I’m a big fan of Megan. Of course she had SUCH a fantastic group of bridesmaids… not only are they awesome women… but also hot tamales. 😀 WIN WIN! THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING DRESS! 😀 Megan’s mom had her dress replicated into a miniature version…

Mike’s favorite ❓

Men in tuxes are my fave 🙂 OH the perks of being a wedding photographer! 😉

Megan’s grandma got into a pretty bad car accident right before her wedding. Megan took a quick detour right before the ceremony with two of her sisters and surprised her. It made grandma’s  day.

Meet Megan’s dad Joe… he’s an incredible father. Joe, want to add one more daughter to your already amazing collection of them? 🙂

This was taken RIGHT after Megan was walked down the aisle and greeted Matt. 😀 I wonder what they were saying…

WE’RE MARRIED!

I love this. A lot. A whole lot. My favorite ❗

YOU ARE FREAKIN’ GORGEOUS!!!!!

Canvas? YES!!!!!

Here was my favorite part of the day… the father/daughter dance 🙂

Here’s the difference in how Mike shoots the reception and how I shoot one.

Mike’s: flashed, sharp, bright, colorful.

Mine: black and white, grainy, softer, no flash. Now, admittedly… many more of Mike’s turn out than mine do.  However, when I get it… I love them! 😀 If I were a one photographer show… I don’t think I’d be able to shoot like this, I’d have to go for sharp and guaranteed vs. artsy and inconsistent. Luckily for me, I married Mike, I’ll never have to shoot alone. 😀 So this photo… yes, this one’s mine and I love it! 😀

megan+matt

What was the most memorable moment of your day?
megan: Saying my vows staring into Matt’s eyes, he just looked so happy! And the limo ride from the ceremony to the reception!
matt: The most memorable moment of the day was seeing my bride walk down the aisle….never thought I would have gotten choked up, but I secretly did!!!

What was your favorite detail?
megan: My dress (minus the difficult bussel) and the place cards
matt: Meg’s dress (she worked hard on it!!!)

Any advice for future bride/grooms?
megan: Hang out with whoever you want to at the reception… I wish I had hung out w/ my friends more. And hire Bobbi and Mike – having Bobbi there with me all day was like having another fabulous bridesmaid/wedding planner/old friend all in  one plus, Mike’s super cute!
matt: Don’t worry about seating arrangements….people can stand if they need to!!!

Funniest memory from your wedding day?
megan: Matt pointing to everyone else during our first dance.
matt: Oh man, too many…. by far the most fun/funniest/coolest memory was the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG!!!  When everyone broke it down for Sweet Caroline right into Shout, it was just awesome!

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
megan: I would have my Grandma there (she was in the hospital).
matt: Nothing at all…best day of my life!!

Where did you go on your honeymoon?
St Lucia, but not until Thanksgiving…. both of us are getting our Masters (one part-time, the other full) so it was just too much to do them back to back.  Also, needed some serious recovery time!

 

 

Much love friends!

Meet Molly 🙂 She’s been reading our blog for 4-ish years… and she is officially our biggest fan. Seriously. She knew every piece of bbmk trivia I’ve ever EVER mentioned. Ladies and gentlemen… meet the new president of the non-existent bobbi+mike fan club. When I saw there was a mirror while I was taking the bridesmaids photos… I had to get a photo of the three of us 😀

They’re identical twins… and, if you know me, you know I LOVE twins (Molly, you already knew that, didn’t you?!) 😀 So, of COURSE I had to have a photo with them. When we posed for this… they called it a “twin sandwich” to which I responded,  “Actually… it’s a Bobbi sandwich!” I continued to explain, What distinguishes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from any other is what’s on the inside, (the peanut butter and jelly) not the outside… otherwise, all sandwiches would be called ‘bread sandwiches….’ ” They looked at me… enlightened and a little sad… “yes, you’re right… how have we never noticed this!?” No more twin sandwiches 🙁 However, yes yes yes…. there’s nothing wrong with a Bobbi sandwich 😉

I snapped a few quickie portraits just a few days ago for use on her birth announcement… thought I’d share 🙂 August’s first (of way too many, I’m warning you now…) official photo session. 😀

this one’s my fave 🙂

We were all done with photos, Ryan was holding her… still diaperless… when, you guessed it, she peed… ALLLL over her daddy. 😀 He held her out and she finished her business. Momma thought she deserved a high five for her “pee all over daddy” move, so she came over and gave her kisses. I clicked. 🙂 Andrea & August, you’re gorgeous.

