I’m so excited to interrupt the schedule of better-late-than-never posts to bring you the lovely Rachel and Jon, my FIRST wedding as an Associate for Krista Photography! Wahoo!

Rachel and Jon are good friends of Krista’s so I was simultaneously super nervous and truly honored and excited to document their love! These two are complete sweethearts, fun-loving, gracious and all together wonderful. They were married on an otherwise gloomy January day at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA. Rachel and Jon and their entire bridal party were such troopers! They braved the cold for their First Look and for some portraits and I was SO grateful, even though it was seriously GRAY out there! Thanks a lot New England :)

OK, here’s Rachel, isn’t she so cute?!

Rachel’s gorgeous dress! It was perfect for her!

Allana Taranto joined Krista and I, and hung out with me long enough to shoot some AWESOME ring shots for me :)

Amanda, one of Rachel’s bridesmaids, isn’t she killer?!

Love these two from Krista as Rachel got into her dress.

Everyone needs adoring bridesmaids like this :)

Allana ran and met up with Jon as he got ready as well.

Krista followed behind Rachel on her way to her First Look with her groom!

Allana stayed back to grab this.

Cuties!

Champions!

Watching the flower girls… LOVE!

The next few are form Allana, she circled around while I stayed in the aisle.

Here’s my view.

SO glad we had these two hang out by this cool wall! This is Krista’s.

And mine.

Making it “official!”

This is seriously my favorite… haha!

Allana’s…

Krista stayed back a bit during the toasts, I love seeing the Christmas lights outside!

Allana got this nice moment…

Aaaaannnnd seconds later I got this! YES.

Time to get DOWN! (Allana’s as well).

This girl was so amazing!

And one last portrait I snuck in before we were done for the night…I mean COME ON.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Rachel and Jon, and all your wonderful friends and family. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other at PLENTY of other weddings :)
