Ziva + Jonah — Spring Valley Country Club Wedding

Ziva and Jonah were married on a strangely warm November day, just as they had predicted. And just as WE predicted their day was filled with some wonderful emotional moments. Ziva and Jonah were both surrounded by a ton of friends and family who all seemed so incredibly honored to be a part of their special day. It was wonderful to witness, from the traditional and emotional bedekken and tisch ceremonies to the CRAZY dance party, it was such an amazing day! It was exactly their style: simple, heartfelt, classic, and emotional. Love them!

Krista and I started out with Ziva at her parents beautiful old house in Brookline.

I grabbed this downstairs while the girls were busy…

Ziva reading the sweetest note from Jonah.

Then we all headed over to the country club to finish getting dressed

I can’t get enough of her beautiful sister and mother! They are so sweet!

Some of my favorite family formals. Ever.

A little toast before the Bedekken started!

And here’s the wonderful Ben Schaefer’s shot of Jonah during his Tisch.

Love this graphic shot from Ben as well.

The girls were having a lot of fun at Ziva’s Bedekken, I love having all the generations together like that!

Three more from Ben at the Tisch.

This is my favorite part! Ben’s shot of Jonah approaching the bride.

And another from Ben of the boys celebrating.

Ziva’s moment with her dad is so precious.

The next two are mine, first Ziva with her soon to be mother-in-law.

The light was so cool!

And then onto the ceremony! Absolutely LOVE this moment!

Here’s mine of Jonah, all smiles.

The new Mr. and Mrs.!

She is just RADIANT!

Here’s my view.

I grabbed this as they walked back to join their guests.

Not soon afterwards, it was a serious dance party ya’ll!

Haha! I love Ben’s face in the back!!

Here’s mine of Ziva and her mom, so fun!

Ben, genius.

Jonah did the best rap/toast for Ziva.

Ziva + Jonah — Brookline Engagement Session

Krista calls her engagement sessions “Day-in-the-life” engagement sessions for a reason, she wants to express what your real life is like! Where you live, where you got engaged, things you do, how you act around each other, or the stupid stuff you laugh about… all the things that make your relationship REAL.

Well Ziva & Jonah’s engagement session was just that, a snapshot of their lives. Krista and these two adorable people started at Ziva’s parents’ house, they went for a walk around the nearby reservoir, had a quick outfit change, then stopped by Jonah’s parents’ house, and checked out the pond down the street. SO simple. SO perfect. All you really need are two people in love and BOOM. Real. Pictures.

Here they are in Ziva’s parents’ beautiful old house in Brookline, where she later got ready for her wedding :)

We love random strangers in our pictures :)

And then for a quick costume change!

SOOOOOO cute!

Aren’t they adorable?? Get on over to Facebook to see some more of these two cuties, and we’ll see you Friday for their wedding!

Christine + Randy — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding

Christine & Randy were married at a beautiful and quaint Acton Congregational Church, and later celebrated surrounded by so much family and loving friends at The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. It was the PERFECT Fall day, not too cold, fluffy white clouds in the sky, and those leaves! You’ll see that her details were so perfectly Fall as well, dark reds, oranges, and blues everywhere, and the cutest granny smith apple place cards!

Krista and I started with the girls while they got ready at Gibbet Hill, I ran around outside for some sunny details to set the scene.

I grabbed this while Christine was getting ready, there were some seriously cute little girls running around!

They had a really fun and swanky car to drive to the church in!

Our lovely friend Anne Ruthmann started with Randy and the boys at the church.

Christine’s brother and his son…. SO CUTE.

The girls arrived and hung out “backstage…”

These girls took their job very seriously.

I caught Randy’s expression as the doors opened… priceless.

Love a bubble exit!

The dark blue and purple are so great with the orange and red!

We had just the tiniest bit of sunlight to shoot some portraits back at the Barn, love how the red looks with Christine’s flowers!

The Barn is always sooooo beautiful and warm.

Christine’s parents, brother and sister-in-law gave the MOST beautiful and heartfelt speeches. I was totally crying!!

