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!

Been a while since we’ve seen a groom’s cake, love it!

Christy + Doug — Ocean Edge Wedding

We spent the entire day with Christy and Doug at the beautiful Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, MA. It was just starting to get cold, the sun was warm and rich but the shade was chilly. Brrrrr…it caught everyone by surprise! While the details were impeccable, the bride gorgeous, and the venue classic, we walked away with the wonderful and distinct feeling that this really was the joining together of two families who loved their children so very much. Just WAIT until you get to the reception, this was the BEST dance party of the Summer. The room was filled with so much love that even we, the photographers, felt like we were part of the family by the end of the night! Thank you both and your families for such a wonderful day!

Check back on Friday to see their beautiful preppy details!

Krista and I started out with the girls (and Christy’s adorable sister) in their suite just down the hill from the main ballroom.

The fabulous James Federico started with Doug!

The light in Christy’s room was beautiful!

Her bridesmaids had some lovely J.Crew dresses, my fave!

Christy’s mom had a surprise for her, a pin for her bouquet in memory of Christy’s grandmother… it made everyone cry…

After getting ready, the ladies and Christy’s parents hid away and watched everyone arrive for the wedding, they had so much fun being sneaky!

The ceremony was on the front lawn…

I mean COME ON!

We found our way down to the beach with the whole bridal party! Don’t they look great?!

I see you back there!

Couldn’t resist… :)

This is mine of the Bride & Groom’s first dance, they’re just so dang cute!

The speeches brought the house down, not a dry eye in the place!

And now the REAL party started! These next few are mine of the crazy dance circle, some seriously killer moves out there!

That girl is trapped by dancing!

I grabbed these of the bride & groom getting hoisted up.

And this is mine from the last dance, after a HECK of a party…

Oh you two!! We still talk to this day about how amazing your day was, thank you for letting us be a part of it! We wish you nothing but the best!!

Liz + Pete – State Room Wedding Details

Liz & Pete’s details were absolutely LOVELY. Stately, chic, classic, and fun. Exactly what every State Room wedding should be… and then they just forgot all about it and danced the night away surrounded by TONS of friends and family. Exactly what we love to see :)

Let’s start with Liz’s Lazaro dress! It was intricately detailed, and seemingly custom fit to her tiny figure, she was so happy and beautiful in her dress, she just couldn’t help twirling around and running her fingers through her veil.

And of course everyone’s favorite shoes.

This comb held in her veil. Just the right amount of bling.

I grabbed her pastel and white flowers and ran around the Ames Hotel with them, all of their furniture is black white and gray, a photographer’s paradise!

The following shots are from Anne Ruthmann of Pete’s sharp suit and his groomsmen gifts.

Also from Anne from above the Ames Hotel lobby.

Liz wore her grandmother’s ring on her right hand, it was so stunningly sparkly!

The bridal party looked great together, especially from Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film!

The Lazaro bridesmaid dresses were incredible, the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. They were draped so beautifully, were just sexy enough, and were so flattering on Liz’s girls!

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross was plain old breathtaking.

We all couldn’t stop taking pictures of Liz’s dress! Can you blame us?

The pink pastels made their way into the centerpieces as well, which varied in height with rose petals to accompany them on the tables.

State Room wedding

Some seriously beautiful calligraphy.

State Room wedding

Sweet and simple cake

Love that view!

NOTHING beats a live band.

Love this from Anne!

State Room wedding

Cristen Farrell grabbed these fun shots of the photobooth.

The food at The State Room is always awesome!

Cannoli! YES!

And some bling to round it all out. I love that Pete’s ring is gold, who said they have to match?!

And a last shot from Krista’s Holga on Koday Tri-x 400 ISO/120mm film.

Liz + Pete — State Room Wedding

Liz & Pete were married at the State Room in downtown Boston. What a day! Krista and I hung out with the girls most of the morning and they were a complete riot, all of them having so much fun, and obviously just loving the time they got to spend together. The whole day proved to be just like that, a love fest, seriously. Liz & Pete have the most adoring and loving group of family and friends. It was the most wonderful atmosphere to be a part of. And WAIT til you see the dance party!

Ok so here we go, Krista and I started with Liz and her girls in their suite at The Ames Hotel, just a couple blocks from the State Room, its SO beautiful, a super fun space to shoot in with great light and really cool furniture! Here’s Liz reading a lovely note from Pete.

Don’t you love those robes she gave the girls?!

Anne Ruthmann, who we LOVE, started with Pete and his groomsmen in their suite at the Ames as well.

I grabbed this of Liz in those *awesome* windows.

HAH!

LOVE Pete’s face!

Give it a spin girl!

I grabbed this of Liz trying to figure out her veil, it was sooo long and beautiful.

And this too, they just couldn’t stop staring! :)

Then we were all ready to head down to the first look and Liz says, “Krista do youuuu wanna hold my lipgloss????” How could we refuse this girl?

Anne got Pete ready for the first look! So dashing in his bowtie!

Love Pete’s face in this shot from Anne! I think he was blown away!

