Meet another sweet addition to the Krista Photography baby boom of 2015!  Her parents, Kristin and Anthony, were married back in 2013.  We were SO happy to hear about the arrival of baby Kayla!  I think you’ll agree that Kayla’s nursery is simply divine!

Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends!  And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby!  And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend!   You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago.  Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world.  They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly.  And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture!  :)

Poor Kayak!  She has no idea just how much life is going to be changing!  Isn’t she a beautiful dog?

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette??  I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!).  :)

Meredith + John — Lyman Estate Wedding Details

Meredith and John, when I think about your wedding details I think soft, romantic, and for some reason the word blushing comes to mind. Maybe Meredith was just that perfect blushing bride. Let’s start with her and her dress. Absolutely RADIANT.

Her hair was just so romantic and feminine.

Her dress fit her like a GLOVE.

The reception was pretty much a big house party, people danced like crazy and when they got tired, meandered through all the different rooms of the house.

And we’ll finish with a stunning long exposure of the front facade of the estate, LOVE.

Suze + Jeremy – Steele Hill Resort Wedding

Seeing as how Krista is very good friends with this lovely bride, I’m just going to quote her for a second…

“It’s an awesome thing to get to photograph your friends :) I’ve known Suze for almost 6 years now, exactly as long as I’ve lived in Massachusetts. She was one of my first friends here. We’ve been in bible studies together, sang together on the worship team at church, prayed together, talked a lot about relationships and love, and she’s even assisted me at a couple of weddings! It’s been so cool to watch over the last year since she started dating Jeremy – to see them challenge & encourage one another, and now to celebrate with them as they begin the rest of their life together. And I was doubly blessed to get to photograph their wedding day!”

That was obviously written right after their wedding because now (almost) a year later Suze and Jeremy are expecting their first child and we could not be more excited for them!

Now for wedding day, Krista and I started out with Suze as she got ready in her suite at the Steele Hill Resort. The bride and groom were desperately hoping for a beautiful snowy New England day. The scenery was GORGEOUS, but not snowy… So like their engagement session we just had to make the most of it, and boy did we!! We ended up with about two hours to run around town and take pictures of these cuties before the ceremony, which was super fun! The results of which you’ll see in a minute :)

Here’s Suze coiffing on wedding day.
