Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony!  It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!

 In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.

Meagan + Evan — Castle Island Sunrise Engagement – xo, CoCo

Sunrise on Castle Island (Boston) Engagement Session

I know I know, WHAT was I thinking agreeing to a sunrise engagement session? But I mean come on, how could you refuse such a cute couple, and a girl who was so passionate about LIGHT?! (You see, Meagan goes running on Castle Island every morning before work and had fallen in love with the light and the view of her city she gets every morning). This girl is my dream come true! The best part is, in the days leading up to our shoot Meagan’s fiance Evan was trying to look at the weather and see which morning would have the best color, so he tweeted a meteorologist to get his opinion! How sweet is he?! Despite the early hour, this shoot went off without a hitch, the light was gorgeous, Castle Island and the city were still sleeping and we had the run of the place!

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 :)

Brewlywed at Sam Adams Brewery – xo, CoCo

Welcome to Brewlywed everyone! CoCo had the pleasure of photographing the annual release of Sam Adams’s Brewlywed Ale. For the second year in a row, as part of the event, Sam Adams also offers wedding ceremonies (or vow renewals) on the site of the brewery! So cool right?! It was a gorgeous day in June, and people were lined up around the block to get a sip of their delicious beer.

There is something about these two that is just so natural and beautiful. Ian is a farmer by trade and a surfer as well (with a wicked farmer’s tan to boot)! ;) Melanie is a nurse and came to us from a very good friend of Krista’s. It was so fun to hang out with them at their house in “the country” (Woburn, haha) and at Ian’s parent’s house just down the road. A simple, sweet backyard engagement, that’s all you need!
