Maura + Scott’s Wedding Photo Booth

Photo Booth with gold sequined backdrop, Funky props, © Krista Photography, Boston Wedding Photographers

Hi, Stephanie the Intern here! For my first assisting gig with CoCo, I got to run the PhotoBooth for Maura & Scott’s wedding! While the dance floor filled, and in-between plates of scrumptious chicken, steak, and cake, partygoers kept coming back for our sequined PhotoPooth in the corner of the venue hall. I don’t know if it was the crazy hats, feathered boas, or the gold sequined backdrop, but I think the guests enjoyed the opportunity to get a bit goofy in front of the camera for a change! Their smiles and dance moves were most definitely infectious!

Ariel + Joshua — Camp Wedding on Lake Ossipee, NH

Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!

The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)

Just a little excited ;)

Such a natural beauty!

Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…

I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!

LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!

And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!

This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!

LOVE these moments!

Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…

My view of the Ketubah signing from the other side of the table

Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!

In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.

RUNNING out the door!

An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!

“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)

This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!

Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!

A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!

Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!

Cristen captured these amazing moments!

This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)

The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!

Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!

More Josh awesomeness…

A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!

And a parting shot of the beautiful night sky above the tent! What a great night for a wedding!

Ariel + Joshua — New Hampshire Summer Camp Engagement Portraits

Oh yeah, this was SUCH a great engagement session!!! I met up with Ari & Josh in New Hampshire at Camp Cody on Lake Ossipee, where they would hold their wedding a few months later. It was such a beautiful and FUN place to shoot! They brought their dog with them and we tromped all over the campground taking pictures, splashing in the water, jumping over logs, dancing in the woods, and leaping out of canoes. This may be my favorite engagement session ever :)

Lake Ossipee engagement session

To start off, they’re gorgeous, and Ari’s dress is fabulous!

Haha, the pup couldn’t resist the lake!

Oh, not only are the beautiful… they are TOTAL goofballs!!! Woohoo!

Isn’t this place lovely?!

Lake Ossipee engagement session

Then it was time for a little costume change and an all-wine picnic :)

Then it was time for our favorite part of the day! The part where they get in a canoe and recreate their engagement on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal… and then jump out of the canoe!

It’s not the Himalayas, but it will certainly do!

Get ready! We’re gonna do it!

Even the pup knew what to do :)

The poor dog was just panicking, wanting to be with them but having a hard time swimming for so long! He kept getting out, running back down the pier and jumping into the water again! He just loves them so much, he had to be with them!!

I’m surprised I didn’t see more of this dance move at their reception… ;)

Not a bad way to the end the day!

See?! Wasn’t that awesome?! Ari & Josh – you guys are the best! Thank you for being so fun to work with, and such a joy to photograph!

Head on over to Facebook to see more of my favorites!

Katelyn & Evan Wedding – Granite Links Golf Club

Katelyn & Evan‘s wedding at the Granite Links Golf Club last summer was beautiful! Check out some of my favorites from their day…

Katelyn was gorgeous! I love that she embraced her curly locks instead of trying to tame them!! I think curly hair is beautiful, though I admit I’m a bit biased ;)

This crowd really loved to dance… always a bonus for me!!!

Halfway through the reception, Katelyn came out in amazing dress number TWO! I think it was my favorite of the two, but they were both so awesome, it’s hard to say…

The Great Giveaway – TOMORROW!

For the past 3 years, my church, GENESIS, has done an event every May called The Great Giveaway. Basically, it’s a HUGE yard sale where everything is FREE, and it’s pretty awesome! We believe that God is generous and He gives so much to us (provision, life, love, salvation, and abundant blessings), and that we are called to be generous as He’s been generous to us. So each year we collect thousands of items – clothing, furniture, electronics, books, toys, strollers, appliances, home decor, linens, and more – and we give them away to anyone who needs/wants them! Plus, we throw in some super fun stuff for the kids to do (even a bouncy house!!), and we feed everyone while we’re at it! Frankly, it’s the funnest day of the year, and I’m getting super excited for tomorrow!!!!!

Last year, everyone lined up and was waiting for it to begin, and when it did, they all RAN in to check it all out!

The kids LOVE it!

The grown ups have been known to have some fun too…

And it’s always fun to see people walking away with things they really NEED!!

This year we’ve got about THREE TIMES MORE stuff to giveaway than we did last year!!!! Check out more photos of what we’ve got in store on the Facebook invite here.

The Great Giveaway is TOMORROW, Saturday May 19th from 10am – 12pm at GENESIS church (16 Wheeling Ave, Woburn)

I hope you can stop by and check it out!!! Be sure to say HI – I’ll be the one walking around with a camera ;)

You can see more of the fun from last year’s Great Giveaway here. And check out my post about the first Great Giveaway here.

Kris & Erin’s Indiana Wedding

Earlier this summer, I had the chance to go back home to Indiana for some quality time with the fam, and to photograph my little cousin’s wedding. Kristopher has always been one of my favorites (ok, I probably say that about all my cousins, but still, it’s true) so when he asked me to shoot his wedding, I couldn’t say no! Kris is a comedian, a video producer, and a film maker. So naturally, they chose a theater as the backdrop for their wedding.

Kris and Erin got married at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana.

K is for Krista! Just kidding, their last name is Knight ;)

My uncle Kurt looking very handsome

Getting ready

This perfectly Kristopher photo was taken by my assistant, Kyle Peters

I love hand-written vows!!!

This theater was such a cool place for photos!! Doesn’t Erin look beautiful?!

Just before heading down the aisle

The ceremony took place on the stage. Stage lights on and house lights off made the photos very dramatic.

Kris cried like a baby during the ceremony ;) but there was also a LOT of laughter!

The Bridal Party in the balcony. The theater was GORGEOUS!

Even though it rained most of the day, the sun came out just in time for some photos!

I love that Erin’s up on her tip toes!

We had to take some more photos back inside because it was just too beautiful!

Kris & Erin had their first dance to Flight of the Conchords, “Most Beautiful Girl in the Room”… press play and enjoy!

They are really good dancers…

Their reception was a blast and all their friends were dancing like crazy. I could share SO many pics, but instead, I’ll just share this one of Kris dancing with our sassy Grandma. It makes me smile :)

And, here’s a little snapshot of my family. Looking at this I realized how much my sister looks like my Dad, and I look like my mom! I think when we were younger that was reversed. Funny how that happens as you grow up :)

Kris & Erin – I love you guys!! I’m so glad I could be there for your wedding! Now that you’re both living it up in NYC, you’ll have to come up to Boston for a visit :) I hope you love the photos!!
