Christina + Preston — Langham Hotel Boston Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Let’s just start with the dress, because I think we can all agree, it was ah-mazing. This was my view as I walked into Christina’s suite at the Langham the morning of her wedding. I was in love.

So. many. layers.

You can thank my assistant Pam for this one. :)

I LOVE the bodice detail, I’ve never seen anything like it!

I love the classic look of pastels.

Such a stunningly simple cake.

Christina + Preston — Langham Hotel Boston Wedding – xo, CoCo

I mean, have you ever seen a more beautiful couple?? I didn’t think so… From the moment I stepped into Christina’s hotel room the morning of her wedding I knew it was going to be an amazing day. Not only was THE MOST beautiful dress hanging in the window, but the excitedly tense energy in the room was palpable. Not to mention Christina looked regal, ballerina-like and altogether stunning. My second shooter Paul McNerney and I started out with Christina and her girls as they got ready, here’s what we found:

Love this from Paul, isn’t she gorgeous?!

Sometimes it takes an army to get into your dress!

So graceful.

Paul met up with Preston briefly, before the girls came down. I love this, looks like he’s getting a pep-talk.

AH! She is so beautiful!

Dance it out girls!

Going, going….

Love Paul’s shot of Preston’s priceless reaction as Christina came down the aisle.

They were so cute up on the altar, also from Paul.

Only at a greek ceremony can you get behind the couple like this, I love it Paul!

Paul snuck this shot in as well.

Yesss!!

Just the write amount of goofy, these two.

Paul’s view during their first dance.

LOVE Christina’s face!

We stole a little time with the couple to do some more portraits in the fabulous Wyeth room at the Langham, I love this series.

Preston said and I quote, “They should be paying YOU to wear that dress!”

And some crazy dancing to finish off the night!

What a fabulous day, in so many ways! Thank you Christina and Preston for enjoying every moment of your day, and letting us document it! There will be even MORE in the details post on Wednesday y’all, and don’t forget to check out their Facebook album too!

Liz + Dylan — Boston Esplanade Engagement – xo, CoCo

Man, these two make me so happy. They are legit, some of the funniest people I know. I was so excited to get to know them some more, after weeks of hilarious email exchanges. So we met up one gorgeous evening on The Esplanade, took some pictures, hung out in a tree, and saw the biggest yoga class ever. It was glorious!

Dude.

Haha!

Aaaand off with the shoes!

LIZ! You are so beautiful!!

Fave.

Those legs girl!

Beware runners, I will shoot pictures of you! :)

This tree was the best.

Guys, you are killing me.

And one last runner to finish it off…

Dylan and Liz, I mean it, you are the BEST! Thank you for letting me follow you around with my camera and bad jokes! Can’t wait to see you soon! Check out more on Facebook folks.

Marlana + Matt — Arnold Arboretum Engagement – xo, CoCo

Oh my gosh, I’m so excited for this post! Marlana and Matt are just the best. I met Marlana back in the day at RIT, I knew her brother through my best friend, who is now my brother-in-law, I’m sure we met at a terrible party… :) They’re getting married in upstate NY later this year, but wanted to shoot some engagement pictures in Boston, where they call home. So I was so incredibly excited when she reached out to me, and so pumped to meet her fiance Matt (they’ve been together for 10 years!).

We started out at their apartment in Jamaica Plain, and amazingly got their adorable kitty Audrey to stay still for approximately 2.5 seconds.

It was a B-E-A-Utiful night in JP!

I mean…

The light on the pathway was gorgeous!

Quick costume change at home…

Then off to the Arnold Arboretum!

LOVED this grass.

I was DYING with this crawling grapevine.

Absolute FAVE.

Aaaahh!!! Guys, I had so much fun with you, mosquito bites and all! Thank you so much for sharing your love with me, you are beautiful! Check out even more on Facebook y’all!

Katie + Brian — Boston Long Wharf Engagement – xo, CoCo

Katie, Brian and I got together on one of those beautiful misty mornings in Boston, while most of the city was still asleep, and we had the Long Wharf to ourselves, aside from the P-town ferry crowd. :) The area holds a special significance for these two, since that’s where Brian popped the question! (They even showed me the exact spot). So it was super fun to walk around with them through one of their favorites spots in the city. What a fabulous morning!

That’s the spot! So cute!

City boy and country girl. :)

Fave!

Love!

Those eyes girl!

Love love love Katie’s Texas necklace!

Thanks for taking a look at my favorites, and thank you Katie and Brian for being so gosh-darn wonderful! Can’t wait to see you soon! Also, check out more on Facebook!

Elena + Olivier — University of Pennsylvania Engagement – xo, CoCo

Olivier and his beautiful Elena and I met up on the campus of UPenn, where they met, on a beautiful Summer afternoon. They were wearing some fabulously crazy colors, the sun was shining (right when we needed it to!) and the campus was quiet, well except for the occasional scavenger hunters, but more on that later! I had a great time getting to know them and getting a personal tour of UPenn’s gorgeous campus! We started out hiding on these stairs, how great are those colors?!

Love love love those trees!

So sweet… aaaand then we got photo bombed!

Summer Engagement Portrait Session at UPenn in Philadelphia

You know I love a little bit of goofball… :)

Love this building!

Then some very generous security guards let us into the Quad for a few more portraits, it was like Hogwarts in there!

Work it girl!

Haha, you too Olivier!

Beautiful night, beautiful scenery, and two beautiful goofballs, you can’t ask for more! Thank you Elena and Olivier for hanging out with me, it was so much fun! And there’s even more on Facebook y’all!

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!

Aren’t we all suckers for a good pair of sparkly shoes?!

Evan gave Meagan such a beautiful and thoughtful gift, a personalized locket, earrings and box, I think Meagan was stunned.

Wearing her grandmother’s rings.

That’s actually Meagan’s dad waiting on the bridge for their First Look!

Those beautiful bright flowers were amazing!

LOVE those chunky necklaces.

My second shooter Kris grabbed these details at the church.

Oh, Hiiiiiii…

Kris grabbed this of the Del’s stand waiting for everyone outside the church!

Whatcha got there buddy?

We rode the trolley to Roger Williams Park for portraits.

This is Kris’s, love that light!

The tables were named after all the places the couple have travelled to together, such adventurers they are!

The tables were beautiful, and complete with a little treat for everyone.

Love her ombre cake.

And of course a candy bar to top it all off! The sour stuff is my fave. :)

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!
