Rachel + Jon — Hawthorne Hotel Wedding – xo, CoCo

I’m so excited to interrupt the schedule of better-late-than-never posts to bring you the lovely Rachel and Jon, my FIRST wedding as an Associate for Krista Photography! Wahoo!

Rachel and Jon are good friends of Krista’s so I was simultaneously super nervous and truly honored and excited to document their love! These two are complete sweethearts, fun-loving, gracious and all together wonderful. They were married on an otherwise gloomy January day at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA. Rachel and Jon and their entire bridal party were such troopers! They braved the cold for their First Look and for some portraits and I was SO grateful, even though it was seriously GRAY out there! Thanks a lot New England :)

OK, here’s Rachel, isn’t she so cute?!

Rachel’s gorgeous dress! It was perfect for her!

Allana Taranto joined Krista and I, and hung out with me long enough to shoot some AWESOME ring shots for me :)

Amanda, one of Rachel’s bridesmaids, isn’t she killer?!

Love these two from Krista as Rachel got into her dress.

Everyone needs adoring bridesmaids like this :)

Allana ran and met up with Jon as he got ready as well.

Krista followed behind Rachel on her way to her First Look with her groom!

Allana stayed back to grab this.

Cuties!

Champions!

Watching the flower girls… LOVE!

The next few are form Allana, she circled around while I stayed in the aisle.

Here’s my view.

SO glad we had these two hang out by this cool wall! This is Krista’s.

And mine.

Making it “official!”

This is seriously my favorite… haha!

Allana’s…

Krista stayed back a bit during the toasts, I love seeing the Christmas lights outside!

Allana got this nice moment…

Aaaaannnnd seconds later I got this! YES.

Time to get DOWN! (Allana’s as well).

This girl was so amazing!

And one last portrait I snuck in before we were done for the night…I mean COME ON.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Rachel and Jon, and all your wonderful friends and family. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other at PLENTY of other weddings :)

Location and Catering: Hawthorne Hotel

Rachel + Jon — Lynch Park Engagment – xo, CoCo

Horray!! It’s finally time to post my first official couple as an Associate for Krista Photography! Much more of these to come in 2013, but for now feast your eyes on the adorable Rachel and Jon!

After talking to Rachel about how her and Jon got engaged after hopping a fence at Lynch Park to sit on “their rock” over looking the ocean and Beverly Harbor, I knew we had to shoot there. I love going somewhere that has a real significance to the couple, and it didn’t hurt that Lynch Park is a super versatile space, with tons of cute little spots for these two to snuggle. I had seen these two at a couple of Krista’s weddings, as they are good friends of Krista’s, but we had never really met. So we had a really great time goofing around and getting to know each other a bit.We met up on a particularly gorgeous Fall evening, ran around, talked, laughed, ya know all that good stuff :)

FAVE!

Rachel has the BEST laugh!

This is at least *close* to “their rock” :)

HAHA!

I can’t get enough of these snuggles!

Thank you both for letting me photograph your joy and love! You both were so much fun, it was really great running around with you that day!

Come back Wednesday for their Salem wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel! (And of course, check out Facebook for more)

XOXO!

Christine + Vu — Exchange Conference Center Wedding

Christine and Vu started their day off at the Renaissance Waterfront in Boston, where they were both surrounded by their family and MANY groomsmen and bridesmaids. It made for a super fun atmosphere. The girls were primped, the guys got pizza, typical right??

Let’s start off with a shot from Krista’s Widelux, shot on Tri-X 35mm/ISO 400

THAT VEIL. Just stunning.

Krista was joined by the lovely Erin Chapman, who hung out with the dudes as they prepped.

HAHA! Yes he is wearing his suit bag over his clothes.

Again. THAT VEIL.

Then over to St. Cecilia’s for their gorgeous ceremony!

Love this moment from Erin.

Krista’s assistant Casey Atkins grabbed this from the balcony, so fun!

So pretty!

Making it “official” on FB… :)

This was shot on Krista’s Holga, with Kodak Tri-X 120mm film.

Christine did a quick hair change before the reception, which for all you ladies getting married in the Summer, this was SUCH a good idea on such a hot and humid day! Who doesn’t want to look their best ALL day??

Love this angle on the first dance!

You may recognize this lovely lady from our Christmas card this year! WE LOVE HER.

A creative use of their Scrabble details (more on that Friday)!

However hot it was that day it was all totally worth it! What a love fest this was! Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!!

And we’ll se you all Friday for their creative and cute Scrabble details! DON’T miss it! And check Facebook in the meantime :)

Lillie + Colin — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding

Lillie and Colin were married at the Harvard Faculty Club in Harvard Square, which is such a beautiful old building with so much character. The weather was fine, the celebration was joyous, the bride was perfectly nervous (and gorgeous), what more could you ask for?!

Krista and I started with the bride in a beautiful room upstairs at the Faculty Club, the wallpaper is amazing in there!