We ran into this stairwell around the corner, Krista went upstairs and Anne grabbed this. I swear every inch of the Ames is interesting to photograph.

Krista rode with the couple to the Public Gardens, I’m amazed there isn’t anyone in the background of this shot!

Krista brought along a roll or two of Black and White film too, aren’t these two classic? Shot with Krista’s Holga on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/120 mm film.

And THIS with her Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Shoot girl!

Anne grabbed this of the bridal party after some family formals in the Gardens.

Then it was over to the enormous and stately Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

Another with the Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Married!

Then it was on to The State Room!

Love this pairing from Anne.

Another from Anne

This is also from Anne, of Liz and her dad dancing, while Liz’s sister Lauren sang.

Then it was party time!

In case you can’t tell, the dance floor was PACKED.

Liz was my hero on the dance floor.

Love BOTH sets of parents getting down!

Ya gotta throw the Bride and Groom around a bit to end the night!

I conveniently forgot to mention that even though I was taken out of the game with food poisoning halfway through the day, and Krista lost a flash (it tumbled to the floor) in the midst of the craziest dance party ever, Krista and I were incredibly grateful to have Anne Ruthmann along for the ride as well as the wonderful Cristen Farrell, who rescued and replaced me earlier in the night.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Liz & Pete, you two are unbelievably wonderful. Seriously.

See the rest of you on Friday for their classy pastel and grey details!

Liz + Pete — Downtown Boston Engagement Session

In my book Liz and Pete are probably the cutest couple in the whole world. I had only heard about them from Krista, and edited their engagement pictures and I was totally in love with them. Even from their pictures I could tell how natural they were with each other, and I could practically hear Liz’s laugh through the pictures! All of this was proven right when we shot their wedding, but that’s another post (on Wednesday to be exact, so don’t miss it)!

So here we go, Liz and Pete spent the early evening with Krista in downtown Boston, first here on the Massachusetts Ave bridge, on one of the COLDEST days in Boston, but don’t these two look warm and happy?

They meandered a bit down to Commonwealth Ave and stopped in a random doorway, there are so many good ones, how can you resist?! (PS- there is definitely a doorman behind them… poor dude haha)

Then into the walkway, it was so dreamy with all the lights!

Then down the street to the Fairmont Copley Plaza.

Gotta love random strangers, my fave.

Can you say CUTIES?

This place is GORGEOUS!

Then around to the steps of the public library, so fun in black and white!

WOO! Love that view!

I mean, seriously, can they be any cuter… No. Not possible. Thanks you two for freezing your buns off with Krista that night!

And listen ya’ll, come back on Wednesday for their chic State Room Wedding!

Averie + Keith — Hacienda Tres Rios Wedding Details

Here’s a little peak into the seemingly endless details of Averie & Keith’s glorious destination wedding at the Hacienda Tres Rios Resort in Playa del Carmen Mexico!

We’re going to start off at the welcome party the night before the wedding, it was tucked away in a little grove of palm trees, lit with colorful paper lanterns and flags.

There were plentiful desserts, and tamarind margaritas abound! YUM.

The tables were topped with sombreros, maracas, and little mustaches and beards to get everyone in the spirit, and hopefully prompt some silly pictures!

It worked :) Photographers gotta have a little fun too ya know!

Averie handed these Bridal Biddie cards out to her girls, along with a cute present.

A night time view of the beautiful and HUGE Hacienda Tres Rios.

So on wedding day we woke up in the morning to THIS amazing view. The Hacienda Tres Rios in addition to be an amazing resort, is a nature preserve as well, and had amazing foliage and animals running all over the place!

Alright, now onto the really good stuff! I just can’t get enough of this DRESS!

It’s just so dang pretty!

You know we liked the bling!

Averie had her soft tropical themed stationery on hand, love her message in a bottle save the date!

Averie gave Keith a sweet memento, a custom engraved pocket watch, with a picture of his deceased mother inside, so so so sweet.

What a fun monogrammed box! Plus cigars for the guys!

The belt detail on Averie’s dress is just so lovely and delicate.

Averie had her girls wear mis-matched coral dresses and gold shoes, they were so festive and beachy!

White sand and blue blue skies everywhere! LOVE!

There were lounge beds all along the shore line, so we had to take advantage.

Look at this romantic bungalow!

Complete with beautiful sprays of snapdragons…

…white rose petals,

…MORE snapdragons, and straw fans for the guests.

From the bouquet, to the ceremony, to the centerpieces, everything was tied in so well!

The flowers were simple and rustic and festive but still so elegant.

Averie & Keith made a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in memory of Keith’s mother in lieu of favors.

I love their Señor and Señora signs! Such a fun twist!

Mariachi music!! YES!

There was chic lounge furniture on the deck for people to relax after the dinner.

And Averie’s mom decorated the cake with flowers!

Averie had a message in a bottle guest book set up so everyone could write a secret note to the couple.

I feel like there is one word for this wedding STUNNING. Such thoughtful details, simple and elegant, it was such a pleasure to document! You can thank these wonderful people for them!

