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

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!

Such a great view of the city!

Love love love her ring!

SO.CUTE.

I absolutely love these two. What an amazing morning it was. Meagan thank you for being so passionate about your pictures and for convincing me to do this! I know your wedding isn’t until 2014 but I am going to be counting the days until then!! See more on Facebook :)

Caitlin + Chris — South End Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

I got together with Caitlin and Chris at their apartment in the South End. These two are complete goofballs and we had so much fun running around their fabulous neighborhood, and getting to know each other. We started off on their amazing roof deck with a sweet view!

And the laughing begins… :)

Of course we had to stop by The Buttery! Sadly it was closed….No treats for me :(

We found some gorgeous light and followed it all the way to the SOWA building down the street.

Pro tip: Make your clients bring a picnic table over to stand on so you can hit the right light! Good job guys, LOVE THIS!

What a fabulous evening I had with these two! Thank you Caitlin and Chris for being so cute and funny, I can’t wait to see you again in September! Check out Facebook for more in the mean time :)

Tasha + Jared — Pamet Harbor Yacht Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

How do I describe these two?? They are beautiful, laid-back, stylish, eccentric, incredibly loving, and most of all FUN. Tasha and Jared and their amazing friends and family make me realize why love my job so much. I’m so glad they found me and I feel privileged to have been invited in to document this intimate celebration. Their wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Bright and sunny but with a cool breeze. Organized enough so that the day ran smoothly but was also one of the most relaxed affairs I’ve ever taken part in. These two operate with a quiet cool, so that nothing on their gorgeous day went unnoticed or unappreciated, but all of its wonderfulness was totally expected, because that’s just how cool they are. PS- The frames above were shot right after the ceremony on Kodak Tri-X iso 400 35mm film.

Let’s start off with Tasha at her parents’ house, Tasha’s mom is an artist and has an amazingly eclectic sense of style, I poked around the rooms and found this cutie sleeping :)

Tasha and her sister were so fun!

The final product. STUNNING.

“The occasional movie” haha!

Tasha’s brother gave her a hand walking down to the car, so cute.

My fabulous second shooter for the day was Peter Morse, he started with Jared in the morning.

Peter also grabbed these of Jared’s awesome First Look reaction :)

What a beautiful spot huh?!

Their tight-knit bridal party, love the sparkles!

Jared looked so sweet as Tasha came down the aisle, courtesy of Peter as well.

Now that’s a happy couple!

We snuck away for a couple minutes to grab some portraits, these two are so relaxed and gorgeous together!

Are they gorgeous or what.

There were hula hoops a plenty!

The boys :)

Tasha’s sister was cracking everyone up with her speech.

Everyone spread out all over the Pamet Harbor Yacht Club waiting for the sun to go down with cocktails, hula hoops, and bocce ball, what else do you need?

Sing it!

There was a serious dog pile of dancers after “More than Words” played :)

Tasha and Jared, thank you for being that perfect couple, for loving each other and your families with all your heart and letting me document it, it was such a pleasure! Get on over to Facebook for more and come back soon for their amazingly eccentric and beautiful details!

Brewlywed at Sam Adams Brewery – xo, CoCo

Welcome to Brewlywed everyone! CoCo had the pleasure of photographing the annual release of Sam Adams’s Brewlywed Ale. For the second year in a row, as part of the event, Sam Adams also offers wedding ceremonies (or vow renewals) on the site of the brewery! So cool right?! It was a gorgeous day in June, and people were lined up around the block to get a sip of their delicious beer.

Owner Jim Koch addressed the crowd to open the brewery, and then gave everyone a little surprise…

He sabered a bottle of Brewlywed! Well done!

Caroline from Wild Folk Studio made some gorgeous flower arrangements, not to mention hop cone boutonnières for the grooms!

These two were the first couple to ever get married at Sam Adams! They came back this year to renew their vows!

Another vow renewal!

This couple came all the way from Iowa! So cool!

They had some great shoes!

Jim and the Henri Gough, the Justice of the Peace, had such a good time!

What a fun day! Thank you everyone for participating!

Nichole + Steve — North End Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Meet Nichole & Steve! How adorable are these two?! Nichole is a good friend of Krista’s, she is beautiful, talented, and her and Steve make such a fun couple. He kept her laughing while we chatted and walked around their date spot in the North End. It was a gorgeous night and I had so much fun getting to know these two. :) Now, feast your eyes on a selection of my favorites!

I mean, is she stunning or what.

Gotta have a little goofy face…

Love these two!! Get on over to Facebook for more, and come back soon for my next lovely couple!

Baby AJ – Eight Month Portrait Session

Baby AJ is heading towards his first birthday!! Krista caught up with the family at their home to check in and capture all of the cute things AJ is doing these days.

AJ’s eyes are still amazing! And what a happy little guy he is!

Look who’s sitting up all on his own! Go AJ!

Already thinking like a big boy: You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate. :)

Who doesn’t love a go on the swing?

Look at Delia go! SUCH a big girl!

So sweet!

Next time we check in with this family, AJ will be ONE! Come back soon to see one of our Associate CoCo’s new couples!

Baby AJ – Four Month Portrait Session

Baby AJ is getting bigger! And he’s SO full of grins! Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old. In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age… :)

He’s gonna be a heartbreaker with those big blue eyes!!

Doesn’t AJ look so proud of himself in this one?

Tummy time sure is hard work, especially when the grown-ups toss a blanket over your head! :)

Delia showed off her skills on the swingset. It’s so fun to see how much she has grown since Krista first met her!

Totally tuckered out. :)

Next up–AJ at eight months! How quickly the time is flying by! Thank you, Eileen and Fabio, for allowing us to share your beautiful family. :)

Melanie + Ian — Backyard Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

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!

Gorgeous!

LOVE Ian’s parents’ front porch!!

Love these two! Their wedding was just as perfectly “them” as their engagement session and I can’t wait to finish editing so I can share their big day!!

Baby AJ – Newborn Session

Time to meet little AJ! But first, big sister must get herself camera-ready. :)

AJ had his own way of preparing for the shoot! :)

I love this quiet moment caught between mama and her new baby.

Oh my goodness, the hair on this boy!! (Much like big sister had when she was a newborn!)

I LOVE the way Delia is gazing down at her brother in this one!

Such a silly sister!

Hello there, little man. :)

While I do have a bit of a thing for baby toes, these little fingers are SO darling! Such perfection.

Savoring a quiet moment.

Krista has now finished Baby AJ’s year-in-the-life sessions, so stay tuned to see more of this growing boy!!

Baby AJ – Maternity Shoot

I have another sweet family to share with you, starting with their very colorful maternity shoot taken at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield. Eileen and Fabio had Year-In-The-Life Portraits taken back in 2009 as they welcomed little Delia into their family. (Check them out here!)
