Katie + Brian — Black Rock Country Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Lovely Fall Wedding at Black Rock Country Club

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, folks. Katie & Brian were married on one of the last days of Fall, when the light was buttery and warm and you could still get away without wearing a coat. It was one of those wonderfully beautiful days where the Bride and Groom’s tireless preparations paid off, everything went to plan, and they just got to have fun and enjoy their day. I mean, it really doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s start with Katie as she got ready with her girls.

I love Katie’s soft and feminine details, they just fit her perfectly!

Linan + Steven — Hyatt Harborside Wedding

Linan & Steven got married at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston on a lovely but windy day – isn’t it always windy down there?  So many friends and family came in from all over the world for this wedding, and everyone was clearly thrilled to be there!  Even though most of the day everyone was speaking Mandarin, Krista and her Shooting Assistant Peter Morse had a really great time!  Sometimes a camera is the only language you need! Shout out to Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings for helping to translate throughout the day, you were a huge help!

As you saw in their engagement, this girl knows how to choose shoes, her wedding shoes were no exception! The wonderful Peter Morse hung out with Krista for the day and grabbed this.
