Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Engagement Portraits

Cape Cod Engagement shoot

We shot Lori & Jim’s engagement session on the Cape, on a cold blustery Spring day.  We met up at her parents’ house and took a walk down to the beach.  Of course, they had to bring along their dog, Kayla!  I think she may have had the best time out of all of us!  It always amazes me that dogs will run in the ocean, even when it’s FREEZING!  Crazy little puppy!  Look at her go!

You’ve got to snuggle to stay warm sometimes!

After we warmed up in the house, we were ready for round two in the backyard – without coats even!  How much do you love this back yard?!

Lori & Jim, thank you for making the trip up to the Cape for our shoot!  It was fun hanging out with you guys and getting to know you a bit – cold or no!  Hard to believe it was ever cold when your wedding day was so perfectly lovely… but more about that in the next few posts!

Ariel + Joshua — New Hampshire Summer Camp Engagement Portraits

Lake Ossipee engagement session

Oh yeah, this was SUCH a great engagement session!!!  I met up with Ari & Josh in New Hampshire at Camp Cody on Lake Ossipee, where they would hold their wedding a few months later.  It was such a beautiful and FUN place to shoot!   They brought their dog with them and we tromped all over the campground taking pictures, splashing in the water, jumping over logs, dancing in the woods, and leaping out of canoes. This may be my favorite engagement session ever :)

To start off, they’re gorgeous, and Ari’s dress is fabulous!

Then it was time for our favorite part of the day!  The part where they get in a canoe and recreate their engagement on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal… and then jump out of the canoe!

The poor dog was just panicking, wanting to be with them but having a hard time swimming for so long!  He kept getting out, running back down the pier and jumping into the water again!  He just loves them so much, he had to be with them!!

I’m surprised I didn’t see more of this dance move at their reception… ;)

Meagan + Evan — Castle Island Sunrise Engagement – xo, CoCo

Sunrise on Castle Island (Boston) Engagement Session

I know I know, WHAT was I thinking agreeing to a sunrise engagement session? But I mean come on, how could you refuse such a cute couple, and a girl who was so passionate about LIGHT?! (You see, Meagan goes running on Castle Island every morning before work and had fallen in love with the light and the view of her city she gets every morning). This girl is my dream come true! The best part is, in the days leading up to our shoot Meagan’s fiance Evan was trying to look at the weather and see which morning would have the best color, so he tweeted a meteorologist to get his opinion! How sweet is he?! Despite the early hour, this shoot went off without a hitch, the light was gorgeous, Castle Island and the city were still sleeping and we had the run of the place!

I got together with Caitlin and Chris at their apartment in the South End. These two are complete goofballs and we had so much fun running around their fabulous neighborhood, and getting to know each other. We started off on their amazing roof deck with a sweet view!

Melanie + Ian — Backyard Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Springtime Engagement Session at home

There is something about these two that is just so natural and beautiful. Ian is a farmer by trade and a surfer as well (with a wicked farmer’s tan to boot)! ;) Melanie is a nurse and came to us from a very good friend of Krista’s. It was so fun to hang out with them at their house in “the country” (Woburn, haha) and at Ian’s parent’s house just down the road. A simple, sweet backyard engagement, that’s all you need!

Theresa + Kristin — Newburyport Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Newburyport Engagement Session

I met these two awesome ladies at their apartment in Newburyport, such a beautiful city with so much variety for shooting pictures, I’m so jealous they actually live there!  It was so much fun meeting their (MANY!) pets, checking out the nooks and crannies of Newburyport and seeing where they were engaged. Let’s start out on their front porch, the light was gorgeous!

Anna Kathryn + Joel — North End Engagement – xo, CoCo

Rockport MA Wedding

Hey everyone! Wedding season is ramping up over here at Krista Photography, and now that I’m DONE with our better-late-then-never posts, I have a little more room to show you some of my work!  This is Anna Kathryn (AK, as we call her) and Joel. Anna Kathryn does fabulous hair and Joel is a musician, they are both friends of Krista’s, and duh, they are insanely adorable. I shot their wedding in September 2011, oh my gosh, has it been TWO years, it feels like yesterday. Crazy! Anyways, about a month beforehand we got together on an otherwise dreary afternoon in downtown Boston. We started out near Berkelee College of Music where Joel went to school and romped around from there… Feast your eyes on these cuties!

 Horray!! It’s my very last better-late-then-never couple! I can’t believe it, just ONE MORE POST after this. What am I going to do when I don’t have to blog anymore?! Oh, that’s right blog all of our amazing NEW couples coming up next month, YES! But patience, good things come to those who wait.

Ok, here we go, meet Paul and Casey, some of the cutest people ever! These two romped all around Newport, RI with Krista one lovely evening. They caught some gorgeous light, found some really cute spaces, and had a fantastic time! I also must commend Casey’s color choice, I LOVE a guy in neutral and a girl in a gorgeous pop of color. They look great!
