Kalyn and Vince
June 2, 2007
Wedding: St Pius X Parish, Wauwatosa
Reception: The Historic Astor Hotel, Milwaukee
I was trying to figure out how old Kalyn was when I first met her, and as near as I can figure she was about 10. She is the youngest child of the woman who was both of my boy's first daycare teacher. And from time to time Kalyn would come into the daycare center and play with the kids, going on to babysit some of them. And about 5...or was it 6? years ago I photographed Kalyn's brother's wedding. So when I got a call from her mom that Kalyn was getting married I had one of "those" moments. Kalyn? Wasn't she like 12? Uh, no, check it Kim, your oldest is 14, so no....Kalyn could not be 12. And Kalyn came to meet with me and she was this beautiful, poised young woman and Vince? Vince ain't nothing but a whole lot of fun, with a teddy bear lining. This, combined with the fact that I got to shoot at my home parish with the most awesome Father Bob Marsicek was a real treat.
And to my favorite bridesmaid, and you know who you are, if you you watch Kalyn and Vince's slide show and still think that the hands over the bouquet and the bride being held sideways is a "must have" photo...well, then I give up. But you are still a hell of a lot of fun, and let me give you some names of some photographers that will show up to your wedding in a powder blue tux and make you peek around the tree with the bouquets on your train while your mother weeps in silhouette in the back round.
Big hugs and congratulations!
