Lillie + Colin — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding

Lillie and Colin were married at the Harvard Faculty Club in Harvard Square, which is such a beautiful old building with so much character. The weather was fine, the celebration was joyous, the bride was perfectly nervous (and gorgeous), what more could you ask for?!

Krista and I started with the bride in a beautiful room upstairs at the Faculty Club, the wallpaper is amazing in there!

This is mine of one of Lillie’s beautiful bridesmaids.

Dream team member Allana Taranto started out with Colin and his guys down the hall. :)

Lillie was featured on the TLC’s I Found the Gown for her stunning dress.

Oh, moms! You are so cute!!

Colin waited at the bottom of these gorgeous stairs to see his bride!

I grabbed this as Lillie made her way down.

The next two are from Allana.

We then snuck away for some portraits, here’s Allana’s view.

And Krista’s.

The grounds of the Faculty Club are magical, something beautiful around every corner and at every angle!

The bridal party was waiting around the corner! Creepers :)

Don’t they look great?!

Then it was off to the Ketubah signing and Bedekken!

A little pre-ceremony prep. :)

This is mine from the front of the aisle.

Oh, Dad!

Wait. We’re married?!

Allana grabbed this as the Bride and Groom were introduced.

There were about a dozen toasts at the reception. Seriously. But honestly, it was kind of amazing. The Bride and Groom introduced each speaker, and it was so touching to hear the different things everyone had to say about the happy couple.

This is mine from my favorite toast of the night.

Then Lillie’s dad brought the house down!

I grabbed this during their super sweet choreographed first dance.

The next two are Allana’s of the Hora!

This one is mine.

And mine as well.

Well that’s all folks! What a lovely day it was! Thank you Lillie and Colin for being so fantastic and letting us capture this day for you! It was such a pleasure.

Everyone check back on Friday for their classy details! And read even more about the wedding on Lillie’s blog!

Meredith + John — Lyman Estate Wedding Details

Meredith and John, when I think about your wedding details I think soft, romantic, and for some reason the word blushing comes to mind. Maybe Meredith was just that perfect blushing bride. Let’s start with her and her dress. Absolutely RADIANT.

Her hair was just so romantic and feminine.

Her dress fit her like a GLOVE.

The boys boutonnieres were such a nice little touch too!

I love the POP of those coral dresses.

SUCCULENTS! Yes! These flowers were stunning.

The chuppa was also gorgeous.

There is one word for the Lyman Estate, stately, inside and out.

Every Summer wedding should have Arnold Palmers!

The reception was pretty much a big house party, people danced like crazy and when they got tired, meandered through all the different rooms of the house.

And we’ll finish with a stunning long exposure of the front facade of the estate, LOVE.

Thanks for taking a look! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We have these wonderful people to thank for it!

Meredith + John — Lyman Estate Wedding

Meredith and John were married on a gorgeous summer’s day at the Lyman Estate in Waltham, MA. This beautiful historic house was the perfect location for their classy and beautifully styled day. The girls wore coral, the guys wore grey and green. This beautiful and gracious couple was just soaking up all the love and support around them all day. It was such a wonderful thing to witness.

So let’s start with Krista and her assistant Marc Beaulieu, they started with Meredith as she got ready in an upstairs room at the Lyman Estate. The rooms are just so perfectly old-time New England.

I started out with John and his boys while they were maxin’ and relaxin’.

Doesn’t he clean up good?!

The couple did a First Look on the staircase.

This is Marc’s view.

This one is mine, love the woodwork in that place!

Krista and I saw this field of wildflowers as we drove up to the house and fell in love with it.

A little behind the scenes action!

Those DRESSES!

Ok ceremony time! Wasn’t the lawn gorgeous?

I LOVE that even though the couple had a First Look, Meredith was still TOTALLY crying as she met John in the aisle. SO SWEET. These next two are mine, and my absolute faves from the day.

Then it was cocktails time on the lawn, with Arnold Palmers for everyone!

They did their toasts outside as well. This one of Meredith’s dad is mine.

Then it was straight inside for some klezmer music from Meredith’s family! It was so fun!

The next two are mine.

Love this of John and his mom!

Then it was all dancing, all the time! That room was packed!

This kid was cracking me up!

One more collective “AAawwwww…” for these two. I think the photos speak for themselves as to how joyous an occasion this was. Thank you both and your wonderful families and friends for letting us be there!

Check out facebook for more and you will NOT want to miss their details post on Friday. Seriously, ya’ll! See you then!

Linan + Steven — Hyatt Harborside Wedding

Linan & Steven got married at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston on a lovely but windy day – isn’t it always windy down there? So many friends and family came in from all over the world for this wedding, and everyone was clearly thrilled to be there! Even though most of the day everyone was speaking Mandarin, Krista and her Shooting Assistant Peter Morse had a really great time! Sometimes a camera is the only language you need! Shout out to Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings for helping to translate throughout the day, you were a huge help!

As you saw in their engagement, this girl knows how to choose shoes, her wedding shoes were no exception! The wonderful Peter Morse hung out with Krista for the day and grabbed this.

