Congratulations Kathleen and Vince - 6/21/08

Kathleen and Vince were married on June 21st at Christ Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Manchester, MO. Maria and I had never photographed a wedding at Prince of Peace before and it was a beautiful ceremony. There were LOTS of little kids at this wedding -- which photographers just love for the many photo ops -- but Maria and I especially love it when there are plenty of children involved (since we have three of our own!). Congratulations Vince and Kathleen -- thank you for choosing us to document your wedding day.

After the formal pictures in the church, the wedding party chose a really neat out-of-the-way little park for their pictures. We had a lot of fun shooting pictures at this park.

These two cute little kids are brother and sister -- and they were a LOT of fun. The little flower girl -- Mary -- was my buddy all day long. We figured out that we have the SAME BIRTHDAY -- how fun is that??? :)

Following pictures in the park, Kathleen and Vince treated the entire wedding party to ice cream at Fritz's. Mmm-mmmm good!

Vince had a little surprise for Kathleen at the reception -- he stood up before the roomful of guests and announced he had a little Haiku for Kathleen...only this was a ruse. He actually sang her a song. It was cool...very cool. In 20 years of shooting weddings...this was a first for me to see a groom sing to the bride at the reception.

Here are my little friends again -- they sang "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. Yes, they really did sing the entire song.
