We first photographed Kristen and Chris together nine months ago in beautiful Rockport, MA on the coast. We climbed rocks to get to the perfect location, found little alleys in between buildings were the light was just perfect and then finished it all off with the most spectacular dinner at a restaurant overlooking the ocean. Yes, that was the first time we ever photographed Kristen and Chris. But even more importantly, that was the start of our friendship, too. Over dinner that night, we discovered that we made great dinner companions and seeing how much Rene and I love to have dinner….we couldn’t let that go to waste. So over the next nine months we regularly met Kristen and Chris for dinner and laughed and chatted about a little important day that was on the horizon.
And finally just a couple of weeks ago, we were honored to be there to see Kristen and Chris finally exchange their wedding vows….and they are officially married! We had a fabulous day with them and although the weather forecast promised rain – no….not rain, more like a torrential downpour – we never saw a drop of it while we were outside! And as soon as the reception began and Kristen and Chris were dancing their first dance, the rain, thunder and lightning made their appearance. Talk about perfect timing!
We started the day separately while Kristen and Chris were getting ready. Rene arrived to find Chris taking a nap by himself on a hammock in the backyard, while I arrived to find Kristen in the middle of a houseful of friends and family all excitedly getting ready. I love that and it really describes Kristen and Chris’ personalities perfectly and why they complement each other so well.
Kristen had so many personal details everywhere – she just thought of everything. I loved the sachet for their rings….so much more personal than the jewelers box!
And she also wrapped her grandmother’s pearls, her grandfather’s watch and their wedding rings around her bouquet so they would be close to her all day:
After a beautiful ceremony held at Pilgrims Church in beautiful Harwichport, we made our way to the Wychmere Harbor Club where their reception was going to be held. As soon as we arrived, though, we made our way over to the beach behind the harbor club for a private session with Kristen and Chris. We had the beach completely to ourselves which was such a great added bonus!
It was such a beautiful day in every sense of the word. Even when the thunder and lightning arrived -we were all safely inside and enjoyed the spectacular backdrop it created during dinner. It was as if Kristen and Chris has planned it all along. You know…I wouldn’t be too surprised to find out that they did….Kristen’s that good at this stuff.