THEN I look over to see THIS happening right behind us. CLICK CLICK CLICK!

….and then my heart melted into one zillion pieces…

Much love friends,

August’s OH SO proud godparents… Mike & Bobbi. 🙂

Kate is one in a million… absolutely one of the most genuine/sweetest women I’ve ever ever met… I 100% adore her, BFF style 🙂 So here it is Kate… your wedding day! 😀

Kate, your hair is absolutely gorgeous!

These were taken in Northern Indiana… on a freakishly cold/dreary/rainy October day… as in… FREEEEZING… I told the girls to bundle up tiiiiight 😉 Let me just say, not for one milisecond did Kate complain about ANYthing! Most brides would be totally bummed about the weather… not Kate… nothing could have broken her smile that day.

…meanwhile…

Hello Derek Jeter. 🙂

Right before Kate walked down the aisle… her dad decided to check her pulse 🙂 Brian, Kate’s dad, is one of my favorite dads I’ve met. He’s great fun… and love love LOVES his girls! 🙂

My view…

…Mike’s. He wins!

The photo two up from here (with the blue sky) was taken within 10 minutes of the photo below. HOW DOES THEY SKY DOOOO THAT?!

OHHHH HOW I LOVE THIS! Because it was so cold outside, we utilized this little train station waiting thing. I’m sure it has a better name than that.

In between the ceremony and reception, there was a lot of extra time… so, Kate and Eric hosted many of their friends and family at their house where they relaxed, watched football and drank beer. 🙂 In the midst of all of that, someone decided to play “Sink The Biz.” If you’re an IU alum… you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about, right?! For those who aren’t… I’ll explain 🙂

The game requires at least a bucket, a floatable glass, at least three players and beer. The bucket is filled with a pitcher of beer and a glass is placed in that beer. Each person has a beer, which they pour into the floating glass until it sinks. A good, proper pour requires a steady hand, which doesn’t last long as each person becomes more and more intoxicated. 🙂 The one who sinks the glass must remove the glass from the bucket and drink the beer in it. BADABOOM BADABING!

BLINNNNNNNG!

Such a fun reception!!!

The night was done… our gear was put away, we were saying goodbyes… when we heard grunting. HUH?! We glanced back and saw THIS! A pushup competition! Strike that… a pushup competition while intoxicated. So yes yes yes… Mike unpacked a camera nd took a photo… how could we resist?! Oh, and for those paying attention… yes, that’s Erik 😀

ANNNNND… me with my brides 😀 Well, kinda 😀 Kristin, on the right, was the first to get married and wanted us to be her photographer…. but, we were already booked 🙁 She has been in all of these girls weddings and when we’d take the official “Bobbi bride” photo at the end of the night… it just never felt right leaving Kristin out.. but a technicality is a technicality! 😉 However, after much consideration… I made an exception! From left to right, Angie, Nicole, hot tamale, Kate and introducing the ONE & ONLY honorary Bobbi bride… Kristin! 

Nicole and Kristin are sisters… actually, they’re triplets… how cool is that?! Anyway… towards the end of the night they realized that this was our last hoorah… as the group is now all officially married. So, they came up with a GENIUS idea! To befriend our brides and be their bridesmaids 😀 GENIUS! 😀  OHHHH how I love you two!  I can 100% back them up… there are few bridesmaids who are as amazing at BEING a bridesmaid.  So, future Bobbi brides… NEED BRIDESMAIDS?! 😀

Thanks for everything Kate & Eric… 😀 😀 😀

MUCH LOVE!

Yes, sometimes I look like a mean pirate standing on the deck who’s just spotted a treasure chest… but only sometimes. PS. I swear I’m not this mean… it just appears so in this photo 🙂

See these skills?! I had to get as low as I could to take the blue sky photo as there were lots of houses behind them… so, to crop them out, I had to go lowwwwww.  My butt never touched the wet ground. That’s two years of working out betties…. BOOOYAH! 😉
