Kristopher J. Ventresco M. Photog., Cr.
Kris's passion for photography started at a very young age and was strongly influenced by his father, John. He followed his father around with a camera in hand as a child and teen during family vacations and other events. Kris graduated from Merrimack College with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration and minor in Italian. In addition to the course work for his degree, Kris also took many photography courses. These classes taught him black and white photography, developing the negatives, and printing the photograph. Having a foundation and understanding of film photography helped transition into the digital age.
In his time as Professional Photographer, Kris has photographed countless weddings and portrait sessions. He has also photographed events such as Frozen Fenway for the Boston Red Sox and the 4th of July Spectacular which featured performances by the Dropkick Murphys, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Jennifer Hudson, and the Boston Pops Orchestra. He has been featured on the cover of New England Bride and other local publications.
Kris recently expanded his work into the Fine Art genre. Many local businesses have hosted Kris and displayed his work. He also has a couple of books showcasing different projects he has completed and is in the process of finishing up one now.
"I have a unique style. I start with traditional posing then transition into journalistic and contemporary styles. I am always studying lighting and posing. Photojournalism is about capturing moments and expressions as they happen, but I give slight guidance to my clients to bring out more expressive reactions."

John Ventresco
John Ventresco has been a Professional Photographer his whole life. As a student in high school, he decided to take up photography, thereafter attending Franklin Pierce Institute of Photography in Boston and apprenticing with a photographer. As John's interest and skills grew, his passion for photography seemed endless.
At that time, John and his wife Yvonne started Starlight Photography in 1982, which has since grown into a successful photography gallery specializing in social events such as weddings, portraiture, and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.
Often asked how he still loves what he is doing when he started at such a young age, John replies, "I've learned to visualize the beauty around me, whether it is people or nature and it's surroundings."
"I am asked many times what makes your images so unique and special. My answer is that I capture from my heart. It is never just another job. To be able to see what your heart feels and capture with a camera is the greatest feeling. Being a Professional Photographer is a unique profession in which I get to see the beauty and capture it through the lens for people to enjoy throughout their lives and to share it with future generations."
John has studied with many of the world's best photographic artists and masters, such as Louise and Joseph Simone of Canada and the Tuscan region of Italy. Continually entering local, national, and International competitions, John has won many International awards including acceptance into the prestigious Professional Photographers of America's Traveling Loan Collection. Starlight's old world style, blended with the latest trends, is a combination that will make your day the best. John is a firm believer that your special day is not a photo day, but that your family formals and images will become priceless, and that your reception will be treated as fun and spontaneous. At such locations, the photographers at Starlight Photography will be unobtrusive, but within eye contact.
