Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding — Welcome Dinner

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

When Lori called me to discuss photographing her destination wedding, I was all ears! Then she told me that in order to do it all, I’d have to accompany them on their 7-day cruise from Boston to Bermuda, I was like YES PLEASE!! Sign me up! It was such a great opportunity to get to know Lori & Damian, and a lot of the friends & family since half of the wedding guests came on the cruise too. What a fun way to get married!

On our first day in port in Bermuda, Lori & Damian had a Welcome Dinner at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. SO COOL! Everyone got entrance to the Zoo as part of the dinner, and had the chance to walk around and check out the wildlife and the views before the party started. The seals were my favorites!

A few portraits with the fishies before dinner… love these!

Dinner & drinks surrounded by tanks of fish on every side – it’s awe-inspiring!

Bonnie + Steve — LaBelle Winery Wedding

Bonnie & Steve’s wedding at the LaBelle Winery in New Hampshire, was SO fun! It was sunny all morning and began threatening rain before the ceremony – but wouldn’t you know it, the rain held off until we finished family portraits outside! And then it POURED! That certainly didn’t stop the party going on inside… these guys enjoyed their reception to the fullest!! Check out some of my favorites from their day…

First Look in a open field in the noonday sun? no problem!

Steve cracks me up! He’s officially my first groom with a Go Pro and a selfie stick! How cute are they together?!

Gotta love a fun bridal party!

Time for the ceremony, and everyone got emotional! I love that even with a First Look that moment coming down the aisle still made Bonnie cry! There’s just nothing quite like it.

Peace out, little man!

So happy!

Reception Time! How much do you LOVE these ladies?!?!

More happy tears!

Tearing up the dance floor!

SUCH a great wedding!! Thank you Bonnie & Steve for having us there to document and enjoy the awesomeness! xoxo

And big thanks to my second shooter for the day, Peter Morse!

Bonnie + Steve — Engagement Portrait Session

I had so much fun walking around Somerville with Bonnie & Steve during their engagement session! It was great to just get to know them both a little better, and enjoy their neighborhood. Engagement sessions are such a fun peek into my clients’ everyday lives – and I think that’s just as fun as being with them on the BIG days!

Home sweet home!

Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014! Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments? Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them? Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do? Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?! It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel

Meanwhile… CoCo was shooting with Joe & the guys over at the Exchange Conference Center

Then it was time for the First Look! Ashley just needed a little liquid courage before we left ;)

Clearly Joe was ready!

Ashley + Joe — Boston Winter Engagement Session

Joe & Ashley live in Chicago, and LOVE black & white photography… so they were already my favorites before we even met each other! When we did finally meet, it was for their wintery Boston engagement session – and they totally lived up to my expectations of awesomeness!

We started out with a drink at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen to get warmed up (both literally, and figuratively)…

OAK Long Bar drinks

Then we went for a little walk around Copley Square, in the cold… but they were able to keep each other both warm, and entertained :)

After we couldn’t feel our fingers and feet anymore, we hopped inside the Boston Public Library to warm up… and I swear, we TRIED to be quiet!

Boston Public Library Engagement - laugher

After we finally realized that they’d eventually kick us out for being so giggly… we went back out into the cold for a walk down Comm Ave!
I love those twinkly white lights!

Love these!

Once it got dark, and even colder, we hopped in to Papa Razzi for more drinks!

122713_D0248-Edit

Love this!

Such a fun engagement session!! See, we don’t need sunshine and green grass to make some beautiful portraits – even in the cold Boston snow, we can have fun together and get some awesome photos!

Can’t wait to share more from Ashley & Joe’s killer wedding in my next post! Stay tuned!
(And if you seriously can’t wait, you can head over to their Facebook album and see it all there!)

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.

Oh hello there Mr. Dapper!

The lawn had our FAVORITE Weeping Beech trees, good spot for a First Look don’t you think? Love this from Krista.

Can’t even handle these two!

Reid Castle Wedding

Krista brought along a couple film cameras to play with, she shot this with her Nikon f100 camera, on Kodak Tri-x 400 35mm film.

Also from Krista, isn’t that lace to die for?!

Light, giggles, snuggles, everything.

From Krista, I mean they didn’t stop laughing!

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!

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

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??

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

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.

Molly + Eli — Summer Engagement Session in Brookline

So, you may have noticed that most of the blog posts lately have been from CoCo… Man, she makes me look like a slacker! ;) Seriously, I’ve been sick almost all winter and haven’t made much time for blogging the last few months. I think it’s high time I get back to it!! What better way to start than with these love birds?!

I met up with Molly & Eli at their home in Brookline on a warm summer evening. We took a walk through their neighborhood to a local park and enjoyed a little time hanging out, climbing trees, and definitely laughing! Check out my favorites from our engagement shoot!

See how cute they are together?!

Gotta love a couple who’s not afraid to climb a tree :)

She thinks he’s crazy, and he loves it

It’s moments after this shot that I stepped into a hole in the ground and totally fell on my face! Don’t worry, I saved the camera though! I am so graceful ;)

Ah! I love the light!

Adorable.

Summer Engagement Portrait Session in Brookline, MA

I had a blast hanging out & laughing with you, Molly & Eli! Come back tomorrow to see my favorites from their gorgeous wedding at the Seaport Hotel! And you can see more of my favorites in their album on Facebook here.
