Nichole + Steve — Church Landing Wedding – xo, CoCo

Oh, Nichole and Steve, where do I start?! Well first of all Nichole is a friend of Krista’s so when she came to us for her wedding photography, we just couldn’t resist! You may remember them from their North End Engagement, and also remember that they are totally adorable. They were married on one of the last few beautiful Fall days in late November at the beautiful Church Landing in Meredith, New Hampshire. We had the run of the place for the day and could not have been more grateful for the gorgeous light and weather. Not to mention this couple and their wonderfully welcoming families and friends, what a fun day!

He obviously took his job very seriously…:)

Krista was my fabulous second shooter for the day, Nichole is a good friend of hers after all! She started out with Steve and his dudes.

Love.

LOVE.

Oh, Nichole you are such a beauty!

Krista grabbed this of Steve when he first saw Nichole!

Workin hard :)

This is Krista’s view of the dock, love the blue!

And mine.

The next few are Krista’s, man we got some gorgeous light!

Make love to the camera Steve…

Then into the library with the bridal party!

We just had to take advantage of this hallway with branches, it was so cool! This is Krista’s view with ambient light.

The girls needed to kill a little time before the ceremony, so might as well sing “Wheels on the bus!”

The next two are from Krista.

Krista’s view of the kiss!

We found time for a little night photography right after the ceremony, here’s a long exposure of the building from Krista, gorgeous!

And some fun with lights in the trees from me!

Steve’s mom was killing it, love those heels!

Fun with their Photo Booth pictures :)

Steve’s dad, also a champ on the dance floor. :)

Not to mention Nichole!

Woohoo! What a fabulous day it was, thank you Nichole and Steve for being so incredibly easy to work with, you and your wonderful families. We wish you all the best! Find more on Facebook! We also have these wonderful vendors to thank for such a gorgeous day!

Henia + Jay — Intimate Davio’s Boston Restaurant Wedding – xo, CoCo

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.

Of course we had to snag some portraits with their adorable dogs!

Such sweet ladies!

By far, my favorite.

Their ceremony space was just outside Davio’s in downtown Boston, it was a cool set up.

Jay’s father’s speech was so sweet, his parent’s seemed so proud!

Absolutely LOVE these two! Thank you Henia and Jay for sharing your love with me, it was such a pleasure! See more on Facebook if you dare!

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

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 :)

Such stunningly simple dress, love.

Trying to get a sneak peak of the ceremony…

It was drizzling but everyone made the most of it!

The fabulous Cris Llerena of Nom de Plume Photo joined me for the day and grabbed this great wide shot.

We ran over to the Public Gardens, full of colorful leaves, and lots of tourists, for some quick portraits.

At the very spot where they got engaged, so sweet!

One more stop at Post Office Square, love the city scape!

Cocktail hour was in full swing at the BC Club as the sun set.

Such a great view from up there!

The speeches were a hit!

Woohoo! What a fabulous and fun-filled day, thank you T & P for being so gracious and for loving each other so much! You make my job easy! Find them on Facebook too!

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

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.

These shoes reminded me of Sex and the City, am I right ladies? Hello, Lover.

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.

Gigi must have slipped this into Jason’s garment bag, he got ready just down the hallway from her.

I was very lucky to be joined by Paul McNerney of Studio Foto for the day! He grabbed this of Jason, and the next two of their first look.

Love these shots from Paul, Gigi was so nervous and sweet.

Paul also ran upstairs to grab this during the ceremony, absolutely stunning! (Look closely, that’s the Kennedy compound in the distance).

Gigi’s dad, such a sweetie.

Gigi you are killing me!

Love this from Paul.

This lookout felt like the hottest place on earth at the time, but totally worth it!

We grabbed the couple at sunset for a few more portraits, some of my favorites!

Paul‘s view, love.

Paul grabbed this as well.

Gigi and her sisters were killing it on the dance floor.

Gigi and Jason you two are so dear to my heart, thank you and your families for being incredibly welcoming and loving. Thank you for letting me photograph your love! Head over to Facebook for more!

