This day was AMAZING. Mike and Kyle planned their Cape Cod wedding to the T and aside from some rain, it went off without a hitch. No little detail was left out, their guests were treated like absolute royalty, the sun peeked out just in time for some portraits, and at the end of the day they let go and danced like there was no tomorrow… what more can you ask for?!
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!
Gift bags for the out of town guests
Custom robes for the ladies! Lori’s totally reminded me of Laverne & Shirley :)
Lori’s dress and her shoes were both AMAZING! Love love LOVE them!
Lori’s simply lovely bouquet
Jim’s cuff links are awesome! Not to mention those snazzy shoes!
Love Jim’s tie!
Photographers working hard…
The Mack House is such a fun location!
The ladies from Stacie Shea Events worked hard to make everything run smoothly and look fabulous! SO well done!
Sperry Tents are my favorite
Cocktail Hour
Every table was just a little bit different! The green & white was so simple and lovely!
The Head Tables were long wooden tables – loved it
Stationary by Jessica Ink – gorgeous!
The Cake
Sunset and a perfectly clear night

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 :)

Come back Wednesday to see Lori & Jim’s classic details!
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.
Lori, you’re so beautiful!!
Our very dapper groom! I mean, he looks like Dean Martin or something!
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!
Time to hit the dance floor! Greg from Beat Train Productions kept it awesome all night long, as usual!
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!
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!
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!
