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 in Film

 Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

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.

Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Rehearsal Dinner

 Oh, I’m so excited to share this weekend of wedding excitement with you!  Let’s kick things off with Lori & Jim’s clam bake rehearsal dinner at Lori’s parents’ house!

Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

Best thing about having the party at home was that Kayla could come!!  She had an awesome time wondering around, getting her belly rubbed by pretty much everyone, splashing in the creek, and begging at tables :)  She looks so innocent here though!

There were a few spontaneous toasts that left everyone laughing, and left me kinda wishing I’d known Jim in college :)

One last portrait to end the evening!  Gotta rest up, there’s a big wedding tomorrow!!

I love getting to be a part of the rehearsal dinner, and the whole weekend of celebrations.  It’s such a great opportunity to meet all of your favorite people in the world and get everybody comfortable with being photographed by me.  So on the wedding day, not only are you totally comfortable and confident, but so are all your family and closest friends!  It’s so great!!!

Come back on Friday to see more for Lori & Jim’s FABULOUS wedding!  But if you can’t bear to wait, head on over to Facebook to check out all of my favorites from the weekend!

Melanie + Ian — Wayside Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo

Wayside Inn Wedding

Oh Melanie and Ian! What a wonderfully relaxed and love-filled wedding day you had. As you saw from their engagement, these two are not only absolutely adorable but they are straight up head over heels in love with each other! It was amazing to witness, and I was honored to hang out with them and their wonderfully supportive families all day at the Wayside Inn. Ian’s adoring family was obviously very proud of him and Melanie’s amazing French Canadian family was cracking me up all day! I’ll hang with them any time!

 Already thinking like a big boy:  You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate.  :)

Baby AJ is getting bigger!  And he’s SO full of grins!  Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old.  In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age…  :)

Baby AJ – Maternity Shoot

I have another sweet family to share with you, starting with their very colorful maternity shoot taken at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.  Eileen and Fabio had Year-In-The-Life Portraits taken back in 2009 as they welcomed little Delia into their family.  (Check them out here!)

Baby Cameron – One Year Portrait Session

“Baby” Cameron is not such a baby these days!  Krista met the family in Gloucester for Cameron’s final Year-in-the-Life session.  And what a stud he is at one year old!  They started at the Eastern Point Lighthouse, a lovely New England location near Wingaersheek Beach.

Baby Cameron — Six Month Portrait Session

Six month old portrait session

So Krista caught up with Baby Cameron when he was six months old at the family’s home.  From there they took a walk to the park for some perfect New England Fall foliage shots.  Cameron was not all that interested in smiling, but I think you’ll agree he’s so stinking cute that it doesn’t matter!

I mean the lips. The hair. Can’t take it.

I know I sound like a broken record, but as crazy as it sounds, Baby Cameron only continues to become cuter!  I’m not kidding.  Come back Friday to check out his one year shoot in Gloucester.  Little dude will be in boat shoes and a fedora. THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS – not to be missed!
