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!

Engagement Portrait Session in Boston's North End

Ok, get ready for an adorable overload. I met up with Kaitlin and Brent at during one of Kaitlin’s very last weeks in Boston, and therefore very last weeks in her adorable North End apartment. We clicked immediately, had a quick drink together and basically did not stop laughing for the next hour. These guys are just so much fun! But don’t let me tell you, I’ll let you find out for yourself…

Molly + Eli — Summer Engagement Session in Brookline

Summer Engagement Portrait Session in Brookline, MA

So, you may have noticed that most of the blog posts lately have been from CoCo… Man, she makes me look like a slacker! ;)  Seriously, I’ve been sick almost all winter and haven’t made much time for blogging the last few months.  I think it’s high time I get back to it!!  What better way to start than with these love birds?!

I met up with Molly & Eli at their home in Brookline on a warm summer evening.  We took a walk through their neighborhood to a local park and enjoyed a little time hanging out, climbing trees, and definitely laughing!  Check out my favorites from our engagement shoot!

Christina + Preston — Boston Back Bay Engagement – xo, CoCo

Back Bay Boston Engagement Session

I don’t know how it happened but we got the most perfect weather and light exactly when we needed it during Christina and Preston’s Engagement session. Not only did they meet for the first time at Back Bay Station, they actually got engaged there as well! This was obviously a special place for them and provided a really fun backdrop for me. We ran around the city, found some wonderful color and light, and I tried not to die of jealousy talking about Chicago with them, one of my favorite cities ever, and where they just happen to live! Enjoy!

Sarah + Mike — Corn Maze Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Marini Farm Corn Maze Autumn Engagement Session
Back in college, one of Sarah and Mike’s first meetings was at a corn maze, or a Maize Maze as we called them in Virginia, with a group of friends. It just sounds so perfect doesn’t it? Getting lost, making eyes at each other through the stalks, definitely sounds like a classic college love story to me :) So when Mike suggested and researched the heck out of Corn Mazes on the North Shore I thought it sounded like super fun idea. We ended up at Marini Farm in Ipswich, which was absolutely perfect. We more or less had the place to ourselves, it was late Fall and the light was INSANE. This definitely ended up being one of my favorites shoots of the year. These two are quiet, thoughtful, sweet and most of all FUN. Enjoy!

Intimate Boston wedding at Davio's Restaurant

Meet the two cutest people in the whole world, Henia and Jay. These two are so adorably in love I can’t even take it! It was such a pleasure spending the day with these two, Henia’s beautiful daughters and their closest friends and family. Their day was low-key, intimate, emotional, and exciting all rolled into one! We started out at Henia and Jay’s home in Andover, and caught some beautiful late Fall 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.

Gigi + Jason — Hyannis Private Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

Hyannis, MA (Cape Cod) wedding at private estate

Oh, Gigi and Jason, where do I begin?! I had the BEST feeling about these two when we first met over beers in Porter Square. They seemed genuinely excited and perfectly in love. Gigi giggled and smiled the whole time, more of that below :) While Jason and I nerded out on beer. Fun fact, Jason and I later ran into each other over the Summer, way the heck out in Vermont at Hill Farmstead, while he was on his bachelor weekend, great minds…

Well all that positive energy continued through to their wedding which was sunny, beautiful, and filled with LOTS of love and laughter. No joke, as I walked around the property in the morning, the first thing I heard was Gigi giggling up in her suite. Just LOVE her. OK, so here we start at this beautiful private estate, with big thanks to Jason’s family for their kindness and hospitality.

Gigi’s mother lives in Egypt and I was told she doesn’t get to see her daughters together all that often. She was just incredibly sweet, kissing, hugging and singing all day.