Averie + Keith — Hacienda Tres Rios Destination Wedding

Alright folks, hold on to your hats, this is a big one!

For months and months Krista and I were endlessly talking about shooting this wedding. From flights, hotels, transportation, visas, equipment… WHEW! It was a LOT of work to get prepped for this shoot but was so incredibly worth it. Averie and Keith worked tirelessly to bring this event together, along with their TWO wedding planners of course! They had a very select number of family and friends attend the wedding. If you ask me it was the PERFECT amount of people, their nearest and dearest, and even Krista and I felt like part of the crew in the end. It was an absolute BLAST!

So let us begin! After a day or two in Cancun, Krista and I made our way down to the Hacienda Tres Rios to meet the crew, hang by the pool, let our equipment get used to the crazy humidity, and ya know shoot some pictures.

First up… the welcome party! Complete with sombreros and maracas to get everyone in the spirit!

Its always good to have FUN at your rehearsal.

And it continues…

Everyone loved the mustaches!

Their party was tucked away in the gorgeous little grove of palm trees, so dreamy.

Ok now onto the BEAUTIFUL bride! Krista started with Averie as she got ready, safely hiding in the AC :)

Her dress was absolutely perfect, fit her like a glove and just BEAUTIFUL.

Love all of the coral dresses, such a wonderful accent color for the all of Averie’s other details.

Keith gave Averie a lovely present and the sweetest card, you know I love a girl who can cry!

Meanwhile, I started out with Keith and the boys. Where Keith was focused, and the boys….

…were busy with other things, hahaha.

Ok enough horsing around, time for the first look!

Check it out! Love the kick at the bottom of her dress.

Its a good thing you can’t tell from the pictures how HOT it was… whew!!

Pretty sure, I’m fixing Averie’s shoes at the bottom of this frame, whatever it takes!

Dang girl!

Ok, time to hide away for the ceremony! Love this of Averie and her dad, no jitters for this girl!

I waited up at the top of the altar for this one, wasn’t this place gorgeous!?

Tied together for life!

Krista and I waded around in the water to grab these shots, slightly dangerous… totally worth it!

Woohoo!

A mariachi band led them through the resort to the reception site!

We were on a nice big patio at the edge of one of the main pools, they had lounge furniture and lights strung around, and a gracious breeze!

Twilight approached as everyone ate, man oh man that sky!

Then it was time to dance!

Averie had a costume and hair change too!

The mustaches and beards made their way into the dance floor too!

Whew! That’s it guys! What a blast it was reliving this wedding, and there’s still more! Stay tuned for Averie & Keith’s Trash-the-Dress and impeccable details posts coming up this week!

And now, introducing our first Associate Photographer!!

COCO!

Averie & Keith

If you haven’t noticed by now, I have the best Assistant EVER! CoCo Boardman has been working for me for almost exactly two years. Before moving to Boston, she worked all over the country as a news photographer, and even worked as an Assistant at Real Life Weddings, where I got my start in photography. So, she basically came to me already knowing a lot about how I work because she was trained by the woman who I trained… sounded good to me! And she’s been even better than I expected. She’s so good at assisting me at weddings, that I barely remember how I ever did it without her! She reads my mind and stays so on top of the ball, I can’t tell you how helpful she is! She’s become not just my office assistant, but Studio Manager, photo editor, album designer, sounding board, and perspective generator. And add to that, she’s a fabulous photographer and she adds so much to every wedding she assists and second shoots! See… she’s pretty amazing! And Krista Photography is a better business, a better place to work, and a better team because of her.

So, even though she already does so much around here, it’s time for her to get to do a little more!! Starting in 2013, Krista Photography will now offer weddings shot by CoCo Boardman, our first Associate Photographer!! She has the experience and the talent to shoot weddings of her own. And while I’ll miss having her with me at every wedding I shoot, I’m excited to see her grow as a photographer, and to give brides the opportunity to work with her!

So, if you haven’t met her yet, take a minute and get to know our new Associate, CoCo!

She’s a babe…

And a goofball…

Averie & Keith

She likes to dance, dance, dance, dance…

She’s a snazzy dresser…

And she’s a great friend!

She also shoots Canon, but we don’t hold it against her…

…because she uses it for good and not evil! Check out some of my favorites of her work!

Shots by Coco

CoCo, I love you lady! I’m so thankful for you and all you’ve done to help me over the last two years! I’m so very excited to what comes next!! You rock :)

If you’d like to view more of CoCo’s work, you can see it in MANY of our albums on Facebook, but especially here, and soon we’ll have her galleries on our website as well! Yay!

Katelyn & Evan’s Wedding Details

Just wanted to share some of my favorite details from Katelyn & Evan’s wedding at Granite Links! Between Katelyn’s TWO amazing dresses and the gorgeous flowers – this wedding was just beautiful!!

Katelyn wrapped a family rosary and bracelet around her bouquet. Well, technically, I wrapped them around the bouquet. Sometimes I need to multi-task. Still, I love personal touches like that at weddings! Sometimes it’s the little details that no one else sees that mean the most.
