Her engagement ring… my favorite. 🙂 If I were to get mine reset… I'd make it just like hers. BTW, can you guess what I shot this on?
Christine, you're cute!
meanwhile…
I don't fullllly remember the story… but I do remember that Christine calls him Wolf… so, as her gift to him, wolf cufflinks. I'm telling you… two thoughtful brides in a row giving the perfect cufflinks… I see a 2010 trend! 🙂
You would think that with all of the shoe photos I show on this blog that I was a "shoe person"! hmmm… not the case 🙂 I wear ugly, yet comfortable shoes. 😀 Our brides, however…. have AMAZING taste in shoes!!!! And I DO love photographing amazing shoes… so, maybe I AM in fact a shoe person… just not in the traditional sense 😀
Dan's funny 🙂
Such a cool photo!
CHEEEERS!
CHRISTINE?! AYKM WITH YOUR BEAUTY?!??! SO gorgeous!!!!
😀
This wedding party = INCREDIBLE!!!
I was probably saying something incredibly inappropriate. 🙂 It's a specialty of mine. 😀
❗ + ❓ WOWWWWWW TO ST. LOUIS!!!!! One of our FAVORITE photos of ALLLLL time!!!!!! ❗ + ❓
bring it in TIGHT!
Christine put lots of energy into her details… and it showed! I'm a fan 🙂
Their "guestbook"
Dad's speech 🙂
OH how I love the first dance!
We had a little competition!
AHHHHHH!
$10 iTunes gift card to the first person who guesses the song they're singing to… (if you were there, you're ineligible… DUH!)
UPDATE: contest over… It seems that it was guessed pretty early! Sorry I'm getting to this a bit late as I worked out this morning and am JUST NOW sitting down at my computer. Seriously… after only FOUR comments someone guessed?!?! I need to make these contests more difficult! The answer: Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" So… congrats to Jessica Webb! There were also at least two others who guessed right, also… so big high fives to you!
ST. LOUIS, Mo.
The people who made this day happen:
Day of Coordinator: Stephanie Burke & Brit Tucker
Hair and Makeup: Holly Speakes – Procolour Cosmetics
Church: Mary Mother of the Church
Florist: Lesher's Flowers
Reception Venue: The City Museum
DJ: Tom Rotter, Block Rockin' Beats
Cake: The Cakery
Etsy: 15 different Etsy vendors contributed to make our day amazing, from our invites to the bridesmaids' individual jewelry items to our rusted table numbers. My favorite item, however, was my capelet shrug bolero by Madelin Zero
I emailed Christine a series of questions… told her she could pick out whichever ones she wanted to answer 😀
Favorite moment of the day?
Christine: After the recessional, we went straight into the cry room and someone (maybe our coordinator?) shut the door so it was just us and Bobbi.
Dan: I actually thought we were going straight back out to the bus, so I didn't know what was going on
Christine: …it was just us, alone, for a few minutes for the first time in days.
Dan: And it was a perfect first moment together as husband
and wife.
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
Christine: Hire the following: a Day of Coordinator and bobbi+mike
Dan: Something my groomsman Ben passed on to me – take a break and put yourself in the moment as much as you can – you've never experienced a day that fast in your life
Funniest memory from your wedding day?
Christine: This clip being played right before he played the associated song. Totally us, and totally a suprise (thanks, Tom!)
Dan: Christine's five year old cousin, after dancing with the tambourine for seemingly hours, turning to Christine at the end of the night saying, "Excuse me, what would you like me to do with this?"
Favorite bobbi+mike moment? (for the record, this question wasn't included in my list… they just threw it in! 🙂 )
Dan: When Mike awarded me "Quote of the Year" for saying, "It only takes one pair of white socks to ruin a wedding".
Christine: When we stopped for beer after the ceremony and Mike went in to the gas station to get Bobbi a soda and snack. We're both lucky to have amazing, thoughtful husbands 🙂
What was your favorite thing about your wedding?
Nacho. Cheese. Fountain. Enough said.
::EDITED TO ADD::
By popular demand… the famous nacho cheese fountain 🙂
Christine and Dan, thank you for having fun with us! From getting ready to the reception… the entire day was full of perfection. Christine, you did an AMAZING job of planning an incredible day. And to your wedding party… you guys are the DEFINITION of what a wedding party should be!
MUCH LOVE!
