Featured Weddings

In the last few weeks it’s been very fun and pretty exciting to see a bunch of my weddings featured on some awesome wedding blogs!

Elena & Dan’s wedding was featured on Beantown Bride this week. Beantown Bride is a great new site for local Boston Brides, I’m excited to be a part of it!

Megan & Mike’s wedding was featured on WeddingWire. Coincidentally, I saw all three of Megan’s bridesmaids that week! So fun!

and Britt & Mike’s wedding was also featured on WeddingWire!

I’m honored to have my work featured on both of these excellent resources! It’s really very exciting and a little overwhelming!

Featured Wedding on Beantown Bride!

My friend and fellow photographer, Brittany Blando, recently launched a great new wedding resource for planning luxury weddings in and around Boston, called Beantown Bride. Martha Stewart Weddings even twittered about it the other day, so you know it’s good if Martha likes it ;) It is a fabulous blog, full of great local inspiration and I was very excited when they asked to feature Liana & James’ wedding! The article was just released, so head over here and check it out!!

Boston Weddings Magazine

If you remember Elizabeth and Ryan’s wedding from early this summer, you’ll know how absolutely gorgeous it was! It was just such a beautiful day and they have been such a wonderful couple to work with! So, I was super excited when the editor of the Boston Weddings magazine called to talk with me about publishing their wedding in the Spring/Summer 2010 edition!! Eeek! Talk about excited!

I didn’t want to mention it until it was official – you know, just in case. But the edition came out not too long ago, so I guess it’s ok to share now!

Eek! I’m so excited for my first publication!! Go out and pick up a copy! Or, go here and read it online :)

Also, I’d like to note that Images #4 & #9 were shot by my 2nd shooter, Mark Higgins, and image #8 was shot by my assistant, Elizabeth Hannah. The photo credit should have read Krista Photography instead of Krista Guenin – every wedding is a TEAM effort!!!

Welcome to my fancy new blog!!

[this post will remain at the top for a little while, so please scroll down to see some newer posts!]

I have been dreaming and working for months and months to get myself a fancy new blog of my very own. My friend Ashley of Pixel Lily has worked tirelessly with me to make it just what I was hoping for, and more. I LOVE how it turned out and am SO excited to share it with you all at last! Please take a look around and let me know what you think!! I hope you love it too :)

I’m a feedback junky

Well, I’m finally back from a wonderful vacation back home in Indiana! It was a great trip, and hopefully I’ll get around to blogging about it before next year’s trip ;) For now, I’ve got about 100 emails to go through and about 45,000 images to edit. No big deal, should be done by the end of the day… ha! Maybe not.

I just wanted to post and let you all know I’m alive and back to work. And, I just had to share this sweet message I got from Shoshanna’s mom…

“I’ve been meaning to write for the last week but I knew you were on vacation…I hope it was relaxing and fun. The photos are beautiful! I find myself looking at them every day and I always see something I haven’t noticed before. We are all very happy with them. You really captured the spirit of the day.”

Totally made my day!

Ok, now back to the Inbox… :)

Article on OneWed’s Savvy Scoop Blog!

Krista Guenin — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:55:00 +0000

A while back, I was contacted by OneWed.com to write an article for their new Savvy Scoop Blog. I had lots of ideas for an article, but one in particular kept coming to mind. So many brides out there are looking for photographers and have no idea why we’re all priced so differently, so I figured I’d tackle that first. Check out the article and let me know what you think!!!

And if you’re one of my brides and can take a minute to leave a review for me on my OneWed listing, that’d be super awesome! But, only if you have something nice to share ;) Haha, only kidding!!

oooooh! I just checked in on one of my new favorite photoblogs, and look what I found….

YAY! SO exciting!! :D

Exciting news!

A month or two ago, I applied to the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). The WPJA is a great organization of photographers, and I’d heard it was incredibly difficult to get in because they’ve got some pretty strict regulations. Even as I looked them over, I was wondering if I really qualified. I mean, as far as photojournalism goes – photoshopping images isn’t really cool – and I do like my Photoshop… So, after a few weeks without hearing back, I assumed that I’d been rejected. But, then a couple of weeks ago I got this in my Inbox…

“It is our pleasure to inform you that after having reviewed your web site and image portfolio, we agree your beautiful work meets the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association membership requirements! We hope you accept this invitation as we look forward to having you as a new member.“

I am SO EXCITED! “The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA is a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. The [AG]WPJA is a division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA); one which specifically promotes Fine Art Wedding Photojournalism.” That’s exactly how I like to describe my work, and it’s honestly a much better fit for me than the straight-up WPJA. Massachusetts currently has only 12 photographers in the [AG]WPJA, so it’s an incredible honor to be included amongst some of my favorite local photographers (i.e. the Graziers and Anne Ruthmann)!! Pretty cool, huh?!

And to top it off, yesterday I applied for and was accepted as a founding member of Modern Photographers, which is going to be a new site for brides created by the folks behind Trash The Dress and Don’t Box Us In. This is the twitter I got from Mark Eric… “Hey Krista, you’re work is stellar. You would be a welcome member. :) Pre-approved.” YAY!!!!!!!!! Go over there and check it out, I’m listed in the header of the site – along with a few other amazing photographers from around the country!!!

Ok, that’s enough tooting my own horn! It’s just pretty exciting to get some encouragement from your peers!

Now, if any of you brides want to toot my horn for me… I’m listed on a few bride sites and would love to get your reviews!!! Click any of the links below. As much as I love feedback from my peers, it’s the opinion of my brides that really matters to me!!

toot toot! ok, really, now I’m done! ;-)

Off to New York City!

Krista Guenin — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:09:00 +0000

Well, I’m off on another little adventure! Or, a business trip, depending on your perspective :) I’m heading down to New York City tonight for the PDN PhotoPlus Expo for the next few days. I’ll be wandering around a giant trade show, listening to amazing speakers, hanging out with old friends, connecting with new friends, meeting with a potential client, and possibly doing a family portrait session. All this, and then down to Newport, RI for a wedding on Sunday! Shwew! It should be a great trip!

I have a TON of stuff to edit and blog about when I get home. A wedding, a bat-mitzvah, another wedding, another bat-mitzvah, an awesome family portrait session, another wedding, and then some! I won’t able to do much editing while I’m away, but I should be able to respond to emails at least once a day. If you need to get in touch with me, please call! And if you’re a photographer who wants to meet up at PhotoPlus, let me know!!

peace out ;)
