Oh Melanie and Ian! What a wonderfully relaxed and love-filled wedding day you had. As you saw from their engagement, these two are not only absolutely adorable but they are straight up head over heels in love with each other! It was amazing to witness, and I was honored to hang out with them and their wonderfully supportive families all day at the Wayside Inn. Ian’s adoring family was obviously very proud of him and Melanie’s amazing French Canadian family was cracking me up all day! I’ll hang with them any time!
Ariel + Joshua — Camp Wedding on Lake Ossipee, NH
Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!
The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)
Some portraits with the ladies before the festivities get started

Such a natural beauty!
Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…
I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!
LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!
And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!
This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!
LOVE these moments!
Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…
My view of the Ketubah signing from the other side of the table
Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!
In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.
Cristen’s view of the kiss
RUNNING out the door!
An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!
“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)
This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!
Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!
A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!
Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!
Cristen captured these amazing moments!
This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)
The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!
Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!
More Josh awesomeness…
A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!
And a parting shot of the beautiful night sky above the tent! What a great night for a wedding!

Is she a stunner or what?!
The girls looked great!
There were bold beautiful colors everywhere!
The couple made these amazing terrariums, one for each table!

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!
Anna Kathryn + Joel — Seaward Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo
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.
Oh, and her AMAZING vintage details and dress!
Getting nervous… :)
AK and her mom praying together, I just love how tiny she looks… so sweet.
This DRESS.
Isn’t she stunning?!
FAVE.
LOVE her.
When I said this was a small wedding, I meant it!
Such a gorgeous spot.
It came time for the kiss and AK got her amazing red lipstick ALL OVER Joel… hahahahahah it was AWESOME!
We had a lovely and intimate dinner just after sunset.
Then Joel, an amazing musician, played us some tunes on the piano.
AHH!! I love you guys! What a fun day it was out in Rockport with you and your families. I can’t believe it’s been two years! Thanks everyone for a taking a look at a bit of my work. Now stay tuned for more and more as wedding season starts to pick up! Woohoo!

Ok, now wil you LOOK at those two! These cuties were married on a gorgeous day at The Villa in East Bridgewater, MA. The bride got ready at her father’s house where Krista and I met up with her.
Her dad is so adorable, waving to everyone as they left in the limo…
Our good friend Allana Taranto hung out with the dudes. Love this of Paul and his old school portraits!
Multitasking.
These next two of Paul are from Allana.
I can’t take it! Her dad is soooo cute!
Yea girl!
I shot these details of the ceremony, inside, it was lit beautifully with candles and lanterns.
Married! This one is from Allana.
I grabbed these details during portraits.
Man we caught some great light!
Allana shot this first detail…
I shot the cake.
This is mine from the first dance too. The building was super interesting looking.
We ran out for a few more portraits with some off-camera flash, it was all Allana’s idea. Love these!
Then it was time to party! This dance party was absolutely crazy. CRAZY.
Pretty sure Paul was singing Meat Loaf at this point…
This is mine, Paul’s brother was a dancing machine.
These people have the sweetest parents!
Oh my gosh, my FAVORITE, after the last dance Casey and Paul went around hugging everyone who had circled around them. It was a cry fest!
Guys! You are so awesome! Thank you for being so wonderful to work with before, on, and after your wedding! It was an absolute pleasure!

Um. YEA.
Krista had a lot of fun with these gorgeous Manolo’s!
The wonderful Lara Woolfson helped us out that day as well, she started with the boys at the Ames Hotel. We LOVE that place!
We had some gorgeous light in the Public Gardens in the afternoon!
The dresses were all matching silhouettes, with some beautifully simple white flowers.
Can’t get enough of those earrings!
Beautiful view from the State Room just before the ceremony.
The ceremony scene was so romantic!
Sushi, truffle fries, and mac and cheese!?
I mean this place was dripping in flowers!
OK, now onto the tables, which all varied in size, shape, and decoration. It was the most interesting and beautiful room!
The table arrangement was so fun!

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.
The Duo album allows for your pictures to bleed all the way to the edge while still being surrounded by their gorgeous mats.
And here’s
how they look in real life! Gorgeous! Love that matting!
Thanks everyone! We’ll see ya Friday for a special portrait post from Amy!
Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding Details
Ok everyone, here’s a small look at all of the STUNNING details at Laurie and Hakan’s Taj wedding. There’s a glimpse of the flowers above, MORE of those later. Let’s start out with Laurie’s amazing dress, it looked great on her AND it was beautifully detailed! Check out the back!
I love seeing those sparkles and ruffles peeping out.
Laurie had some gorgeous orchids in all the bouquets.
This was shot during the ceremony on Krista’s Widelux, on Kodak Tri-X 35mm film.
Ok now onto the reception. These flowers by Columbine Florist were absolutely stunning – rich hues of red, orange, dark purple, and green made these the PERFECT autumnal arrangements. And the crew from Boston Uplighting did an incredibly meticulous job lighting each and every centerpiece. Really amazing work.
The band, Legit, totally rocked!
What a gorgeous day! We have these people to thank for it!
