Guilford Yacht Club Wedding in Guilford, CT | Julia & Matt

June 9, 2017 Shaina Diaz

Julia and Matt's love story and wedding day is definitely one for the books!  They both work for NBC Sports and met in the fall of 2013.  She had moved to Connecticut to work on the 2014 Sochi Olympics, while he had moved to Connecticut from Philadelphia just a few years earlier.  They were seated just rows away from each other in the digital news room and quickly went from co-workers to friends through after-work happy hours and trivia nights.  There came a time when Julia needed to learn how to drive stick shift, and Matt was one of the few people she knew with a manual transmission car.  Due to their opposite work schedules, they spent the Olympics meeting at midnight in a local parking lot for driving lessons.  Julia was incredibly thankful for Matt's patience and generosity, while he was impressed by her fearlessness and determination.  A week after the Closing Ceremony of the 2014 Olympics, they had their first official date!  During a trip to Curacao last year, Matt asked Julia to marry him.  Here they are now, the new Mr. & Mrs!

It seems that each time we've photographed these two sweethearts, the weather is absolutely perfect!  During their engagement session, we were fortunate enough to have the most wonderful golden evening light.  The sunset on their wedding day was just as stunning, painting the sky beautiful hues of pinks and purples.  A few weeks back, Arturo and I photographed Julia and Matt at their Waveny Park engagement session in New Canaan.  In the hour we spent with them they told us the final details for their big day, and we knew their wedding was going to be absolutely amazing!  Everything about their wedding style was thoughtfully planned, all the way down to the tiniest of details.  When Julia mentioned their wedding florist was making some floral arrangements inside of a few pineapples for the bar during the reception, I nearly jumped out of my shoes!  It was perfect for their tropical-nautical theme.  You guys know I LOVE color, and this wedding had plenty of it!

They started the day with a first look on the lawn of the Guilford Yacht Club, which has beautiful backdrops of the marina and the water.  Even if you were to meet Julia and Matt for the first time, you'd know they were meant to be together.  Their smiles shined brighter than the sun as soon as they saw each other dressed up to say their I Do's.  The wedding ceremony was officiated by a close friend, an extra special and personal touch to their day.  Julia and Matt were married in front of some of their favorite people who came from all over the country to share their beautiful day.  They wrote the sweetest, most heartfelt vows to each other, promising the other life-long support, love and adventure.  When it came time to celebrate, everyone danced the night away!  I don't know that I've ever seen a dance floor so packed for so much of the night!

Julia and Matt, Arturo and I were so happy to serve you in this new season of your life together!  Wishing you lots of love, laughter and adventure for years to come!

As soon as I saw Julia and Matt's wedding florals, my eyes lit up!  This bouquet from Fleurish brings the tropics to New England!

I love when couples add personal touches to their day.  Julia and Matt planted a fig tree during their ceremony, using soil and water from their home towns in Arizona and Pennsylvania and their current home in Connecticut!

They have such a wonderfully classic look!  Arturo and I thought Julia had such a 'Jackie O.' look to her.  Timeless!

After Julia's dad gave his speech, we snuck outside for a few minutes to catch the last bit of the sunset.  The soft glow from the last bit of light was perfect!

Yale University has quickly become one of my favorite places for engagement and wedding day portraits!  Back in October, my dream came true as I worked with a fabulous team of lovely ladies in New Haven, Connecticut who brought this @yale elopement to life!  I had beautiful florals, a stunning lace dress and an amazing couple to photograph.  It was a perfect fall day for portraits on a beautiful campus.  Our efforts that day paid off, and I am so excited to have our work featured on @letsbeetogether!  Today I'm sharing a recap of our feature on the blog! {Link in profile}  #shainaleecouples ⠀

•BLOG POST•  Back in February, I worked with @kwalsh725 of Kelli & Company, a boutique graphic design company based in Bedford, New York.  Kelli's experience as a graphic designer is quite impressive; she's worked with large television networks such as WE tv and the History Channel in addition to designing beautiful stationery for weddings and events!  Her wedding invitation suites especially caught my eye, and I just knew I had to share Kelli's lovely work with my readers.  I am so excited to be introducing Kelli to you all on the blog today! {Link in profile}⠀

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

— Lisa & Matt

  "The first picture Shaina took, she showed me on her camera.  I couldn't believe it was me.  She has talent of bringing out your best features and inner beauty.  I was floored.  We took a series of photos with different outfits and poses. I loved all of my pictures!"  — Jasmine

— Jasmine

  "Neither of us had ever felt comfortable in front of a camera before being photographed by Shaina.  Both she and Arturo are so kind, fun, and knowledgeable that they quickly put us both at ease.  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

Yale University has quickly become one of my favorite places for engagement and wedding day portraits!  Back in October, my dream came true as I worked with a fabulous team of lovely ladies in New Haven, Connecticut who brought this @yale elopement to life!  I had beautiful florals, a stunning lace dress and an amazing couple to photograph.  It was a perfect fall day for portraits on a beautiful campus.  Our efforts that day paid off, and I am so excited to have our work featured on @letsbeetogether!  Today I'm sharing a recap of our feature on the blog! {Link in profile}  #shainaleecouples ⠀

•BLOG POST•  Back in February, I worked with @kwalsh725 of Kelli & Company, a boutique graphic design company based in Bedford, New York.  Kelli's experience as a graphic designer is quite impressive; she's worked with large television networks such as WE tv and the History Channel in addition to designing beautiful stationery for weddings and events!  Her wedding invitation suites especially caught my eye, and I just knew I had to share Kelli's lovely work with my readers.  I am so excited to be introducing Kelli to you all on the blog today! {Link in profile}⠀

 Rainy days mean vibrant colors, which add such a beautiful pop to your photos!  #shainaleecouples ⠀
