DJ and Jeff: From California to Their Nantucket Wedding
DJ and Jeff could not have had a more perfect Nantucket wedding! Here is what DJ says in an email to me directly after the wedding: "A HUGE thank you to you and Mark for being our photographers for our big special day this past Saturday. It was truly the wedding of our dreams and you are the photographer of my dreams!! Everything was so perfect!" From her Vera Wang shoes and dress, to the vendors and venues DJ chose for her wedding it honestly could not have been better. A special thanks to my second shooter, the talented Mark Crosby, who did a wonderful job from the balcony of the First Congregational Church (the recessional), who is a whiz with the wide angle at Brant Point and who grabbed to great shot of DJ and Jeff being announced at their reception.

Kelly and Zach Get Married on Nantucket!
Kelly actually found me on Facebook! She used to work at the pharmacy on Main Street so we stopped up there for some photos. Their intimate Nantucket wedding was in a private Monomoy home with close friends and family. I was so honored to be a part of their day. Kelly, you are so adorable.      Labels: Recent Weddings
Second Shooter Shots Sure Shine!
It seems that my second shooter George (who is an aerial and real estate photographer and a pilot) had some fun at Brooke and Moh's Vineyard wedding a couple weekends ago! From grabbing an aerial on his way over Chappy to some very creative shots during the day, George was able to work angles that I couldn't grab. That's the beauty of having another set of eyes at your wedding. A couple of notes: The balcony view of the recession down the aisle may have been an accident of a very low shutter speed, but it sure does capture a feeling! While Brooke was twirling her new husband was checking football scores on his Blackberry. The very last shot is a series of shots of the tent put together in photoshop to make the panoramic. Thank you George of Over Nantucket for the great shots and also for the ride home to the other island! I'm looking forward to our next wedding and plane ride to the Berkshires in a couple of weeks.          Labels: Recent Weddings
Rain, Rain, You Don't Have to Go Away! A Vineyard Wedding.
What a wedding! I think I had just as much fun as the couple (well, probably not, but close!). It just shows that the rain does not have to take away from the photographs. From the beautiful little church in Edgartown to the Chappy ferry to the biplane to the Jeepster back at The Field Club we had a wonderful day for pictures. The guys at the Katama airfield actually rolled the biplane out of the hangar for us and the Chappy ferry guys took off from the dock for the photo op! I loved Brooke and Moh's theme of transportation for the photographs! It couldn't have been more creative. Thanks to Brooke and Moh for their incredible spirit and love; you guys made it easy for me. The families, the venue, the entire wedding couldn't have been better! Event design by David Beahm Design. Reception at The Field Club in Edgartown. Stay tuned for next blog entry for some more shots from the wedding by my second shooter and aerial photographer, George Riethof, of Over Nantucket, who, thanks to his multiple talents, got me home in one piece the very same night.

A Few of My Favorite Images
It has been a busy summer for me between Nantucket weddings and Boston weddings. The first wedding was at the Boston Harbor Hotel which was spectacular in itself, but Melissa and Pat really made my day when they agreed to be photographed on a little Boston carousal! Caroline and Jeff, on the other hand, made an amazing discovery during their wedding: a hurricane does not make or break the day. Their wedding was moved from a garden tent to the Siasconset Casino thanks to the talented Kendra Lockley from Simply with Style. Nantucketers are always prepared for anything! I promise to post more soon, but today I'm off to the Vineyard to shoot a wonderful wedding in Edgartown!         Labels: Recent Weddings
An Intimate Nantucket Wedding
Sarah and Scott found me a little over a month ago. They wanted to get married on Nantucket during Scott's annual family vacation in Monomoy and started putting out feelers for their wedding plans. They live in LA and during a light interaction at Sarah's workplace discovered that one of her regular clients had Nantucket connections. Well, it turns out that the connection was my former sister-in-law (who lives in LA) who recommended me as the "best" Nantucket wedding photographer! So, I was honored and thrilled to shoot their wedding. The shot below was taken in Monomoy which is personally one of my favorite spots on the island. I don't think I've ever taken a bridal couple down there before! It was glorious. The three black and whites were taken at the Wauwinet where they had their ceremony on the yoga deck. I love small and intimate weddings. Thank you guys and congratulations on ALL fronts!     Labels: Recent Weddings
Changing Light on Boston Harbor
A View of the Tent of the Tent With a View
Amanda and Peter were married last Saturday at the home of the groom's family in Shimmo on Nantucket and I wanted to share with you some various shots we took either of the tent, from the tent or in the tent. The tent went up a few days before and I happened to have been on an aerial photo shoot with George Riethof of Over Nantucket and grabbed this aerial of it. Aisling Glynn of ACKtivities coordinated the entire wedding; I love working with her! She told me that her idea was to build the floor for the tent straight out from the house so that the guests had the illusion that there was nothing between them and the ocean. It worked! It almost felt as if we were on a ship looking out onto the water. Great foresight and great execution by Chase Canopy. The decor and floral design was so elegant and matched the harbor setting. Dawn Kelly and her team of Soiree Floral outdid themselves again! I've been working with them a lot this season and they take a really unique approach to each wedding and each bride's individual taste. Check out the tabletops too provided by Placesetters!

