Elena & Dan’s Wedding – The Details

Krista Guenin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:31:37 +0000

Dan & Elena‘s wedding at The Crane Estate was so beautiful! I’d never shot there before and was just blown away by how gorgeous it is! Between the stellar location, and the fabulous flowers and details by Kate Parker, I figured I’d share a few more images from their day!

The dark purple dresses, with the deep red roses gave everything a very dramatic look. (some images in this collage by Shannon)

Elena and Dan are huge sports fan, so all of their tables were named after championship winning teams, and guests received tickets instead of table numbers. It was such a cool way to take this fancy, dramatic wedding and make it also very personal and fitting. (some images in this collage by Ned & Shannon)

Sara & Steve’s Wedding – Gerrish Island, Maine

Sara & Steve‘s wedding was planned to be outdoors at Sara’s parents’ home by the ocean up in Maine. But the day ended up being a wet one… I mean, it did not stop raining for a moment all day! They didn’t let it ruin anything though – the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a marvelous time!

The day started at the Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth as everyone got ready. There were some great moments as the anticipation grew!

My assistant, Elizabeth, captured this shot of Steve’s daughter with Sara

Sara was just glowing!

The rain couldn’t take the smile off of her face!

Sara’s flowers were gorgeous! Her mom did all the floral design, and it was so fabulous, there will be a whole separate post for the details!

Since the ocean view was out of the question for the portraits, we had to get creative. The porch ended up being an excellent replacement, and with the help of Elizabeth and an umbrella we were able to give them some space for some naturally relaxed portraits.

My FAVORITE!

First Dance

I love the faces of everyone in the background in this one ;)

Steve’s kids were a big part of the day’s festivities…

Ugh, he’s such a cutie!

Sara & Steve – thank you so much for having us there to document your day! It ended up being such a lovely wedding, and such a fun party! I’m so glad you didn’t let the rain get you down :) I hope you love the photos!!

When I first moved out to Boston a couple of years ago, I worked for the wonderful and talented Matt & Enna Grazier. I remember clearly my first day, sitting down at the computer and browsing their website. I clicked on Portraits and stumbled across some beautiful photos of a beautiful pregnant women. But, not just any pregnant woman, this was Rhetta! Rhetta was one of my brides back in 2004 when I was an Associate for Real Life Weddings in Chicago. What a small world, huh?!

Two years later, come to find out, Rhetta is pregnant again, and looking to have some more photos taken, by me! I was totally thrilled to see her and Bill again, and to meet their darling daughter Hannah! We met up at the Arnold Arboretum and took a stroll among the changing leaves…

Hannah

What kid doesn’t love this?!

There are those leaves I was talking about…

I just love the look on Hannah’s face! And apparently rubbing her earlobe is Hannah’s thing. I love it when I can catch a kid being completely themselves – doing that thing that makes them, them.

Rhetta & Bill are so cute – just as in love as the last time I saw them!

The happy family :)

A few photos of Rhetta and her belly… Isn’t she gorgeous!

I love this one of Rhetta & Bill because as I was taking their picture Hannah said or did something cute and they both turned to look. I love their smiles as they watch their little girl.

Are you kidding me with that adorable grin?!

Hannah wanted me to smell the pretty flower :)

And Daddy too, of course!

There she goes with that ear again :)

A few fun shots of Hannah and her Dad

And Hannah with her Mom

She really is too cute!

And now, just for fun, a few photos from Bill & Rhetta’s wedding! It’s still one of my favorites from the Real Life Weddings days. And yes, this wedding was shot almost entirely in black & white film!!

Rhetta & Bill, it was SO great to see you again! Hannah is a doll and I can’t wait to meet little Sophie Grace!!

Celeste & Troy’s Wedding!

So, Cabo was great – but the real reason I was there, was to photograph (and attend) my cousin, Celeste’s wedding. She and Troy are a fun couple, and have a gorgeous little boy named Aiden. It was so awesome getting to be there – the whole weekend was just amazing! I’m so thankful that they made me part of it all!!!

This is Celeste, Troy & Aiden walking around Cabo on our way to our sunset cruise the night before the wedding. Aren’t they cute?? :)

Celeste helping Aiden get ready…

Our Aunt Bethie gave Celeste our Great-Grandmother Celesta’s ring as her something-old and something-borrowed. This ring was given to Grandma Guenin by Grandpa Guenin like 100 years ago, before they were married. Celeste and I never got to meet Grandma Guenin, but since she’s Celeste’s namesake and all – it was pretty special.

Celestey looking beautiful…

This was the setting of the ceremony and reception – it was gorgeous!

Little Aiden again – he’s just so cute!!

Here’s the whole fam!! Well, at least everyone who could come :) We missed the rest of you guys!!

Celeste & Troy enjoying being newlyweds…

It was so fun! And the best part was that after dinner, the hotel was having karaoke night right next to us – so we got to keep having fun, with microphones in our hands :) I’m an admitted karaoke-junkie so I thought it was pretty sweet! No one needs to see those photos though… ;)

Thanks again Celeste & Troy!!! I love you guys!!
