Your Love Story is Your Ceremony
For the love of stories
ABOUT KATHY
I grew up loving real cameras and photo albums. I’d arrange all my 4"x6" prints in chronological order and build my shelf of memories, one photo book at a time.
​
When I got married in 2008, recording video became part of capturing our family history. Within our busy family, preserving memories is more important than ever. Realizing our family story began on our wedding day, made me interested in the power of sharing a couple’s origin story in their ceremony.
I’ve said it a million times but this really is the best job I ever had!
​
FUN FACTS:
-
I was born in ’77 which makes me a Star Wars girl but Marvel has definitely won us over in recent years.
-
I say 'hi puppy!' to every dog I meet on the street.
-
My husband and I took ballroom dance lessons well
before we were engaged. We still enjoy busting out our moves in the kitchen just to embarrass our daughter any chance we get. -
My favorite bands continue to be U2, Metallica and
Pink Floyd and I am a HUGE stand up comedy fan.

A Professional & Inclusive Officiant
I am a Justice of the Peace in the state of Connecticut.
I am also a secular minister, ordained by American Marriage Ministries,
an IRS 501c3 certified Church that empowers individuals to perform marriages. I chose this organization because I deeply respect and agree with their major tenets; every couple has the right to marry regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.
​
I support marriage equality for all and happily welcome couples in the LGBTQ community.
​
The benefit to having both qualifications is I can officiate in other states, like New York and Rhode Island. I can officiate in Massachusetts as a Justice of the Peace with a one day permission certificate from the state.
Personally, I was raised Roman Catholic but consider myself more
of a spiritual agnostic as an adult. In creating ceremonies, we'll include whatever level of spirituality suits you best, even none at all. I am comfortable with adding mentions of god, bible readings as well as rituals that suit your faith, culture or personality.
