But your little corner is actually pretty beautiful.

Because you found someone to ride with you through all of the craziness.

You make each other feel safe and loved, held and free.

I couldn't be happier for you. I want you to hold them tight.

And if you feel like telling everyone exactly how incredible you are or celebrating your cute selves with all your favorite people together in one room...

I'll be right there with my camera, laugh-crying and cheering you on!

The world is

a crazy place...

LET'S TALK LOGISTICS

I'm Shaina.

Queer Boston wedding photographer and pretty chill person.

I was born in laid-back Southern California, but I've lived in Type A New England for over a decade. With me as your wedding photographer, you'll get the best of both worlds.

I'll help you craft a hyper-detailed wedding timeline, but we can go with the flow on your day.

I'll show up super prepared, with everything from a stain stick to bug spray.

If you've got a dance floor, you won't be able to stop me from showing off my sweet moves.

My jokes are corny, but my lip syncing is excellent.

I can make friends with pretty much anyone, and now I want to be friends with you!

I like helping

Helping's my favorite!

After our initial call, people always tell me, "That was so helpful!" And that's exactly what I'm here for; loads of advice and a little bit of hand holding.

I've got a blog post or guide for most common questions. I also kick butt at pro/con lists. I even made a limited series podcast full of unique wedding stories and helpful tips. (Have a listen!)
