Yale University Cherish the Dress in New Haven, CT | Ashley & Ryan

July 8, 2016 Shaina Diaz
Ashley + Ryan | Cherish the Dress | Shaina Lee Photography | Connecticut + Destination Wedding Photographer | Connecticut Wedding | CT Wedding at Yale University | New Haven, CT Wedding

After being together for just over 9 years, Ashley and Ryan tied the knot at the Fort William Henry Hotel in Lake George, New York last September.  Last month, these high school sweethearts celebrated ten whole years of sharing a life full of love together!  It was a perfect excuse to get dressed up in their wedding attire again, and I was so excited to shoot their Cherish the Dress Session at Yale University!  We walked around the New Haven Green, and proceeded to find a secluded area of Yale on the Old Campus.  The historic buildings and beautiful architecture served as the perfect backdrop for Ashley and Ryan's photos!

Congratulations again you two!  Here's to many more years of love and happiness!

@arturodiaz.slp and I are just over a month away from starting our 2019 wedding season!  Our "off" season hasn't been a true off-season but for that, we're incredibly thankful!  It's kept us on our toes and has pumped us up for all of the wonderful couples we have the pleasure of serving this year.  We know this season is going to be a wonderful one!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

So far our Connecticut winter has been a pretty big flop, but each time I've seen a snowflake in the forecast I've kept my fingers crossed for a thick blanket of snow to cover the ground.  Who's hopeful for a decent amount of snow tonight?! ⠀

Raise your hand if you're doing a first look on your wedding day!  I know I've said it a million times, but this is just one of the parts of a wedding day that @arturodiaz.slp and I love to photograph most!  There is so much sweet, natural, and genuine emotion, PLUS it's a part of the day you two really get to have some time to yourselves without family, wedding party, or guests surrounding you.  As an added bonus, opting for a first look also results in a less stressful photography timeline, AND you two get to enjoy your whole cocktail hour!  I'd say that's a wedding day WIN!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

Who knew that a dead plant twig in the background of a ring shot could add so much visual interest to a photo?! 😂  This winter @arturodiaz.slp and I have been photographing several of our 2019 couples' engagement sessions; if there's one thing I've learned, it's that photos taken during the winter are just as beautiful as those taken during the spring, summer, and fall.  If you missed Jairo and Vanessa's winter beach engagement session on the blog this week, take a peek at the link in my profile to check it out!⠀

LOVE NOTES

the-knot-shaina-lee-photography.png
"On our big day, Shaina and Arturo were a phenomenal team. I'm a little camera shy, but they made my husband and I feel very comfortable. They gave us guidance along the way, but the poses still felt natural and true to ourselves. The photos came out magnificent! They captured our love and happiness perfectly. As I look through all the photos, I instantly start grinning as I reminisce on the most amazing day of our lives! I am so thankful to Shaina and Arturo for their hard work and skill!"  — Lisa & Matt

The session was relaxed and fun, which allowed for photos that captured both our personalities. When we saw our gorgeous pictures we were amazed at how we loved every single one - that has never happened to us before!"   — Emelia & Jon

"I decided to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift for my husband. I did some research and was pretty hesitant since a lot of the options I found were a little cheesy, but then I found Shaina and booked her immediately! Her photos are tasteful and beautiful, and doing the shoot was so much fun. She puts you so at ease and I had a great time doing it. Besides the fun I had, my husband absolutely LOVED the album and I think it's something he'll cherish for years. Such a great gift idea and so worth it." — Erin

"Shaina not only met our expectations but she far surpassed them. Her talent is undeniable but it's also her ability to connect with her clients. By Shaina taking the time to get to know her clients and their story not only personalizes your experience with her but allows you to feel comfortable around her and that completely translates into your photos. I still swoon when I look at our photos. You cannot go wrong with Shaina and Arturo behind the lens!"  — Nika & Javier

@arturodiaz.slp and I are just over a month away from starting our 2019 wedding season!  Our "off" season hasn't been a true off-season but for that, we're incredibly thankful!  It's kept us on our toes and has pumped us up for all of the wonderful couples we have the pleasure of serving this year.  We know this season is going to be a wonderful one!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

So far our Connecticut winter has been a pretty big flop, but each time I've seen a snowflake in the forecast I've kept my fingers crossed for a thick blanket of snow to cover the ground.  Who's hopeful for a decent amount of snow tonight?! ⠀

Raise your hand if you're doing a first look on your wedding day!  I know I've said it a million times, but this is just one of the parts of a wedding day that @arturodiaz.slp and I love to photograph most!  There is so much sweet, natural, and genuine emotion, PLUS it's a part of the day you two really get to have some time to yourselves without family, wedding party, or guests surrounding you.  As an added bonus, opting for a first look also results in a less stressful photography timeline, AND you two get to enjoy your whole cocktail hour!  I'd say that's a wedding day WIN!  #shainaleeweddings #shainaleebride #shainaleecouples⠀

Who knew that a dead plant twig in the background of a ring shot could add so much visual interest to a photo?! 😂  This winter @arturodiaz.slp and I have been photographing several of our 2019 couples' engagement sessions; if there's one thing I've learned, it's that photos taken during the winter are just as beautiful as those taken during the spring, summer, and fall.  If you missed Jairo and Vanessa's winter beach engagement session on the blog this week, take a peek at the link in my profile to check it out!⠀
