Jay and I were super excited and I’ll admit a little nervous to shoot Krista and Jonathan’s wedding. We were excited because we were getting to shoot another wedding on Cape Cod which we absolutely love doing!!! There is just something so relaxing about being out on the Cape, walking along the beaches, and of course stopping at Cup Cake Charlies (but we will save that for another blogpost). But as I said we were also nervous because we had never met! Seriously, they had seen our work and wanted to book! So we had booked this wedding and aside from emails, phone calls, and mail we had not met Krista and Jonathan face to face. Between our schedules it just was not in the cards to be able to meet sooner than the night before their wedding. Yep the night before!
Now for those of you who know Jay and I, we meet with our clients a few times before there big day between the actual initial meeting, the engagement session and just going out to dinner we can easily say we meet with clients about 4-5 times before the wedding. And with Krista and Jonathan we were meeting them the night before! Ahhhhh can I tell you the butterflies we had in our stomachs! These butterflies were on steroids floating around lol!
Anyways, we got to Ballymeade Country Club nice and early and the first people we met were the best man and groomsman! They were awesome and aside from the initial weirdness of who are these random people (the random people being Jay and I) they completely welcomed us in and were telling us about the couple we had never met and as the minutes ticked by we were getting more and more thrilled to meet Krista and Jonathan because we knew they were going to be awesome!! And they really were it felt immediately as though we had been friends for years and were not just random people with cameras photographing their wedding! We knew that the wedding was going to be a blast. And it really, really was! So thank you Krista and Jonathan for making us feel so welcome you two and of course Ruairi (there adorable son) were awesome and amazing to spend time with and we hope to hang out sometime soon!!
So without further ado we present Krista and Jonathan’s wedding
There were some awesome details! One of my faves being the pictures that were attached to Krista’s shoes of people and a furry best friend that she wanted to have close with her on her wedding day.
Check out these amazing flower girl dresses which Krista’s Mom Kim handmade. Yep I said it HANDMADE!!! I am so totally serious when I say they were simply amazing and a personalized detail I think that Krista and Kim will never forget!
Mom and the girlies getting Krista ready
Krista and Jonathan opted to do a first look! Which is something we totally recommend if the couple is up for it! So here is Daddy and Ruairi waiting to see how beautiful Mommy is as a bride!
Look at that smile! Jonathan seeing Krista for the first time!
Now Krista and Jonathan couldn’t kiss until the ceremony but there was definitely a passion between them when they were together it was magnetizing.
Ruairi the ring bearer walking on the beach with his cousins the flower girls
So after the beach we headed over to the Ballymeade Country Club for a few more shots and this has to be by far one of our absolute faves
And were going to the chapel and were gonna get married!!! And Bob the man presiding over the wedding was awesome and you could tell that he knew Krista and Jonathan he made the ceremony personal and even got a little teary at one point!
The sand pouring ceremony!!! What was uber cool about this particular one was that the sand that was poured represented Krista and Jonathan coming together. Okay I know that’s pretty standard but the cool part was that the sand Krista poured was from Cape Cod, United States and the sand Jonathan poured was from Ireland where he was born.
During the cocktail hour I stole Krista for a minute to do a shot at the massive windows!
The first dance as Mr and Mrs
The Flower girls watching Krista and Jonathan during their first dance and I am sure they were thinking I can’t wait for my first dance!
Okay the two groomsmen were quite the characters and you simply must check them out on our facebook site because they had a ton of fun at the wedding. But here they are serenading the groom with a little “Lean on Me”
And we will end this blogpost on a family note with Krista, Jonathan, and Ruairi celebrating the wedding out by the pond with some bubbles!!
To see more pictures be sure to check us out on facebook! And again congratulations Krista, Jonathan and Ruairi it was both an honor and a privilege shooting your wedding!