This is mine of one of Lillie’s beautiful bridesmaids.

Dream team member Allana Taranto started out with Colin and his guys down the hall. :)

Lillie was featured on the TLC’s I Found the Gown for her stunning dress.

Oh, moms! You are so cute!!

Colin waited at the bottom of these gorgeous stairs to see his bride!

I grabbed this as Lillie made her way down.

The next two are from Allana.

We then snuck away for some portraits, here’s Allana’s view.

And Krista’s.

The grounds of the Faculty Club are magical, something beautiful around every corner and at every angle!

The bridal party was waiting around the corner! Creepers :)

Don’t they look great?!

Then it was off to the Ketubah signing and Bedekken!

A little pre-ceremony prep. :)

This is mine from the front of the aisle.

Oh, Dad!

Wait. We’re married?!

Allana grabbed this as the Bride and Groom were introduced.

There were about a dozen toasts at the reception. Seriously. But honestly, it was kind of amazing. The Bride and Groom introduced each speaker, and it was so touching to hear the different things everyone had to say about the happy couple.

This is mine from my favorite toast of the night.

Then Lillie’s dad brought the house down!

I grabbed this during their super sweet choreographed first dance.

The next two are Allana’s of the Hora!

This one is mine.

And mine as well.

Well that’s all folks! What a lovely day it was! Thank you Lillie and Colin for being so fantastic and letting us capture this day for you! It was such a pleasure.

Everyone check back on Friday for their classy details! And read even more about the wedding on Lillie’s blog!

Lillie + Colin — Boston Public Gardens Engagement

Krista met up with Lillie and Colin at the Boston Public Gardens, on the “world’s smallest suspension bridge” where they got engaged, which you can read more about on Lillie’s blog! These two were super funny and it was such a pleasure spending the afternoon running around Boston with them. They even made it down to my favorite neighborhood in Boston, Bay Village, where the couple lives, which is also home to my favorite breakfast place of ALL TIME, Mike and Patty’s. Mmmmmmm….

Ok, enough about breakfast, onto the lovebirds!

You know we love a girl with curly hair!

Sweet moves!

Now, off to Bay Village, the cutest little neighborhood ever!

Goofballs!

My fave!

Quick costume change! I love a girl in a bright and poppy color!

These two work together from home a lot, so Krista went up to Lillie and Colin’s apartment for a second and captured them in their element, these are some of my favorite images from the day!

Now get over to facebook to see more, and come back Wednesday for their Harvard Faculty Club wedding!

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!

Meredith + John — Concord Engagement Session

Alright everybody it’s time to train your eyes on the adorable Meredith and John for the week. Krista met up with these two cuties in downtown Concord and around the Old North Bridge in Minuteman National Park. Man, Minuteman, you are worth your weight in gold! We love that place!

I am completely in love with Meredith’s super bright and classy skimmer pants, funky chunky shoes and preppy jacket and accessories. PLUS she has gorgeous curly hair, which I WISH I had, and Krista is the master of (but that’s another blog post… coming soon).

Ok, onto Meredith and John, starting of in downtown Concord, on a lovely Summer evening.

This girl had it ALL together, love the pop of her red toes!

So serious…

Ooooor not.

CUTIE!

Then for a quick costume change and onto Old North Bridge!

LOVE that tree!

Can we all just say a collective “Aawwwwwww…” Love these two! And just WAIT for Wednesday and their gorgeous Lyman Estate wedding. Thank you both for letting Krista run around with you and capture your love!

Linan + Steven — Hyatt Harborside Wedding

Linan & Steven got married at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston on a lovely but windy day – isn’t it always windy down there? So many friends and family came in from all over the world for this wedding, and everyone was clearly thrilled to be there! Even though most of the day everyone was speaking Mandarin, Krista and her Shooting Assistant Peter Morse had a really great time! Sometimes a camera is the only language you need! Shout out to Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings for helping to translate throughout the day, you were a huge help!

As you saw in their engagement, this girl knows how to choose shoes, her wedding shoes were no exception! The wonderful Peter Morse hung out with Krista for the day and grabbed this.

Linan looked absolutely flawless.

Steven, the most cheerful groom ever, also from Peter.

It sure was windy ya’ll!

Practicing the first dance! Always a good idea :)

Krista had a little competition for the day, haha!

Super sweet flower girl!

Another from Peter.

Absolutely LOVE that necklace.

Peter grabbed this detail of the stunning tables. I just love how clean and simple they are!

The RED is so striking.

They did a really beautifully choreographed dance, here’s Krista’s view:

And Peter’s:

Someone was a wee bit curious about the cake!

The Linan and Steven and their parents a had a little company on the dance floor!

Some guests really wanted a picture with Peter!! Haha you were a hit buddy :)

And the cap it off, Krista set up her tripod at the end of the night for this awesome long exposure of the city.
