Molly + Eli — Summer Engagement Session in Brookline

Summer Engagement Portrait Session in Brookline, MA

So, you may have noticed that most of the blog posts lately have been from CoCo… Man, she makes me look like a slacker! ;)  Seriously, I’ve been sick almost all winter and haven’t made much time for blogging the last few months.  I think it’s high time I get back to it!!  What better way to start than with these love birds?!

I met up with Molly & Eli at their home in Brookline on a warm summer evening.  We took a walk through their neighborhood to a local park and enjoyed a little time hanging out, climbing trees, and definitely laughing!  Check out my favorites from our engagement shoot!

It’s moments after this shot that I stepped into a hole in the ground and totally fell on my face!  Don’t worry, I saved the camera though!  I am so graceful ;)

Lephan + Scotty — Providence, RI Engagement – xo, CoCo

Providence, Rhode Island Engagement Session

I don’t think it’s possible to love a couple more than I love these two! Is that weird to say? I don’t care, I’m sticking with it! From the moment I spoke on the phone to Lephan, I knew we would be a perfect fit. MANY silly emails ensued in regards to her wedding, engagement session, and who KNOWS what else, and the rest is history. I met up with her and her handsome and adorable fiance Scotty in Providence while they were in town visiting for Christmas. Amazingly, we got some gorgeous light and weather, and had so.much.fun. We started out walking around DePasquale Square in Providence’s Federal Hill area, enjoy.

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

Back Bay Boston Engagement Session

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!

Kate + Peter — Jamaica Pond Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Engagement Session at Jamaica Pond

I met with Kate and Peter for the first time at one of my favorite coffee shops, Simon’s, in Cambridge. Not only were they excited for our meeting, which is always great, little did I know Peter had actually just proposed to Kate hours earlier! Now, these two had obviously been planning their wedding for months, and Kate knew they were going to get engaged very soon, but it was still so fun to see how excited they were and to see them basking in that just engaged glow. And I love that even though both Kate and Peter knew this was going down, Peter still pulled out all the stops and even got a small orchestra to play for Kate! So romantic! We got together for their engagement session not soon after at Jamaica Pond, and caught the very end of the beauty that is the Fall in New England. It was fabulous, though we couldn’t have pulled it off any later, it definitely got pretty chilly towards the end of the night!

Kate’s leopard booties are to die for, am I right?!

Sarah + Mike — Corn Maze Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Marini Farm Corn Maze Autumn Engagement Session
Back in college, one of Sarah and Mike’s first meetings was at a corn maze, or a Maize Maze as we called them in Virginia, with a group of friends. It just sounds so perfect doesn’t it? Getting lost, making eyes at each other through the stalks, definitely sounds like a classic college love story to me :) So when Mike suggested and researched the heck out of Corn Mazes on the North Shore I thought it sounded like super fun idea. We ended up at Marini Farm in Ipswich, which was absolutely perfect. We more or less had the place to ourselves, it was late Fall and the light was INSANE. This definitely ended up being one of my favorites shoots of the year. These two are quiet, thoughtful, sweet and most of all FUN. Enjoy!

Meagan + Evan — Castle Island Sunrise Engagement – xo, CoCo

Sunrise on Castle Island (Boston) Engagement Session

I know I know, WHAT was I thinking agreeing to a sunrise engagement session? But I mean come on, how could you refuse such a cute couple, and a girl who was so passionate about LIGHT?! (You see, Meagan goes running on Castle Island every morning before work and had fallen in love with the light and the view of her city she gets every morning). This girl is my dream come true! The best part is, in the days leading up to our shoot Meagan’s fiance Evan was trying to look at the weather and see which morning would have the best color, so he tweeted a meteorologist to get his opinion! How sweet is he?! Despite the early hour, this shoot went off without a hitch, the light was gorgeous, Castle Island and the city were still sleeping and we had the run of the place!

Melanie + Ian — Backyard Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Springtime Engagement Session at home

There is something about these two that is just so natural and beautiful. Ian is a farmer by trade and a surfer as well (with a wicked farmer’s tan to boot)! ;) Melanie is a nurse and came to us from a very good friend of Krista’s. It was so fun to hang out with them at their house in “the country” (Woburn, haha) and at Ian’s parent’s house just down the road. A simple, sweet backyard engagement, that’s all you need!

Theresa + Kristin — Newburyport Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Newburyport Engagement Session

I met these two awesome ladies at their apartment in Newburyport, such a beautiful city with so much variety for shooting pictures, I’m so jealous they actually live there!  It was so much fun meeting their (MANY!) pets, checking out the nooks and crannies of Newburyport and seeing where they were engaged. Let’s start out on their front porch, the light was gorgeous!
