K visits SF

Hi my friends!

It’s been quite a while since we blogged, so sorry for that!

This weekend we thought it might be fun to revive the blog with some photos of K’s recent trip to San Francisco, CA to visit family. Some of our favorite images are from our adventures traveling abroad or visiting family here in the U.S, and we hardly ever share them on our K+O Photo pages.

Here are a few “moody” shots of K’s family & favorite U.S. city. Enjoy!

 

If you’re ever in the SF area visiting and need some recommendations on food or activities, let us know!

Enjoy your weekend, friends.

Baby Nora: 6 Months

There’s nothing we love more than a good Sunday Snuggles session with one of our favorite families to photograph!

Check out some of the highlights from a Sunday morning we spent with the Greenwoods & little miss 6-month-old Nora a few weeks ago.

P.S. We know we’ve been a little MIA on the blog, but we promise to keep up y’all updated in 2017. Starting with this photoshoot, the first of 2017 for K+O!

K+O (in the) Photo! | Destination Wedding | Riviera Maya, Mexico

Guys, it’s been a crazy wedding season for K+O, and we’re not done yet. 2 more weddings, 2 engagements shoots & a few family sessions left to go!

We promise to post lots more blog posts this winter to highlight all our WONDERFUL brides and grooms of 2016, but we have a bit of a different blog post to share with you today.

We just get back from shooting our first ever destination wedding in Mexico! While we were there, O and I spent some time in front of each other’s cameras instead of behind them for a change! We wanted to remember what it’s like to be a little shy or uncomfortable in front of the camera so that we can help our clients get comfy getting their photos taken by pulling from our own personal experiences and insecurities.

Check out some of the shots below, and look out for some website updates soon!

Stay tuned for more blog posts soon (& maybe even some more photos of us!)

Tim + Emily : St. Thomas Destination Wedding

As we reflect back on 2015 & our first full year joining forces behind our lenses, it only makes sense to share a few blog posts highlighting some of our favorite moments of 2015!

Let’s start by looking back on K’s brother’s wedding in St. Thomas in February:

I wasn’t the photographer for the big day, but I simply could not help myself and just had to capture a few moments of my brother Tim & sister-in-law Emily’s big day. Huge shout out to their actual wedding photographer, Elisha Orin of Elisha Orin Photography, whose images are some of the most phenomenal I have ever seen.

My family stayed at the Sand Dollar Estate for the week, which is where the ceremony & reception took place on the big day.

Here are a few shots of Tim & Emily’s wedding day that made it into the family photo album this past year:

After the gals got their hair and make-up done in the “little sand dollar”, it was time for the festivities to begin over t0 the actual Sand Dollar Estate.

After the beach ceremony, it was time for some cocktails & dinner upstairs

I spent most of the rest of the evening enjoying the company of family, friends and the most beautiful backdrop to a wedding I’ve ever seen. Meagan’s Bay is truly a jaw-dropping. To anyone considering a wedding in St. Thomas, I’d be happy to chat about this venue & the area!

After the sun went down and our bellies were full of delicious food & drink, I brought my camera back out to capture just exactly how much fun this group can have on a dance floor, even through a tropical rainstorm!

Thanks, Tim & Emily, for letting me capture a least a few moments of a truly special day. And also thanks for choosing to get married in such a warm and gorgeous place in the worst winter of Boston’s history!

Andrea + Mauricio Wedding

Andrea and Mauricio celebrated their wedding on a beautiful late September day in Wellesley, Massachusetts at the spectacular Wellesley College Club . Every detail from the beautiful floral hairpieces that Andrea and her bridesmaids wore, to the carefully selected photos of their parents and grandparents that lined the reception hall made this day so truly unique and special. We are SO happy that Andrea and Mauricio invited us to capture their day ❤ Cheers to a long, happy life together!

 

 

What’s your dream job?

Once upon a time there lived two identical twin sisters. They were hard-working, incredibly smart, and had a passion for putting together beautiful outfits. They were the best of friends and dreamed of one day owning their own store where girls from all over could shop feminine dresses, flirty tops, and perfectly paired accessories. The twins studied, worked long hours, and never stopped dreaming. At long last their vision became reality and they founded Golden Closet!

Does this sound like a fairy tale? It just so happens to be the reality of Laura and Megan, the faces behind Golden Closet. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these two ladies for a little while and was honored when they asked K+O photo to take photos of the both of them for their website! Here are some of my favorites.

Happy National Proposal Day!

Yes, that’s right friends. It’s a real day. We were surprised to learn of such a thing, too!

