Lephan + Scotty — Hyatt Regency Boston Wedding – xo, CoCo

_CFB2522-Edit

Ohhhhh these two. You may remember these adorable faces from their Providence, RI engagement session where I fell in LOVE with them. Lephan and Scotty are two of the most joyful people I’ve met, I’m so happy I was there to capture that joy on their wedding day, and let me tell you there was a LOT of it. This day was a smashing end to our season, I think you’ll be able to see for yourselves why we love these two so much.

I started out with Lephan as she got ready, and had a really fun time getting into her dress. Just LOVE this :)

My very good friend Deborah Zoe started out with Scotty, once he actually found his bowtie that is…. hehe.

We then walked down the street to grab some portraits near the Paramount Theatre.

L2214_D0206-Edit

I mean, that color!

L2214_D0224-Edit

Then made our way through the city.

L2214_D0229-Edit

Lephan, I know this wall was freezing, but it was worth it right?!

L2214_D0237-Edit

_CFB2170-Edit

The whole bridal party met up with us under the Chinatown gate.

L2214_D0248-Edit

Deb caught this, work it y’all!

LOVE this portrait from Deb.

L2214_D0308-Edit

L2214_D0313-Edit

Thennnn Lephan put on her neon coat, and we needed documentation of it, obviously.

L2214_D0331-Edit

Time to hide away for the ceremony, in a coat closet… hehe.

L2214_D0360-Edit

L2214_D0382-Edit

L2214_D0395-Edit

From Deb, woohoo!

L2214_D0634-Edit

They walked around and toasted each table, it was such a fun part of the night!

L2214_D0672-Edit

Nora + Kevin — Coolidge Corner Engagement – xo, CoCo

This was one of those nights that didn’t go exactly to plan, but that turned out better than any of us could have planned! (And included way more beer than should have been allowed…)

When I think of Nora and Kevin the first word that comes to mind is genuine. That is exactly how they are: sweet, genuine, silly, sarcastic, wonderful people. We got along from the very start, and I love them because they were adventurous enough to 1) Suggest we shoot in their favorite bar, and thus be embarrassed to ever go back there again ;) and 2) Drink enough beer to survive shooting outside in the freezing cold because I wanted to experiment! So, while it wasn’t the original plan, we ended up hanging out at Otto Pizza in Coolidge Corner, then wandering around the theater across the street. It was great fun and these two faces make me so happy. (Side-note: I’m not the only one who was obsessed, there was a collective “Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww…” in the office for DAYS and these pictures circulated from Pam to Krista and I). See for yourself!

In my opinion, ALL engagement sessions should start with beer. :)

It was SUPER cold by this point in the night, but these two were such troopers! So we wandered over to the Coolidge Corner Theater, and I made them snuggle in an alleyway, so romantic right? ;)

My trusty assistant Pam helped me light the fire escape out behind the theater. How fun!

Then we walked a little more to get warmed up.

Can you even handle the cuteness?? I can’t wait to see these guys again at the Epicenter in June! Nora, thank you for rolling with the punches and being so lovely! Kevin thank you for being so late and “forcing” us to drink so much delicious beer, I could not be happier with the results! :) Find more on Facebook!

Ashley + Andrew — Paul Revere Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

I mean would you just LOOK at that face?! I’ll admit, this laugh was induced by the embarrassment of public kissing, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do! Ashley and Andrew were such fabulous company on this surprisingly warm Fall evening in Boston. They took me on a tour of their gorgeous Charlestown streets, showed me all their favorite little spots, and we even made our way over to the brand new Paul Revere Park under the Zakim Bridge. This night was, I daresay, TOO fun.

LOVE this!

I mean, how cool is this spot?!

Cuties… and gorgeous light to boot!

We strolled back over near their apartment and found this gorgeous ivy.

We had to get something in front of their adorable building!

They have a pretty sweet roof-deck too, with a killer view of the Bunker Hill monument, what a great spot!

That LIGHT! KILLING me.

Ash and Andrew thank you so much for taking me on such a fun adventure in your beautiful neighborhood! Check out more on Facebook y’all!

Danielle + Jesse — Boston Public Garden Engagement – xo, CoCo

These two sweethearts met up with me on a quintessential Fall afternoon in the city, the light was golden and it was just warm enough to get by with a sweater and a snuggle. This sweet pair had actually never even been to the Public Gardens before, so it was really fun to wander around with them in this gorgeous space in the last light of day. I just can’t get enough of their sweet expressions, and joyful faces. And did I mention that light?!

You know I love people in trees… :)

Pink clouds, my fave!

We moseyed over to Comm Ave for a minute, and a snuggle.

Kaitlin + Brent — North End Engagement – xo, CoCo

Ok, get ready for an adorable overload. I met up with Kaitlin and Brent at during one of Kaitlin’s very last weeks in Boston, and therefore very last weeks in her adorable North End apartment. We clicked immediately, had a quick drink together and basically did not stop laughing for the next hour. These guys are just so much fun! But don’t let me tell you, I’ll let you find out for yourself…

Of course we HAD to check out the roof deck!

We went on a little tour of their neighborhood and found this little secret garden in someone’s backyard, shhhh don’t tell…

Brent, you are the perfect amount of goofball.

There were some lovely blooming trees in a park next door.

We then made our way down this fabulous alley…

…on the way to their favorite spot in the North End, Monica’s!

They then treated me to one of the BEST sandwiches I have ever had, how sweet are they? Seriously, if you haven’t been to Monica’s, don’t, I don’t want anyone to know about it… :) Thank you Kaitlin and Brent for being so fun, generous, loving and oh I don’t know AMAZING?! I can’t wait for September!

Check out more of these cuties in their Facebook album.

Christina + Preston — Boston Back Bay Engagement – xo, CoCo

I don’t know how it happened but we got the most perfect weather and light exactly when we needed it during Christina and Preston’s Engagement session. Not only did they meet for the first time at Back Bay Station, they actually got engaged there as well! This was obviously a special place for them and provided a really fun backdrop for me. We ran around the city, found some wonderful color and light, and I tried not to die of jealousy talking about Chicago with them, one of my favorite cities ever, and where they just happen to live! Enjoy!
