SUCH a fun dress!
St st st st stunning!!!!
Meanwhile…
Kate’s dad 🙂
We’ve photographed a LOT of weddings in bad weather… but I’m going to have to say that this day was the grossest of the gross. Thickest clouds in the history of mankind. NO sun, rain all day… gray, cold… just plain gross. We were shooting in Gloomtown, USA. When I asked Kate about going outside… she was a bit reluctant…. I promised we’d keep her dry… she said she trusted me… and boy oh boy are we glad she did! I LOVE these photos! 😀 So, off to the first parking garage we could find 😀 These bridesmaids were troopers… you can’t tell, even a little bit, that it was FREEEEEZING!
WACKY BOBBI STRIKES AGAIN!
Kate and Chris got married in November in Evansville (different time zone where the sun sets at 4:30. Because they wanted daylight photos, they chose to see each other before the ceremony. Boy oh boy am I glad they did! Kate, your eyes are the some of the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. You’re so pretty 🙂
Mike’s favorite ❓
…totally worth it!
Gettin’ married time! Chris, your reaction to Kate walking down the aisle was pure perfection! Reminded me of Mike on our wedding day 🙂
such a sweet ceremony…
After they said their I do’s we headed into the awesome theater for a few more photos 😀
Are you KIDDING me?! Favorite, duhtown… ❗
Marriage is the coolest.
Bet you’re wondering why they call him that… Lucky for you, I’m going to tell you 😀 But not until you get to the end-ish of the blog entry. CLIFFHANGER! 😉
We brought our unboxed photobooth with us. I don’t usually blog photos from it but this one’s a little different. Here’s Kate with her grandma… she passed away less than two weeks after this photo was taken. I can’t imagine. Kate and family… sending big hugs your way.

What was the most memorable moment of your day?
kate: definitely the ceremony. It was the most personal and emotional experience of my life.
chris: My most memorable moment had to be when the music started for Kate to walk down the aisle. Once I heard it, I started to lose it. I couldn’t even keep it together until she got to the aisle.
What was your favorite detail?
kate: Just one?? I loved my dress, the photos on the altar, and the handmade birds that we used to decorate the ceremony and reception.
chris: The sweet photographers we ended up with. 😉 HIGH FIVES FRIEND! 😀
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
kate: make sure you (and your husband-to-be) make the important decisions together. In the end, the day is all about the two of you
chris: For grooms, be quiet and do whatever is necessary to make your bride’s day perfect regardless of what it takes.
Funniest memory from your wedding day?
Mark (the officiant) forgetting our rings. I felt horrible for him but I think it made for a special moment when we exchanged rings with our wedding party watching after the ceremony. It also makes for a great story.
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
kate: maybe would have done a rain dance that morning
chris: I can’t think of a single thing that I would change. It was perfect in my eyes.
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
We went to New York and stayed at the Library Hotel. It was amazing!
Saundra… this just might be the the most well composed bride+groom+bobbi+mike shot to date! By the way…While we were able to keep Kate and Chris sheltered from the rain… not so much the case for us. 🙂
BOBBI BRIDES! kate+bobbi+niki. Oh and Niki… thanks for coming down to our level 🙂 (she’s 6′ tall…)
Here’s your answer… THAT’S why they call him that! One of the best doppelgangers I’ve seen!
Me, doin’ my thing. 😀
Yes I’ve lost weight since I’ve bought this suit so yes, I have saggy ass pants. Please… don’t judge me 😉
The sweetest of the sweet.

LOVE THESE! Oh, the bride is SO beautiful, and her hair is amazing. Those two black and white pics of the bride and groom dancing/laughing. Absolute perfection! xoxo.
PS: I have the little gold bolero from anthro too – love it! I wore it this past Saturday and when I put it on I said “If I got married in the winter, I would totally where this over my wedding dress.” Ha!
despite the rain you guys did such an amazing job!
and the grandma picture is so touching – can’t imagine how tough that is for them … my prayers are definitely going out for kate and chris
Once again, the two of you nailed it – not only fabulous, beautiful and heartwarming….but totally fun and totally b+m! And your bride is so insanely pretty……it must be the red hair;) I love em all!
