What was the most memorable moment of your day?
rachael: After the first dances, toasts, cake cutting, and the band was just starting to play, we were done with all the mandatory “wedding” activities. Patrick and I sneaked out the back and had a moment to just breathe and take it all in. In that moment, all the anxiety melted away. Oh, and brides, if you think you can hide from Bobbi, you are mistaken… she definately followed us out and we then had an impromptu photo session.
patrick: Learning too late that we were supposed to go straight into our first dance right away. Neither of us knew what was going on when they started playing our song and had to back track through the crowd. We finally realized what was going on and had a good laugh out of it.
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
rachael: Don’t make decisions in your wedding planning based on anything other than what is going to make you enjoy your day.
patrick: Buy your own tux.
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
rachael: not a thing!
patrick: I would have kissed my bride during the ceremony. For some reason the deacon did not lead us into that.
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
GREECE! It was excellent, even if it was a bit longer than anticipated. Patrick got an ear infection and we had to stay there an extra 6 days… DARN.
Thanks for being gorgeous 😀 Much love friends!

The White Chapel is every photographer’s DREAM!
So nice to see a bride wearing her natural curls. Gives me inspiration! And as always, you guys rocked another wedding : )
Gosh, you are so totally amazing. Bobbi, I am super surprised you didn’t mention how Patrick looks A LOT like Joseph Gordon-Levitt! :]
Terrific job as always. I really like that photo against the green wall. And the light in that chapel! It looks like being surrounded by reflectors – such a fantastic opportunity. 🙂
Hey Bobbi & Mikey,
What a beautiful wedding. Rachael has gorgeous eyes. Patrick is a lucky guy. I second your motion on the favorite. Rachael’s mother looks so young. She has dimples just like you, Bobbi. She’s a pretty lady.
Love you both,
Momba

What a beautiful church! And I’m so happy to see a fellow curly-haired girl go with her natural tresses for her wedding day!
Bobbi + Mike. One of my favorite things about following you are the photos you post of each other at the end of each post. I love those little glimpses behind the scenes. You two are definitely a huge inspiration to my fiance and I!
