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?!
