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!

Suze + Jeremy – Rockport Engagement Session

Krista met up with her good friends Suze and Jeremy in Rockport at the end of seriously rainy day, hence the awesome clouds :) They had to kind of run around and make the most of the sliver of sun they got after the rain stopped. But these two are so dang cute it didn’t seem to make any difference!! They eventually ducked inside a restaurant and got some of the best shots of the day once the sun had set. Done and done! [Plus we got to eat some AWESOME BBQ… which doesn’t happen often in New England!! :) Krista]

Love a sunset after a storm!

Quintessential Suze and Jeremy. Goofballs!! :)

SO FUN!

There was seriously BARELY enough light for this picture… but I LOVE it.

The three of them then popped over to The American Barbeque in Beverly for a little snack.

My fave!

Thanks for taking a look and thank you Suze and Jeremy for rolling with the punches! Check out their facebook album, and come back Monday for their wedding post!!

Westchester Engagement Session

Krista met up with this adorable couple at a lovely little apple orchard and pumpkin patch near Westchester, NY. These two were so sweet with each other, not to mention complete goofballs. They were so comfortable and natural in front of the camera and obviously just loved being together, camera or no. Makes our job pretty easy :)

Let’s start with a shot of this gorgeous rose gold ring. This lady was SO ahead of the trend! :)

I seriously can’t take it! They are so fun!

This grass was SO beautiful!

My fave.

And then they found some abandoned buckets… haha!

Thank you both for sharing your unabashed joy! You are the best!

Now check back on Wednesday for their wedding and while you’re at it, head over to facebook to see more!

Ziva + Jonah — Spring Valley Country Club Wedding

Ziva and Jonah were married on a strangely warm November day, just as they had predicted. And just as WE predicted their day was filled with some wonderful emotional moments. Ziva and Jonah were both surrounded by a ton of friends and family who all seemed so incredibly honored to be a part of their special day. It was wonderful to witness, from the traditional and emotional bedekken and tisch ceremonies to the CRAZY dance party, it was such an amazing day! It was exactly their style: simple, heartfelt, classic, and emotional. Love them!

Krista and I started out with Ziva at her parents beautiful old house in Brookline.

I grabbed this downstairs while the girls were busy…

Ziva reading the sweetest note from Jonah.

Then we all headed over to the country club to finish getting dressed

I can’t get enough of her beautiful sister and mother! They are so sweet!

Some of my favorite family formals. Ever.

A little toast before the Bedekken started!

And here’s the wonderful Ben Schaefer’s shot of Jonah during his Tisch.

Love this graphic shot from Ben as well.

The girls were having a lot of fun at Ziva’s Bedekken, I love having all the generations together like that!

Three more from Ben at the Tisch.

This is my favorite part! Ben’s shot of Jonah approaching the bride.

And another from Ben of the boys celebrating.

Ziva’s moment with her dad is so precious.

The next two are mine, first Ziva with her soon to be mother-in-law.

The light was so cool!

And then onto the ceremony! Absolutely LOVE this moment!

Here’s mine of Jonah, all smiles.

The new Mr. and Mrs.!

She is just RADIANT!

Here’s my view.

I grabbed this as they walked back to join their guests.

Not soon afterwards, it was a serious dance party ya’ll!

Haha! I love Ben’s face in the back!!

Here’s mine of Ziva and her mom, so fun!

Ben, genius.

Jonah did the best rap/toast for Ziva.

Awwww sisters.

Ziva + Jonah — Brookline Engagement Session

Krista calls her engagement sessions “Day-in-the-life” engagement sessions for a reason, she wants to express what your real life is like! Where you live, where you got engaged, things you do, how you act around each other, or the stupid stuff you laugh about… all the things that make your relationship REAL.

Well Ziva & Jonah’s engagement session was just that, a snapshot of their lives. Krista and these two adorable people started at Ziva’s parents’ house, they went for a walk around the nearby reservoir, had a quick outfit change, then stopped by Jonah’s parents’ house, and checked out the pond down the street. SO simple. SO perfect. All you really need are two people in love and BOOM. Real. Pictures.

Here they are in Ziva’s parents’ beautiful old house in Brookline, where she later got ready for her wedding :)

We love random strangers in our pictures :)

And then for a quick costume change!

SOOOOOO cute!

Aren’t they adorable?? Get on over to Facebook to see some more of these two cuties, and we’ll see you Friday for their wedding!

Krista got together with Christine and Randy at Christine’s brother’s beautiful home in Winchester, MA. He has a great backyard were they hung out with their adorable dog, chilled with some sparkling wine and relaxed in their hammock, what more can you ask for!?

Precious little puppy!

Randy is soooo tall! Makes for a great silhouette! :)

Who can resist goofing around on the swings?

Melissa + Tyler — Methuen Memorial Music Hall Wedding

Melissa & Tyler’s wedding was held at the gorgeous Methuen Memorial Music Hall, followed by a reception at the Castleton Banquet Center. Melissa and her Mom Adrienne worked so hard to make everything look fabulous and put a lot of time and energy into all the details. With a ton of sweet little kids, she had SEVEN flower girls, and so so so many supportive friends there to celebrate, the room was filled with so much love, we were honored to be a part of it!

Krista and I were hanging out with the ladies as they got ready, when a beautiful package from Tyler arrived…. ok crying now…

Our favorite, Allana Taranto, started with the dudes, as they insisted on a BeeGees album cover shot :)

Just can’t stop with the bling!

Melissa’s brother’s gift, custom “Suit Up” shot glass….

Good thing they got to practice…. :)

Uh oh, flower girl meltdown.

I mean, this place is INSANE!

LOVED Melissa’s bridesmaid palette, so bright and fun, eventhough this little girl may not think so…

They were so smart and had coloring books, and all sorts of stuff to keep the kids busy during the ceremony!

Love this from Allana of Tyler’s mom.

These two have some seriously talented friends, music all day!

Awww, that “hey, we’re married” moment.

Cutest brother ever!

I was serious guys, SEVEN glower girls, each one cuter than the next.

Then out into the grounds for some portraits!

Seriously, this girl is loved.

When everyone arrived at Castleton for the reception, we had to wrangle the girls for a couple pictures… they were having so much fun.

The light was GORGEOUS!

Melissa surprised Tyler with a tattoo of his initials!

Melissa and her mom put SO much work into the details, there was something colorful and fun around every corner!

I love a bride who can cry a bit :)

Yes, Tyler, you are a super hero :)

LOVED their cake table, they eventually had a KILLER ice cream bar too!

Always a fan of a bride who can get down!

Thank you both for being so wonderful, and to your friends and family for welcoming us into your celebration! Love you guys!!

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!