Theresa + Kristin — Willowdale Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

I mean, where do I start with these two? These girls are seriously the cat’s meow. We connected from the moment they walked into the studio, and somehow I knew and thought to myself “This is going to be awesome.” They are loving, fun, generous and beautiful inside and out. I’m so honored to have been there to witness their nuptials, it was the best day. Here are a few favorites from the day, it was so hard to choose!

Kristin’s dad was speechless. LOVE.

Theresa had a few laughs getting into her dress.

It stopped raining at just the right time so we could do their First Look in the courtyard of The Willowdale Estate.

Peter grabbed this from the side.

Bubbles!

I was joined by the fabulous Peter Morse for the day who grabbed the next two shots.

They had the sweetest first dance with all their parents watching in the background. So cute!

Oh and they definitely know how to have fun too…

This girl.

We snuck out for a few more romantic portraits under the street lamps, so pretty!

You girls.. I just can’t take it! Thank you for being so fabulous, so fun and altogether awesome. Everyone stay tuned for their PINK details!

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding Details

Lori & Jim’s wedding details were beautiful, simple and classy, and practically perfect in every way! Take a look at some of my favorites!

They used a huge cork board made from wine bottle corks for the place cards – it was dreamy! They had to drink a LOT of wine to make it, but I’m sure it was worth the effort ;) Before they pinned all the cards on it, I had to play with it a bit!

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding

060113_D0416-blog

Are you ready for this?! Lori, in her Jenny Packham dress and Jim as dapper as can be, were married at the stunningly beautiful Mack House in Chatham on Cape Cod. It was an amazing day, and these two looked like they were straight out of a movie!

Lori & the girls got ready at the Mack House where the wedding was held – love that space! She had these cute pink robes for each bridesmaid with their initial on them – so fun!

Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

Jim and the guys got ready over at the Chatham Bars Inn, and my fabulous Associate CoCo was there to capture it all

Haha, I love this!

So dashing!

Back at the house, it was time to get Lori into her breathtaking Jenny Packham dress! I mean that literally, I totally gasped when I saw it! Such a stunner!

Our third shooter for the day, and the talented calligrapher behind all of the stationary, Jessica Ulrich, caught bridesmaid Jillian reacting to Lori in her dress.

060113_D0367-Edit

Lori, you’re so beautiful!!

Our very dapper groom! I mean, he looks like Dean Martin or something!

060113_D0391-Edit

Time for the First Look!

Jim’s reaction is priceless! Great capture, CoCo!

So happy!

You know, just hanging out with her best friends, no biggie

Time for the ceremony! Grandma’s ready! Love these two from CoCo!

I wish I had heard what Jim & Lori’s Dad said to each other here!! Everyone was cracking up!

CoCo’s view

Such a lovely place for a wedding!

More laughter! Always a good thing!

Married!!

Post-ceremony bliss! My favorite moment of the day!!

Groomsmen, every wedding’s best comic relief

Lori & Jim were totally done with portraits, but I just HAD to sit them down for a moment in this beautiful light! And then they did this… and it’s my favorite photo of the day! So glad we took that extra 2 minutes to make it happen!

Cocktail Hour! It’s always so nice when we get the portraits done before the ceremony so they can enjoy, and I can actually shoot this part of the day!

Cheers!

It’s never too late to finish writing your Best Man Toast! He assures me he got it done with plenty of time to spare!

Our girl Amy came along with us for her very first wedding! She snagged this great shot from the deck! Pretty sweet first wedding to shoot, I must say!

Gorgeous! Oh, how I love the Cape!

Then it was reception time! I snagged this right before Lori & Jim walked into the tent – they look ready, don’t they?!

Love these that Jessica captured of the first dance!

Lori & Jim – THANK YOU! We absolutely loved being a part of your day, and wish you so much happiness!!

Big thanks to my super sized Krista Photography team for the day – CoCo, Amy & Jessica! You guys not only rocked, but made the day, and the whole weekend even more delightful! xoxo
