Jo & John

Jo & John, were a pleasure to work with. Jo was so excited on her wedding day and even her cats were included in the getting ready part. Jo's veil was also a lot of fun for everyone. Here is her story and how she enjoyed her day:

John and I met online.  Our first date we went to a Thai restaurant.  Our second date I had him come to this really terrible play I was in. I played a bitchy wife if the mayor.  He had to sit with my brother and my best friend and afterwards I made him help strike the set. Now we are happily married. Go figure....

     Our wedding was fabulous.  So many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. And with our crowd that is a lot of weddings. In part it was due to being a bit older. We are 62 rather than 20 something. I think we were just more relaxed about it all. In part it was because our two famlies just clicked.  It is a grand time when everyone at the party really likes each other.

     Our amazing venue also contributed to our day's wonder. The Saltwater Grille in South Portland was perfect. The staff treated us like royalty, the food was great and the setting overlooking Portland harbor and skyline could not have been more spectacular. 

   Our flowers were very special. We used a local growers Snell Farms. All our flowers were locally grown. The flower designer Carolyn Snell was very attentive and listened carefully to my wishes. I am an artist so it was very important that the flowers were unique and particular. Carolyn exceeded my expectations.

   Laura Kozlowski did an amazing job documenting our day. I was very paticular that I did not want any traditional formal wedding pictures with everyone posed and stiff. Laura captured exactly the tone and the feeling of our day, the joy we felt and the beauty of our surroundings. She lustened to us from the first meeting to the last where we were putting tigether oyr spectacular album. She is a gifted photographer.
