Sarah & Peter’s Wedding – Winchester, MA

Sarah & Peter were married this summer on a wicked hot day. Now that it’s getting cold outside, it’s hard to even imagine just how hot we were that day!

The day started out at Sarah’s family home in Lexington. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the gorgeous daisies on the counter. The bright red and the little touches of blue were just beautiful!

Sarah took a moment to read through the scripture for the ceremony.

She looked so beautiful!

The ceremony was held at First Baptist Church in Winchester. Sarah & her Dad shared a moment before heading down the aisle.

Both Sarah & Peter’s families are very musical. Their friends and siblings participated in the ceremony by singing and playing instruments. It was a beautiful time of worship – so special and personal. Even with sweat dripping down my face in the un-air conditioned church, I loved it ;)

The next 2 photos were taken by my assistant, Elizabeth

After the ceremony, we went across the street to Mill Pond for a few minutes alone with the happy couple

After some portraits, we headed back across the road to Hope Christian Church for the reception. Hope recently planted my church, GENESIS in Woburn. Sarah’s Dad is an elder at Hope, and I’ve known their family since before I moved to Boston. It was fun to be so familiar with the surroundings, and the guests, and to feel like such a part of the family at this wedding.

The reception was early in the day, so instead of dancing they had a lot of great toasts and games and fun throughout the afternoon. Peter’s brother gave a tear-jerking toast.

Sarah’s sister, and maid-of-honor, Allie’s toast. You’ll notice that Sarah changed into a great little red dress for the party! So fun!

They had bowls full of personalized M&M‘s out, and I just had to play a little bit!

After a fun afternoon, these two literally ran out the door and off to their new life together! Elizabeth was able to capture this great shot as they ran through the bubbles.

Sarah & Peter – it was so great to be a part of your wedding day! I hope you’re settling in to your new life in England, and enjoying married life!

Megan & Mike’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

I was on my way to Megan & Mike‘s wedding when I got a call from Megan asking if I could shoot some film that day as well! Luckily, my film bag was at home prepped and ready and my assistant was able to run back and pick it up. And I’m so glad she asked :) I love shooting film, and now generally include a bit in all my packages. It just adds such a cool touch to the wedding day, and in this case, it was the perfect classic touch to go with some of the classic details.

Megan… taken on the Holga

A few images of the Ford Model-A that served as the limo for the day. First on the Holga, then on the Nikon F100, and finally on the Widelux.

And finally, the First Dance on film…

Megan & Mike’s Wedding – Concord, MA

I knew just by talking to Megan on the phone that I was going to love her! She and Mike live out in San Francisco and were planning their wedding here in Concord, where Megan grew up. I met Megan and her Mom once, but didn’t meet Mike until the Rehearsal Dinner. They are such a fun and sweet couple, and their family and friends are just wonderful. I had so much fun spending the day with them, I can’t even tell you!

The day began at Megan’s parents’ house…

Megan & her bridesmaids have been friends since pre-school, and their families are extremely close. I just fell in love with them and the friendships they’ve formed over the years! They had a little dance-party in Megan’s room while they got ready :)

Dad

Mom

Megan made necklaces for each of her bridesmaids. I think they’re beautiful!

it’s not as easy as you think…

Such gorgeous green eyes!

Instead of renting a limo for the day, they hired these antique cars. It’s a 1928 Ford Model A – so cool!

Waiting to walk down the aisle…

Think they’re excited? I love this shot that my second shooter, Rachel Hadiashar, captured.

A quick portrait of the newlyweds in front of Holy Family Church

The reception was held at the Concord Country Club, so we took some portraits out on the golf course. I love this shot of the bridal party – you can totally see what a fun group of people they are. And don’t you just love the bridesmaids’ dresses?!

Then we had a few minutes alone with Megan & Mike…

This is my favorite!

My favorite part of the day was the reception! I always love a good dance party, and these people did not disappoint!!

Megan & Mike, thank you SO much for trusting me to document your wedding! It was absolutely a pleasure to spend the day with all of you! I hope you love the photos :)

Erin & Steve’s Wedding – Cambridge, MA

Erin and Steve‘s wedding was wonderful! The weather was lovely, Erin was absolutely stunning, and they spent the day surrounded by family and having a really fun time. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? :)

Erin, having her makeup done… totally glamorous!

Erin’s Grandmother was pretty much my favorite person at the wedding :) She’s the cutest!

I’m loving the curve of her waist, and the way her hand is laying on her hip… so gorgeous!

