For those who asked after their engagement session… “Maf” is pronounced “Moff” which is short for “Mafia,” his nickname. His real name is David. 😀 Moving on…
It poured rain right as we arrived. It was raining so hard that it wasn’t safe to get into the trunk of our vehicle to grab the cameras (as rain would have poured into our vehicle soaking our equipment). So, I ran out… camera-less into their house. Mike, assuming that the rain would eventually let up, waited to bring in the camera gear. THIRTY MINUTES LATER, there was still no end in sight for this rain to slow down… so, he took the risk… went into the trunk… and grabbed our cameras. I’d say it was the hardest/longest rain I’ve ever seen…. but… this last weekend in Kokomo beat it 😉 (More on that later).
Here’s one of the groomsmen bringing his tux indoors…
The incredible Krissy V did her makeup (and if you know Krissy… you already knew it was her by the amazingness that are her tattoos). 😀Changing plans with the trolley… as we had to quickly adjust fire on a photo location. Someone joked as I sat her up like this… “you look like you’re getting your real estate portrait taken!” I’d say that’s one hot tamale real estate portrait! My favorites ❗THEN… the rain ended 😀 Clearly… my hilarious jokes never fail… 😉 Mike’s favorite ❓Instead of lighting a unity candle, they chose to braid a rope… it wasn’t until their wedding day that they realized that Maf didn’t know how to braid. 😉 D’OH! MARRIED!
The best man reading over his notes on the way to the reception hall. 🙂 (Hey Brad, just in case you were wondering… it’s in focus. BOOOOOM!)
“SNUGGLE FACE!” 😉 …that was for you Jess. 😀Another favorite ❗Amanda, your “dancing face” is quite similar to my own! 😀

What was the most memorable moment of your day?
amanda: My FAVORITE moment of the whole day was right after the recessional. We had a minute with just the 2 of us and he gave me the tightest hug ever. It was the best!!
maf: Seeing my bride for the first time. Then stepping on her dress 4 different times. And ripping it 4 different times.
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
Hire bobbi and mike! For realsies!

LOVE the “MARRIED” photo and the bride laughing photo – so beautiful and HAPPY! 😀
Haha— “I specialize in this” to the boutonniere pinning. ME TOO. Pretty much at every single wedding.
GREAT images, btw (as ALWAYS!!!). You inspire me, b+m.
Love me some Amanda and Maf!!!!!!!
Ha, the bride’s dancing face is awesome! :)Also that kiss/entrance photo is goooorgeous! love!
GAH! That’s my hometown! And that farm in the first picture is literally less that two minutes from where I live.
No better way to get location/shooting ideas that to look at Bobbi and Mikes pics from your own town! =D
Loooove these pictures — they are just overflowing with happiness. =)
Oh, and upon further investigation, my sister remembers that we were driving past that farm when the flowers were being delivered. {So many hydrangeas were a bit conspicuous.}
Hey, if you’re ever going to be in the area again, I’d love to just sit and watch you shoot the ceremony or something. {Carrying your bags would be even better, but….}
=)
{I’m sorry if I seem a little obsessed, but I was *this close* to Bobbi and Mike!! HA!}
LOVE the pic of Amanda looking at camera while Maf is kissing her! But have to say…. I laughed quite hard at the braiding pic. Robbie and Brad are priceless in that pic! GREAT PICS!!!!
pretty pretty pretty!
The golf carts? Get out! I love it. And the last one encapsulates the way you want to feel on your wedding day. Beautiful job, as always! Thanks for letting me “tag along” through the wondrous internet…
I’m sitting here crying again, I can see the love for each other in their eyes. What a beautiful couple you both are together. I wish you many many years together.
Killin’ it as always! 🙂
Ah… They look so in love. Bobbi, I am going to second your motion in favor of your faves.
Love you,
Momba

I think the snuggle shot is my FAVE but I love the story of how Maf didn’t know how to braid that rope! 😉
