Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends!  And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby!  And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend!   You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago.  Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world.  They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly.  And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture!  :)

Poor Kayak!  She has no idea just how much life is going to be changing!  Isn’t she a beautiful dog?

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette??  I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!).  :)

Laurie + Hakan — Wedding Album

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in on Laurie and Hakan’s very last post! Here’s a sneak peak into their amazing Queensberry 12×12 Matted Duo album! This thing is GORGEOUS. Lets start out with their whole little package: album, parent album, and disc of images. Wouldn’t you love to come into the studio and see this waiting for you?

They chose wisely and got this luxurious cover fabric that catches the light so amazingly, hard to translate in a photo sadly….

Here are few of my favorite pages from the design.

The Duo album allows for your pictures to bleed all the way to the edge while still being surrounded by their gorgeous mats.

Ok now onto the reception. These flowers by Columbine Florist were absolutely stunning – rich hues of red, orange, dark purple, and green made these the PERFECT autumnal arrangements. And the crew from Boston Uplighting did an incredibly meticulous job lighting each and every centerpiece. Really amazing work.

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Wedding at The Taj Boston

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.

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!
