Ryan + Kirk — Newburyport Engagement – xo, CoCo

These two!! I think all I have to do is let the pictures speak for themselves on this one. Ryan and Kirk are such a joy to be around, they love each other, their dogs, cocktails, food, and laughing. Need I say more?!

We started their engagement at their adorable condo in Newburyport, where Ryan fixed us up some killer cocktails.

Meet Dragon and Bruno, the funniest furballs you’ve ever seen.

I mean…

Their home is FILLED with amazing art, mostly made by Ryan’s grandmother, I can’t wait to meet her!

And then they were standing like this, how cute are they??

Family portrait!

Love. Love. Love.

Gotta vogue a little bit, right?

Gorgeous!

We took a little stroll along the river into town, it was a gorgeous night!

They guided me through the boat yard, just so fun!

One last stop on the water!

Ryan and Kirk, you two fill me with so much joy! It was a pleasure spending the evening with you in the place you call home, thank you for being so wonderful! There’s more on Facebook too!

Meagan + Evan — Omni Providence Wedding – xo, CoCo

You remember these two from their sunrise, that’s right, sunrise engagement shoot right? It feels like forever ago that I first met these two lovebirds so it was so good to see them finally tie the knot! This was one of the most wonderful days I have experienced in a long time. Meagan had obviously meticulosly planned every moment of the day to be special and meaningful and it really showed. From her First Look with her dad to dancing with her new husband late into the night. They added so many personal touches throughout the day to make their guests feel welcome and appreciated, it was such a good vibe, but more of that in the details post! :) For now, enjoy my favorite moments from the day!

I started out with Meagan in her suite as she got ready.

So many lip glosses so little time!

Evan sent Meagan a beautiful personalized locket, so sweet.

The girls looking at Evan’s gift, don’t start crying yet!

Just B-E-A-UTIFUL, this girl.

The wonderful Kris Rae Orlowski started out with the boys, Pop it Evan!

Love love love this boss portrait.

Meagan had an adorably teary First Look with her dad, killing me!

Work it ladies!

Meagan’s parents and god-mother, looking so proud!

I. DO.

Oh, Grandma you are too cute!

I waited back with Meagan…

While Kris waited with Evan.

Kris grabbed this of Evan who could barely get his vows out, every time he started he would start crying again! Their vows were some of the sweetest I’ve heard.

Love this overall from Kris.

Woohoo!

And the double fist pump from Dad!

A Del’s stand was waiting for everyone outside.

Now, be serious, from Kris.

Could these colors be any more fun??

Just a few minutes with the couple in the garden at Roger Williams Park.

Here’s Kris’s view…

…and mine, this girl is too cute!

Thanks for holding the reflector for this Kris!

Then a quick stop for some bridal party shenanigans.

Then it was time to party! Kris grabbed these during intros, get down!

What a day! It was such a pleasure to be a part of it. Thank you Meagan and Evan for having me and Kris along, it was just perfection! Stay tuned for their amazingly colorful details, and see more on Facebook in the meantime!

Sarah + Rob — Minuteman National Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Sarah, Rob and I got together on a gorgeous evening at one of my favorite parks, Minuteman National Park, in Concord. The light was beautiful and these two can not get any cuter. They met while working at the same school and I caught up with them in the middle of their well-deserved Summer break, I was super jealous of Sarah’s summer glow! I hope you enjoy my favorites!

They were good sports and sat in the grass for me, how could I resist?!

Love love that dress!

You guys are killing me!

Thanks for checking these guys out, Rob and Sarah, it was such a pleasure! Check out some more on Facebook!

Laura + Dayna — Beacon Hill Engagement – xo, CoCo

Laura and Dayna and I met up on a wonderful and warm afternoon in the early Summer, I knew these two would be amazing from the start. First of all they have the best story, as told to me by Laura, they used to pass each other on the sidewalk nearly everyday on the way to work, always noticing each other but never speaking of course, though for dramatic effect I imagine at least making some sideways glances :). Some time down the line they both ended up at the Liberty Hotel one evening for drinks, separately, but Laura finally got up the nerve to introduce herself and the rest is history! Naturally, we started out their session at the very place where their relationship started, not to mention one of my favorites hotels in Boston, then strolled past their apartment and through their beautiful Beacon Hill neighborhood. I hope you enjoy my favorites!

The light was beautiful inside Alibi and the place was empty!

