Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014! Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments? Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them? Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do? Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?! It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel

Meanwhile… CoCo was shooting with Joe & the guys over at the Exchange Conference Center

Then it was time for the First Look! Ashley just needed a little liquid courage before we left ;)

Clearly Joe was ready!

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 :)

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Laurie and Hakan were married at The Taj in Boston. It was chilly and the leaves were just barely changing color in the city. Their day was magical, the couple celebrated with their families from all over the world, and somehow they found THE one orange tree in the Public Gardens to shoot near :)

Let’s start out with Laurie, getting ready in her hotel suite.

The lovely Cristen Farrell was assisting Krista that day, and grabbed this, love the attention to detail. :)

Anne Ruthmann started with Hakan and his boys.

Off to the first look!

Love this!

Shot with Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 35mm film.

Cristen caught these little ladies goofing off, so cute!

Cristen shot from the balcony for this one. The ballroom was stunning!

Anne grabbed this of the happy couple!

I LOVE Laurie’s Mom’s face when she saw the room for the first time! Along with the photographers, she was stunned!

Here’s one of Cristen’s shots of the room, more of this on the next post (promise!), oh it was GORGEOUS!

Cristen grabbed this during their first dance, it was choreographed and everything!

Drinking out of BEAKERS? Is that allowed? :) The Maid of Honor’s toast was AWESOME!! Perfect for these two chemists, she even related their love to covalent bonds and all sorts of things we barely understood, and ended with a champagne toast from beakers… perfect!

Get down with your bad self, Hakan!

LOVE this from Cristen!

What a super fun day this was! Laurie and Hakan, you and your families were absolutely wonderful to work and party with! :) Thank you so much for inviting us in to document your love! Now don’t forget to come back Monday for their crazy beautiful details! And check out facebook for more :) See you Monday!

Christine + Vu — Exchange Conference Center Wedding

Christine and Vu started their day off at the Renaissance Waterfront in Boston, where they were both surrounded by their family and MANY groomsmen and bridesmaids. It made for a super fun atmosphere. The girls were primped, the guys got pizza, typical right??

Let’s start off with a shot from Krista’s Widelux, shot on Tri-X 35mm/ISO 400

THAT VEIL. Just stunning.

Krista was joined by the lovely Erin Chapman, who hung out with the dudes as they prepped.

HAHA! Yes he is wearing his suit bag over his clothes.

Again. THAT VEIL.

Then over to St. Cecilia’s for their gorgeous ceremony!

Love this moment from Erin.

Krista’s assistant Casey Atkins grabbed this from the balcony, so fun!

So pretty!

Making it “official” on FB… :)

This was shot on Krista’s Holga, with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.

Christine did a quick hair change before the reception, which for all you ladies getting married in the Summer, this was SUCH a good idea on such a hot and humid day! Who doesn’t want to look their best ALL day??

Love this angle on the first dance!

You may recognize this lovely lady from our Christmas card this year! WE LOVE HER.

A creative use of their Scrabble details (more on that Friday)!

However hot it was that day it was all totally worth it! What a love fest this was! Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!!

And we’ll se you all Friday for their creative and cute Scrabble details! DON’T miss it! And check Facebook in the meantime :)

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.

Angie & Matt’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

Angie & Matt’s wedding was awesome, but one of my favorite things about it was that I got to shoot a bunch of FILM for them! I got my start in wedding photography shooting for an all black & white film studio, and I still love it :) Digital is fabulous, and totally has taken over the industry. But, film still has a place, in my opinion. There’s nothing quite so timeless as black & white film. It just looks classic. Clearly, I love it. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite film shots from Angie & Matt’s wedding day…

Angie getting ready (shot with 35mm Tri-X 400 on my Nikon F100 & 50mm f/1.4)

The ceremony (shot on 35mm Tri-X 400 with the Widelux)

Portraits in the Public Gardens (shot on 35mm Tri-X 400 with my Nikon F100 & 50mm f/1.4)

(shot on 35mm Tri-X 400 with the Widelux)

The View from the Taj

The Taj set up for the reception (shot on 35mm Tri-X 400 with the Widelux, then with the F100)

A few from the reception (shot on 120 Tri-X 400 with the Holga and a Vivitar 283 flash)

suspenders!

Chucks!

looooooove the black & white tile! It’s so perfect for b&w film!

Double Exposure

Last shot of the night! (35mm Tri-X 400 with Nikon F100)

Angie & Matt – HUGE thanks for giving me the freedom to shoot some film for you!! I hope you love how it turned out!

As always, you can see more on Facebook!

Anne & Sean’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

Anne & Sean got married in Hingham this Fall and their wedding had such a cool flare to it! They got married at Old Ship Church and had their reception at Old Derby, they even had some old militiamen around to fire off some muskets! It was an awesome blend of old with a modern flair. I think black & white film was a perfect fit to capture some of that feel! I wish I could have shot the whole day in film! But as you’ll see in a couple days, the digital was pretty cool too :) Here are a few of my favorites…

Holga

Widelux shots in Old Ship Church

A couple details from Old Derby, on the Holga

Militiamen on the Widelux!

And a couple of portraits of Anne & Sean taken with my Nikon F100.

Anne & Sean – I hope you guys love the film images! The digital images are in the final stages of editing and should be up in just a few days!! I can’t wait to share them with you :)
