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!

Stephanie + Marc — Maine Backyard Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Artsy backyard Maine wedding

It was so difficult to pick my favorites of Stephanie and Marc’s artsy, beautiful, and unique DIY details. The bride and groom were married in Stephanie’s parents’ backyard in  Maine that could easily be mistaken for a sculpture park, there is art everywhere! Krista and I had an amazing day with these two, not to mention their amazingly gracious friends and family. Take a look for yourself, how could I choose?!

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

Gatsby Inspired Cape Cod wedding (Chatham, MA)

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!

Tasha + Jared — Pamet Harbor Yacht Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

DIY, artistic and eccentric wedding in Truro, MA Cape Cod

How do I describe these two?? They are beautiful, laid-back, stylish, eccentric, incredibly loving, and most of all FUN. Tasha and Jared and their amazing friends and family make me realize why love my job so much. I’m so glad they found me and I feel privileged to have been invited in to document this intimate celebration. Their wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Bright and sunny but with a cool breeze. Organized enough so that the day ran smoothly but was also one of the most relaxed affairs I’ve ever taken part in. These two operate with a quiet cool, so that nothing on their gorgeous day went unnoticed or unappreciated, but all of its wonderfulness was totally expected, because that’s just how cool they are. PS- The frames above were shot right after the ceremony on Kodak Tri-X iso 400 35mm film.

Let’s start off with Tasha at her parents’ house, Tasha’s mom is an artist and has an amazingly eclectic sense of style, I poked around the rooms and found this cutie sleeping :)

Christine + Randy — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding

Christine & Randy were married at a beautiful and quaint Acton Congregational Church, and later celebrated surrounded by so much family and loving friends at The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. It was the PERFECT Fall day, not too cold, fluffy white clouds in the sky, and those leaves! You’ll see that her details were so perfectly Fall as well, dark reds, oranges, and blues everywhere, and the cutest granny smith apple place cards!

Krista and I started with the girls while they got ready at Gibbet Hill, I ran around outside for some sunny details to set the scene.

Liz + Pete – State Room Wedding Details

Liz & Pete’s details were absolutely LOVELY. Stately, chic, classic, and fun. Exactly what every State Room wedding should be… and then they just forgot all about it and danced the night away surrounded by TONS of friends and family. Exactly what we love to see :)

Let’s start with Liz’s Lazaro dress! It was intricately detailed, and seemingly custom fit to her tiny figure, she was so happy and beautiful in her dress, she just couldn’t help twirling around and running her fingers through her veil.

And of course everyone’s favorite shoes.

This comb held in her veil. Just the right amount of bling.

I grabbed her pastel and white flowers and ran around the Ames Hotel with them, all of their furniture is black white and gray, a photographer’s paradise!

The following shots are from Anne Ruthmann of Pete’s sharp suit and his groomsmen gifts.

Liz wore her grandmother’s ring on her right hand, it was so stunningly sparkly!

The bridal party looked great together, especially from Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film!

The Lazaro bridesmaid dresses were incredible, the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. They were draped so beautifully, were just sexy enough, and were so flattering on Liz’s girls!

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross was plain old breathtaking.

The pink pastels made their way into the centerpieces as well, which varied in height with rose petals to accompany them on the tables.
