Mini Sessions 2014

There is no better season than fall in New England! Perfect for a day of mini-sessions. Special thanks to Russell Farms for (once again!) loaning us some bales of hay and pumpkins for the day!

And this little guy. Well, Christopher is basically one of the Krista Photography team. We’d steal him in a heartbeat if his parents would let us! (They won’t. We’ve asked. More than once.) ;)

Baby Mason – Downtown Boston Family Portrait Session

111514_D0064-Edit
Krista shot Katelyn and Evan’s wedding several years ago and now they have a super cute little guy named Mason! They all met up in Boston, on a very chilly fall day, and wandered around. Mason was such a trooper and happily walked around in the cold, allowing Krista to capture his dimpled grin at every turn!

Baby Donnie – Backyard family portrait session

110114_D0029-Edit

Krista met Jessica several years ago when she was a bridesmaid in Elena and Dan’s wedding and was thrilled to hear from her wanting to do family portraits at the family’s home. Backyard firepit, a walk in the woods, an adorable pup AND baby boy with two perfectly placed bottom teeth – it made for a fabulous morning!

Becky + Mike — Harvard Square Engagement – xo, CoCo

L0914_D0001-Edit

Becky, Mike and I got a miraculously warm November day to wander around Harvard Square together. They had never spent much time there, but the light was beautiful and we had a great time discovering some characteristic little nooks and crannies for them to cuddle in. :) These two were so comfortable with each other, I felt like I barely had to work at all! In fact, it always amazes me, no matter how beautiful you think a person is on their own, something happens to them when they are with the one they love, a light inside makes them glow all over. The same is true for these two, not only are they both beautiful and interesting people in their own right, there is something about their energy together that is absolutely infectious, and infinitely better than their individual parts alone. You know, sometimes things just fall into place.

We started out in Harvard Yard.

L0914_D0065-Edit

L0914_D0082-Edit

And finally out onto the Weeks Footbridge, with this BEAUTIFUL light, I was eating it up!

Katie + Brian — Black Rock Country Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, folks. Katie & Brian were married on one of the last days of Fall, when the light was buttery and warm and you could still get away without wearing a coat. It was one of those wonderfully beautiful days where the Bride and Groom’s tireless preparations paid off, everything went to plan, and they just got to have fun and enjoy their day. I mean, it really doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s start with Katie as she got ready with her girls.

I love Katie’s soft and feminine details, they just fit her perfectly!

L0814_D0065-Edit

L0814_D0076-Edit

Katie gave her adorable parents some very thoughtful embroidered handkerchiefs, their reaction was so sweet!

L0814_D0089-Edit

Then it was time to head to the church!

L0814_D0095-Edit

Meanwhile, my lovely second shooter Cris Llerena, started with Brian and his boys. This little guy, can you even stand it?!

An heirloom cake topper, and room filled with tons of candles made everything feel so romantic. And I haven’t seen a Groom’s cake in so long, this one Katie arranged was awesome!

Ashley + Andrew — Paul Revere Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

I mean would you just LOOK at that face?! I’ll admit, this laugh was induced by the embarrassment of public kissing, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do! Ashley and Andrew were such fabulous company on this surprisingly warm Fall evening in Boston. They took me on a tour of their gorgeous Charlestown streets, showed me all their favorite little spots, and we even made our way over to the brand new Paul Revere Park under the Zakim Bridge. This night was, I daresay, TOO fun.

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

LOVE this!

I mean, how cool is this spot?!

Cuties… and gorgeous light to boot!

We strolled back over near their apartment and found this gorgeous ivy.

We had to get something in front of their adorable building!

They have a pretty sweet roof-deck too, with a killer view of the Bunker Hill monument, what a great spot!

That LIGHT! KILLING me.

Ash and Andrew thank you so much for taking me on such a fun adventure in your beautiful neighborhood! Check out more on Facebook y’all!

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

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?!

You know I love people in trees… :)

Pink clouds, my fave!

Kaitlin + Brent — Wentworth by the Sea Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Wentworth by the Sea Wedding

Kaitlin and Brent’s elegant affair at Wentworth by the Sea was wonderfully suited to their fun and easy-going spirit. With touches of southern charm, and New England scenery, it was relaxed, beautiful, fun, and so perfectly them. Let’s start with Kaitlin’s stunning and classic dress. The lace sleeves and neckline were stunning on her, and I love her shoes for their pop of color.

Kerri Green my second shooter for the day shot the next two as the boys got ready.

The color palette of the flowers was perfect for their late summer wedding.

Wasn’t the detail beautiful?

Ben Keys from Wed on Canvas started his work earlier in the day, painting the scene of New Castle Congregational Church. Just wait til you see the final product!

I love the old-style pews at the church.

Kerri also grabbed this as the ceremony started.

Hahaaha! Need some help there?

Wentworth by the Sea Wedding

This set of details from Kerri as well, the light was beautiful inside and out!

Wentworth by the Sea Wedding

Ben was doing his magic during the whole reception!

Do it.

The Felix Brown band was amazing, one of the best bands I’ve seen!

Man oh man, what a gorgeous day! Kaitlin and Brent, thank you again for letting me document your day, crack bad jokes to make you laugh, and making me and my team feel so incredibly welcome, the pleasure was all ours. Thanks y’all, check out more on Facebook, I dare ya!

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

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!
