Rose + George — Boston Seaport Hotel Wedding

Rose and George were married at the Boston Seaport Hotel. It was such a lovely wedding. Rose had this amazing and unique kiwi and persimmon color scheme that was carried through almost every element of their day. Their families seemed so fun and supportive and absolutely thrilled to be witnessing their nuptials. And some Krista Photography alums Jessica and Albert were there! It’s always fun to see past couples out on the dance floor!

Krista and I started out with Rose and her ladies up in her hotel suite.

Our pal Lindsay Flanagan started out with George and his guys!

Lindsay did some great portraits with the guys before they left for the ceremony.

I grabbed this of the girls helping with Rose’s dress.

I love these flowers, the color combination is so unique and gorgeous!

Then we ran down and headed out to the ceremony!

Such a sweet moment with Rose’s grandmother! She burst into tears as soon as she saw her.

Isn’t this gorgeous?!

Then onto the Public Gardens for some portraits!

Wedding at Seaport Hotel in Boston

I love how those dresses pop!

I love this!

Lindsay grabbed this of the Mariachi band during cocktail hour, love it.

Then they played for the Bride and Groom!

The room was stunning, so colorful and classy. Details from Lindsay an I.

We took some favors, fans and chop sticks and played around!

My fave! I can’t get over Rose’s set of rings, stunning!

This girl was the STAR. Seriously.

I caught this little lady in the act, that’s right, she’s shufflin’.

We made a gorgeous guest book for Rose and George, I grabbed this shot of a particularly cute entry :)

N + J – State Room Wedding Reception

Let’s start with this lovely lady. Seriously, bride, dress, ring, all AMAZING.

I seriously cannot get enough of that beading work…

This little guy was kind of the star of the show :)

We brought along a ring light to experiment! Doesn’t this girl look great?!

The flowers and tables were understated and gorgeous.

I grabbed this as the couple was introduced.

They were so happy to celebrate with all their Boston friends!

Their wedding video was beautiful!

And then there was the dancing… so fun!

I think someone may have had a little too much fun… :)

Thank you everyone for checking these two out! And to the couple, thank you both so much! It was such a pleasure working and laughing with you and your lovely families!

Kate + Reid – Surprise San Diego Wedding Details

So you all know by now how small and intimate this wedding of my sister’s was. As you can see they were married in the front yard of our beach rental house on Ocean Boulevard in San Diego. Kate and Reid got everyone together the morning of the wedding, made pancakes and set everyone to work. Everyone had a little task to do to help bring the day together, nothing too hard though :) Reid’s mom made her famous carrot cake, Reid’s dad and sister grilled, my mom made cocktails, my dad and Reid’s sister strung up Kate’s paper cranes for decoration, Reid’s sister-in-law found a florist who specialized in last minute arrangements, it was really pretty wonderful. Kate and I went out to get our nails and hair done, the boys went to get a fresh shave and when we came back to the house, all the little details were coming together and for a change we got to be surprised!

Kate folded these secretly for months…

There they are, hard at work :)

Mom doing her cocktail magic.

Yummmmm…

There were other cocktails involved too… ;)

Donna and her amazing cake.

Kate and Reid made these screen printed bags for everyone! That’s Kate’s dog “Pasta.”

I helped design these announcements and used pinholepress to print them ahead of time, Kate and Reid addressed them weeks before, and we all stuffed them the morning of and they were sent out the next day!

Now onto the good stuff! Here’s Kate’s amazing green amethyst ring from BHLDN. I try it on every time I see her…

Reid’s wedding band, he’s an engineer, what can I say…

Kate has nothing to worry about wearing heels around Reid, he’s 6’7″!

Kate says that her only requirement for her dress was that she could ride a bike in it, so when she found the gorgeous tea length dresses on French Knot Couture she sent in her measurements ASAP!

I did her makeup, in between fits of crying. At some point I seriously wasn’t sure if I could get any makeup to stay on her face!

Allana enjoyed playing in Kate’s petticoat :)

LOVE this from Allana.

Kate and I found these earrings online about a week before, aren’t they cool?!

