I know with a title like that you may be wondering what this post is even going to be about and why am I posting it on Valentines Day. Well a week ago I had the pleasure of shooting a Celebration of Life party for Marylou Kenrick. Marylou was 68 years old and for the past 2 years she had been courageously battling cancer. I was lucky enough to be with her friends and family as they gathered in Stillwater, MN to celebrate the wonderful life she had lead. The day was filled with tears of joy and pain alike, and though it was clear the Mary Lou only had so much time left, it was apparent the impact that she made on everyone’s life. 4 Days ago around midnight Marylou took her final breathe with her family by her side, so this is for you Marylou, we all love you
When I first was presented with an opportunity to shoot for Rivets and Roses I was both excited and a bit nervous. I had never seen myself as a wedding photographer and frankly was not exactly interested in it. I got my start as a photographer shooting concerts in the Minneapolis area and from there with my background in design began working with musicians on album design/photography, promotional material, etc and that is something I will always do, but I yearned for more. I truly enjoy documenting the events of the night at a said concert but to me there wasn’t enough substance or emotion. I always left satisfied but I felt I was in need of documenting something with a bit more depth.