Uummmmm, that’s a really big piece of cake!

And then came the best dancing ever! Walk like an egyptian!

Woohoo! What a wonderful time we had with you guys! Thank you both and your wonderful families for letting us be a part of it!

Melissa + Tyler — Methuen Memorial Music Hall Wedding

Melissa & Tyler’s wedding was held at the gorgeous Methuen Memorial Music Hall, followed by a reception at the Castleton Banquet Center. Melissa and her Mom Adrienne worked so hard to make everything look fabulous and put a lot of time and energy into all the details. With a ton of sweet little kids, she had SEVEN flower girls, and so so so many supportive friends there to celebrate, the room was filled with so much love, we were honored to be a part of it!

Krista and I were hanging out with the ladies as they got ready, when a beautiful package from Tyler arrived…. ok crying now…

Our favorite, Allana Taranto, started with the dudes, as they insisted on a BeeGees album cover shot :)

Just can’t stop with the bling!

Melissa’s brother’s gift, custom “Suit Up” shot glass….

Good thing they got to practice…. :)

Uh oh, flower girl meltdown.

I mean, this place is INSANE!

LOVED Melissa’s bridesmaid palette, so bright and fun, eventhough this little girl may not think so…

They were so smart and had coloring books, and all sorts of stuff to keep the kids busy during the ceremony!

Love this from Allana of Tyler’s mom.

These two have some seriously talented friends, music all day!

Awww, that “hey, we’re married” moment.

Cutest brother ever!

I was serious guys, SEVEN glower girls, each one cuter than the next.

Then out into the grounds for some portraits!

Seriously, this girl is loved.

When everyone arrived at Castleton for the reception, we had to wrangle the girls for a couple pictures… they were having so much fun.

The light was GORGEOUS!

Melissa surprised Tyler with a tattoo of his initials!

Melissa and her mom put SO much work into the details, there was something colorful and fun around every corner!

I love a bride who can cry a bit :)

Yes, Tyler, you are a super hero :)

LOVED their cake table, they eventually had a KILLER ice cream bar too!

Always a fan of a bride who can get down!

Thank you both for being so wonderful, and to your friends and family for welcoming us into your celebration! Love you guys!!

Melissa + Tyler — Vintage Camping Engagement Session

For their engagement session, Melissa got super crafty for their vintage camping picnic in the woods – followed by a trip to the North End. It was totally fun, even though it was the muggiest, buggiest day you could imagine (we even hit a brief storm in the middle of our drive downtown)! But we still had a great time hanging out, talking theology over chicken parm, diving into some famous Mike’s Pastries, and ya know, taking some pictures too :)

Stop being so cute!!!

One of my faves, these guys are so cute, and Melissa, your eyes!!

Haha, nerds!

mmmm, a good end to any shoot!

Sarah + Dave — Renaissance Golf Club Wedding

Sarah & Dave’s wedding at the Renaissance Golf Club was threatened with rain all day, and with an outdoor ceremony they could have been freaking out! Sarah was so relaxed though, it was amazing! I mean she had two other dresses she could change into if it came to that… :) Luckily, the skies were dry and everything was just as they’d hoped. It was absolutely lovely – the ceremony was teary, I love a bride who isn’t afraid to cry! The dance floor was bumpin’, and the whole day was filled with the undying support and love of their family and friends, and super cute little kids :) Congratulations you two!

Krista started out with the ladies at Salon Eva Michelle on Newbury Street!

Love this from Jae Ruberto of Dave getting his hair done!

So dapper!

A good view of all three, yes THREE dresses that Sarah wore!

She’s so excited!!

Ya know sometimes a golf cart is the best place for a portrait…

Aren’t they adorable!?

A quiet moment before the madness :)

See! It’s ok to cry!

Absolutely LOVE the petals.

Aaaand onto my favorite dress!

Quick spin through the cocktail hour…

And on to the next! This girl was good!

Yes.

YES!

Krista shot Sarah & Dave’s engagement session in late Summer.

Check out Sarah’s adorable color palette and eclectic accessories, more of that in their wedding post on Wednesday!