Backlight at a Brewster Beach
  I love backlight. I love backlight. I love backlight. There! Did I say it enough? Romantic, soft, flattering. I always have a wedding guest ask, "Isn't the sun supposed to behind you?" or "Why are you shooting into the sun?" Well, I just smile and thank them for their help, but really, the feeling that is created by backlighting your subject is just plain sexy. The top image was taken with my new baby, the Nikon D700, and the bottom one with my workhorse, the Nikon D3. Raw files tweaked and played around with a little, but not too much. Thanks to Jen and Liam for trekking across the sandbar (Jen was actually carried out there!) and making my job so easy. I love backlight and I love what I do! Labels: Recent Weddings
Daddy's Little Girl-A Wedding in Brewster
Lots of Fun in the Nantucket Sun: A Friday Wedding in June.
Kate and Dan were all about having fun! They shared their love with me and it shows in their pictures! Nantucket is a wedding photographer's dream with Main Street, the roses and fences, old Pacific Bank, the impromptu use of the Lily Pulitzer jeep, Easy Street and finally the reception at The Whaling Museum. These two were up for anything and made my day extra fun and easy and I thank them for that. Giving and showing your love makes your pictures 1000 times better. So, this entry is all about fun and love and showing it. I wish you two a long life of happiness together.

Quintessential Nantucket Wedding
Leila and Steve were married the other day at the First Congregational Church on Nantucket Island and had their reception at the groom's grandparent's home on the waterfront in Squam. The bride got ready at a home her family rented across the street from the church so she got to have a sneak peek at guests arriving. Her bridesmaids wore the most wonderful shade of pink and carried bouquets created by Soiree Floral. We stopped at a couple of secret locations along the way to Squam ; ) for some portraits of the couple. They were such troopers and gave a lot to me in the way of working the camera!         The night ended with an impromptu firework display, and the groom, much to everyone's delight, jamming an amazing tune for his bride and guests! I have to mention a few of the vendors: One of my favorite Nantucket wedding planners is Aisling of ACKtivities because she is so calm, sweet and organized. A Taste of Nantucket did a fab job on the food. A shout to Jen at Placesetters! Another very cool thing is that George from Over Nantucket did a fly by and captured the entire scene by air. As you can see there is yours truly completely distracted and waving at him excitedly. He actually uploaded this photo to Facebook and I got to see it before I got home that night. I am excited about the prospect of offering this service to our future clients. Thanks George! Labels: Recent Weddings
June 20: Tammy and Ronnie's Lucky Day
The getting ready part of the day is one of my favorite times to photograph the details. I found this little calendar and Tammy's name scheduled in the date book at The Cut Above when I arrived to photograph Tammy getting her hair done. Later at Tresses, where Tammy got her makeup done, I found their notes that had been recorded during their trial session. Dawn Kelly of Soiree Floral created the daisy orbs that Tammy described as being "exactly" what she had envisioned.        A heartfelt congratulations to Tammy and Ronnie who after being together 15 years finally got married last weekend at their home on Nantucket! I have known Ronnie since he was a kid and he has always been one of the nicest kids around. Now he's joined in marriage to his sweetheart and their wedding was amazing. We did not expect good weather at all, but we were blessed with a gorgeous and warm day here on Nantucket and everyone was grateful. These two were so fun to photograph and their details were so cute. Kendra Lockley of Simply with Style put out a mean filet mignon (I know because I got to try it!) While we were in the car going around to some awesome Nantucket photo spots I asked them if being married would change anything for them and they said, "Not at all. We've been together 15 years and nothing will change!" Love to you two forever! Labels: Recent Weddings
I Have a Ring Thing
