Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Wedding at The Taj Boston

Laurie and Hakan were married at The Taj in Boston. It was chilly and the leaves were just barely changing color in the city. Their day was magical, the couple celebrated with their families from all over the world, and somehow they found THE one orange tree in the Public Gardens to shoot near :)

Let’s start out with Laurie, getting ready in her hotel suite.

Bethany + Jon — Ballymeade Country Club Wedding Details

Ok we already got into all the great gushy stuff from Bethany and Jon’s gorgeous wedding, so let’s get into the amazing details!

Krista went down a day early and shot the rehearsal dinner the night before. Jon’s mom, a true southern belle, took over the rehearsal decor and KILLED IT! If the wedding was a perfect preppy representation of Bethany’s New England roots, the rehearsal was a perfect picture of Jon’s southern ties. I did my best not to overload you but I mean it’s just so cute!

Bethany + Jon — Ballymeade Country Club Wedding

Ballymeade Country Club (Falmouth, MA) wedding

Bethany and Jon were married in Falmouth, MA, Bethany’s home town, in the church across the street from her childhood home. We were told that she used to watch brides leaving the church from her living room window, doesn’t that paint such a wonderful picture? Well no matter what expectations had been swimming in Bethany’s head about her very own wedding day in that church, I certainly think they were met. The weather held out just perfectly, Bethany was glowing and nervous but cool under pressure, and the setting could not have been more idyllic. It really was a wonderful day.

We learned not long after the wedding however that Jon’s brother and Best Man, Michael, had passed away suddenly. We obviously didn’t know him very well, but it was not hard to tell that he was greatly loved by his family. He gave literally the BEST toast Krista had ever heard, at their rehearsal dinner, which was proven by her crying with laughter through the whole thing… We are so glad that Jon and Bethany were able to celebrate their wedding with him and will have those recent memories forever. And we are thankful to have been able to share a little something with them to help ease the pain. These are the moments when you realize how important photographs can be. Knowing that we can actually help people hold onto the memories of the ones they love is the most rewarding part of our job.

So without further ado, let’s see the blushing bride, Krista started out at Bellezza Salon with the ladies.

Bethany and Jon thank you so much for trusting us with documenting your day! We were so happy to celebrate with you and your families, and so happy we could give you a beautiful way of remembering the ones you love.

And stay tuned folks for their preppy details, and a peak into their album design!

Katie + Mark — Album Design

In case you didn’t know, aside from editing, blogging like crazy, booking weddings for myself, answering our new phone (holla), and fetching the occasional latte, I’ve been designing up a storm of albums over here! Lots of happy couples have walked away with some gorgeous albums over the past couple months!!  As far as we’re concerned, the album is the whole point of having your wedding photographed!  It’s the story book you’ll share with your kids and grandkids someday, and it’ll be what you snuggle up together on the sofa and look through on your 50th anniversary.  This is how we tell the story of your day and we work super hard to make it look and feel as much like you as your wedding did!

Here are a few of my favorite spreads from Katie and Mark’s beautiful vertical 9×12 album that we just finalized and ordered! Woohoo! Katie wanted to incorporate her color scheme into their flush mount album, so I added in a few splashes of orange and blue throughout. I LOVE how this turned out!

Tara from Tada not only did amazing job on Katie’s makeup, as you remember, she also designed their invitations and this monogram! We used it on the cover and here on the first page of the book. Thanks Tara!

Rose and George were married at the Boston Seaport Hotel. It was such a lovely wedding. Rose had this amazing and unique kiwi and persimmon color scheme that was carried through almost every element of their day. Their families seemed so fun and supportive and absolutely thrilled to be witnessing their nuptials. And some Krista Photography alums Jessica and Albert were there! It’s always fun to see past couples out on the dance floor!

Krista and I started out with Rose and her ladies up in her hotel suite.

Leli and Tom had an amazingly fun wedding day, they each had seven people standing up for them, the girls in bold deep purple, which made for an amazingly big and super fun bridal party. Each of them got ready with their respective groups at the Westin and the Hyatt House in Waltham where Krista started with the Bride and all-start second shooter Zac Wolf started with the boys for a few shenanigans…

I feel like he’s thinking “Not too shabby!”
