Krista was so happy to hear from Jesse and Julie!  She photographed Jesse’s sister Meredith’s wedding several years ago and his other sister, Adrienne, and her family (remember Joel and Seth?!) this spring.  What a fun pair of boys Krista spent the day with!!

Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

Spring Wedding at the Boston Exchange Conference Center

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014!  Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments?  Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them?  Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do?  Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?!  It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel
