Last night I got a call from Audra – Saturdays bride. I was saddened to hear that her 80 year old grandfather had passed away Saturday evening after the wedding. Audra had just been telling me how great her grandfather was and how lucky the were to have such a great grandpa. And during the entire reception her grandfather had this cow bell he kept ringing. You see at one wedding he kept dinging the glasses to get the couple to kiss, so during the next family wedding they gave him plastic silverware. Well someone snuck in the cowbell for Audra and Jakes wedding and it was hilarious. I of course just wanted to yell “We need more cowbell!”
So this is to Arnie, who said I was picking on him by taking his photo. I told him I just have a soft spot for grandpa’s.
Your family is saddened by your departure and I feel lucky to have met you for one night and to have had the opportunity to create some images that the family can cherish in your passing.

Alissa - You made me cry. Thank you for capturing this beautiful man for this family. You, as always, have such great vision.
Chris - Thank you for your work this weekend. The photos are wonderful and they capture Grandpa’s smile and heart beautifully. Last night as I edited my own photos I couldn’t wait to see what you had captured. Well done!
I downloaded the family photo for my blog with your tag. If this is not okay please let me know and I will remove it.
