Katie + Brian — Black Rock Country Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, folks. Katie & Brian were married on one of the last days of Fall, when the light was buttery and warm and you could still get away without wearing a coat. It was one of those wonderfully beautiful days where the Bride and Groom’s tireless preparations paid off, everything went to plan, and they just got to have fun and enjoy their day. I mean, it really doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s start with Katie as she got ready with her girls.

I love Katie’s soft and feminine details, they just fit her perfectly!

Sarah + Rob — deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Sarah and Rob had the most beautiful backdrop for their Summer wedding, a gorgeous day at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. Hands down, one of our favorite locations ever. Take a look at their beautiful details, and a few more favorite moments from their day.

The girls dark purple dresses were lovely, and I loved the guys tennis racket ties!

NO climbing.

Such a beautiful setting for a wedding!

Me and Christine Maus, workin it!

DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum Wedding

Sarah and her mom worked hard to try and bring the outdoors in with these beautiful tree centerpieces, birch candle holders, and succulent accents!

Who doesn’t love cookies for the ride home?!

Photographers gotta have fun too!!

Sarah’s cousin wrote them a song and performed it for their first dance, such a sweet personal touch.

A video projection played at the back of the reception space, which doubles as a gallery, Christine shot the cake against the background.

I grabbed the couple’s silhouette against the projection during their first dance.

It was a beautiful and warm Summer evening, perfect for hanging out on the patio!

Sarah + Rob — deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum Wedding – xo, CoCo

Oh, Sarah and Rob, it has been so fun looking through your pictures again, especially on this freezing cold January day! I don’t know if I have ever met two sweeter, funnier, more in love people. From the very start I knew their wedding would be 1) Beautiful, I mean LOOK at that background! 2) Heartfelt and full of their many loving family members, including Rob’s 10 siblings! And most importantly, 3) FUN, these two and their friends kept my second shooter Christine and I laughing, like serious belly laughs, ALL DAY. It really was just the best day, hopefully you can see it too!

I started out with Sarah in the library at the deCordova, as she finished getting ready, notice her smile, you’ll be seeing it A LOT.

Meanwhile my fabulous second shooter Christine Maus got Rob ready for his first look of Sarah up on the rooftop, I loved all the sculptures up there.

Then a walk through the garden for some portraits with a really cool installation in the background. Here’s my view:

And Christine’s:

Watch out folks, we’re off-roading!

I mean, have you seen a happier group of girls?!

These guys, seriously killing me, they were so funny!

Sarah’s insanely cute parents, need I say more…

Just a little crying, nothing to see here!

This walk down to the ceremony was so beautiful.

SUCH a gorgeous spot.

Woohoo!

We snuck away for another minute for some portraits with this Dan Graham piece that I love.

I just LOVE that color!

Meanwhile Sarah’s grandma, on right, was having fun with selfies. :)

And the guests got to peruse the galleries.

Then some more crying…

Rob’s twin brother gave the sweetest speech, he had the whole room in tears!

And now it’s time to party!

Sarah and Rob thank you for such a fabulous day. For having FUN at your wedding, crying when you wanted to, and letting everything else fall into place. You make my job awesome, exciting, and easy. Stay tuned for their details post and check out even more on Facebook!

Meredith + John — Lyman Estate Wedding Details

Meredith and John, when I think about your wedding details I think soft, romantic, and for some reason the word blushing comes to mind. Maybe Meredith was just that perfect blushing bride. Let’s start with her and her dress. Absolutely RADIANT.

Her hair was just so romantic and feminine.

Her dress fit her like a GLOVE.

The boys boutonnieres were such a nice little touch too!

I love the POP of those coral dresses.

SUCCULENTS! Yes! These flowers were stunning.

The chuppa was also gorgeous.

There is one word for the Lyman Estate, stately, inside and out.

Every Summer wedding should have Arnold Palmers!

The reception was pretty much a big house party, people danced like crazy and when they got tired, meandered through all the different rooms of the house.

And we’ll finish with a stunning long exposure of the front facade of the estate, LOVE.

Thanks for taking a look! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We have these wonderful people to thank for it!

Meredith + John — Lyman Estate Wedding

Meredith and John were married on a gorgeous summer’s day at the Lyman Estate in Waltham, MA. This beautiful historic house was the perfect location for their classy and beautifully styled day. The girls wore coral, the guys wore grey and green. This beautiful and gracious couple was just soaking up all the love and support around them all day. It was such a wonderful thing to witness.

So let’s start with Krista and her assistant Marc Beaulieu, they started with Meredith as she got ready in an upstairs room at the Lyman Estate. The rooms are just so perfectly old-time New England.

I started out with John and his boys while they were maxin’ and relaxin’.

Doesn’t he clean up good?!

The couple did a First Look on the staircase.

This is Marc’s view.

This one is mine, love the woodwork in that place!

Krista and I saw this field of wildflowers as we drove up to the house and fell in love with it.

A little behind the scenes action!

Those DRESSES!

Ok ceremony time! Wasn’t the lawn gorgeous?

I LOVE that even though the couple had a First Look, Meredith was still TOTALLY crying as she met John in the aisle. SO SWEET. These next two are mine, and my absolute faves from the day.

Then it was cocktails time on the lawn, with Arnold Palmers for everyone!

They did their toasts outside as well. This one of Meredith’s dad is mine.

Then it was straight inside for some klezmer music from Meredith’s family! It was so fun!

The next two are mine.

Love this of John and his mom!

Then it was all dancing, all the time! That room was packed!

This kid was cracking me up!

One more collective “AAawwwww…” for these two. I think the photos speak for themselves as to how joyous an occasion this was. Thank you both and your wonderful families and friends for letting us be there!

Check out facebook for more and you will NOT want to miss their details post on Friday. Seriously, ya’ll! See you then!