In case anyone was wondering, National Proposal Day was made up by a gentleman from Texas whose cousin’s boyfriend took way too long to pop the question. We’re not exactly sure why he decided to make a holiday dedicated to proposals, but we like the reason he chose March 20th! The holiday falls on the first day of spring, the day of the year where both night and day are of equal length (clearly symbolizing compromise in marriage…duh!)

In honor of this fun new holiday we just learned about, we wanted to switch up our normal #tbt posts and bring you a #fbf flashback friday post!

K’s really really really good friends from her days living on the west coast had some friends visiting Boston in October. They flew here all the way from Seattle to spend some quality time on the east coast and….to our soon-to-be bride’s knowledge….get engaged!

We were so excited when K’s friends asked if we would like to creep behind buildings and lamp posts on the Boston Harbor Walk and jump out to photograph the beautiful surprise proposal David planned for Chloe on this trip to New England. Seriously, we were pumped.

Check out this adorable couple and the photos we snapped of them:

Can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since this magical day! Congrats again, Chloe and David! Thanks for letting us capture your amazing proposal on film so we can celebrate the two of you (and this silly holiday of National Proposal Day!)

Until the next proposal,

XoX,

K

P.S. Contact K+O if you have any friends or family plotting a proposal this spring/summer and you want it captured by this Boston photography duo!

#TBT to a Gorgeous Winter Wedding with O! (A few snow storms ago!)

Well hello!!

I am SO excited to share some photos from a simply lovely winter wedding set at the historic Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA! Leading the charge was the very talented Nancy Stanley (check her out here !! ). For a few years now Nancy and I have been working together and I was so honored to second shoot for her on this big day!

AJ & Stephanie tied the knot on February 8th and on that day it was a snowy, winter wonderland.

A bouquet with Calla lilies and white and purple roses

(I am stating the obvious here, but the groom’s face is heart wrenchingly adorable)

Looking out at the snow covered Salem Common

I’ve never been surrounded by two people so in love, and with the most photogenic and hilarious group of family and friends there could be!

There was no shortage of smiles, tears, laughter and joy (pretty much all the good stuff you want at a wedding).

I couldn’t be happier for this beautiful couple! Wishing them a forever of endless love and happiness ❤

With love,

O xo

#TBT to the first ever union of K+O

It’s another Thursday, which means it’s time to reflect on another past shoot for a #TBT! This week, it also means it’s #twinthursday 🙂

While we were trying to decide which photoshoot to throw back this week, we realized quickly that we needed to write this one for one reason in particular. Okay, maybe two.

1. This mother of two absolutely adorable boys is a huge reason we decided to become K+O Photo!

2. Henry and Jack are just too cute not to share.

Thanks KB for bringing us together 3 years ago through our “day jobs” and getting us together to photograph your family for the first time ever as a photography team duo!

Check out how adorable Henry and Jack are together. Seriously, we can’t get enough of them:

Mom & Dad had the most hilarious and precious idea in the history of all holiday card photos. Check it out yourself and you’ll see what we mean!

Beep Beep! Check out the boys’ wheels and how their “6 wheel drive” does in a fake snow storm:

These were our favorites of the whole family!

I guess K+O just had so much fun with the Bucchere family that we must have decided right then and there…we want to do this together all the time! Thanks again to our favorite first clients ever!

Until next Thursday,

K+O

#TBT to K’s first engagement shoot EVER

We’re starting a new Thursday tradition so we can share some of our past photo sessions with you all!

This Thursday we start with a throwback to K’s very first engagement session EVER!

Kelly & Bryan are probably the biggest reason I am where I am today. They were the first to print one of my photographs on canvas and put it on their wall to display. Sure, mom has been printing my photos and displaying them in our house for years, but… CANVAS? I felt like a celebrity or something. I hadn’t even had my first DSLR for more than 24 hours when I took that shot, too! They have recommended me to numerous folks, and last but not least…they took a chance and let me take their engagement photos. I had never done anything like it before, but they believed in me and gave me all the confidence in world!

Check out some of my favorites from my very first engagement session with this adorable soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.! First, we started by strolling along the streets of the charming seaside town of Newburyport.

Before grabbing lunch, we stopped at a cute local ice cream shop to cool down! You can’t tell from how perfect these two look in these photos, but that day was one of the most hot and humid of the whole summer.

Time for a change of scenery…off to beautiful Plum Island for some marshland and sand!

Now for my favorite part of the shoot…the beach! Perfect light, perfect subjects.

I can’t thank these two enough for letting me photograph their love for a full afternoon. Good thing they’re also the most patient and photogenic people I know!

Stay tuned for next week’s #TBT to see some more photos of blasts from the past!

XOX,

K