Linan looked absolutely flawless.

Steven, the most cheerful groom ever, also from Peter.

It sure was windy ya’ll!

Practicing the first dance! Always a good idea :)

Krista had a little competition for the day, haha!

Super sweet flower girl!

Another from Peter.

Absolutely LOVE that necklace.

Peter grabbed this detail of the stunning tables. I just love how clean and simple they are!

The RED is so striking.

They did a really beautifully choreographed dance, here’s Krista’s view:

And Peter’s:

Someone was a wee bit curious about the cake!

The Linan and Steven and their parents a had a little company on the dance floor!

Some guests really wanted a picture with Peter!! Haha you were a hit buddy :)

And the cap it off, Krista set up her tripod at the end of the night for this awesome long exposure of the city.

Thank you both Linan and Steven for being so wonderful and letting Krista document this wonderful day for you. And thank you to these wonderful people for making it all happen flawlessly! Check out facebook for more and we’ll see ya Monday for the next contestant!

Stephanie + Mark — Searles Castle Wedding

Stephanie and Mark’s fairytale wedding was at the lovely Searles Castle in Windham, NH. Stephanie had clearly been planning this wedding in her mind for forever. She had an amazingly branded wedding, with beautiful celtic and renaissance inspirations everywhere, and man did they have a great dance party! Of course it didn’t hurt that pretty much everyone there were Krista’s friends, so even she and I got to dance! (More of that later…)

Krista and I started with Stephanie and her girls upstairs at the castle, the light was beautiful up there!

Love her cascading curls.

I grabbed this while Steph’s dress was being laced up.

Mark gave her a gorgeous necklace before the ceremony.

Stephanie’s grandmother sewed the final stich on her dress, it was such a sweet moment!

The fabulous Matt Grazier grabbed this detail before the ceremony

Matt also hung out with Mark and his boys as they got ready down the hall.

Stephanie was so brave and rode a gorgeous Clydesdale horse to meet her groom! It was a first for me!

Matt was at Mark’s side for this shot.

I grabbed this from the back, those trees were awesome!

Ya think he’s a little excited?!

Love that after the ceremony moment :)

Awwwww…

Sassy!

Krista and I and the Bride and Groom snuck away to shoot some portraits afterwards.

Here’s Krista’s view of Steph and mark on this gorgeous stone bridge…

…and here’s mine!

Love the dusty miller in her flowers! I had that in my bouquet!

Matt grabbed these of the tent and place cards, everything was set up so beautifully!

This is mine of the guest book complete with quill and ink!

First dance time! This one is mine, love those teary eyes in the background.

This is Matt’s of this Irish dance routine, it was amazing! I mean just her costume alone is incredible!

YEA! Matt’s as well.

This shot was Matt’s idea. Winner!

Let the partying begin! Also from Matt.

This one is mine of the groom gettin’ down!

Matt was all over the dance floor while Krista got to dance with some of her friends! Who could resist? The next five are from Matt.

I gotta dance sometimes too ya know?!

Here’s a couple sweet long exposures!

Pretty proud of my expert sparkler waving skills.

And a beautiful sparkler sendoff to end the night!

Woohoo! What an amazing day it was you two! Thank you to everyone for sharing your joy with us. I know it was extra special for Krista to be able to do this for such dear friends. We wish you all the best!

Stephanie + Mark — Minuteman National Park Engagement

Krista met up with her friends Mark & Stephanie a couple times for their engagement session… They were really excited to shoot with the horses Stephanie is so passionate about but it turns out Mark is a wee bit allergic… So they got together again at Minuteman National Park a few weeks later, sans horses. Which was MUCH more successful :)

Here’s a few from the first attempt :)

Steph’s rings is AMAZING!

They kept up the goofing around at Minuteman a few weeks later, the light was GORG!

Mark has a sweet motorcycle they wanted to incorporate into their shoot, so shiny huh?!

Yes! we love cowboy hats!

Thank you two for sticking in there and letting Krista capture this for you, twice! It was such a pleasure.

Don’t forget to check in on Monday for their wedding! And head over to facebook in the mean time for more!

Bethany + Joe — Boston Harbor Hotel Wedding

If Bethany & Joe are sneaking up on you, it’s because Krista didn’t actually get to shoot an engagement session for them. Both of them are in the military and were living out of state at the time, and we just were never in the same state at the same time until the day before the wedding! Engagement sessions are normally SO important to helping us make great pictures of you on wedding day. But thankfully Bethany & Joe are so adorable that we just COULDN’T take a bad picture of them if we tried :)

Krista and Cristen started out at the church with Bethany as she got ready before the ceremony. Love Bethany’s greens shoes.

I hung out with Joe at the church. Their boutonnieres were cotton blossoms, a nod to Bethany’s Georgia roots.

Joe sent Bethany the sweetest present, a book of poems!

Cristen grabbed this of the cute little flower girls helping Bethany get dressed

This is Cristen’s, Bethany’s mom is killing me!

I grabbed this of the groomsmen waiting at the front of the church. [One of Krista’s favorites!!]

