Liz + Dylan — Reid Castle Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

I am so excited to show off all these GORGEOUS details from Liz and Dylan’s fun, emotional, autumnal wedding day. Liz and Dylan, and many other family members worked so hard to make this day perfect, and I’m telling you it was! Take a look at all the beautifully rich colors and personal details they put together, I can’t get enough!

Looking sharp, Dylan.

Krista was my second shooter for the day, (what a dream!), she also brought along a couple film cameras to play with. This was shot on her Widelux camera on Kodak Tri-x400 35mm film, isn’t it dreamy?

The castle was so fun to shoot in and around, so many architectural details, and beautiful light everywhere!

I suspect these pine cones were painstakingly assembled.

Such a richly colored space!

The candles going up the stairs really set the mood, along with Liz’s mom’s impeccable decor.

Liz + Dylan — Reid Castle Wedding – xo, CoCo

Liz and Dylan were faves from the start. Their sense of humor, all-together cuteness, absolute adoration of each other, not to mention their hilarious families and especially Dylan’s dad’s mustache, made their wedding day one of the BEST days. Ever. No seriously. Go ahead, see for yourself.

I started with Liz as she got ready in the bridal suite at Reid Castle, on the campus of Manhattanville College. This place was so cool! So many beautiful and interesting indoor spaces, with gorgeous light inside and out!

Krista was my second shooter for the day, (Dream team!), she started with Dylan and this cute guy next door.

Time for the ceremony! Liz and her dad were so sweet!

Krista snuck around the side to grab this, can you just feel how excited she is?!

Krista also ran upstairs to grab this, so pretty!

I stayed on the ground during the festivities at the reception while Krista shot from above, so fun right?

Their brother and sister made use of basically everyone in the room for their toasts, it was so fun, emotional and personal.

Then this happened, complete with “I’ve Had the Time of my Liiiiiife!” perfectly cued up. So good.

After the festivities, we took another few moments to shoot in this gorgeous space! These two were so generous with their time, and of course SO FUN to photograph.

Krista set this up, just LOVE it.

One more from Krista, how romantic are those candles??

Haha! Phone for you!

At their request we got everyone in the room on the dance floor for a group picture from the balcony. Love these guys!

These two just had to get a dance in while everyone was still at their tables.

Then it was party time!

And as a send off they killed it up on stage.

I can’t even say enough about these two! Thank you Liz & Dylan for trusting us with your memories, for cracking us up all day, for loving your day and everything it brought. We love you guys! Check out more on Facebook y’all and just WAIT for their details post full of autumnal color and that charming diy touch.

Sarah + Mike — Lyman Estate Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Take a look at Sarah and Mike’s beautifully intimate and personal details! So much of their personality shined through during their wedding day at the Lyman Estate, right down to the programs, how cute are those?! I loved every moment of their wedding, I hope you enjoy a few more of my favorite moments and details! Let’s start with the most important part, the shoes.

I can’t speak to how comfortable these were… pain is beauty, and aren’t they such a great color?!

Sarah’s beautiful one-shoulder dress is from The Bridal Garden in Manhattan, a not-for-profit bridal boutique that donates their proceeds to help educate disadvantaged children, now that’s a business model we can get behind!

The rooms at the Lyman have some fab wall paper and woodwork, I could shoot there every day! Allana, my second shooter for the day, grabbed this as mike got ready.

The greenhouse was in full bloom, this space was a dream to shoot in.

Sarah made her own jewelry and flowers, isn’t she crafty?!

Allana, workin it.

Lovely Summer Wedding at the Lyman Estate

Sometimes, we gotta test some light!

To make this look so good!

I brought along a little Canonet QL17 35mm film camera for the day and took some snap shots on Fuji Pro 400H film.

Lyman Estate Wedding

Good lookin crew! Man I love grey suits.

This dining room had the most gorgeous light, not to mention those simple and stately centerpieces!

Haha, caught ya!

Chive Events was serving up some of their fabulous signature cocktails, house made cranberry soda anyone?

Also shot on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.

Lyman Estate Wedding

The food from Chive was not only gorgeous, I love their serving platters and utensils, it was SO DELICIOUS.

Don’t worry, the Lord and Lady will watch over your cake.

Mmmmm carrot cake…

… Allana approved.

Marc Anthony from Murray Hill talent gets the award for most energetic DJ ever, he was AWESOME!

Sarah + Mike — Lyman Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

You may remember Sarah and Mike from one of my favorite engagement sessions EVER. I think the thing I love most about these two is not only are they adorable, fun, perfectly nerdy, and just the right amount of silly, they completely trusted me. They have the type of cool confidence in themselves and in me that makes my job so easy. Also, their wedding was Ah-Mazing! Intimate, beautiful, personal, and FUN… ALL of my favorite things. Alright, enough gushing, let’s start with Sarah in her room at the stately and stunning Lyman Estate, one of my favorite places to shoot, and wait til you see the outdoor dance floor!

Sarah’s girls were cracking me up.

I shot a few snap shots with my Canonet QL17 35mm film camera, using Fuji 400H film throughout the day. Its such a fun little camera, and film brings a whole other quality to their pictures, can you tell the difference?

Sometimes dresses take a long time… :)

Shot with my Canonet QL17 on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.

Mt good friend Allana joined me for the day, and started with Mike down the hall, what a handsome guy!

SUCH a beautiful day!

Lovely Summer Wedding at the Lyman Estate

We walked through the greenhouse for a minute, I LOVED the light in there!

FAVE. Guys, you are TOO cute.

And still just the right amount of silly…

Allana brought along her prism to do some experimenting, I just love this picture.

We thought the library might be a nice backdrop, I must say it suits Sarah very well.

Another shot from my Canonet QL17 on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.

And here’s Allana’s view:

Bridal party time, and you know what that means… bad jokes to make them laugh!

Their gardens were so lush and beautiful!

STOP. IT.

We had a little time to relax before the ceremony, when does that ever happen?! Allana hung out with the girls upstairs.

While I shot some details in this beautiful house!

Shot with my Canonet QL17 on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.

Almost time…

Sarah’s brother officiated, he did so good!

Aaaaaand then it was time for shots! Allana grabbed these, dying.

Omg, love this guy, Marc Anthony, most excited Dj EVER. Shot with my Canonet QL17 on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.

After dinner we even got time for MORE portraits, can this day get any better?!

Allana shot this of their “First Dance.”

Then it was time to party, outside! Check out this outdoor dance floor that Chive Events put together!

Lovely Summer Wedding at the Lyman Estate

Man, what an AWESOME day. Sarah and Mike, thank you so very much for your love, your honesty, for trusting me and for your fabulous, beautiful, and perfectly silly faces! You are the BEST! Find more on Facebook and stay tuned for their super fun details!

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding in Film

I am primarily a digital photographer, but I started out shooting all black & white film weddings – and I miss it sometimes!! So, every once in a while I take my film cameras along to a wedding and have a little fun with film. This time I even used some, gasp, COLOR film! Haha, haven’t done that in YEARS! Totally worth it though :)

Panoramic of the girls getting ready. Shot on my Wideluxe with Kodak Tri-X 400.