In my opinion, every engagement session should start with cocktails!

Killing me with cute, Laura!

Of course we had to use the prison bars!

Love those socks Dayna!

These two are just the right amount of goofy for me :).

Quick costume change and a ride on the escalator before we head out!

Beacon Hill was quiet and the light was gorgeous!

Haha!

Aaaaaand just a little more goof to top it off.

I can’t get enough of these two, Laura and Dayna thank you for such a fabulous evening! Even more on Facebook if you dare!

Kate + Peter — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Man, oh man where do I even start with these two?! Kate and Peter were so much fun to photograph on their rainy yet beautiful wedding day at the Harvard Faculty Club. Kate was glowing, and the two of them were full of smiles and high-fives all day. And if you need more proof of how awesome they are check out their New York Times Vows Video, I’m telling you it’s some serious cute overload.

So I started out with Kate in my favorite room at the Faculty Club, LOVE that wallpaper!

Is it zipped?!

Classic!

My fabulous friend Lara started with Peter just down the hall.

She promptly taught him how to put on a boutonnière, nice job Peter.

So sharp!

Time for the First Look, love this from Lara.

Oh that stair case!

Such beautiful spaces at the Faculty Club, here’s my view:

And Lara’s:

A quick ride to Harvard Memorial Church where we had a fabulous shield from the rain, thanks Peter!

From Lara as well, so cute!

Kate’s parents waiting patiently…

Just breathe.

Kate and her mom were so sweet, both full of tears!

Lara captured this of Peter’s parents, so sweet.

Woohoo!

A few more portraits in this stunning archway.

Time to party!

Lara grabbed this of their very well rehearsed first dance. :)

Kate and her dad were adorable!

And Peter’s parents too! So cute!

What a day guys! SO many smiles and so much laughter with these two goofballs. Thank you Kate and Peter! You are absolutely fabulous! Stay tuned for their details, and check out more in their Facebook album.

Kaitlin + Brent — North End Engagement – xo, CoCo

Ok, get ready for an adorable overload. I met up with Kaitlin and Brent at during one of Kaitlin’s very last weeks in Boston, and therefore very last weeks in her adorable North End apartment. We clicked immediately, had a quick drink together and basically did not stop laughing for the next hour. These guys are just so much fun! But don’t let me tell you, I’ll let you find out for yourself…

Of course we HAD to check out the roof deck!

We went on a little tour of their neighborhood and found this little secret garden in someone’s backyard, shhhh don’t tell…

Brent, you are the perfect amount of goofball.

There were some lovely blooming trees in a park next door.

We then made our way down this fabulous alley…

…on the way to their favorite spot in the North End, Monica’s!

They then treated me to one of the BEST sandwiches I have ever had, how sweet are they? Seriously, if you haven’t been to Monica’s, don’t, I don’t want anyone to know about it… :) Thank you Kaitlin and Brent for being so fun, generous, loving and oh I don’t know AMAZING?! I can’t wait for September!

Check out more of these cuties in their Facebook album.

Irene + Joey — Sudbury Engagement – xo, CoCo

I got together with Irene and Joey on a recent and fabulous Spring day, warmth was just beginning to break through in Boston, and the light was amazing at the Grist Mill at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA. Joey and Irene brought along their adorable puppy, yes that’s right he’s a puppy, Grimm who just added to the cuteness factor. It was so fun to witness how cute they are together, I can’t wait for their wedding in July!

A definite favorite.

Head on over to Facebook if you’d like to see more!

Katie + Keith — Mystic Seaport Winter Wedding – xo, CoCo

We really lucked out for Katie and Keith‘s lovely and intimate winter wedding, it was surprisingly warm and man did we get some fabulous light! These two were total troopers as we led them around the grounds of the gorgeous Mystic Seaport. They had a fabulous time partying with all their RIT friends and loving families, and we were so happy to be there to document it! Enjoy!

Krista was my second shooter for the day and grabbed this as Katie got dressed.

This little guy was cracking me up!

Krista set Keith up for his first look of his bride!

Such a gorgeous spot, huh?!

Krista, the master of the sun flare, grabbed this :).

So cute!

And we’re off! It takes quite a crew to move a bride!

So much anticipation…

After the ceremony, we hung back for some more portraits, Krista caught this as well.

They had very sweet simple details, love those little birds!

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.
