* WARNING * major fan-boy speak ahead…
now that we are marriage veterans, people are constantly asking us “how do you do it?”
“do what?” - i’ll reply coyly
“keep the love alive after an ENTIRE YEAR!” - miscellaneous person will retort exasperetively ( new word. google it. )
surprisingly, we have no great answers yet. though, we’ve had some really “magical” experiences this past year. while neither of us has gotten a call back for tyra banks’ “next top model” ( yet ) we’ve had the distinct privilege to strut our stuff for our dear friends and other-worldly photographers nate + jaclyn kaiser. if you love photography but a $6000 class in light fall-off theory and the jpg compression algorithm aint yo thang, get into a shootshop.
we’ve been on the “you’re a monkey derek” side of a few of these and we can’t say enough about them. now if only tyra would call me back…
one of the most exciting things over the past few years is astronomical rate at which our families have grown. i had a big family already - multiplying it be husbands, wives, babies, grand-babies, and we’re getting into some crazy old-testament types of genealogies. however, one of my favorites this year was to someone i have no “formal” connection. yes, this year i gained my first brother-in-law-IN-LAW, or is it sister-in-law-BROTHER, we haven’t discussed the details yet.
in any case, kim ( nellie’s sister ) married mr. jeremy howe this past june. they had a beautiful wedding at humbolt park in chicago and asked me to take a few pictures of the two of them. the two of them have a fantastically humorous blog that i would be remised not to tell you about. you can find it here. and now for some howe…
i didn’t take a lot of shots of the wedding. however, i did snap this one of some unexpected guests… the least they could have done was share!
we love you guys and i am so proud to be able to call you my sister-in-law and sister-in-law’s husband ;)
