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 :)

L2214_D0056-Edit

L2214_D0081-Edit

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

L2214_D0140-Edit

L2214_D0133-Edit

We were making our way down to the First Look and I just had to get Lephan in this light! Man oh man!

L2214_D0106-Edit

L2214_D0153-Edit

Deb caught this of Scotty’s First Look.

L2214_D0161-Edit

My view, they were so excited!

L2214_D0183-Edit

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!

L2214_D0259-Edit

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_D0429-Edit

Keepin’ it classy, Scotty.

L2214_D0435-Edit

Afterwards they held a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, love this of grandma!

L2214_D0477-Edit

Lephan changed into dress #3 and then the Bride & Groom got to show off their dance moves!

L2214_D0634-Edit

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

L2214_D0672-Edit

L2214_D0682-Edit

I mean, that dress… LOVE it!

L2214_D0776-Edit

Becky + Mike — Harvard Square Engagement – xo, CoCo

L0914_D0001-Edit

Becky, Mike and I got a miraculously warm November day to wander around Harvard Square together. They had never spent much time there, but the light was beautiful and we had a great time discovering some characteristic little nooks and crannies for them to cuddle in. :) These two were so comfortable with each other, I felt like I barely had to work at all! In fact, it always amazes me, no matter how beautiful you think a person is on their own, something happens to them when they are with the one they love, a light inside makes them glow all over. The same is true for these two, not only are they both beautiful and interesting people in their own right, there is something about their energy together that is absolutely infectious, and infinitely better than their individual parts alone. You know, sometimes things just fall into place.

We started out in Harvard Yard.

L0914_D0010-Edit

L0914_D0015-Edit

L0914_D0025-Edit

L0914_D0030-Edit

We headed over to the river and they just HAD to stop and cuddle. ;)

L0914_D0048-Edit

L0914_D0051-Edit

I mean are these guys adorable or what?

L0914_D0065-Edit

L0914_D0061-Edit

We made our way through the dorms.

L0914_D0082-Edit

And finally out onto the Weeks Footbridge, with this BEAUTIFUL light, I was eating it up!

L0914_D0087-Edit

L0914_D0093-Edit

Nothing can beat that color!

L0914_D0092-Edit

L0914_D0096-Edit

Becky!!!!! You are just gorgeous.

L0914_D0130-Edit

L0914_D0140-Edit

L0914_D0136-Edit

Man, what a night! Becky and Mike, thank you for your beauty, inside and out! It was so much fun spending time with and photographing you, not to mention having a beer or two after! ;) Check out more on Facebook y’all!

Katie + Brian — Black Rock Country Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, folks. Katie & Brian were married on one of the last days of Fall, when the light was buttery and warm and you could still get away without wearing a coat. It was one of those wonderfully beautiful days where the Bride and Groom’s tireless preparations paid off, everything went to plan, and they just got to have fun and enjoy their day. I mean, it really doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s start with Katie as she got ready with her girls.

I love Katie’s soft and feminine details, they just fit her perfectly!
L0814_D0011

L0814_D0019

L0814_D0040-Edit

My lovely assistant Pam caught this, how cute are these girls?!

L0814_D0033-Edit

GIRL! You are so beautiful!

L0814_D0065-Edit

L0814_D0076-Edit

Katie gave her adorable parents some very thoughtful embroidered handkerchiefs, their reaction was so sweet!

L0814_D0089-Edit

Then it was time to head to the church!

L0814_D0095-Edit

Meanwhile, my lovely second shooter Cris Llerena, started with Brian and his boys. This little guy, can you even stand it?!

L0814_D0114-Edit

L0814_D0122

L0814_D0128-Edit

I tagged along with the girls on the way to the ceremony.

L0814_D0133-Edit

L0814_D0135-Edit

L0814_D0323

“It’s our party and we’ll cry if we want to!” I love it!

L0814_D0147

Some members of the wedding party really took that to heart… hehe.

L0814_D0171-Edit

L0814_D0196-Edit

L0814_D0234-Edit

L0814_D0250-Edit

L0814_D0268-Edit

L0814_D0287-Edit

L0814_D0303-Edit

Then it was off to Black Rock to capture the last bit of light!

L0814_D0318

And what gorgeous light it was!

L0814_D0380-Edit

L0814_D0361-Edit

L0814_D0386-Edit

L0814_D0388

_CFB7768-Edit

This is what happy looks likes folks…

L0814_D0407-Edit

We even had enough light to capture some beautiful, natural formal photos outside, love this group!

