MEGANNNNNN ANNNNND GEEEEEEENE!!!! I’ve been insanely excited to share this epic wedding with you all! I don’t use the word epic lightly so ummm that’s my way of saying  buckle up for this one folks! 😀

Megan was such a beautiful bride.

….because…. CHAMPAGNE!

Gene looking so dapper.

THAT DRESS?!?! AYFKM??!?! No really, ARRRRRE YOU KIDDING ME??!!?

Gene’s dad (to the right of Gene) was his best man.

…..deeeeep breaths…..

I always love this scene: the bridesmaids’ first look of the bride.

They. Can’t. Even.

I don’t want to keep talking about how insanely beautiful she is but I can’t resist it. Not only is she beautiful she’s an amazing person all around. I’m truly the luckiest to have met her.

I love marriage. I really really do.

This was surprisingly the first wedding I had ever shot at Trader’s Point Creamery and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint!

I’m not sure if I’ve ever taken a better dad-giving-his-daughter-away photo. I’m racking my brain and no, no, I haven’t. If this doesn’t unlock a special little place in your heart then I’m afraid to break it to you that you may be dead inside.

Being a short photographer definitely has it’s drawbacks, but it also has a few benefits too. In the photo below you may notice that I’m standing up with the wedding party (kind of a signature Bobbi move), but behind them so I’m not really noticeable.

These florals were incredible!

PERFECTION!

When the rainbow appeared I may have lost my shiz. Ummm, I let me be honest… I definitely lost my shiz!

When I saw Megan’s long-sleeved wedding dress and combined that with my knowledge of the forecast for the evening (rain followed by unseasonable heat in a non-air-conditioned reception venue) I pulled Megan aside and said, “Do you happen to have your bachelorette party dress or your rehearsal dinner dress here? If so, let’s bring it jussssst in case you get too hot.” BADABOOM BADABING! All brides should do this because well… you never know!

Have I mentioned that this wedding was epic?! Oh, I did? Okay, I’ll stop.

Megan and Gene, from the bottom of my heart; thank you for including us in your day.

Much love friends!

How beautiful is this couple?!

It rained allllll day when right before the session the sun came out! It made for a very humid session but nonetheless, beautiful!

I think I’ve photographed people in front of this wall one million times (give or take) and I love it every time!

As I mentioned before it had been raining all day, which made everything very wet… but gave us a very cool steamy / fog effect.

Olivia, you look so beautiful in this dress!

MegMoney and I love playing the doppelgänger game and we’ve concluded that Taylor looks like Bradley Cooper.

Crystal did her makeup that day and I’ve gotta say that getting your makeup done before a session makes you feel so much more beautiful and confident in front of the camera; highly recommend!

I love me some Emily. After scrolling through this blog post you will too, I guarantee it!  Emily is one of the most laid-back and sweetest brides I’ve ever photographed.

I have a general life rule: when you have a nice thought, share it, otherwise it goes to waste!  I think that Emily has the same life rule… she loves her people big and tells them as often as she can.

She got ready in her childhood bedroom where Emily’s momma zipped her into her dress.

Some quickie bridal portraits on the side of the house.

I try to incorporate the momma’s as much as they’ll let me. 😉 That’s one of the difference between 23-year-old-wedding-photographer Bobbi and 37-year-old-wedding-photographer Bobbi: understanding the importance of our families.

My non-photographer friends look at this and say, “what a beautiful church with so much color!” My fellow photographers look at this image and think, “that church, while beautiful, is a white balancing challenge!”

….well that was my thought at least. 😉 The solution: embrace it! I pride myself in consistent skin tones… but in a situation like this, when skin tones are lit by very colorful lights, we just make it look exactly like the way it looked in person. 😀

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Bryan, how much you adore your bride is how every groom should be on their wedding day!

Her dress is a classic and perfectly Emily. Very Audrey Hepburn!

I love me a man in a suit! HOW HANDSOME ARE THESE GROOMSMEN!??!!? I’ll answer that for you: SO DAMN HANDSOME!

Megan and I shoot a lot of weddings on the road in places we’ve never been before; so we always location scout the day before. We were proud of what we found!

Soooo….. there were a lot of people on this beach when we got there to photograph the wedding party…. and…. ummm…. well…. I cleared it out. #noshame Though, I assure you did it with respect and kindness. 😉

DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE ME SOME EMILY?! BECAUSE I DOOOO!!!!

Much love friends!