~bobbi+mike ❗ + ❓
HEEEEERE WE ARE!
And, yes yes yes… me with my two brides! Christine and Bridget 🙂
SO hot.
😉
Workin' out the "photobooth"!
Gosh, there's a WHOLE LOTTA me in this blog entry… but I COULD NOT resist taking a photo with THE BEST wedding planners in St. Louis. 🙂
❗ + ❓
wow! what gorgeous pics! you guys are amazing! what a beautiful wedding…captured by awesome photographers!
SUPER Sweet shot of that arch! You guys are sooo incredibly talented, I swear! 🙂
Guessing the song “You’ve lost that lovin feeling!” LOL
It looks like the rings were shot on something rusty, but it looks so colorful
Song “living on a prayer”…that’s my guess anyway!
Love that Arch photo! AMAZINGNESS! My vote is for them singing “Don’t Stop Believing” =)
Haha…I think I’m the same type of shoe person! I love getting the shoe shots but hate wearing heels! 🙂
2 guesses: sweet caroline or i’ve got friends in low places
loooove those shoes! great pics bobbster 🙂
Love the arch shot! My song guess-i totally random but I say “I’m on a boat”
Holy freakin’ MOLY! This set is wonderful and in one of my favorite cities – St. Louis has always been my kinda’ town and to see it in this way, well, I totally dig it!! Ring shot: on something made of wrought iron? Song: hmmm…no clue. I’m really bad at this game. HA!
yarg. i was totally going to guess livin’ on a prayer, too!
“OOOHHHHHHHHHH we’re half way there.”
wow that arch shot is particularly awesome shot! goooorgeous!
also for the song singing picture im going to guess sweet caroline 🙂
ST LOUIS?!?!? Had I known…I would have sooooo planned to be “playing” at The City Museum that day, just to catch a glimpse of you guys! Isn’t it an awesome place? Great Work! I love the picture of the skyline and our arch, it’s been done but never like this before! 🙂
My original guess was Sweet Caroline but I’ll toss in “Life Is A Highway” just for kicks…..
Love the shot of the photog relative…
Awesomeness, as always! Big love.
Hey Bobbi and Mikey,
WOW…. I am in awe. The famous St Louis Arch (AKA Arch to the Midwest) photo has to be the best ever. Christine looked absolutely beautiful. I too love her details. Great job you two.
Momba loves you.
Your images are AMAZING and I am such a huge fan of your work! My guess for the song is a wedding favorite… “Shout”…. in particular, I think that it might be the part where it says “Now WAIIIIIIIIIIT a minute!” Haha! This is a fun game! 🙂
Awesome!! Everything, Top to bottom, B&G to bbmk, STL to Steph n’ Brit. Awesome!
bobbi and mike…..these pictures are gorgeous….per usual. i cannot wait for spring to be here so that wedding season is in full swing and you’re shooting and posting 24/7! p.s. did you notice that you passed 20,000 comments?!!? congrats!!!
Amazing. All around beautiful but I love the shot of the bride on the stairs. How cute is she?
i was like a kid on Christmas morning today. the blog was the first thing i checked and i was not disappointed! i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. my favorites (other than the arch) are the one of my dad and i’s big dance finale, the wolflinks, the one of me on the steps and the crown royal pouring 😉 can’t say enough times how awesome you guys are.
That arch shot needs a spot on the B&M studio wall!!!! And that ring shot? Well, I’m biased too, but if I could do it again, I htink I’d fall for something like that myself!
(though probabaly not as often as christine) I was furiously checking all the time waiting for the blog, and of course it doesn’t disappoint! ah-MAZ-ing!!! I can’t say enough about how much fun bobbi+mike were, how many times I have since gushed about you guys (to even random strangers), and how ridiculously incredible the pics are! much love!
I’m guessing Bon Jovi ” Livin on a Prayer”
Love the detail shots! And that portrait under the arch – AAHHHHMAAAZING! So much fun & life in your images & the behind the scenes stuff rocks my socks 🙂
I love love love the arch photo!!! Every wedding reception has to have “YMCA”! That’s my guess.
OMG, can these be any more perfect?? The ring, the shoes, the bride on the steps, that Arch photo!? I am in awe yet again, you guys just rock. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!
I LOOOOOOOOVE this set. The shots by the steps – to die for. And that shot with the arch – UNREAL.
