“It was 20 years ago today”….  Well, almost the exact day, when I shot Karen and Michael’s wedding.
 
We caught up recently and I photographed them and their… 3 kids!   
 
I thought I might share a few “then and now” images with you - although of course I was only 10 years old when I shot the wedding!  ;-)

Full Disclosure: I have NO idea who took this photo, but it doesn’t really matter since it seems almost EVERY wedding photographer takes this VERY shot at every wedding. WHY oh why? Haven’t we seen this enough? And really, who wants to see guys’ ankles? And guys: matching socks? Really? If your wedding photographer suggests this picture, just tell them politely but firmly: NO THANKS, I’d prefer my wedding photos not be interchangeable with every. other. single. wedding out there. Rant over! ;-)

Pretty much the cutest couple ever.  I’m looking forward to shooting the wedding!  © Beth Herzhaft / www.realgoodweddings.com

Never Let You Go 28 April 2009 Buenos Aires, Argentina Marcos and Monica were married for 65 years and, for much of that time, lived in the same apartment in Buenos Aires. In 2007, aged 84, Monica was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Marcos looked after her himself, coping with the emotional and physical stress of being a caregiver. In the later stages of Monica’s illness, Marcos had to feed her, pureeing her meals beforehand as she could not chew. During the last year of her life, Monica was bedridden and Marcos had to change her diapers three times daily and help visiting nurses treat her bedsores – activities that took up most of his day. She could barely recognize him, though cuddles and caresses helped her to connect, even if for a few seconds. But Marcos was determined to care for his wife at home. “Tell me where she is going to be better than here,” he said. “I treat her like a princess, here she has everything.” Monica passed away in July 2011.