Gotta love a redhead. Gorgeous work as always guys – love the b&w’s
I think all of these are fabulous, but I especially love the first one in the theater and the group shot of the ladies in the garage. Even in the rain you made everything GORGEOUS! Great colors, dress, and SHOES! 🙂
i love love love the theater and her beautiful red hair!
Beautiful! You took that rainy day and created beautiful pictures. Not that I doubted you could. Also I love the texture (I think that is what you call it) of what appears to be the first dance.
Kate, your dress is absolutely beautiful. I also love the invaluable picture with your grandmother, I have tears in my eyes.
Great job b+m
LOVE the theater pics – they are in my top 10 of everything y’all have done – just. awesome. And it’s easy to see where Kate gets her beautiful eyes – what a great pic w/Grandma!
First off: incredible photos as always! Love the parking garage action(always amazing light in them). And love the theater action, as well!
Secondly: I just went back to look at Niki’s wedding to remind myself of which bride she was, and holy canoli! You and Mike both look so different(in a good way). I’m so proud of you and the weight you’ve lost. You motivate me! Air high five!!
LOVED having you in Gloomsville….the photos are fantastic. xoxo Please come back.
And if you need a 3rd shooter…. (teehee). Didn’t know I had “composition”.
Oh I loved these! I love her hair and skin tone— hmm… reminds me of someone else 😉 I also think you guys both have the same eyes! Gorgeous!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DRESS!!! …and the images, you guys are incredible!
these are absolutely beautiful! your favourite is my favourite, too!
another beautiful wedding….in love with these. AND the dress omg so awesome. Great job bobbi, great job mike, again.
This is my favorite Bobbi & Mike wedding of the year. How you pulled through the crappy weather is a true testament of your talents. Very inspiring and a great example to the rest of us to make lemonade when life hands you lemons. You are both my heros – as always. XOXO
A-mazing once again! No way I would’ve known how cold it was outside from those shots. No way. My favs–if I can choose–wacky Bobbi, blue eyes, ALL theater shots & grandma…they’ll cherish that photo. Always. Peace to their entire family.
W O W! bobbi and mike – we can’t begin to thank you enough for being a part of our day. We had horrible circumstances to work with but you guys rocked it out as usual 🙂 Mike – how you managed to get photos at our home that made the blog – very impressed!!! (our home isn’t photogenic) bobbi – you definitely helped me keep it together before walking down the aisle. i was insanely emotional and it helped to know you felt that way on your wedding day too. the picture with Nana – words can’t express how grateful I am. she thought you guys were soo sweet! I love every picture – can’t wait to see the rest. THANK YOU!
OMG that last pic is freakin adorable!! 🙂
Wow. Love all of these. Gorgeous couple and what a sweet capture of her and her grandmother. I’m sure that image means a lot to her considering. You two do an amazing job! Just love looking at your work.
I love these! She is a beautiful bride and the love, well you just feel it. It is funny that you talk about the cold that was this day because it is truly warmth that radiates from these pictures.
Beautiful as always! Being from Tell City, I grew up going to plays at Victory Theater with my mom all the time!
I have the most gorgeous niece in the world–and such a handsome groom! What wonderful pictures and photographers! They worked the entire time! The pictures of nana are priceless! Thank you for the memories.
These are fab! That last one is way to sweet!
Bobbi, the image above your favorite is hot, hot, hot. LOVE it!
Gorgeous wedding! The photos in the theater are amazing!!
my fav is the last one!! Mike! you’re so cute!
First, the bride is absolutely gorgeous!!! Second, your theatre photos are absolutely breathtaking. You totally made me well up with Kate’s grandmother is a priceless gift. Beautifully done!
first: redheads are the best 🙂 second: stunning… I really dig the theater shots a great warm spot to take photos in this cold cold weather!
If I ever get my photography as good as yours and Mike’s, I’ll kiss the ground. WITH tongue.
( Too weird? hahaha.)
The pictures are all stunning…….but why not Kate and Chris make all the pictures awesome.
Respect each other everyday!!!!!!
Love you Barb & Ron
