Ashley + Andrew — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

If that picture doesn’t sum these two up then I don’t know what will… Ashley and Andrew had an absolute BLAST on their perfectly snowy wedding day in late February, feast your eyes on all their beautifully thought out DIY details!

Ashley’s dress and Kate Spade earrings suited her perfectly: feminine and soft, with just the right amount of sparkle.

She and her bridesmaids wore coordinating flannel pj’s as they got ready, they were so cute!

We all braved the at least 4 feet of snow to shoot some portraits at Fitch’s footbridge, on the way from the church to Gibbet Hill.

B2115_D0341-Edit

And man was it worth it!

B2115_D0372-Edit

The reception details were equally soft, feminine, rustic, romantic and fun.

Ashley + Andrew — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding – xo, CoCo

GET READY FOLKS. We started 2015 out with a bang and one of the most beautiful winter weddings EVER! Ashley and Andrew, troopers and classic New Englanders that they are, wanted to get married IN the snow, and boy did they get their wish! Not only did we get snow, we got that perfect movie snow that blanketed the ground, the bride’s eyelashes, and made everything feel so romantic and festive. Not to mention the fact that these two are SO MUCH FUN, between Ashley’s laugh and Andrew’s dance moves, there was just no way this day would be anything short of perfect.

I started out with the smiling bride as she got ready with her girls, all in matching flannel pj’s mind you.

B2115_D0026-Edit

B2115_D0059-Edit

Krista was my second shooter for the day (Dream Team!) She started out with Andrew and his boys, and these icicles, I can’t even look at them! Brrrrrrrrrr…

Meanwhile everything was starting to come together with the girls! Everyone tied up their dresses in a different way.

B2115_D0131-Edit

Ashley’s dress was lovely! I loved all the little details and sparkles, so feminine.

B2115_D0137

I mean… what a stunner.

B2115_D0170-Edit

Hahaha!

B2115_D0179-Edit

Time to get married! Krista waited at the front of the aisle for this, which I just LOVE.

B2115_D0238-Edit

B2115_D0280-Edit

Woohoo!

B2115_D0299-Edit

B2115_D0329-Edit

Then, these two absolute champions, actually strapped on their brand new matching LL Bean boots and forged out into 4 feet (at least!) of snow with us to take some gorgeous pictures near Fitch’s Footbridge. Krista caught this one.

B2115_D0366-Edit

EEEeeeeeee!!

B2115_D0356-Edit

B2115_D0373-Edit

Their bridal party was also impressed, Krista got this…LOVE.

B2115_D0367-Edit

I mean, who WOULDN’T need a beer after that?!
B2115_D0385-Edit

Meanwhile back at Gibbet Hill… it REALY started to snow!

B2115_D0430

So we took some time inside for their super fun bridal party, this one from Krista.
B2115_D0482-Edit
B2115_D0479-Edit

B2115_D0533-Edit

And of course we just HAD to take advantage of all that snow!

B2115_D0535-Edit

Could it be more pretty?! Not possible.

B2115_D0558-Edit
B2115_D0553-Edit

B2115_D0540-Edit

At twilight Krista grabbed this from outside the barn, SUCH a beautiful night!

B2115_D0668-Edit

The reception got started with their first dance.

B2115_D0693-Edit

And some AWESOME toasts.

B2115_D0794-Edit

B2115_D0838-Edit

Then it was dancing time!

B2115_D1111-Edit

Then Andrew, oh Andrew, showed us all what he was made of, with an amazing lip-synching to “It’s Raining Men.” I nearly died of laughter!!!

B2115_D1161-Edit
B2115_D1172-Edit

Just amazing.

B2115_D1162-Edit

B2115_D1031-Edit

B2115_D0957-Edit

That’s all she wrote folks! Can you see why I love these two so much?! Ashley and Andrew, THANK YOU for being so wonderful, trusting us with your memories and having the time of your lives on your wedding day. Check out more on Facebook y’all and stay tuned for their adorable diy details!

Kristopher & Erin’s eSession

While I was in Indianapolis, I had the chance to take some engagement photos for my cousin, Kristopher and his fiance, Erin. Kris & Erin are getting married this summer, and I’m really excited to go home to photograph it! Kris is a filmmaker and they’re having their wedding at a theatre, which is just going to be so cool!

The weather didn’t really cooperate with us while we tried to combine a family gathering and an engagement session into one afternoon. So we stayed close to home and basically shot everything in my parents’ neighborhood. It turned out to be a pretty cool spot, and even though we were all FREEZING, we had a fun time!

Kris & Erin's Engagement Session

Kris is a bit of a joker. Ok, that’s an understatement. He’s frikkin’ hilarious and always making me laugh! It was cool for me to see him with Erin – to see how funny they are together and how much they enjoy each other, and that she always laughs at his jokes ;)

Kris & Erin's Engagement Session

This is totally my favorite! I love it when you can see people smiling even when they’re kissing :)

Per my Mom’s request, we shot a few photos by the berries ;)
