-emerges, which will help you feel much more relaxed in front of our cameras. Your engagement photos will be delivered to you in a private online gallery with a print release, from which you’ll be able to download them directly to your computer.
Wedding Day Details
About 6-8 weeks before your wedding date, we’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out regarding the details of your wedding day. Gathering this information helps us to build a photography timeline for your wedding day that keeps us organized so we can capture the moments which are most important to you! In the event you’re working with a wedding planner or coordinator, we’ll work alongside them to create a final timeline that assists both the photography schedule and the day-of schedule. Timelines are essential so you have dreamy, romantic portraits and high-quality photographs to remember your wedding day by. Once we receive the responses to your questionnaire, we'll set up a time and date to review everything together so we're all on the same page.
Time for the I Do’s
After months of planning, your wedding day has arrived! This is the time for you to relax while enjoying the people around you who have come to celebrate this new season of your lives you’ll be starting together. We're excited to get to know your families, best friends, and those who have shaped you into the people you are today!
The Wedding Gallery
Once your final wedding photographs are edited, we’ll deliver them to you in another private online gallery, similar to the one from your engagement session. Since you’ll have more images from your wedding day than your engagement session, we organize the images into folders from each part of the day.
Heirloom Wedding Albums
Our heirloom wedding albums come from a top-quality lab in the industry that works strictly with professional photographers. If you choose a wedding collection with an album, we’ll design it for you to tell the beautiful story of your wedding day through your photographs. Afterward, we’ll send you a design proof, to which you’ll have the option of adding images and pages. Once you’ve approved the proof and chosen the color and cover material of your album, the design will be sent to our lab for production!
