Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding Details

Lori & Jim’s wedding details were beautiful, simple and classy, and practically perfect in every way! Take a look at some of my favorites!

They used a huge cork board made from wine bottle corks for the place cards – it was dreamy! They had to drink a LOT of wine to make it, but I’m sure it was worth the effort ;) Before they pinned all the cards on it, I had to play with it a bit!

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding in Film

I am primarily a digital photographer, but I started out shooting all black & white film weddings – and I miss it sometimes!! So, every once in a while I take my film cameras along to a wedding and have a little fun with film. This time I even used some, gasp, COLOR film! Haha, haven’t done that in YEARS! Totally worth it though :)

Panoramic of the girls getting ready. Shot on my Wideluxe with Kodak Tri-X 400.

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding

060113_D0416-blog

Are you ready for this?! Lori, in her Jenny Packham dress and Jim as dapper as can be, were married at the stunningly beautiful Mack House in Chatham on Cape Cod. It was an amazing day, and these two looked like they were straight out of a movie!

Lori & the girls got ready at the Mack House where the wedding was held – love that space! She had these cute pink robes for each bridesmaid with their initial on them – so fun!

Jim and the guys got ready over at the Chatham Bars Inn, and my fabulous Associate CoCo was there to capture it all

Haha, I love this!

So dashing!

Back at the house, it was time to get Lori into her breathtaking Jenny Packham dress! I mean that literally, I totally gasped when I saw it! Such a stunner!

Our third shooter for the day, and the talented calligrapher behind all of the stationary, Jessica Ulrich, caught bridesmaid Jillian reacting to Lori in her dress.

060113_D0367-Edit

Lori, you’re so beautiful!!

Our very dapper groom! I mean, he looks like Dean Martin or something!

060113_D0391-Edit

Time for the First Look!

Jim’s reaction is priceless! Great capture, CoCo!

So happy!

Gentlemen

You know, just hanging out with her best friends, no biggie

Time for the ceremony! Grandma’s ready! Love these two from CoCo!

Lori & her Dad

I wish I had heard what Jim & Lori’s Dad said to each other here!! Everyone was cracking up!

CoCo’s view

Such a lovely place for a wedding!

More laughter! Always a good thing!

Married!!

Post-ceremony bliss! My favorite moment of the day!!

Groomsmen, every wedding’s best comic relief

Lori & Jim were totally done with portraits, but I just HAD to sit them down for a moment in this beautiful light! And then they did this… and it’s my favorite photo of the day! So glad we took that extra 2 minutes to make it happen!

Cocktail Hour! It’s always so nice when we get the portraits done before the ceremony so they can enjoy, and I can actually shoot this part of the day!

Cheers!

It’s never too late to finish writing your Best Man Toast! He assures me he got it done with plenty of time to spare!

Our girl Amy came along with us for her very first wedding! She snagged this great shot from the deck! Pretty sweet first wedding to shoot, I must say!

Gorgeous! Oh, how I love the Cape!

Then it was reception time! I snagged this right before Lori & Jim walked into the tent – they look ready, don’t they?!

Love these that Jessica captured of the first dance!

Toasts!

Amazing

Keepin’ it classy

Had to go out on the dock and get a shot of the tent at night! I love me some blue skies at twilight!

Lori & Jim – THANK YOU! We absolutely loved being a part of your day, and wish you so much happiness!!

Big thanks to my super sized Krista Photography team for the day – CoCo, Amy & Jessica! You guys not only rocked, but made the day, and the whole weekend even more delightful! xoxo

Be sure to come back Monday to check out some of my film images from the wedding! We had to shoot a few at least! And head on over to Facebook to view more of my favorites from Lori & Jim’s wedding weekend!

Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Rehearsal Dinner

Oh, I’m so excited to share this weekend of wedding excitement with you! Let’s kick things off with Lori & Jim’s clam bake rehearsal dinner at Lori’s parents’ house!

Best thing about having the party at home was that Kayla could come!! She had an awesome time wondering around, getting her belly rubbed by pretty much everyone, splashing in the creek, and begging at tables :) She looks so innocent here though!

Our handsome groom-to-be

And our beautiful bride-to-be

Haha, I have SO been this bridesmaid!! It’s hard to put the camera down sometimes when things are just so dang beautiful!

Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

Ew!!!! Oh, I mean, yum… yeah that’s it ;)

Big shout out to Stacie Shea Events for pulling everything together so beautifully and making it all run so smoothly!

There were a few spontaneous toasts that left everyone laughing, and left me kinda wishing I’d known Jim in college :)

So lovely!

