Kate + Peter — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Harvard Faculty Club Wedding

Man, oh man where do I even start with these two?! Kate and Peter were so much fun to photograph on their rainy yet beautiful wedding day at the Harvard Faculty Club. Kate was glowing, and the two of them were full of smiles and high-fives all day. And if you need more proof of how awesome they are check out their New York Times Vows Video, I’m telling you it’s some serious cute overload.

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

Baby Judah – Newborn Session

Yay!  It’s time to meet Baby Judah! Krista had taken Suze’s maternity pictures just a couple of weeks before Judah was born and was very excited to return and meet this little guy when he was only a few days old!

I absolutely love family history and the sharing of things between generations.  So I  LOVE that this is the same bassinet that Judah’s father and grandfather slept in as babies!

Su-per Ba-by!!!

Oh my…  the hazards of photographing a NAKED newborn baby, especially baby BOYS!  Great capture, Krista!  :)  I’m sure that Judah’s prom date will get a kick out of this one someday!

However, without risking a little mess a picture like this would never happen.  So darn adorbs.

Judah doesn’t seem so impressed, but I am totally digging his striped hat!

Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends!  And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby!  And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend!   You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago.  Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world.  They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly.  And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture!  :)

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette??  I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!).  :)

Bethany + Jon — Falmouth Engagement Session

Falmouth, MA engagement session

We are getting closer and closer to being completely caught up with our better-late-than-never couples! Just FOUR more to go!! Can you believe it?? I’m so excited! And you all say, “Yes CoCo, we are very excited too, now get on with it, who are these adorable people??”

OK OK fine :) Krista met up with Bethany & Jon down in Falmouth, MA, where Bethany grew up and where they would eventually be married. We LOVE shooting in a place that means something to you, it just makes it that more special!

These two romped around The Knob while Krista tagged along and shot some simple, sweet, natural pictures, just how we like it :)

Suze + Jeremy – Steele Hill Resort Wedding

Seeing as how Krista is very good friends with this lovely bride, I’m just going to quote her for a second…

“It’s an awesome thing to get to photograph your friends :) I’ve known Suze for almost 6 years now, exactly as long as I’ve lived in Massachusetts. She was one of my first friends here. We’ve been in bible studies together, sang together on the worship team at church, prayed together, talked a lot about relationships and love, and she’s even assisted me at a couple of weddings! It’s been so cool to watch over the last year since she started dating Jeremy – to see them challenge & encourage one another, and now to celebrate with them as they begin the rest of their life together. And I was doubly blessed to get to photograph their wedding day!”

That was obviously written right after their wedding because now (almost) a year later Suze and Jeremy are expecting their first child and we could not be more excited for them!

Now for wedding day, Krista and I started out with Suze as she got ready in her suite at the Steele Hill Resort. The bride and groom were desperately hoping for a beautiful snowy New England day. The scenery was GORGEOUS, but not snowy… So like their engagement session we just had to make the most of it, and boy did we!! We ended up with about two hours to run around town and take pictures of these cuties before the ceremony, which was super fun! The results of which you’ll see in a minute :)

Here’s Suze coiffing on wedding day.
