Krista and Darren & Max's Post Wedding Shoot- New Years Day (Brrrrr...)

When Krista and Darren came to visit me during their planning process, they didn't come alone. They had a friend along... the very fabulous and charismatic Max (see photo below). I immediately started scheming for ways to get Max included in the wedding photos.

Voila! A photo shoot the day after the wedding! Solves the problem of not getting any daylight photos on New Years Eve- and gets Max included in the photos. Perfect!

Now, keep in mind that the temperature is about 10 below... luckily Max is wearing his coat.

Krista also appeared with this fun purple coat & orange boots!

This is really what I wanted, a nice soft daylight portrait... check.

At this point, Max's paws literally freeze to the brick walkway and he decides to make a B-Line to the car where it's warm and cozy.

No matter, we got the shot.

I'm not quite finished torturing Krista and Darren though... they got married in Bristol, which if you don't know it is a gorgeous seaside town... and now that it is light out we can see that they are actually right on the water.

I also really wanted to get a shot of them in front of their venue, since we weren't able to do it the night before.

This is my favorite shot from both days- it's just so fun! Love the boots- love the blue sky, love how cute they are looking at each other.

Romantical...

...and they're off to Belize!

Hope you guys are having a terrific time in the sun, see you when you get back!

Krista and Darren at Linden Place (New Year's Eve) Part 2

After the ceremony, we ducked back into the mansion for some "formal" photos. Here is the whole gang, warm and dry. We had the whole house to ourselves, which was nice. Meanwhile, the caterers were breraking down the ceremony and setting up the reception while the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour...

A little snuggling on this fantastic couch...Isn't the bottom of Krista's dress terrific?!

A classic portrait... got to have it!

Now it's time for the party so we head back over to the carriage house where cocktails await!

But first a quick pic outside these fun doors...

Fun, yes... but also very heavy! Darren is ready for a cocktail!

One of the best moments is always when the bride and the groom see their venue decorated for the first time- here Darren and Krista are taking it all in... a sneaky photo by Trish, I love it!

Nice detail of the place cards- love the cork, very festive for new years!

These table arrangements are terrific too, I don't know what these papery "sticks" (for lack of a better word) are called but I think they are really cool.

More sticks! And little birds on the cake- adorable and wintery!

Krista's bridesmaids gave a funny toast about her indecisiveness about the wedding planning, but absolute decisiveness about Darren being the guy for her!