L0814_D0488-Edit

Little Meredith and Colin were keeping everyone entertained for me, thanks guys! :)

L0814_D0427-Edit

L0814_D0480

And a killer sunset to boot!

L0814_D0511-Edit

L0814_D0513

An heirloom cake topper, and room filled with tons of candles made everything feel so romantic. And I haven’t seen a Groom’s cake in so long, this one Katie arranged was awesome!

L0814_D0543

L0814_D0585-Edit

I mean… Cris thank you for grabbing this, this isn’t the last you’ll see of these cuties.

L0814_D0609-Edit

L0814_D0630-Edit

When Grandma’s attack! :)

L0814_D0706-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? ;)

Adorable Engagement Portrait Session in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, MA

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 + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014! Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments? Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them? Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do? Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?! It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel

Meanwhile… CoCo was shooting with Joe & the guys over at the Exchange Conference Center

Then it was time for the First Look! Ashley just needed a little liquid courage before we left ;)

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.

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

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!

Ashley + Joe — Boston Winter Engagement Session

Joe & Ashley live in Chicago, and LOVE black & white photography… so they were already my favorites before we even met each other! When we did finally meet, it was for their wintery Boston engagement session – and they totally lived up to my expectations of awesomeness!

We started out with a drink at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen to get warmed up (both literally, and figuratively)…

122713_D0012-Edit

OAK Long Bar drinks

Then we went for a little walk around Copley Square, in the cold… but they were able to keep each other both warm, and entertained :)

After we couldn’t feel our fingers and feet anymore, we hopped inside the Boston Public Library to warm up… and I swear, we TRIED to be quiet!

Boston Public Library Engagement - laugher

After we finally realized that they’d eventually kick us out for being so giggly… we went back out into the cold for a walk down Comm Ave!
I love those twinkly white lights!

Love these!

122713_D0210-Edit

122713_D0203-Edit

Once it got dark, and even colder, we hopped in to Papa Razzi for more drinks!

122713_D0248-Edit

Love this!

Such a fun engagement session!! See, we don’t need sunshine and green grass to make some beautiful portraits – even in the cold Boston snow, we can have fun together and get some awesome photos!

Can’t wait to share more from Ashley & Joe’s killer wedding in my next post! Stay tuned!
(And if you seriously can’t wait, you can head over to their Facebook album and see it all there!)

Liz + Dylan — Reid Castle Wedding – xo, CoCo

Liz and Dylan were faves from the start. Their sense of humor, all-together cuteness, absolute adoration of each other, not to mention their hilarious families and especially Dylan’s dad’s mustache, made their wedding day one of the BEST days. Ever. No seriously. Go ahead, see for yourself.

I started with Liz as she got ready in the bridal suite at Reid Castle, on the campus of Manhattanville College. This place was so cool! So many beautiful and interesting indoor spaces, with gorgeous light inside and out!

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

Krista was my second shooter for the day, (Dream team!), she started with Dylan and this cute guy next door.

Oh hello there Mr. Dapper!

The lawn had our FAVORITE Weeping Beech trees, good spot for a First Look don’t you think? Love this from Krista.

Can’t even handle these two!

Reid Castle Wedding

Krista brought along a couple film cameras to play with, she shot this with her Nikon f100 camera, on Kodak Tri-x 400 35mm film.

Also from Krista, isn’t that lace to die for?!

Light, giggles, snuggles, everything.

From Krista, I mean they didn’t stop laughing!

Krista grabbed this as well.

I mean we had to show the castle right?!

Time for the ceremony! Liz and her dad were so sweet!

Krista snuck around the side to grab this, can you just feel how excited she is?!

Krista also ran upstairs to grab this, so pretty!

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

I stayed on the ground during the festivities at the reception while Krista shot from above, so fun right?

Their brother and sister made use of basically everyone in the room for their toasts, it was so fun, emotional and personal.

Then this happened, complete with “I’ve Had the Time of my Liiiiiife!” perfectly cued up. So good.

After the festivities, we took another few moments to shoot in this gorgeous space! These two were so generous with their time, and of course SO FUN to photograph.

Krista set this up, just LOVE it.

Reid Castle Wedding

One more from Krista, how romantic are those candles??

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

Haha! Phone for you!

At their request we got everyone in the room on the dance floor for a group picture from the balcony. Love these guys!

These two just had to get a dance in while everyone was still at their tables.

Then it was party time!

And as a send off they killed it up on stage.

I can’t even say enough about these two! Thank you Liz & Dylan for trusting us with your memories, for cracking us up all day, for loving your day and everything it brought. We love you guys! Check out more on Facebook y’all and just WAIT for their details post full of autumnal color and that charming diy touch.
