Elena + Olivier — University of Pennsylvania Engagement – xo, CoCo

Summer Engagement Portrait Session at UPenn in Philadelphia

Olivier and his beautiful Elena and I met up on the campus of UPenn, where they met, on a beautiful Summer afternoon. They were wearing some fabulously crazy colors, the sun was shining (right when we needed it to!) and the campus was quiet, well except for the occasional scavenger hunters, but more on that later! I had a great time getting to know them and getting a personal tour of UPenn’s gorgeous campus! We started out hiding on these stairs, how great are those colors?!

Colorful Spring Wedding at the Omni Providence Hotel

Are you ready for all this sparkly colorful amazingness?? I know I am! Meagan and Evan incorporated not only some of the most colorful and fabulous details into their big day, but also some of the most personal and sweetest touches I have seen. They created the most wonderful warm and welcoming vibe, even as their photographer I felt so welcome and taken care of that day. Love these guys! Alright enough about me, enjoy!

Aren’t we all suckers for a good pair of sparkly shoes?!

Meagan + Evan — Omni Providence Wedding – xo, CoCo

Colorful Spring Wedding at the Omni Providence

You remember these two from their sunrise, that’s right, sunrise engagement shoot right? It feels like forever ago that I first met these two lovebirds so it was so good to see them finally tie the knot! This was one of the most wonderful days I have experienced in a long time. Meagan had obviously meticulosly planned every moment of the day to be special and meaningful and it really showed. From her First Look with her dad to dancing with her new husband late into the night. They added so many personal touches throughout the day to make their guests feel welcome and appreciated, it was such a good vibe, but more of that in the details post! :) For now, enjoy my favorite moments from the day!

I started out with Meagan in her suite as she got ready.

Sarah + Rob — Minuteman National Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session at Minuteman National Park

Sarah, Rob and I got together on a gorgeous evening at one of my favorite parks, Minuteman National Park, in Concord. The light was beautiful and these two can not get any cuter. They met while working at the same school and I caught up with them in the middle of their well-deserved Summer break, I was super jealous of Sarah’s summer glow! I hope you enjoy my favorites!

Laura + Dayna — Beacon Hill Engagement – xo, CoCo

Beacon Hill Engagement Portrait Session

Laura and Dayna and I met up on a wonderful and warm afternoon in the early Summer, I knew these two would be amazing from the start. First of all they have the best story, as told to me by Laura, they used to pass each other on the sidewalk nearly everyday on the way to work, always noticing each other but never speaking of course, though for dramatic effect I imagine at least making some sideways glances :). Some time down the line they both ended up at the Liberty Hotel one evening for drinks, separately, but Laura finally got up the nerve to introduce herself and the rest is history! Naturally, we started out their session at the very place where their relationship started, not to mention one of my favorites hotels in Boston, then strolled past their apartment and through their beautiful Beacon Hill neighborhood. I hope you enjoy my favorites!

Beacon Hill Engagement Portrait Session

The light was beautiful inside Alibi and the place was empty!

In my opinion, every engagement session should start with cocktails!

So I started out with Kate in my favorite room at the Faculty Club, LOVE that wallpaper!
