Lori and Jim ran around the beach in Dennis, MA with Krista. They brought their adorable dog and had a great time. We can’t wait to see them this Saturday for their wedding! Woohoo!
It was pretty windy out there but don’t they still look great?!
They stepped away from the wind for a second…
And grabbed some of these, my favorites!
So cute!
My favorite!
Thank you both! We can’t wait to party with you this weekend! Check out their Facebook album for more!
Hey everyone! Wedding season is ramping up over here at Krista Photography, and now that I’m DONE with our better-late-then-never posts, I have a little more room to show you some of my work! This is Anna Kathryn (AK, as we call her) and Joel. Anna Kathryn does fabulous hair and Joel is a musician, they are both friends of Krista’s, and duh, they are insanely adorable. I shot their wedding in September 2011, oh my gosh, has it been TWO years, it feels like yesterday. Crazy! Anyways, about a month beforehand we got together on an otherwise dreary afternoon in downtown Boston. We started out near Berkelee College of Music where Joel went to school and romped around from there… Feast your eyes on these cuties!
Love!
We explored and found this awesome little nook behind a building.
Of course we had to get over to Mike’s pastry for a snack!
MMMM!!
Love their nerdy T-shirts!
Wait, which way do we stand…
We found a little street fair over in the North End, there was just the right amount of people there!
I loved the look of this little street, so we hung out for a second and then someone shot off firecrackers! It was awesome.
Thanks for taking a look! Now just you wait until Monday for their intimate vintage wedding in Rockport! And like us on facebook in the mean time!
Horray!! It’s my very last better-late-then-never couple! I can’t believe it, just ONE MORE POST after this. What am I going to do when I don’t have to blog anymore?! Oh, that’s right blog all of our amazing NEW couples coming up next month, YES! But patience, good things come to those who wait.
Ok, here we go, meet Paul and Casey, some of the cutest people ever! These two romped all around Newport, RI with Krista one lovely evening. They caught some gorgeous light, found some really cute spaces, and had a fantastic time! I also must commend Casey’s color choice, I LOVE a guy in neutral and a girl in a gorgeous pop of color. They look great!
That light! Dang!
Snuggles and giggles, my favorite :)
That soft sunset glow! Gorgeous!
Thank you Casey and Paul! ‘Like’ us and check out more on facebook! We’ll see you onWednesday for my VERY LAST POST!
Oh man oh man have I been looking forward to this post!! Our fabulous couple was married at the State Room in downtown Boston. We had a gorgeous Fall day in Boston with these two and their lovely families, and wanted to share the absolutely stunning details with you. Just a warning, you are going to be BLINDED by diamonds in a couple seconds…
Um. YEA.
Krista had a lot of fun with these gorgeous Manolo’s!
The wonderful Lara Woolfson helped us out that day as well, she started with the boys at the Ames Hotel. We LOVE that place!
We had some gorgeous light in the Public Gardens in the afternoon!
The dresses were all matching silhouettes, with some beautifully simple white flowers.
Can’t get enough of those earrings!
Beautiful view from the State Room just before the ceremony.
The ceremony scene was so romantic!
Sushi, truffle fries, and mac and cheese!?
I mean this place was dripping in flowers!
OK, now onto the tables, which all varied in size, shape, and decoration. It was the most interesting and beautiful room!
The table arrangement was so fun!
And you know, Krista just HAD to shoot some more of those rings!
Hope you guys didn’t get blinded by all the sparkle! We have these lovely people to thank for this gorgeous event! There is more on facebook as well, thanks and see you Friday!

Ok everyone, here’s a small look at all of the STUNNING details at Laurie and Hakan’s Taj wedding. There’s a glimpse of the flowers above, MORE of those later. Let’s start out with Laurie’s amazing dress, it looked great on her AND it was beautifully detailed! Check out the back!
I love seeing those sparkles and ruffles peeping out.
Laurie had some gorgeous orchids in all the bouquets.
This was shot during the ceremony on Krista’s Widelux, on Kodak Tri-X 35mm film.
Ok now onto the reception. These flowers by Columbine Florist were absolutely stunning – rich hues of red, orange, dark purple, and green made these the PERFECT autumnal arrangements. And the crew from Boston Uplighting did an incredibly meticulous job lighting each and every centerpiece. Really amazing work.
The band, Legit, totally rocked!