Lynn and Josh were married last weekend at the White Elephant on Nantucket Island. They had a glorious day after many days of rain. I decided to have some fun with their rings using props from the wedding, including the kid's table and Soiree Floral's wonderful details. I have to mention Placesetters as well since the tables looked so marvelous. I love my job! Thanks guys for having such an awesome wedding!         Labels: Recent Weddings
Jennifer and Erik Marry on Nantucket!
     Jennifer graduated from Harvard Medical School on Thursday and was married on Nantucket the following Saturday! Talk about excitement. We had the pleasure to photograph their gorgeous Nantucket wedding on Saturday and work with their families. An entire Finnish contingency came over for the wedding and their little ring bearer spoke no English at all. The spectacular floral arrangements were created by Dawn Kelly and her team at Soiree Floral, the ceremony was at the First Congregational Church and the reception at The White Elephant right on the water. Placesetters is a local company that does the most professional party rentals and table settings. I loved the color scheme and details paid to this wedding! Libby from our studio helped me out by shooting from different angles so she was in the balcony of the church when she got the ceremony shot shown here. Labels: Recent Weddings
Beca and James Get Married on Nantucket!
     Beca and James were married on Nantucket the other day. The day started rather dark and cloudy only to give way to one of the brightest, most beautiful days of the year so far. Beca had her hair done at The Beauty Bar and her makeup done by Mandy from The Calming Room. Flowers on Chestnut created the gorgeous bouquets and center pieces and the reception was held at The Galley Beach. We had so much fun doing what we love to do: photographing the gorgeous couples and settings we are so blessed to have with a Nantucket wedding. A kick off to a great season! Labels: Recent Weddings
May 2009 Siasconset Engagement Session with Maresa and Derek
    Maresa and Derek are getting married on Nantucket this coming Labor Day weekend and I am their photographer thanks to the Audra and Tripp connection. I had met with Maresa and Derek in Boston earlier this year and we decided to do an engagement session on Nantucket this spring. They are a wonderful and beautiful couple (as illustrated above) and were very easy to work with as we made our way around the village of Siasconset on Nantucket's east end. I think it's a great idea to work together before the wedding so that we can get to know each other a little and it enables them to see the process of not only the shooting of the photographs, but the way to view them and order them. It also gives the couple a less formal portrait which is great to have in their new home or to give to parents and friends or to use for the "Save the Date" card. I love my "job"!

 Kerry and Mike are getting married at The Mandarin Oriental in Boston next fall so we got together on a very cold day in Back Bay and did some engagement shots for their "Save the Date".

March 2009 Claudia Kronenberg Photography Republishes Boston Wedding Slideshow
 This is the Boston wedding that convinced me that I wanted to work more in Boston. It was in June of 2006 at the Boston Public Library and I remember being so excited to work in Boston and since then I have pursued Boston weddings and have done many since. I spent my high school years living with my mother and sister on Beacon Hill, taking the T everyday out to Beaver Country Day, walking Newbury Street and eating Dim Sum in Chinatown. I love Boston and so it was natural for me to start working up there even though I live on Nantucket. I have a Boston apartment and am up in Boston as often as needed to meet with clients and wedding vendors and to photograph portraits, weddings and engagement sessions. Labels: Recent Weddings

   Kathrine and Kevin were married at the Gambee's home on Wingspread Lane, Nantucket. Robert Gambee is one of Nantucket's wonderful photographers and his home is filled with mural sized photographs he has taken on Nantucket over the years. The fall day was spectacular and Nantucket was at its best for wedding weather. The two views of the tent show the view of Nantucket Harbor and the view of the house. Labels: Recent Weddings

 Pat and Laura were married at St. Marys with their reception at The Galley Beach on Nantucket following. Pat was a little nervous before the wedding, but then relaxed later.

 Beth Valero and Mike Egan were married on Nantucket with Hurricane Kyle looming out to sea, but their day was beautiful and it was a lot of fun shooting a Nantucketer's wedding.
