Melanie + Ian — Backyard Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Springtime Engagement Session at home

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!

Newburyport Engagement Session

I met these two awesome ladies at their apartment in Newburyport, such a beautiful city with so much variety for shooting pictures, I’m so jealous they actually live there!  It was so much fun meeting their (MANY!) pets, checking out the nooks and crannies of Newburyport and seeing where they were engaged. Let’s start out on their front porch, the light was gorgeous!

Rockport MA Wedding

In case you haven’t read the previous post, I (CoCo) shot this wedding back in September 2011 for these two adorable people, Anna Kathryn and Joel who also happen to be Krista’s good friends. Now that our blog is caught up, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites with you from some of MY older weddings while I’m editing my first Engagement Session of 2013, with many more to come! Woohoo!

OK, let’s start out with AK, getting ready.

Anna Kathryn + Joel — North End Engagement – xo, CoCo

Rockport MA Wedding

Hey everyone! Wedding season is ramping up over here at Krista Photography, and now that I’m DONE with our better-late-then-never posts, I have a little more room to show you some of my work!  This is Anna Kathryn (AK, as we call her) and Joel. Anna Kathryn does fabulous hair and Joel is a musician, they are both friends of Krista’s, and duh, they are insanely adorable. I shot their wedding in September 2011, oh my gosh, has it been TWO years, it feels like yesterday. Crazy! Anyways, about a month beforehand we got together on an otherwise dreary afternoon in downtown Boston. We started out near Berkelee College of Music where Joel went to school and romped around from there… Feast your eyes on these cuties!

Ok, here we go, meet Paul and Casey, some of the cutest people ever! These two romped all around Newport, RI with Krista one lovely evening. They caught some gorgeous light, found some really cute spaces, and had a fantastic time! I also must commend Casey’s color choice, I LOVE a guy in neutral and a girl in a gorgeous pop of color. They look great!

Laurie + Hakan — Wedding Album

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in on Laurie and Hakan’s very last post! Here’s a sneak peak into their amazing Queensberry 12×12 Matted Duo album! This thing is GORGEOUS. Lets start out with their whole little package: album, parent album, and disc of images. Wouldn’t you love to come into the studio and see this waiting for you?

They chose wisely and got this luxurious cover fabric that catches the light so amazingly, hard to translate in a photo sadly….

Here are few of my favorite pages from the design.