Erin’s sister helping with her necklace

And my assistant, Elizabeth‘s take on the same moment…

Totally excited to see the limo pulling up outside!

Erin and Mom getting ready to head over to Our Lady of the Assumption for the ceremony

I love little moments like this during the wedding

After the ceremony, we went over to Hotel Marlowe for some portraits before the reception. Hotel Marlowe is now officially one of my favorite hotels for weddings! It is so funky and has so many interesting details, that I actually preferred to do portraits inside for a change! Plus, they set up a Wii during the cocktail hour and that is just the coolest!

I mean, come on!

Hotel Marlowe sits along the Charles River, so we did venture outside for a few portraits by the water

Erin & Steve’s cake was beautiful. The swirlies all over it were also on the menus and ran throughout the details. It was really well put together.

Elizabeth captured this moment during the first dance

What’s better than a photo of a cute Grandma? A photo of her dancing with her new grandson! Totally precious!

I’m also a sucker for cute little kids at weddings, not just Grandmas…

Thanks Elizabeth for capturing a nice shot of me during the wedding! I’m not a fan of having my picture taken, like most photographers, so it’s always nice when someone can catch a good one ;)

Erin & Steve spent most of the night dancing with their friends, and having a fabulous time!

Erin & Steve – thank you so much for having us along to capture your day! The wedding was so fun, and I hope you have as much fun going through all the images and living it all over again!

Kris & Erin’s Indiana Wedding

Earlier this summer, I had the chance to go back home to Indiana for some quality time with the fam, and to photograph my little cousin’s wedding. Kristopher has always been one of my favorites (ok, I probably say that about all my cousins, but still, it’s true) so when he asked me to shoot his wedding, I couldn’t say no! Kris is a comedian, a video producer, and a film maker. So naturally, they chose a theater as the backdrop for their wedding.

Kris and Erin got married at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana.

K is for Krista! Just kidding, their last name is Knight ;)

My uncle Kurt looking very handsome

Getting ready

This perfectly Kristopher photo was taken by my assistant, Kyle Peters

I love hand-written vows!!!

This theater was such a cool place for photos!! Doesn’t Erin look beautiful?!

Just before heading down the aisle

The ceremony took place on the stage. Stage lights on and house lights off made the photos very dramatic.

Kris cried like a baby during the ceremony ;) but there was also a LOT of laughter!

The Bridal Party in the balcony. The theater was GORGEOUS!

Even though it rained most of the day, the sun came out just in time for some photos!

I love that Erin’s up on her tip toes!

We had to take some more photos back inside because it was just too beautiful!

Kris & Erin had their first dance to Flight of the Conchords, “Most Beautiful Girl in the Room”… press play and enjoy!

They are really good dancers…

Their reception was a blast and all their friends were dancing like crazy. I could share SO many pics, but instead, I’ll just share this one of Kris dancing with our sassy Grandma. It makes me smile :)

And, here’s a little snapshot of my family. Looking at this I realized how much my sister looks like my Dad, and I look like my mom! I think when we were younger that was reversed. Funny how that happens as you grow up :)

Kris & Erin – I love you guys!! I’m so glad I could be there for your wedding! Now that you’re both living it up in NYC, you’ll have to come up to Boston for a visit :) I hope you love the photos!!

Meaghan & Steve’s Wedding – Danvers, MA

I love Meaghan & Steve :) These two are good friends of mine, and it was so wonderful for me to be able to attend and shoot their wedding this summer. They got married at the home of a friend in Danvers on a cold and rainy summer day, and had such a fun and joyful party. I’m excited to share a few of my favorite photos…

So, the house where they got married is this huge home decorated in a very ornate and eclectic style. I saw people curiously walking by this painting of a cat-man all day, but Anne Ruthmann (who came to shoot with me) captured this priceless moment. I *love* this photo!!

Meaghan & her maid-of-honor getting ready in the largest and fanciest bathroom I’ve ever seen.

Steve & the guys preparing for the wedding (photos by Anne)

The stained glass wall in the bathroom was so cool. I asked my assistant Elizabeth to catch Meaghan getting into her dress through the glass, and it turned out awesome!

Meg and her brother just before he walked her down the aisle. I believe this is the moment when I started bawling my eyes out!

I love the look she gave Steve here when she got to the end of the aisle (next 2 photos by Anne)

My brother (in law) officiated the ceremony. It was the first wedding we’ve ever “worked” together. It was kinda fun having him and my sister there, along with a bunch of close friends. Totally strange to have your worlds collide like that, but still fun!

Anne came along for this wedding in part to help me out, but also to have some fun and try some new things and take some risks. She brought a tilt/shift lens and I absolutely love how the images turned out!

