D2415_D0453-Edit

Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate.

T + P — Boston College Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Boston College Club Wedding

I dare say, I have never heard “Thank You” as many times in one day as I heard from T & P on their wedding day. These two and their families are so wonderfully genuine, kind, and altogether fabulous, it was such a pleasure spending the day with them, let alone photographing them! T got ready at her parents’ house, full of bridesmaids, kids and family, it was frantic and fun.

Rose + George — Boston Seaport Hotel Wedding

Wedding at Seaport Hotel in Boston

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.

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!”
