Rhetta + Bill — Adorable Arnold Arboretum Family Portraits

Krista shot Rhetta and Bill’s wedding back in 2004 when she was working in Chicago for Real Life Weddings. They then moved to Boston, and then Krista moved to Boston… you see where this is going, right? :) They reconnected for several shoots as their family began to grow (here and here) and then Rhetta and Bill moved to Houston where they currently reside. Krista has no plans to move to Houston, so now she photographs the family when they come to Boston for vacation.

THIS is what Krista Photography is all about. Getting to know a couple through the wedding process, being there to capture their growing family over the years. Hannah and Sophie have even invited Krista to come visit them in Texas, so they are basically BFFs now. :)

It certainly doesn’t hurt when the family is aDORable. And so clearly full of love for one another.

And FUN! So much fun!

Love this — Krista tells the family, “Show me your angry face.” Then it’s, “Show me your silly face!” And then it’s the money shot.

I don’t know, these girls just don’t seem to have any personality whatsoever. :)

I can’t stop smiling as I look through this session — so much goofy family fun! :)

I’m pretty sure Hannah saw a bug…

Thank you, Rhetta and Bill, for continuing to trust Krista to capture the important moments in your life! Your family is wonderful and we hope you visit Boston again SOON!!

K+L — Fabulous State Room Wedding Details

Oh man oh man have I been looking forward to this post!! Our fabulous couple was married at the State Room in downtown Boston. We had a gorgeous Fall day in Boston with these two and their lovely families, and wanted to share the absolutely stunning details with you. Just a warning, you are going to be BLINDED by diamonds in a couple seconds…

Um. YEA.

Krista had a lot of fun with these gorgeous Manolo’s!

The wonderful Lara Woolfson helped us out that day as well, she started with the boys at the Ames Hotel. We LOVE that place!

We had some gorgeous light in the Public Gardens in the afternoon!

The dresses were all matching silhouettes, with some beautifully simple white flowers.

Can’t get enough of those earrings!

Beautiful view from the State Room just before the ceremony.

The ceremony scene was so romantic!

Sushi, truffle fries, and mac and cheese!?

I mean this place was dripping in flowers!

OK, now onto the tables, which all varied in size, shape, and decoration. It was the most interesting and beautiful room!

The table arrangement was so fun!

And you know, Krista just HAD to shoot some more of those rings!

Hope you guys didn’t get blinded by all the sparkle! We have these lovely people to thank for this gorgeous event! There is more on facebook as well, thanks and see you Friday!

Baby Judah – Newborn Session

Yay! It’s time to meet Baby Judah! Krista had taken Suze’s maternity pictures just a couple of weeks before Judah was born and was very excited to return and meet this little guy when he was only a few days old!

How cute is he??

Such a sweet little family!

Poppin’ his collar. He’s already the coolest kid on the block! :)

So peaceful, yet so COOL with his little button down shirt and jeans!

If you don’t already know, I love me some baby toes! :)

Already sharing a laugh with his mama!

I mean, how can you not LOVE that little grin??

I absolutely love family history and the sharing of things between generations. So I LOVE that this is the same bassinet that Judah’s father and grandfather slept in as babies!

Su-per Ba-by!!!

Oh my… the hazards of photographing a NAKED newborn baby, especially baby BOYS! Great capture, Krista! :) I’m sure that Judah’s prom date will get a kick out of this one someday!

However, without risking a little mess a picture like this would never happen. So darn adorbs.

Judah doesn’t seem so impressed, but I am totally digging his striped hat!

LOVE.

For more of Judah’s adorable little mug, check out Facebook. And check back in on Wednesday for our next fabulous couple!!

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!). :)

LOVE that Suze wore the shawl from her wedding for some shots of her beautiful belly!

Suze, we wish you the most wonderful first Mother’s Day!! Come back again Monday to meet Baby Judah!

Laurie + Hakan — Wedding Album

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in on Laurie and Hakan’s very last post! Here’s a sneak peak into their amazing Queensberry 12×12 Matted Duo album! This thing is GORGEOUS. Lets start out with their whole little package: album, parent album, and disc of images. Wouldn’t you love to come into the studio and see this waiting for you?

They chose wisely and got this luxurious cover fabric that catches the light so amazingly, hard to translate in a photo sadly….

Here are few of my favorite pages from the design.

The Duo album allows for your pictures to bleed all the way to the edge while still being surrounded by their gorgeous mats.

And here’s
how they look in real life! Gorgeous! Love that matting!

Thanks everyone! We’ll see ya Friday for a special portrait post from Amy!

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding Details

Ok everyone, here’s a small look at all of the STUNNING details at Laurie and Hakan’s Taj wedding. There’s a glimpse of the flowers above, MORE of those later. Let’s start out with Laurie’s amazing dress, it looked great on her AND it was beautifully detailed! Check out the back!

I love seeing those sparkles and ruffles peeping out.

Laurie had some gorgeous orchids in all the bouquets.

This was shot during the ceremony on Krista’s Widelux, on Kodak Tri-X 35mm film.

Ok now onto the reception. These flowers by Columbine Florist were absolutely stunning – rich hues of red, orange, dark purple, and green made these the PERFECT autumnal arrangements. And the crew from Boston Uplighting did an incredibly meticulous job lighting each and every centerpiece. Really amazing work.

The band, Legit, totally rocked!

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!

Laurie + Hakan — Beacon Hill Engagement

Get ready y’all for the last THREE better-late-than-never couples! First up, Hakan and Laurie! They met up with Krista in Beacon Hill one lovely late Summer evening. These two are such a beautiful couple, I love their style, their cuddles, and especially their willingness to listen to Krista when she said, “Trust me, just go stand under that bridge!” – when they had NO idea what she was going for. Ok, let’s see what these two got up to on their engagement session.

See what I mean, it looks awesome!

Oh, just stop it you two! These guys are the best, and we’ve got their wedding, details AND album to drool over coming up! Woohoo! Mosey on over to facebook for more in the mean time :) See you Friday!

Bethany + Jon — Album Design

Here are some of my favorite spreads and images from Bethany & Jon’s 10×10 album design with a 6×6 copy for her parents! I designed a photo cover for her parents book, I think they look great together!

Bethany wanted to include just a few touches of color, mostly green and navy blue, into her book. I love the way this turned out!

Here’s a size comparison of the two albums.

It’s so fun to see everything in person after designing it on the computer for so long!

Alright that’s it! If you’re curious, you can see more here on Album Exposure! Enjoy and see you Wednesday!

Bethany + Jon — Ballymeade Country Club Wedding Details

Ok we already got into all the great gushy stuff from Bethany and Jon’s gorgeous wedding, so let’s get into the amazing details!

Krista went down a day early and shot the rehearsal dinner the night before. Jon’s mom, a true southern belle, took over the rehearsal decor and KILLED IT! If the wedding was a perfect preppy representation of Bethany’s New England roots, the rehearsal was a perfect picture of Jon’s southern ties. I did my best not to overload you but I mean it’s just so cute!

OK now onto Wedding Day! Bethany grew up in this stunning historic house right in downtown Falmouth. It is totally charming.

YES.

Ok, just ONE more of the shoes…

Cris Llerena, our fabulous second shooter, shot these details of Jon’s uniform.

Love me some hydrangeas.

That lace was just stunning.

This church where the coule was married is just across the street from Bethany’s house! How adorable! This was shot on Krista’s Holga with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.

It was quickly time to abandon those amazing heels… :)

Just a little Limo snuggle…

Just a few sparkles to end the night! I love Bethany’s unique rings!