These two are mine from the front of the church.

Her veil took my breath away. it was even more beautiful in person!

This is also mine of Bethany’s dad during the ceremony.

So happy!

Bethany and her gorgeous girls!

These guys were such troopers! It was freezing outside!

HAHA!

Cristen and I ran to the reception at the Boston Harbor Hotel to grab some details, these place cards were so beautiful.

The calligraphy was so delicate and pretty!

Bethany ran and changed into another super fun dress, here’s my view of their first dance.

And Krista’s…

There were toasts…

And some seriously beautiful tears…

I also sat by the groom during Bethany’s dad’s toast… haha!

Bethany and her dad!! Dang they’re cute!

Joe’s dad and brother were so sweet! They could barely hold it together…

I was so proud of their cake smash! Joe was too obviously… :)

YES.

Bethany’s dad’s suspenders were AWESOME.

Bling bling!

And a sweet slow dance shot from me to cap it all off.

Thank you Bethany and Joe! We all had the most wonderful time documenting your day! It was so wonderful to see how surrounded by love and support you are. Seriously. SO MUCH.

Suze + Jeremy – Steele Hill Resort Wedding

Seeing as how Krista is very good friends with this lovely bride, I’m just going to quote her for a second…

“It’s an awesome thing to get to photograph your friends :) I’ve known Suze for almost 6 years now, exactly as long as I’ve lived in Massachusetts. She was one of my first friends here. We’ve been in bible studies together, sang together on the worship team at church, prayed together, talked a lot about relationships and love, and she’s even assisted me at a couple of weddings! It’s been so cool to watch over the last year since she started dating Jeremy – to see them challenge & encourage one another, and now to celebrate with them as they begin the rest of their life together. And I was doubly blessed to get to photograph their wedding day!”

That was obviously written right after their wedding because now (almost) a year later Suze and Jeremy are expecting their first child and we could not be more excited for them!

Now for wedding day, Krista and I started out with Suze as she got ready in her suite at the Steele Hill Resort. The bride and groom were desperately hoping for a beautiful snowy New England day. The scenery was GORGEOUS, but not snowy… So like their engagement session we just had to make the most of it, and boy did we!! We ended up with about two hours to run around town and take pictures of these cuties before the ceremony, which was super fun! The results of which you’ll see in a minute :)

Here’s Suze coiffing on wedding day.

Allana started with Jeremy as he got dressed up in his swank suit.

After all the makeup and hair Suze sat with her family and pastor (Krista’s brother-in-law) to pray before the ceremony.

Here’s mine of the dress dance :)

Loved her classic accessories.

Jeremy looked very dapper in Allana’s shot.

Also from Allana.

Here’s mine from far away.

Then off for more portraits! Love Jeremy’s reflection.

First up, this beautiful tree with a great view of lake Winnisquam, where the kind people at The Lake House at Ferry Point let us use their outlook, and their backyard :)

Here’s Allana’s view.

HAHA.

Don’t you LOVE that shawl??

Allana made them go over here and grabbed this, nice job lady :)

Then we ran around in the backyard by this pretty fence, another from Allana

Then we borrowed someone else’s driveway for a minute…

Here’s my view.

Then down the street to this perfect New England church.

goofballs!

And across the street for some of my favorites. LOVE this from Allana.

WHEW! That was fun. Ok now onto the ceremony, I can’t believe there’s more wedding!

Yes, that is Krista’s nephew, to the right of Suze’s dad, dabbing fake tears off his face with a tissue… so funny!

I found this cutie not paying much attention to the wedding… :)

Well, at least they got SOME snow…

I grabbed this of Suze parents during their family formals… so dang cute!

Just a couple more now that they are actually married :)

These white chocolate snowflakes were KILLER.

Wait for it, wait for it…

THERE it is. Love you guys…

YES! Time to dance! There were so manny cute kiddos there… This is Allana’s

This is Allana’s of Suze and her dad. I’m such a daddy’s girl, I ALWAYS cry when the bride dances with her dad…

So Allana, the genius that she is, set up a little portrait sesh on the front porch as the sun was setting, here’s Allana’s shot of Anna Kathryn and Joel, our test subjects :)

And now the real thing.

Friends!!

Man oh man you guys! What a fun and love-filled day it was. It was wonderful to spend time with you and your wonderful friends (who I’ve seen at quite a few weddings now :) Krista, Allana and I were definitely honored to document this day for you! Let’s thank the rest of the vendors too!

West Hartford Winter Wedding

We loved so much about this wedding… As you saw from their engagement session, these two are so adorable together. Their love for each other is palpable, and just plain old precious. When it came to their wedding, the weather was gorgeous, the day planned perfectly, and EVERY one of their guests seemed so insanely happy for them, and simply honored to be there. But MOST of all, we loved watching these two with their parents. the groom’s father had been very sick leading up to the wedding and they weren’t sure he’d be able to attend. That fact seemed to make every moment they had with their parents that much more precious. It was amazing, and all of us were touched by it.

Krista and I started out with the lovely bride to be as she arrived at Beth El Temple. She’s just glowing!
