In Memory of Jackie’s Grandfather who recently passed. Because he got his moves on, dancing with the young ladies and his lady this night all night….


“Where?” You ask??? Latitude 41 at Mystic Seaport. I mean, nothing makes a New England summer day more New England, than a place like Mystic Seaport. On the water, big ships and lots of fun! Not to mention latitude 41 and Coastal Gourmet is always on point and doing what they can to make it great!

Before jumping ahead of myself… Let’s chat about how they met. And it seems like things are making more and more sense. Like Heath getting caught trying to sneak Jack and Cokes into the venue. He obviously likes to see what corners he can get around… As they say here, with “dipping the pen in company ink.” (I’m going to leave all the other comments in my head out of this)… “We met while we both worked for a large banking institution in NYC.
Clearly didn’t follow that whole dipping the pen in company ink, because we not only worked for the same company, but actually worked for the same group. We spent most days trying to avoid contact at the actual office, and dodging coworkers on our commute home. We used to get a lot of laughs out of our commutes.”..

So that brings us to their wedding day, where Jackie wasn’t nervous till I showed up. Which was funny since I heard they were just gonna be drinking Champagne and waiting for me to get there. Which, if you read her wedding day confession, is pretty much what it was. “I wasn’t super antsy or nervous until Tim showed up. When he got there, I knew that it was time to get into the dress and get the show on the road. Up until that point, my girls and I were just enjoying our time together in the suite being pampered. He got there and it all of a sudden got super real that the ceremony was going to start!”

Anything they wanted to share about their day – “In general, my advice would be to find the vendors that you not only like their work, but you also like their personality. I think what made our day run so smoothly was I knew my vendors totally got us, and our vision for the day. I never once felt like I was bothering them when calling in regards to what I deemed stupid questions or concerns. They answered timely and walked me through each step of the process, and I think a lot of that was because they were passionate about what they did, but also passionate about OUR day being their focus at that moment on the phone/email/etc.”

And well, that’s that. Other than what they shared about their photographer, because I’m obviously going to share that… Their thoughts: “Passion and personality. You spend a hell of a lot of time with your photographer – between engagement pics and the wedding day, we did not want someone who didn’t click with us. I’d seen it at past weddings I was in or attended, where the couple and the photographer just didn’t mesh. To me, it showed in the pics. Also passion for what they do. Anyone can take a photo, but it takes someone who has passion for photography to really think outside the box for photo ideas, and go the extra mile (laying on the grass etc) to get that pic.”
I guess now we can move on to their pics. Huh???
