Here’s just a quick little look into Kate and Reid’s Day After portrait session! This was mostly manned by Allana Taranto as Krista hurt her leg just as the Bride and Groom took off on their bikes :( Alas, they still look pretty cute…
They followed the tradition of my wedding and tied PBR cans to their vehicles of choice…
Reid kept getting his tangled.
The parents tried to help…
And that was about it for the cans! Haha.
Horray!! It’s finally time to post my first official couple as an Associate for Krista Photography! Much more of these to come in 2013, but for now feast your eyes on the adorable Rachel and Jon!
After talking to Rachel about how her and Jon got engaged after hopping a fence at Lynch Park to sit on “their rock” over looking the ocean and Beverly Harbor, I knew we had to shoot there. I love going somewhere that has a real significance to the couple, and it didn’t hurt that Lynch Park is a super versatile space, with tons of cute little spots for these two to snuggle. I had seen these two at a couple of Krista’s weddings, as they are good friends of Krista’s, but we had never really met. So we had a really great time goofing around and getting to know each other a bit.We met up on a particularly gorgeous Fall evening, ran around, talked, laughed, ya know all that good stuff :)
FAVE!
Rachel has the BEST laugh!
This is at least *close* to “their rock” :)
HAHA!
I can’t get enough of these snuggles!
Thank you both for letting me photograph your joy and love! You both were so much fun, it was really great running around with you that day!
Come back Wednesday for their Salem wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel! (And of course, check out Facebook for more)
XOXO!
Christine and Vu went all out on their details! From their gorgeous calligraphy to Christine’s gardenia bouquet, to their adorable and impeccable use of Scrabble letters, they were not messing around! I’m just going to let you get a little jealous for a minute here, I’ll catch up with ya in a sec…
Check out Vu’s cufflinks with their engagements pictures inside!! EEEeee!
Gimmee.
Gardenia’s what a dream!
I mean St. Cecilia’s was so bright and beautiful.
Meticulous!
Love the “SH” for Sweet Heart table!
CHECK OUT that detailing. This cake was killer!

Christine and Vu started their day off at the Renaissance Waterfront in Boston, where they were both surrounded by their family and MANY groomsmen and bridesmaids. It made for a super fun atmosphere. The girls were primped, the guys got pizza, typical right??
Let’s start off with a shot from Krista’s Widelux, shot on Tri-X 35mm/ISO 400
THAT VEIL. Just stunning.
Krista was joined by the lovely Erin Chapman, who hung out with the dudes as they prepped.
HAHA! Yes he is wearing his suit bag over his clothes.
Again. THAT VEIL.
Then over to St. Cecilia’s for their gorgeous ceremony!
Love this moment from Erin.
Krista’s assistant Casey Atkins grabbed this from the balcony, so fun!
So pretty!
Making it “official” on FB… :)
This was shot on Krista’s Holga, with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.
Christine did a quick hair change before the reception, which for all you ladies getting married in the Summer, this was SUCH a good idea on such a hot and humid day! Who doesn’t want to look their best ALL day??
Love this angle on the first dance!
You may recognize this lovely lady from our Christmas card this year! WE LOVE HER.
A creative use of their Scrabble details (more on that Friday)!
However hot it was that day it was all totally worth it! What a love fest this was! Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!!
And we’ll se you all Friday for their creative and cute Scrabble details! DON’T miss it! And check Facebook in the meantime :)
Hey everyone!! Guess what I’m over HALF WAY DONE blogging all of our lovely better-late-than-never couples. Woohoo! I hope you all, especially all you couples, have enjoyed seeing these weddings pop up here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It definitely feels like a labor of love but I could not be happier with the results. And THANK YOU all for checking in on us over here and thank you couples for patiently waiting your turn!
OK! On to Christine & Vu! Krista met up with tese two lovebirds down in Newport, RI while they were on vacation. Is that not the BEST time to get your engagement pictures done?? You’re tan, you’re relaxed, and the only schedule you have to work around is dinner plans, or when you scheduled that much needed massage. MMmmmm massage…
Anyways! Krista hung out with these two all over Newport, they got drinks, ice cream, all the good stuff! But most of all they spent the day goofing around and laughing. Just how we like it.
Doesn’t Christine have such a beautiful smile?!
You know we love people in trees…
HAHA!
Woo that light!
This too, dang!
Then off for some ice cream! Yummmmm…
And then for some Dark and Stormy’s! Definitely one of my favorite Summer drinks.
Thank you both for being so fun you two! Everyone thanks for checking these two cuties out! Come back on Wednesday for their wedding and in the mean time run on over to Facebook for more!
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!
Alright everybody it’s time to train your eyes on the adorable Meredith and John for the week. Krista met up with these two cuties in downtown Concord and around the Old North Bridge in Minuteman National Park. Man, Minuteman, you are worth your weight in gold! We love that place!
I am completely in love with Meredith’s super bright and classy skimmer pants, funky chunky shoes and preppy jacket and accessories. PLUS she has gorgeous curly hair, which I WISH I had, and Krista is the master of (but that’s another blog post… coming soon).
Ok, onto Meredith and John, starting of in downtown Concord, on a lovely Summer evening.
This girl had it ALL together, love the pop of her red toes!
So serious…
Ooooor not.
CUTIE!
Then for a quick costume change and onto Old North Bridge!
LOVE that tree!
Can we all just say a collective “Aawwwwwww…” Love these two! And just WAIT for Wednesday and their gorgeous Lyman Estate wedding. Thank you both for letting Krista run around with you and capture your love!
Pop over to facebook for more and we’ll see ya Wednesday!
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!

Linan & Steven live out in California, so Krista didn’t even get to meet them until the week of their wedding! She was just excited that they were able to squeeze in a fun little engagement session during the craziness of the week. It was great to get to know them a bit, and see just how adorable they are together :) They shot around the Boston Public Gardens and on Commonwealth Ave before heading to Finale for some yummmmy desserts! So fun!
I love that Linan’s yellow dress pops out from the background!
They lucked out with some amazing light that day!
Seriously, I LOVE her adorable yellow dress, wait til you see her shoes too…
They brought some super fun props :) You look good in mustaches guys!
One of my faves, so so sweet.
Then over to Commonwealth Ave, that puppy seems super interested! :)
Do ya SEE the shoes, adorable!
Just sayin’, I think ALL engagements sessions should end at Finale… [um, so do I!! xo Krista]
Thanks for making time in your busy wedding week to do the engagement session you two!!!
Thanks for stopping by! Come back Friday for their intimate and stylish wedding! And in the mean time, sneak a peak over on facebook!
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!
