Kim + James...

What a great couple Kim and James are, they braved the cold wind and even a few sprinkles to get these fun shots around Back Bay. I looooove shooting in Beantown, it's so inspiring to be around the character and texture of those old town houses and the way the sun glows off of the stone and brick, so sweet! Check out these two Love Birds and their Boston Engagement Shoot...

Thank you guys for being awesome subjects, and the Guinness too of course. Can't wait for the Big Day!!!

Congratulations Jennifer & Tim...

I'm sad to say that this beautiful day was my last wedding of the season, but what a fantastic way to end a great wedding year! Jennifer and Tim are the sweetest and cutest love birds around, Islanders to boot! Jennifer has immpeccable style and antique taste; everything from the ceremony Arbor to the fresh shucked clams and chowder was perfect, I was running around like a kid in a candy store photographing all of her fun details. The best part of the day however ws the undeniable love. The way that these love birds had their ceremony was so telling of their lives; a circle of their loved ones stood around them as they said "I do"; that circle of love was apparent all day and night; it was a blessing to be a part of. I am a lucky girl!

Thank you Jenny and Tim soooo much for being so awesome!!!

Edgartown Light at sunset in October with two adorable love birds... you can't get much better than that! We had so much fun with Pam and Nick's engagement shoot; at one point my iphone came alive and started playing a jazz tune from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band so Nick grabbed Pam and they danced on the lighthouse wall, it was so sweet. Thanks for braving the mucky water for me you guys, it was worth it...

I can't wait for the big day!!!

Anastassia Grace...

I had the great pleasure of meeting Anastassia Grace for a portrait shoot the other day. Stassia is an amazing soul and has quite a spiritual connection with life and it's energy, as well as the energy that flows within and without us all. Stassia is a spiritual medium; she can act as a conduit between our world and those who have transcended from our physical world. Her work amazes me and I'm curious to learn more. Portraits are my favorite photo shoots to do and this one in particular was special. Thank you Stassia for helping me to do what I love!

I Believe!

Love, Kristen

Congratulations Diana & Sean!!!

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of Photographing Diana and Sean's wedding in two of my favorite spots in Edgartown; The Daniel Fisher House and the EYC! The wedding was chock full of fun Vineyard details and colors! The ceremony was out on the lawn and although the day started out cloudy the sun broke through just in time for Diana and Sean's vows! It was an amazing day. They even had their guests second line to the EYC for the reception following brass players from the Sultans of Swing! I love weddings with so many different opportunities and locations for awesome shots, and of course awesome love birds who can't stop smiling at each other the entire day! Check them out... 

Diana and Sean you guys were awesome! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing day!

Gabe is back! And he's a year older too...

Almost 5! That's huge, way bigger than 4. Gabe is quite the character and what us New Englanders call wicked cute! It is so fun watching great kids like Gabe grow up a year at a time; so amazing. Thanks to Gabe's great mom Wendy for bringing him back to the Island! Check out their sweet little clan...

It was great to see you all again!!! I can't wait for next year! :)

Congratulations Chelsea & Sean!!!

We can all feel the difference between following our hearts and following our egos. If we allowed ourselves to always follow our hearts we would be happier; true to ourselves and content in our lives. But, in a society where normalcy is popular, and pecking orders form faster than friendships, we tend to whisper our hearts desires and shout our ego's. Being who we truly are and letting our hearts shout out is the best gift we can give to ourselves and the others around us. Today I'd like to not only congratulate Chelsea and Sean on their commitment to eachother and their amazing bond of love and compassion, but also on being true to themselves and letting their hearts shout aloud for all to see. Chelsea and Sean; everyone at your wedding was proud and amazed of your love and your true selves, we are all better for it. Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck in all of your ventures!

 

xoxo

Kristen

P.S. Chelsea; if you ever move back to the Island I would cherish being friends!

Jay & Flora V.S. The Hurricane