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.
The lovely Cristen Farrell was assisting Krista that day, and grabbed this, love the attention to detail. :)
Anne Ruthmann started with Hakan and his boys.
Off to the first look!
Love this!
Shot with Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 35mm film.
Cristen caught these little ladies goofing off, so cute!
Cristen shot from the balcony for this one. The ballroom was stunning!
Anne grabbed this of the happy couple!
I LOVE Laurie’s Mom’s face when she saw the room for the first time! Along with the photographers, she was stunned!
Here’s one of Cristen’s shots of the room, more of this on the next post (promise!), oh it was GORGEOUS!
Cristen grabbed this during their first dance, it was choreographed and everything!
Drinking out of BEAKERS? Is that allowed? :) The Maid of Honor’s toast was AWESOME!! Perfect for these two chemists, she even related their love to covalent bonds and all sorts of things we barely understood, and ended with a champagne toast from beakers… perfect!
Get down with your bad self, Hakan!
LOVE this from Cristen!
What a super fun day this was! Laurie and Hakan, you and your families were absolutely wonderful to work and party with! :) Thank you so much for inviting us in to document your love! Now don’t forget to come back Monday for their crazy beautiful details! And check out facebook for more :) See you Monday!
Get ready y’all for the last THREE better-late-than-never couples! First up, Hakan and Laurie! They met up with Krista in Beacon Hill one lovely late Summer evening. These two are such a beautiful couple, I love their style, their cuddles, and especially their willingness to listen to Krista when she said, “Trust me, just go stand under that bridge!” – when they had NO idea what she was going for. Ok, let’s see what these two got up to on their engagement session.
See what I mean, it looks awesome!
Oh, just stop it you two! These guys are the best, and we’ve got their wedding, details AND album to drool over coming up! Woohoo! Mosey on over to facebook for more in the mean time :) See you Friday!
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!
OK now onto Wedding Day! Bethany grew up in this stunning historic house right in downtown Falmouth. It is totally charming.
YES.
Ok, just ONE more of the shoes…
Cris Llerena, our fabulous second shooter, shot these details of Jon’s uniform.
Love me some hydrangeas.
That lace was just stunning.
This church where the coule was married is just across the street from Bethany’s house! How adorable! This was shot on Krista’s Holga with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.
It was quickly time to abandon those amazing heels… :)
Just a little Limo snuggle…
Just a few sparkles to end the night! I love Bethany’s unique rings!
Thanks for taking a look, pop over to facebook for more! See you Monday for a peak into their album design!

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.
This DRESS! Could it be more classic?
Shoes: killer.
I grabbed this in the dramatic light of the bathroom.
We were so happy to work with Cris Llerena for the first time, she was fantastic and started with Jon and his guys across the street.
He looked so dashing in his uniform.
Jon and his brother.
Lovely ladies!
A family tradition: Game Face.
Just a quick walk across the green to the church.
I grabbed this from the balcony as Bethany came down the aisle, Jon could not stop fiddling with his cuffs, it was really cute.
Cris killed it with a little tilt-shift action.
A sweet receiving line moment from Cris.
Love these two!
No big deal guys, just a game face family portrait. Hahaha!
This bridal party portrait shot on Krista’s Holga, with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.
This was shot on Krista’s F100 with Kodak Tri-x 35mm film. So dreamy!
Off to cocktail hour!
Cris caught this of the Bride and Groom as they were introduced.
And I got this of their frist dance. So dang cute!
Cris caught these super cute kids fooling around…
And this, are you sensing a theme?
Here are some favorites from the party, the dance floor was packed!
Bethany had a great costume change! Absolutely one of our favorite reception dresses.
I caught the next two. Shoulda’ put a ring on it!
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!
We are getting closer and closer to being completely caught up with our better-late-than-never couples! Just FOUR more to go!! Can you believe it?? I’m so excited! And you all say, “Yes CoCo, we are very excited too, now get on with it, who are these adorable people??”
OK OK fine :) Krista met up with Bethany & Jon down in Falmouth, MA, where Bethany grew up and where they would eventually be married. We LOVE shooting in a place that means something to you, it just makes it that more special!
These two romped around The Knob while Krista tagged along and shot some simple, sweet, natural pictures, just how we like it :)
This is Bethany’s Favorite! I think it’s mine too!
Love this series!
Such cuties these two! If you are like me and can’t get enough, check out their facebook album, and come back Wednesday for their Cape Cod wedding!!
