Maura and Scott had THE most gorgeous day up in New Hampshire! We had the run of the place at Saint Anselm College, where these two lovebirds met back in the day, so it held special significance.
Thrisha + Donaldo — Endicott Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo
If this Endicott Estate wedding wasn’t the definition of amazing then I don’t know what is. From the insanely fun bridal party, to the STUNNING bride, to the emotions and some of the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen this day was wonderful start to finish. The best part is, not only was this day gorgeous, and the details and timeline planned out perfectly, Thrisha and Donaldo eventually forgot all about it and just had FUN. SO much fun. They danced, they cried, they were perfectly themselves, just a little more dressed up than normal ;)
Laura & Dayna — Willowdale Estate Wedding Details – xo, CoCo
Alright, let’s get to the gorgeous details from Laura and Dayna’s early spring wedding at the wonderful Willowdale Estate! Even when it’s not quite green, this place is still amazing, one of my favorite venues.
Laura & Dayna — Willowdale Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo
Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate. Laura was perfectly nervous, everyone was excited, the weather held off and just wait til you see Dayna’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…
Baby Adira – Family Portrait Session on Cape Cod
Krista loves an excuse to take a drive down to the Cape during the summer. This adorable family certainly didn’t hurt the cause! Adira is simply scrumptious!
I mean, those EYES!
Seriously.
Not such a bad view. It was really the perfect summer day on the Cape.
I seriously can’t even!!
GORGEOUS!
Nom nom nom.
“Oh hi! Wanna play?”
Evita and Michael, thank you for sharing your little family with us! We hope to see more of Miss Adira as she grows and changes!
Melanie + Ian — Wayside Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo
Oh Melanie and Ian! What a wonderfully relaxed and love-filled wedding day you had. As you saw from their engagement, these two are not only absolutely adorable but they are straight up head over heels in love with each other! It was amazing to witness, and I was honored to hang out with them and their wonderfully supportive families all day at the Wayside Inn. Ian’s adoring family was obviously very proud of him and Melanie’s amazing French Canadian family was cracking me up all day! I’ll hang with them any time!
Baby Lane — One Year Portrait Session
Ok, I promised more tulle and I never make promises I can’t keep! Lane recently turned one and Krista was invited to the party. This little girly girl was perfect for the shimmery gold background Krista has!! Add to that the pink, the ruffles, the PEARLS!! Just take a look for yourself…
Hello little teeth!
I LOVE that Lori thought to write out Lane’s current faves like this! Such a great way to remember all the little things that are so easily forgotten as the years go by.
Little diva! Isn’t she gorgeous??!
Now bear with me… there were SO many awesome cake smash pictures, and I did try my best to keep it simple here, but I just couldn’t help myself and I think you will agree that more is better in this case!
Little lady knocked the cake over twice!
But she got over it pretty quick!
I love how Mark has evidence of icing all over his shirt!
Some of the super cute details.
The fishy marshmellows are so stinking clever, I can’t even stand it!
Catching some snuggles with her mama.
I love how similar this shot is to the family picture Krista took when Lane was a newborn. Look at that BIG girl though!
If you want to see even MORE of this fun shoot, check out the album on Facebook here. Thank you, Lori and Mark, for sharing Lane’s first birthday and cake smash with us!! Lane is such a doll and we can’t wait to see what is next to come for your sweet family!!
Come back Monday for our next better-late-than-never couple! Happy Friday!

Lillie + Colin — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding
Lillie and Colin were married at the Harvard Faculty Club in Harvard Square, which is such a beautiful old building with so much character. The weather was fine, the celebration was joyous, the bride was perfectly nervous (and gorgeous), what more could you ask for?!
Krista and I started with the bride in a beautiful room upstairs at the Faculty Club, the wallpaper is amazing in there!
This is mine of one of Lillie’s beautiful bridesmaids.
Dream team member Allana Taranto started out with Colin and his guys down the hall. :)
Lillie was featured on the TLC’s I Found the Gown for her stunning dress.
Oh, moms! You are so cute!!
Colin waited at the bottom of these gorgeous stairs to see his bride!
I grabbed this as Lillie made her way down.
The next two are from Allana.
We then snuck away for some portraits, here’s Allana’s view.
And Krista’s.
The grounds of the Faculty Club are magical, something beautiful around every corner and at every angle!
The bridal party was waiting around the corner! Creepers :)
Don’t they look great?!
Then it was off to the Ketubah signing and Bedekken!
A little pre-ceremony prep. :)
This is mine from the front of the aisle.
Oh, Dad!
Wait. We’re married?!
Allana grabbed this as the Bride and Groom were introduced.
There were about a dozen toasts at the reception. Seriously. But honestly, it was kind of amazing. The Bride and Groom introduced each speaker, and it was so touching to hear the different things everyone had to say about the happy couple.
This is mine from my favorite toast of the night.
Then Lillie’s dad brought the house down!
I grabbed this during their super sweet choreographed first dance.
The next two are Allana’s of the Hora!
This one is mine.
And mine as well.
Well that’s all folks! What a lovely day it was! Thank you Lillie and Colin for being so fantastic and letting us capture this day for you! It was such a pleasure.
Everyone check back on Friday for their classy details! And read even more about the wedding on Lillie’s blog!
Sarah + Dave — Coolidge Corner Engagement Session
Krista shot Sarah & Dave’s engagement session in late Summer. The light was warm and soft and they had so much fun wandering around Coolidge Corner – eating pizza, climbing up fire escapes and taking over train stops. It was a great chance to get to know them both a bit and get fired up for the wedding! Check out Sarah’s adorable color palette and eclectic accessories, more of that in their wedding post on Wednesday!
Aren’t they so sweet?!
We love us some fun graffiti!
My FAVE!
Super fun view of the city up there!
Thank you Sarah and Dave, what a fun afternoon it was!
