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.

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!

And check out this adorable outdoor dance floor that the ladies at Chive set up, it was so fun to party under the stars on a warm Summer evening.

Elizabeth & Ryan’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

If you follow my blog, or have been to my website, or if you know me at all, you know that I love to shoot black & white film! My first job in photography was working in an all film studio and while I’ve made the transition to digital, I still think film is the best! It’s gotten wicked expensive, and it definitely has limitations, but it also has character and an archival quality that I love. So, I tend to shoot at least a little bit of film at almost every wedding these days. Just a few rolls splashed in throughout the day. Of course, if any brides out there wants me to shoot a wedding entirely in black & white film – I would love to do it again!! :)

Here are some of my favorite film images from Elizabeth & Ryan‘s wedding…

Taken with my Widelux

The next 2 were taken with my Holga

Do you see why I love it so much?!
