Norwalk, Connecticut two person team with a Whitby Castle wedding on file. No prices or travel fees published.
Shaina Lee Photography is a two person team, Shaina and Arturo, working out of Norwalk, Connecticut. The site publishes separate contact addresses for each of them, and its copyright line runs from 2010, which is the only date we can use to place the business in time. Westchester is explicitly marketed, and the post we read covers a wedding at Whitby Castle in Rye. The studio also shoots engagements, cultural traditions and family sessions beside the weddings. Destination work is on the list too. No price appears anywhere on the pages we read. No collection, no floor, no hourly figure. For a Connecticut studio marketing into a New York county, the travel charge usually decides whether a quote is competitive. That number is not published either.
There is no figure on the pages we read, so the enquiry produces the only number you will see. Because the studio sits in Connecticut, get the travel cost to your Westchester venue in dollars. Tolls and any hotel night should be inside that figure. Then request every collection priced, with the hours in each. Whether both photographers attend, and when the gallery arrives, should be in writing as well.
The Whitby Castle wedding post on shainaleephotography.com. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
Norwalk, Connecticut is the base and Westchester is a marketed area, with no prices or travel charges published.
Norwalk sits on the Connecticut coast, and reaching central or northern Westchester means crossing a state line and, depending on the route, a bridge or a toll. Studios handle that differently. Some absorb it inside the collection price. Some bill mileage. Some require a hotel night for an early start.
Ask which of those applies to your venue and your start time, and ask for the charge as a dollar figure for your date.
The same question applies to the second shooter, if there is one. Two people travelling from Connecticut is two sets of costs, and studios sometimes bill the second photographer’s travel separately from the first. Get both on the page before you sign anything.
The most common complaint in wedding photography is that the person whose work you booked is not the person who shows up. A two person studio that publishes both names and both contact addresses makes that question easy to settle.
Confirm which of the two shoots your wedding and whether both attend. Settle in advance what happens if one is ill. A two person team has less depth than a roster studio, and the backup plan should be written down before you sign.
No founding year appears on the site. Nor does a count of weddings shot, or a rate. The copyright line from 2010 is the closest thing to a track record on the page. That is thin, and it is a fair thing to raise directly.
Ask how many weddings the team shoots in a season and how many of those have been at Westchester venues. Then request every collection priced. Each should carry hours, second shooter status and a delivery timeline. The travel cost from Connecticut for your date goes on the same sheet.
The Whitby Castle post is the county evidence we have. Whitby is in Rye, on the Sound, which is the corner of Westchester nearest a Norwalk studio. When your venue is further north or west, treat the drive as an open question and get the answer priced.