I made her a little accent flower, she also wore a J.Crew neon sweater.

Reid had to do a little YouTube research on how to tie his bowtie.

Love love LOVE this!

The flowers were so bright and colorful.

Surprise wedding in San Diego

Yup, just 13 people all together!

This was the view from our house. Killer!

Reid’s mom brought Kate a garter from Reid’s Aunt to wear as her something borrowed. She had a little inkling that they might be surprising everyone that week :)

So cute!

My mom set up some post-ceremony Limoncello for everyone.

AAAwwwwwwwwww……

Her shoe clips were family heirlooms, so sparkly!

Are these not sexy!?!

Christy got embroidered bags for her bridesmaids, perfectly preppy!

Love the wide stripes!

Simple and stylish flowers.

I LOVE seeing old family photos, especially from their weddings! These pictures will be with you forever!

Liz + Pete – State Room Wedding Details

Liz & Pete’s details were absolutely LOVELY. Stately, chic, classic, and fun. Exactly what every State Room wedding should be… and then they just forgot all about it and danced the night away surrounded by TONS of friends and family. Exactly what we love to see :)

Let’s start with Liz’s Lazaro dress! It was intricately detailed, and seemingly custom fit to her tiny figure, she was so happy and beautiful in her dress, she just couldn’t help twirling around and running her fingers through her veil.

And of course everyone’s favorite shoes.

This comb held in her veil. Just the right amount of bling.

I grabbed her pastel and white flowers and ran around the Ames Hotel with them, all of their furniture is black white and gray, a photographer’s paradise!

The following shots are from Anne Ruthmann of Pete’s sharp suit and his groomsmen gifts.

Also from Anne from above the Ames Hotel lobby.

Liz wore her grandmother’s ring on her right hand, it was so stunningly sparkly!

The bridal party looked great together, especially from Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film!

The Lazaro bridesmaid dresses were incredible, the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. They were draped so beautifully, were just sexy enough, and were so flattering on Liz’s girls!

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross was plain old breathtaking.

We all couldn’t stop taking pictures of Liz’s dress! Can you blame us?

The pink pastels made their way into the centerpieces as well, which varied in height with rose petals to accompany them on the tables.

State Room wedding

Some seriously beautiful calligraphy.

State Room wedding

Sweet and simple cake

Love that view!

NOTHING beats a live band.

Love this from Anne!

State Room wedding

Cristen Farrell grabbed these fun shots of the photobooth.

The food at The State Room is always awesome!

Cannoli! YES!

And some bling to round it all out. I love that Pete’s ring is gold, who said they have to match?!

And a last shot from Krista’s Holga on Koday Tri-x 400 ISO/120mm film.

Just wanted to share some of my favorite details from Katelyn & Evan’s wedding at Granite Links! Between Katelyn’s TWO amazing dresses and the gorgeous flowers – this wedding was just beautiful!!

Katelyn wrapped a family rosary and bracelet around her bouquet. Well, technically, I wrapped them around the bouquet. Sometimes I need to multi-task. Still, I love personal touches like that at weddings! Sometimes it’s the little details that no one else sees that mean the most.

Shoes for Dress #1

Shoes for Dress #2… I love how different they are!

The rings

Dress #1 of 2… Monique Lhuillier lace magnificence!!

I love grey suits for the guys!

L & A’s Camden, Maine Wedding Details

A few of my favorite details from this gorgeous wedding earlier this summer…

Loved this chair – it was perfect for shooting some details!

I tied this bow myself! And yes, it came undone as she walked down the aisle. Let this be a lesson to all of you brides: make sure there is someone else there, besides your photographer, to help you get dressed! haha!

Dinner was at this wonderful restaurant called Primo. They grow their own vegetables and everything is local, and the food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I don’t normally like fancy food, but this was SO GOOD! YUMMMM!!

Lulabelle Cupcakes

One of my lovely brides, Lori, recently decided to start her own cupcake business – Lulabelle’s Cupcakes. I was super psyched when she asked me to take some photos for her – in large part because I knew that meant I’d get to EAT some CUPCAKES!! Yes!

I love that her cupcake papers fit my branding :)
