It’s not unusual to run into at least 5 other brides while you shoot in the Boston Public Gardens… this time we spotted our friend Kate shooting her own wedding!

Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

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

Meanwhile… CoCo was shooting with Joe & the guys over at the Exchange Conference Center

Then it was time for the First Look! Ashley just needed a little liquid courage before we left ;)

Clearly Joe was ready!

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

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!

Leli + Tom — China Pearl Wedding

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… :)

Meanwhile, Krista hung out with this gorgeous lady.

Tom sent her a card… cutie!

The girls hid in the back of Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston in Lexington just before the ceremony.

Zac waited at the fron of the aisle to catch Tom.

Zac grabbed this of a little cutie hiding out in the back of the church.

For portraits they headed over to Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont. I LOVE how that purple pops!

And the flowers weren’t so bad either… :)

I feel like Zac didn’t have to prompt these crazy guys to do any of this… hahaha

Lovely Leli.

Winner. Thank Zac for this one :)

Zac caught this too.

Everyone gathered at China Pearl in downtown Boston to get the party started. Fabulous Photo booth assistant Cristen Farrell caught this.

Quick costume change! Stunning!

SO many cute kids there!

Then Leli changed into ANOTHER awesome dress.

Cristen set up our super fun photo booth! With our favorite dropitmodern backdrop :) Here are some of our favorites.

LOVE these girls!!