My beautiful friend, Meaghan

I rarely like shots of me while I’m working, but Anne caught this one, and I actually like it :)

Some of the guys were pretty distracted during portraits because there were chickens running around. Boys like to chase chickens, apparently.

Haha! This is SO Meg & Steve!! Never a serious moment with these two, I tell ya.

Love the colors in this one that Anne shot!

I love their cake toppers! I believe they were made by one of their grandfathers, years and years ago – made out of nuts! Totally cute!

There’s that tilt/shift lens again. I love the feel!

Meg’s rings are so pretty and delicate!

First dance

First dance courtesy of Anne’s fisheye lens. The dance floor was in a new room on the house, that’s still under construction. All the exposed wood was so interesting to photograph, and also very “them.”

Steve looking oh so handsome

Meg cracking up!

And, my fabulous self-portrait of me & Meg. Not sure why I’m leaning back so much, but whatever ;)

Meaghan & Steve – I love you guys!! I’m so incredibly happy for you!!!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your wedding photos. I hope you loooove them!!!!

And Anne, thank YOU so much for tagging along! All that playing really paid off, and I absolutely love the images you captured. You can come play with me anytime!! ;)

Alli & Glenn’s Wedding at OceanCliff – Newport, RI

So, as you may remember from this post a while back, Alli and Glenn‘s wedding was a bit unusual! Due to a random case of the chicken pox, Krista wasn’t able to be at the wedding; fortunately Melissa Coe and Jessica Cardinalli were kind enough to step in and cover the wedding for her. I’ve been doing an internship with Krista since February to learn more about how a photography business is run, and have been assisting her at most of her weddings this summer as well. So, for Alli and Glenn’s wedding, I went along with Melissa and Jessica to try to assist them and get even more photos of Alli and Glenn’s special day! Since Krista wasn’t able to be at the event, she asked me, Elizabeth, to write this post to give you all a sense of the day…

Driving down to the Oceancliff Hotel, the weather looked to be anything but cooperative – rainy, misty, and downright ugly. However, by the time we arrived, the skies were clear! And soon the weather was sunny and beautiful, and the bright blue sky was a perfect backdrop for the bright, crisp colors Alli & Glenn had chosen.

While the bridesmaids had brightly colored dresses with white bouquets, Alli’s bridal bouquet was highlighted with vivid peonies. I took my time making sure that we had some photographs that captured the beauty of the florist’s work!

Melissa captured this beautiful silhouette of Alli, as well as the following series of her dress and getting ready.

Melissa got a number of beautiful shots of the rings and other pieces of jewelry throughout the day; this one stood out above the rest.

Alli and Glenn met before the ceremony to enjoy a few moments together to take it all in, and to take some portraits so they would have more time later to enjoy their reception.

We drove down the coast a little way to a spot they’d chosen, where Melissa captured this moment.

I stayed back and got this shot of them walking up the road a short way.

Jessica did a great job catching them from a completely different angle and perspective.

I love the sense of movement Jessica captured in this shot.

The view from OceanCliff was a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony!

Jessica captured this moment when Alli’s dad walked her down the aisle to meet Glenn.

One great thing about having the ceremony at the top of a hill was that I was able to walk down below, then around to the back of the guests, to get two different perspectives on the setting.

Melissa captured this shot during the exchange of rings

Jessica was waiting for the newlyweds as they came down the aisle, surrounded by their family and friends. You could tell all through the ceremony just how important it was to them that the people they cared about were a part of this day!

After some group portraits, we took a few more portraits of the two of them as the sun was setting. I was glad to be able to capture a sky that reflected the bright colors they had surrounded themselves with all day.

I’m glad that I was able to be a part of this wedding. Not only did I get to work with and learn from two different photographers, I also had the chance to shoot at a beautiful venue and get to spend time with a fun group of people. Alli and Glenn, thank you so much for letting us be a part of this important day in your lives! Your understanding and flexibility in what could have been a difficult situation is a testament to your characters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I (Krista) also want to thank Alli & Glenn for being so great through this whole chicken-pox-fiasco! It’s a photographer’s worst nightmare to not be able to shoot a wedding they’re scheduled to document, and your gracious understanding was total blessing.

And a special thank you to Melissa Coe and Jessica Cardinalli for dropping everything at a moment’s notice to help us all out!! You ladies, as well as Elizabeth, did a great job capturing the day and it’s wonderful knowing that even though I couldn’t be there, Alli & Glenn were in (lots of) good hands!
