It’s not unusual to run into at least 5 other brides while you shoot in the Boston Public Gardens… this time we spotted our friend Kate shooting her own wedding!

Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

Spring Wedding at the Boston Exchange Conference Center

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014!  Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments?  Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them?  Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do?  Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?!  It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel

Danielle + Jesse — Boston Public Garden Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session at Boston Public Garden

These two sweethearts met up with me on a quintessential Fall afternoon in the city, the light was golden and it was just warm enough to get by with a sweater and a snuggle. This sweet pair had actually never even been to the Public Gardens before, so it was really fun to wander around with them in this gorgeous space in the last light of day. I just can’t get enough of their sweet expressions, and joyful faces. And did I mention that light?!

T + P — Boston College Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Boston College Club Wedding

I dare say, I have never heard “Thank You” as many times in one day as I heard from T & P on their wedding day. These two and their families are so wonderfully genuine, kind, and altogether fabulous, it was such a pleasure spending the day with them, let alone photographing them! T got ready at her parents’ house, full of bridesmaids, kids and family, it was frantic and fun.

This guy wasn’t too pumped about his bow-tie :)
