We are so happy for Kristina and Ed! As with a lot of couples, most of their friends also got married right around the same time as them. The big difference, though, is that we’ve been photographing a lot of those weddings, too! So if Kristina wasn’t actually a bridesmaid in those weddings, they she and Ed were attending as guests. So we really felt right at home among all of their family and friends, most of whom we already knew from previous weddings! But this weekend, it was FINALLY Kristina and Ed’s turn!
They promised us that they would have fun the entire day and they meant it. Even though it was raining on and off all day, we were able to take a short drive after the ceremony to some beautiful grounds for some photos. The timing was absolutely flawless because as Kristina and Ed arrived at the reception hall, the sky opened up and it began pouring again and lasted for the rest of the night. The timing may have been perfect, but after knowing Kristina for this long, I have to tell you that I wasn’t even surprised. She really planned the entire wedding like a pro! She admitted that me that she felt like she was a bit of a bridezilla sometimes, but I have to tell you, Kristina, after seeing how it all turned out — all of that hard work was definitely worth it!
Here are a couple of images that we just loved. This was of Kristina having some fun and working it a little, too!
This is another one that both Rene and I just loved. I’m pretty sure that we’ll never know what Kristina was telling Ed here, but whatever it was gave us a glimpse of his beautiful smile. And I just love that you can also see their son Andrew just patiently waiting in the background. I’m sure he didn’t realize that he was going to be part of the action for this one!
Andrew really is one cool kid. He’s not only so handsome (not a surprise, though, since since Kristina and Ed are just gorgeous!) but he really has such a great personality, too. After being around him all day, I definitely would have guessed that he’s much older than he actually is!
Here’s one more photo of Andrew that I got at the reception. I was using the candles that were on the table as the only source of lighting for him. This is definitely one of my favorites:
So Kristina and Ed are now off on their honeymoon for the next ten days! We can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back!