One last portrait to end the evening! Gotta rest up, there’s a big wedding tomorrow!!

I love getting to be a part of the rehearsal dinner, and the whole weekend of celebrations. It’s such a great opportunity to meet all of your favorite people in the world and get everybody comfortable with being photographed by me. So on the wedding day, not only are you totally comfortable and confident, but so are all your family and closest friends! It’s so great!!!

Come back on Friday to see more for Lori & Jim’s FABULOUS wedding! But if you can’t bear to wait, head on over to Facebook to check out all of my favorites from the weekend!

Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Engagement Portraits

We shot Lori & Jim’s engagement session on the Cape, on a cold blustery Spring day. We met up at her parents’ house and took a walk down to the beach. Of course, they had to bring along their dog, Kayla! I think she may have had the best time out of all of us! It always amazes me that dogs will run in the ocean, even when it’s FREEZING! Crazy little puppy! Look at her go!

You’ve got to snuggle to stay warm sometimes!

Please Keep Off… whoops!

Love it!

Oh Kayla, your tiny little legs are so cute!

Lori’s rain boots are awesome, clearly

I loved this little wood on the walk back to the house!

After we warmed up in the house, we were ready for round two in the backyard – without coats even! How much do you love this back yard?!

FAVORITE!

Lori & Jim, thank you for making the trip up to the Cape for our shoot! It was fun hanging out with you guys and getting to know you a bit – cold or no! Hard to believe it was ever cold when your wedding day was so perfectly lovely… but more about that in the next few posts!

Ariel + Joshua — Camp Wedding on Lake Ossipee, NH

Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!

The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)

Just a little excited ;)

Some portraits with the ladies before the festivities get started

Photo by my lovely assistant, Cristen Farrell

Such a natural beauty!

Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…

I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!

LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!

And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!

This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!

LOVE these moments!

Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…

My view of the Ketubah signing from the other side of the table

Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!

In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.

Cristen’s view of the kiss

RUNNING out the door!

An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!

“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)

This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!

Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!

A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!

Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!

Cristen captured these amazing moments!

This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)

The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!

Wedding at Camp Cody in Freedom, New Hampshire

Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!

More Josh awesomeness…

A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!

And a parting shot of the beautiful night sky above the tent! What a great night for a wedding!

Big shout out to these Vendors who made the day so fantastic!

Venue: Camp Cody

Invitations: Lila Fagen

Rings: Stowe Gems Jewelry

Wedding Gown: David’s Bridal

Baby AJ – Eight Month Portrait Session

Baby AJ is heading towards his first birthday!! Krista caught up with the family at their home to check in and capture all of the cute things AJ is doing these days.

AJ’s eyes are still amazing! And what a happy little guy he is!

Look who’s sitting up all on his own! Go AJ!

Already thinking like a big boy: You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate. :)

Who doesn’t love a go on the swing?

Look at Delia go! SUCH a big girl!

So sweet!

Next time we check in with this family, AJ will be ONE! Come back soon to see one of our Associate CoCo’s new couples!

Baby AJ – Four Month Portrait Session

Baby AJ is getting bigger! And he’s SO full of grins! Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old. In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age… :)

He’s gonna be a heartbreaker with those big blue eyes!!

Doesn’t AJ look so proud of himself in this one?

Tummy time sure is hard work, especially when the grown-ups toss a blanket over your head! :)

Delia showed off her skills on the swingset. It’s so fun to see how much she has grown since Krista first met her!

Totally tuckered out. :)

Next up–AJ at eight months! How quickly the time is flying by! Thank you, Eileen and Fabio, for allowing us to share your beautiful family. :)

Baby AJ – Newborn Session

Time to meet little AJ! But first, big sister must get herself camera-ready. :)

AJ had his own way of preparing for the shoot! :)

I love this quiet moment caught between mama and her new baby.

Oh my goodness, the hair on this boy!! (Much like big sister had when she was a newborn!)

I LOVE the way Delia is gazing down at her brother in this one!

Such a silly sister!

Hello there, little man. :)

While I do have a bit of a thing for baby toes, these little fingers are SO darling! Such perfection.

Savoring a quiet moment.

Krista has now finished Baby AJ’s year-in-the-life sessions, so stay tuned to see more of this growing boy!!

Baby AJ – Maternity Shoot

I have another sweet family to share with you, starting with their very colorful maternity shoot taken at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield. Eileen and Fabio had Year-In-The-Life Portraits taken back in 2009 as they welcomed little Delia into their family. (Check them out here!)
