Some things in life naturally go hand in hand, and for Arturo, that’s weddings and cigars. For the past decade, Arturo has been right alongside me, capturing wedding days through the lens at Shaina Lee Photography. He understands the rhythm of a wedding day, the moments that matter, and the experience couples want to create for their guests. So when he co-opened Prime Tobacconist, a premium cigar lounge and shop in Milford, Connecticut, it felt like a natural extension of what we’ve already been building together for years!
