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

South End (Boston) Engagement Session

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!

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

DIY, artistic and eccentric wedding in Truro, MA Cape Cod

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 :)

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…Brewlywed Event at Sam Adams Brewery

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!

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!

Theresa + Kristin — Newburyport Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

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!

Anna Kathryn + Joel — Seaward Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo

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.

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!

Rachel + Jon — Hawthorne Hotel Wedding – xo, CoCo

I’m so excited to interrupt the schedule of better-late-than-never posts to bring you the lovely Rachel and Jon, my FIRST wedding as an Associate for Krista Photography! Wahoo!

Rachel and Jon are good friends of Krista’s so I was simultaneously super nervous and truly honored and excited to document their love! These two are complete sweethearts, fun-loving, gracious and all together wonderful. They were married on an otherwise gloomy January day at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA. Rachel and Jon and their entire bridal party were such troopers! They braved the cold for their First Look and for some portraits and I was SO grateful, even though it was seriously GRAY out there! Thanks a lot New England :)

OK, here’s Rachel, isn’t she so cute?!

Rachel + Jon — Lynch Park Engagment – xo, CoCo

Horray!! It’s finally time to post my first official couple as an Associate for Krista Photography! Much more of these to come in 2013, but for now feast your eyes on the adorable Rachel and Jon!

After talking to Rachel about how her and Jon got engaged after hopping a fence at Lynch Park to sit on “their rock” over looking the ocean and Beverly Harbor, I knew we had to shoot there. I love going somewhere that has a real significance to the couple, and it didn’t hurt that Lynch Park is a super versatile space, with tons of cute little spots for these two to snuggle. I had seen these two at a couple of Krista’s weddings, as they are good friends of Krista’s, but we had never really met. So we had a really great time goofing around and getting to know each other a bit.We met up on a particularly gorgeous Fall evening, ran around, talked, laughed, ya know all that good stuff :)
