Amy and Amin, June 3 2006
Ceremony: St Hedwig's Parish, Milwaukee WI
Reception: The Town Club, Fox Point, WI.
Two brides. Getting married. Within two weeks of each other. At the same church. Both live in Illinois but are from the Milwaukee area. Both have THE SAME LAST NAME, and not a common last name! But are not related. Both hire me.
Are you confused? I was!! And both Amy and Melissa were so sweet to me when they called or emailed making sure I knew which one they were. It was really comical. I mean, I can hardly keep my kid's name's straight!
And so my challenge for this wedding as a photographer was this: Going into a church I was just in. How do I make images that are different from the ones I produced just two weeks ago? I mean, it's the same church...the same basic Catholic ceremony....until I got there. And as soon as I started photographing Amy and her bridesmaids getting ready it was not a concern. I think that is what is so cool about weddings, they are all so different. I would not matter if I photographed in the same church 6 times per year, the feeling, the vibe, the people.... You just can't replicate that.
Even if you do have the same last name :)
And, FYI, Amy and Amin met in kindergarten. Check out their unbelievably cute school pictures in their slideshow.
Congratulations!
