Gigi + Jason — Hyannis Private Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

Hyannis, MA (Cape Cod) wedding at private estate

Oh, Gigi and Jason, where do I begin?! I had the BEST feeling about these two when we first met over beers in Porter Square. They seemed genuinely excited and perfectly in love. Gigi giggled and smiled the whole time, more of that below :) While Jason and I nerded out on beer. Fun fact, Jason and I later ran into each other over the Summer, way the heck out in Vermont at Hill Farmstead, while he was on his bachelor weekend, great minds…

Well all that positive energy continued through to their wedding which was sunny, beautiful, and filled with LOTS of love and laughter. No joke, as I walked around the property in the morning, the first thing I heard was Gigi giggling up in her suite. Just LOVE her. OK, so here we start at this beautiful private estate, with big thanks to Jason’s family for their kindness and hospitality.

Gigi’s mother lives in Egypt and I was told she doesn’t get to see her daughters together all that often. She was just incredibly sweet, kissing, hugging and singing all day.

Bethany + Jon — Ballymeade Country Club Wedding Details

Ok we already got into all the great gushy stuff from Bethany and Jon’s gorgeous wedding, so let’s get into the amazing details!

Krista went down a day early and shot the rehearsal dinner the night before. Jon’s mom, a true southern belle, took over the rehearsal decor and KILLED IT! If the wedding was a perfect preppy representation of Bethany’s New England roots, the rehearsal was a perfect picture of Jon’s southern ties. I did my best not to overload you but I mean it’s just so cute!

Bethany + Jon — Ballymeade Country Club Wedding

Ballymeade Country Club (Falmouth, MA) wedding

Bethany and Jon were married in Falmouth, MA, Bethany’s home town, in the church across the street from her childhood home. We were told that she used to watch brides leaving the church from her living room window, doesn’t that paint such a wonderful picture? Well no matter what expectations had been swimming in Bethany’s head about her very own wedding day in that church, I certainly think they were met. The weather held out just perfectly, Bethany was glowing and nervous but cool under pressure, and the setting could not have been more idyllic. It really was a wonderful day.

We learned not long after the wedding however that Jon’s brother and Best Man, Michael, had passed away suddenly. We obviously didn’t know him very well, but it was not hard to tell that he was greatly loved by his family. He gave literally the BEST toast Krista had ever heard, at their rehearsal dinner, which was proven by her crying with laughter through the whole thing… We are so glad that Jon and Bethany were able to celebrate their wedding with him and will have those recent memories forever. And we are thankful to have been able to share a little something with them to help ease the pain. These are the moments when you realize how important photographs can be. Knowing that we can actually help people hold onto the memories of the ones they love is the most rewarding part of our job.

So without further ado, let’s see the blushing bride, Krista started out at Bellezza Salon with the ladies.

Katie and Mark were married in Falmouth, MA on a gorgeous sunny day. Not only was the day planned perfectly, but these two could not have been more wonderful to work with. They are both so cool and calm (not to mention beautiful). They are naturals in front of the camera, totally down to earth, and plain and simple our favorite kind of people to work with!

Krista and I met up with Katie and her girls as they got ready in her hotel suite, is this girl not stunning??