I’m guessing – “hooked on a feeling”… not sure if that’s the real title or not. But I can just see them singing “iiiiiiiiiiii, i’m hooked on a feeling, high on believing, that you’re in love with meeeeeeee” 🙂
Gorgeous as always!! My guess is I’ve got friends in low places!
Bobbi+Mike=awesome. Seriously, that arch shot and the b&w one of her on the stairs will definitely be featured in a magazine in the near future. I can just feeeeeeel it! Excellent as always!!!!!!!!
First of all my guess is Journey, “Don’t stop believing”
Second of all …. way to hit it out of the park … love this wedding!! The bridal dress is stunning, love the BM dresses, spectacular shoes, that arch picture will go down in history … everything seemed very creative and fun! Way to go team 🙂
I wish I could get married again so you guys could shoot us!!! Seriously 😉
I’m guessing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. Love the Arch picture!
I’m Gonna Guess “sweeet Caroline Oh OH OOhhh”
but AMAZING photos once AGAIN! so purdy 🙂
These are AWESOME! Glad you got a shot of Uncle Bob! 😉
I love every single shot! Seriously — every. single. one!! Awesome work.
OH MY how I ADORE this wedding and you guys ofcourse!! I am in love with the “fave”, and the ring shot is amazing!! Fab job guys!
were they singing livin on a prayer?
beautiful wedding photos as usual 🙂 you always score GREAT weddings!
there is just so much to smile about while viewing these! 🙂
Love that ARCH SHOT!
What a beautiful couple!!
My guess for the ring shot is an old bottle opener?
Is the ring shot done on a stove top…? Love all the pics, but of course the Arch shot is unreal!!
seriously that arch shot is like the ultimate bomb bomb rap song of wedding portraits!!! I love her blingy shoes, and her table details were delicious!! beautiful couple and wedding. 🙂
The arch shot is absolutely stunning! No shot of the “nacho.cheese.fountain”? Lol Beautiful job and I am loving the input from the bride and groom!!
These are amazing! Incredible work, you guys.
Great as per the usual, is it a fence? Also, it’s obvious to me by the way that you actually photograph the shoes that you love shoes, doesn’t mean you have to wear them. I think shoes are awesome! There are so many styles and colors sometimes I buy what seems like ugly shoes and get the most compliments because until you pair them with something you don’t know what they will be 🙂
pure LOVE! once again! and yes, steph and brit totally rock
The picture of the bride in the mirror is BEAUTIFUL! It literally almost brought me to tears.
love it!
and I adore all the “behind the scenes” images you post.
haha i was going to GUESS “don’t stop believing!” they seem to get so into it at EVERY WEDDING. (:
nice work, as always, guys!
FAB per usual! Don’t you love it when a bride puts that much thought and emotion, or energy as you stated, into their wedding details! Great job! 😉
For all obvious reasons I love this post, and since I was there, I won’t say what song!
You two did an awesome job! Gorgeous detail shots, and love the Arch shots!!
I guess is that they were singing “YMCA” hah
oh beautiful… i am blown away.
What I wouldn’t give for a picture of the nacho cheese fountain. If I see you at WPPI, I *will* harass you about it!
Wow, these are great, as usual! And, the arch shot is AWESOME!!! 🙂
Hi there, absolutely fantastic blog… just found you and love your and your hubbies images. So are most of your shots (during the day) natural light? Many thanks
What a great post! First off the arch is amazing, and I love the wolf cufflinks! Stellar, absolutely stellar!
I absolutely love the arch photo.
Well done!! This has to be one of my favorite B+M weddings and I’ve seen a TON of your weddings. (Just realized I’ve been following since 2007. Yay! I looove the ring shot. Gorgeous.

What a fun looking wedding!! My favorite shot is the one where you are lying down in front of all those men. ahaha How did I never think to put nacho cheese in one of those things? Now that’s a fountain worth having. Great job!
WOW! Those shoes are insane! <3 'em!
Fabulous pix too!
love love love your images! you guys rock!
so im wondering where the bridesmaids got their dresses??? Those are pretty much what my sister is looking for for her upcoming wedding! Is there any way to find out where they are from???
THANKS!!!

How did I miss this blog post until now? That ring shot is AMAZING! I love the colors! The shoes are perfection too. And, of course, all of your weddings make it look like everyone there is having THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES! (And with the great couples you photograph, maybe they are!) 🙂
