capturing timeless and elegant moments with a candid feel & documentary style

  • David

    Welcome to my world captured through the lens! Hailing from New York City with roots tracing back to Connecticut, I'm a software engineer by day and a passionate photographer by heart. Photography has been my cherished creative sanctuary, offering a profound balance to my tech-driven profession.

    Eager to bring your story to life through my lens, I'm excited at the prospect of photographing the unique facets that define you. Let's create something extraordinary together!

  • Shayna

    Born and raised in CT, I am here for the love, adventure, and to celebrate your relationships. I typically sport a double harness to carry around my gear and recently started using my dad’s 50 year old film camera. By day, my technical skills are tested in the world of engineering while photography brings out my creative side.

    My lens is dedicated to capturing the love and connection between couples, the warmth of families, and the delightful charm of our four-legged friends. Laughter is my favorite tool in sessions as it evokes genuine, natural moments. I will be your number one hype gal capturing your timeless moments!

It is a profound honor to be entrusted with your precious memories. At David and Shayna Photography, we are dedicated to capturing the essence of your relationships, curating experiences that evoke beautiful, raw emotions, and cherishing the often overlooked moments. Through our lens, we aim to weave a narrative that goes beyond the visual, telling the unique story of your life in every frame. Your memories are not just images; they are cherished chapters in a captivating tale, and we consider it our privilege to craft these stories for you. Let us turn your moments into timeless treasures that you'll cherish for a lifetime. We edit our photographs to stay mostly true to color with a smidge of warmth and a bit of a moody vibe.
