Erin + Doug — Wedding at Boston’s Wang Theater

Oh, man! I don’t even know where to start with these guys! I met Erin & Doug last year when I photographed her brother, Kevin’s wedding – so I was absolutely thrilled when they chose me to photograph their wedding! It’s always such an honor to work with the same family again and again and to keep getting to know them as their family grows over time. Plus, I was doubly excited to be shooting a wedding at the Wang Theater – which is an insanely gorgeous venue. The whole day was beautiful – filled with love, and so so fun! Here are a handful of my favorites from the day!!!

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Laurie and Hakan were married at The Taj in Boston. It was chilly and the leaves were just barely changing color in the city. Their day was magical, the couple celebrated with their families from all over the world, and somehow they found THE one orange tree in the Public Gardens to shoot near :)

Let’s start out with Laurie, getting ready in her hotel suite.

The lovely Cristen Farrell was assisting Krista that day, and grabbed this, love the attention to detail. :)

Anne Ruthmann started with Hakan and his boys.

Off to the first look!

Love this!

Shot with Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 35mm film.

Cristen caught these little ladies goofing off, so cute!

Cristen shot from the balcony for this one. The ballroom was stunning!

Anne grabbed this of the happy couple!

I LOVE Laurie’s Mom’s face when she saw the room for the first time! Along with the photographers, she was stunned!

Here’s one of Cristen’s shots of the room, more of this on the next post (promise!), oh it was GORGEOUS!

Cristen grabbed this during their first dance, it was choreographed and everything!

Drinking out of BEAKERS? Is that allowed? :) The Maid of Honor’s toast was AWESOME!! Perfect for these two chemists, she even related their love to covalent bonds and all sorts of things we barely understood, and ended with a champagne toast from beakers… perfect!

Get down with your bad self, Hakan!

LOVE this from Cristen!

What a super fun day this was! Laurie and Hakan, you and your families were absolutely wonderful to work and party with! :) Thank you so much for inviting us in to document your love! Now don’t forget to come back Monday for their crazy beautiful details! And check out facebook for more :) See you Monday!

Leli + Tom — Downtown Boston Engagement

Krista met up with Leli & Tom for their Engagement Session down at the Boston Public Gardens, where they got engaged, awwwwwwww. They are the sweetest couple, very caring and loving with each other, and they couldn’t have picked a better day to romp around the city with Krista!

They started out on Commonwealth ave just outside the gardens… Isn’t Leli’s purple dress the cutest?

SO SWEET.

Make ’em snuggle and they’ll start to giggle, works every time! Love this series!

Then they headed over the footbridge to the river.

SUCH a gorgeous day! I can’t wait to have these evenings again!

Then a quick jaunt over to J.P.Licks for a handsome reward!

And a few more giggles…

LOVE these two. Come back Friday for their super fun wedding and photo booth!! Oh and check our their facebook album too!

Linan + Steven — Boston Public Gardens Engagement

Linan & Steven live out in California, so Krista didn’t even get to meet them until the week of their wedding! She was just excited that they were able to squeeze in a fun little engagement session during the craziness of the week. It was great to get to know them a bit, and see just how adorable they are together :) They shot around the Boston Public Gardens and on Commonwealth Ave before heading to Finale for some yummmmy desserts! So fun!

I love that Linan’s yellow dress pops out from the background!

They lucked out with some amazing light that day!

Seriously, I LOVE her adorable yellow dress, wait til you see her shoes too…

They brought some super fun props :) You look good in mustaches guys!

One of my faves, so so sweet.

Then over to Commonwealth Ave, that puppy seems super interested! :)

Do ya SEE the shoes, adorable!

Just sayin’, I think ALL engagements sessions should end at Finale… [um, so do I!! xo Krista]

Thanks for making time in your busy wedding week to do the engagement session you two!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back Friday for their intimate and stylish wedding! And in the mean time, sneak a peak over on facebook!

Liz + Pete — State Room Wedding

Liz & Pete were married at the State Room in downtown Boston. What a day! Krista and I hung out with the girls most of the morning and they were a complete riot, all of them having so much fun, and obviously just loving the time they got to spend together. The whole day proved to be just like that, a love fest, seriously. Liz & Pete have the most adoring and loving group of family and friends. It was the most wonderful atmosphere to be a part of. And WAIT til you see the dance party!

Ok so here we go, Krista and I started with Liz and her girls in their suite at The Ames Hotel, just a couple blocks from the State Room, its SO beautiful, a super fun space to shoot in with great light and really cool furniture! Here’s Liz reading a lovely note from Pete.

Don’t you love those robes she gave the girls?!

Anne Ruthmann, who we LOVE, started with Pete and his groomsmen in their suite at the Ames as well.

I grabbed this of Liz in those *awesome* windows.

HAH!

LOVE Pete’s face!

Give it a spin girl!

I grabbed this of Liz trying to figure out her veil, it was sooo long and beautiful.

And this too, they just couldn’t stop staring! :)

Then we were all ready to head down to the first look and Liz says, “Krista do youuuu wanna hold my lipgloss????” How could we refuse this girl?

Anne got Pete ready for the first look! So dashing in his bowtie!

Love Pete’s face in this shot from Anne! I think he was blown away!

We ran into this stairwell around the corner, Krista went upstairs and Anne grabbed this. I swear every inch of the Ames is interesting to photograph.

Krista rode with the couple to the Public Gardens, I’m amazed there isn’t anyone in the background of this shot!

Krista brought along a roll or two of Black and White film too, aren’t these two classic? Shot with Krista’s Holga on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/120 mm film.

And THIS with her Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Shoot girl!

Anne grabbed this of the bridal party after some family formals in the Gardens.

Then it was over to the enormous and stately Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

Another with the Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Married!

Then it was on to The State Room!

Love this pairing from Anne.

Another from Anne

This is also from Anne, of Liz and her dad dancing, while Liz’s sister Lauren sang.

Then it was party time!

In case you can’t tell, the dance floor was PACKED.

Liz was my hero on the dance floor.

Love BOTH sets of parents getting down!

Ya gotta throw the Bride and Groom around a bit to end the night!

I conveniently forgot to mention that even though I was taken out of the game with food poisoning halfway through the day, and Krista lost a flash (it tumbled to the floor) in the midst of the craziest dance party ever, Krista and I were incredibly grateful to have Anne Ruthmann along for the ride as well as the wonderful Cristen Farrell, who rescued and replaced me earlier in the night.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Liz & Pete, you two are unbelievably wonderful. Seriously.

See the rest of you on Friday for their classy pastel and grey details!
