Leli + Tom — China Pearl Wedding

China Pearl wedding in Boston

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!”

I think he’s kind of a goof ball don’t you… :)

Linan + Steven — Hyatt Harborside Wedding

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.
