Elena + Olivier — Winchester Backyard Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Rainy Backyard Tent Wedding near Boston

Yay it’s time for Elena and Olivier’s beautiful and romantic details from their chic backyard wedding! These two were married at Olivier’s parents’ house, where much preparation was put into having the ceremony outside, but mother nature had other plans… Nevertheless these two had a fabulous day, and I don’t think they would have had it any other way!

Lots of work went into making this ceremony site beautiful, my second shooter for the day Allana documented while it was still dry. :)

Stephanie + Marc — Maine Backyard Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Artsy backyard Maine wedding

It was so difficult to pick my favorites of Stephanie and Marc’s artsy, beautiful, and unique DIY details. The bride and groom were married in Stephanie’s parents’ backyard in  Maine that could easily be mistaken for a sculpture park, there is art everywhere! Krista and I had an amazing day with these two, not to mention their amazingly gracious friends and family. Take a look for yourself, how could I choose?!

The barn is just a short walk own from the main house, inside Stephanie draped colorful fabric from the ceiling. It created such a cool atmosphere.

Stephanie’s mom made pine and herb sachets for each guest, so simple but so wonderful, and of course, they smell just like Maine.
