The Knot Best of Weddings 2023 Award
Happy New Year, friends! Is it too late in the month to still send those well wishes?
It's been a quiet January over here for Arturo and me. We spent the earlier part of the month visiting family in Florida, and have slowly been easing back into work over the past week. Those post-vacation blues are real, but much to our delight, we recently received some very exciting news!
I opened up my email last Thursday to find out that Shaina Lee Photography is a winner of The Knot Best of Weddings 2023! This is our 5th year in a row to win, and it’s all thanks to our amazing couples. The Knot Best of Weddings is an accolade representing the highest-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples on The Knot, one of the largest wedding planning resources on the web.
Arturo and I are endlessly grateful for our couples who took the time last year to share about their experience with us for future Shaina Lee Photography couples to read. Their glowing reviews help our business continue to grow year after year while serving some incredible people along the way!
Thank you to our community of clients, family, friends, and fellow vendors who support us as we make new strides within Shaina Lee Photography each year. We're so glad you're here for the ride.
Here's to an exciting 2023!

2023 was quite a year for Shaina Lee Photography in so many wonderful ways! It was our busiest year with a jam-packed calendar pretty much from start to finish. 31 weddings. 20 engagement sessions. 10 family sessions. Whew!

I can’t believe the new year is here and 2022 has officially come to a close. Last year was a wild one for sure, filled with growth, learning opportunities, and plenty of excitement for Shaina Lee Photography!
Last week, Arturo and I received the news that Shaina Lee Photography had been selected as a 2022 winner in The Knot Best of Weddings! This award is always an honor to receive because it comes from the glowing reviews of our past couples. Our win this year is extra special for Arturo and me because we've also been inducted into The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame!
Just like that, another wedding season is in the books! Arturo and I felt proud of ourselves when we made it through 2020, but little did we know what 2021 had in store. For many wedding vendors, this year was like having two wedding seasons in one, which made for our busiest year in the history of Shaina Lee Photography.
As our business has grown over the past couple of years, I’ve gone back and forth on the idea of investing in hiring a branding and website designer. Arturo and I know the importance of brand recognition and having a fine-tuned website that works for you online 24/7. Despite the pandemic, the last year showed me how Shaina Lee Photography continued to grow. I finally decided we needed a rebrand and newly designed website to highlight that increase in business and the improvement of our services!
It’s been a few years since I did a “Best Of” blog post, so it seemed like a better time than ever to share the highlights of an otherwise challenging year. Enjoy a few of my favorite days from 2020!
2020 has been one heck of a year, am I right? Despite many postponements, we were still able to end our season having photographed 25 elopements, micro weddings, and intimate celebrations. To top it off, last month Arturo and I received the email that we had won The Knot Best of Weddings 2021 Award. After what has been our most challenging year, we are incredibly appreciative to receive this award for the third consecutive year!
2025 was a year filled with joy, trust, connection, and moments that reminded us (again and again) how incredibly lucky we are to do this work!
