Michael + Kyle – Cape Cod Wedding details – xo, CoCo

When I think of Michael and Kyle’s Cape Cod wedding details, I think sand and sea. And not even because of their adorable lobster monogram created just for their day, but because of the stunningly cohesive event design (by Kyle herself and her amazing team of vendors) that helped evoke an incredibly lavish and intimate feeling from start to finish. From the stormy dark blue of the bridesmaid’s dresses to the creams and nudes of Kyle’s, the golds and greens in the tent to the swaying dune grass outside it, the wild and oversized flower arrangements to the strikingly simple food plating, this day was one for the books.

This day was AMAZING. Mike and Kyle planned their Cape Cod wedding to the T and aside from some rain, it went off without a hitch. No little detail was left out, their guests were treated like absolute royalty, the sun peeked out just in time for some portraits, and at the end of the day they let go and danced like there was no tomorrow… what more can you ask for?!

Meaghan & Steve’s Wedding – Danvers, MA

I love Meaghan & Steve :) These two are good friends of mine, and it was so wonderful for me to be able to attend and shoot their wedding this summer. They got married at the home of a friend in Danvers on a cold and rainy summer day, and had such a fun and joyful party. I’m excited to share a few of my favorite photos…

So, the house where they got married is this huge home decorated in a very ornate and eclectic style. I saw people curiously walking by this painting of a cat-man all day, but Anne Ruthmann (who came to shoot with me) captured this priceless moment. I *love* this photo!!

Meaghan & her maid-of-honor getting ready in the largest and fanciest bathroom I’ve ever seen.

Steve & the guys preparing for the wedding (photos by Anne)

The stained glass wall in the bathroom was so cool. I asked my assistant Elizabeth to catch Meaghan getting into her dress through the glass, and it turned out awesome!

Meg and her brother just before he walked her down the aisle. I believe this is the moment when I started bawling my eyes out!

I love the look she gave Steve here when she got to the end of the aisle (next 2 photos by Anne)

My brother (in law) officiated the ceremony. It was the first wedding we’ve ever “worked” together. It was kinda fun having him and my sister there, along with a bunch of close friends. Totally strange to have your worlds collide like that, but still fun!

Anne came along for this wedding in part to help me out, but also to have some fun and try some new things and take some risks. She brought a tilt/shift lens and I absolutely love how the images turned out!

My beautiful friend, Meaghan

I rarely like shots of me while I’m working, but Anne caught this one, and I actually like it :)

Some of the guys were pretty distracted during portraits because there were chickens running around. Boys like to chase chickens, apparently.

Haha! This is SO Meg & Steve!! Never a serious moment with these two, I tell ya.

Love the colors in this one that Anne shot!

I love their cake toppers! I believe they were made by one of their grandfathers, years and years ago – made out of nuts! Totally cute!

There’s that tilt/shift lens again. I love the feel!

Meg’s rings are so pretty and delicate!

First dance

First dance courtesy of Anne’s fisheye lens. The dance floor was in a new room on the house, that’s still under construction. All the exposed wood was so interesting to photograph, and also very “them.”

Steve looking oh so handsome

Meg cracking up!

And, my fabulous self-portrait of me & Meg. Not sure why I’m leaning back so much, but whatever ;)

Meaghan & Steve – I love you guys!! I’m so incredibly happy for you!!!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your wedding photos. I hope you loooove them!!!!

And Anne, thank YOU so much for tagging along! All that playing really paid off, and I absolutely love the images you captured. You can come play with me anytime!! ;)

Elizabeth & Ryan’s Perfect Wedding – Marion, MA

Elizabeth & Ryan‘s wedding was absolutely perfect! Seriously. As I walked around throughout the day, I heard people say that word again and again… perfect! Perfect weather, the perfect location, the perfect dress, a perfect couple… the perfect day!There’s a gazillion photos I want to share, but here are a few of my absolute favorites….

A champagne toast for the ladies while getting ready

And cigars on the porch for the gentlemen

I love how it takes a team of women to put on a wedding dress!

My assistant, Elizabeth Hannah got this awesome shot

Isn’t she gorgeous?!?!

Mark Higgins came to second shoot with me, and got this shot during portraits with the bride, of Elizabeth’s sister. The poor girl had a heck of a time keeping her makeup on with all the happy tears she was shedding!

The anticipation builds as Elizabeth watches the guests begin to arrive through the window…

The wedding was all held at Elizabeth’s parents’ home in Marion. Many little girls imagine walking down aisle on their wedding day, but I wonder if Elizabeth ever imagined it’d be the stone path she’d walked on so many times?

I love the moment right after the ceremony when the Bride & Groom get to talk for the first time and be “alone” for a moment before the bridal party gets down the aisle! It’s always so emotional and exciting.

After the ceremony we headed down to the dock for some portraits in the last bit of sunlight. It was beautiful!

I love the movement and the body language in the next few.

Mark grabbed this shot of me taking the photo above. He rented a 200mm f/2.0 lens from LensProToGo and got some fabulous results with it… and probably some permanent back damage as well – that lens is HUGE!

Elizabeth (assistant, not bride) caught Mark & the lens. This is him taking a picture of me taking a picture….

I remember quite specifically Elizabeth telling me the first time we spoke on the phone that she wanted some unique bridal party shots. She almost sent them all off to the cocktail hour before we could do it, but I’m soooooo glad we called them back! These were definitely more fun than the usual :)

Elizabeth’s take on the bridal party shots was pretty cool too!

After portraits, we headed back up to the house for the reception. Elizabeth’s Dad gave a wonderfully touching toast. Here, he’s thanking his wife for all her hard work on the wedding and for being a wonderful wife & mother. It’s so nice to see families where the parents love each other this much!

Ryan’s toast to his bride was equally moving.

One of my favorite images that Mark shot…

I love grandpas :)

Ryan’s parents with their arms around Elizabeth. American culture has stereotyped in-laws to be just awful (a la Everybody Loves Raymond), so I really appreciate how special it is when parents-in-law love their new daughter or son like their own. My parents both have that, and so does my sister and it makes such a difference in the life of a new family!

Last shot of the night!

There were so many more images that I just loved. If you’d like to see more of my favs, you can check them out on Facebook. And come back tomorrow to check out my favorite details and film shots from Elizabeth & Ryan’s wedding!

Elizabeth & Ryan – I enjoyed your wedding so much!! It was a wonderful day and witnessing how much your friends and family love you two was an extra blessing. Thank you for welcoming us in – I hope you love the photos!!
