Kat got ready in a GORGEOUS bed and breakfast in West Lafayette.
And ARE YOU KIDDDDDDING ME?! ORANGE SHOES?!??!?! ME WANT ME WANT ME WANNNNNNT!
Kat never quit making this face all day… she was one of the happiest brides I've ever met.
How SASSY is that scarf?! It's SO Kat!
Some guys golf, some go fishing… we've even seen soccer. But… NEVER have we seen Scrabble. 🙂 How cool is that!? Here's Skip playing Scrabble with his three sons. Mikey's favorite ❓
Skip told Mike that Kat's favorite photo from their engagement session was the one where they were laying down. Skip thought it would be fun to surprise Kat with a photo with his sons. So… SURPRISE KAT!!!!!
They saw each other before the ceremony… 🙂
HOW CUUUUUTE ARE THEY?! This photo really captures their relationship perfectly. Skip was probably saying, "wow, you look beautiful!" and she was probably saying, "DON'T I?!" Gosh we LOVE you guys! My favorite shot of the day ❗
Maybe you remember from their engagement session… but Kat and Skip got married at the Samara House… A Frank Lloyd Wright house 🙂
Their ceremony was so perfect in every way… they had (now forgive me if I'm wrong) a flute, an accordion, a mandolin and a guitar… it was all just so them.
Kat and Skip stayed true to EVERYTHING Samara. I think the leaves that she had put in her bouquet were the same leaves from one of the plants on the grounds.
Even as she's crying… she's smiling. 😀
Many of Kat's family is Hawaiian… at the end of their vows they had a lei ceremony where all of Kat's immediate family participated. Hence… the lei's 🙂 That's the famous Dr. Christian on the far left sitting with his daughter Linda. Dr. Christian owns the house 🙂
Skip's brother capturing it all on film.
They memorized their vows… it was awesome.
There's that Lei Ceremony I was talking about earlier 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. There are so many things that I love about these two and I don't even know where to begin. GO FIGURE!
Kat Kat Kat Kat KATTTTT!!!! Wow. She's SO INCREDIBLY full of life. Gosh, I have SUCH a respect for her. With Kat, you ALWAYS know what's on her mind. She lives life to the max. She's loud, she's funny, she cusses, she's comfortable in any situation, she's genuine, she's confident, and she's Kat… and well, we love her. 😀
Skip is quieter and BOY OH BOY does he have SUCH a huge amount of love for her. Before the ceremony, it was just the two of us for a bit at the Samara House when Skip was telling me how much he loves her, respects her and was so happy to be marrying her. AHHHH WHAT A PERFECT COUPLE!
Their ceremony… THEIR CEREMONY… by far my FAVORITE part of their day. The way they looked at each other, how personal it was, the setting, (AYKM?!), the music, the vows, the intimacy… perfect.
And now that I've mentioned the Samara House a gazillion times… I have to say that this was the first wedding ever to be held there. Neat, huh?! Kat and Skip are HUGE Frank Lloyd Wright fans… I already knew that going in to their wedding day but I didn't know the extent of it. From the table numbers, to the bouquet and even the program were all Frank Lloyd Wright themed. Pretty neat, huh? 😀
To Kat and Skip, thank you so much for allowing us into your lives on well… the biggest day ever… it couldn't have been more perrrrfect.
LOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE!

OMG! I’ve been clicking and clicking and clicking …. and BOOM! THERE WE ARE!!!
I knew they were going to be incredible … but the gals at work and I just finished looking through the post … and TEARS are flowing. These are gorgeous. You captured us incredibly well …
You also did pretty well on the musical instruments … but it was a concertina, rather than an accordian (Hi, Denise!) and the bouquet leaves were from the gingko trees on the property … Frank Lloyd Wright’s favorite, and one of ours, too.
Every moment I remember is here. You guys are THE BEST. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
What a beautiful BEAUTIFUL ceremony! And can I say, I am IN LOVE with Kat’s dress, shoes, hair, makeup… everything!
Oh my…
*I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE the male b&w shoe shot…one bow is tied and one isn’t. LOVE IT.
**I realllllllllly dig their programs.
***I also love the shot of her bouquet.
****And the photo of Skip’s brother with that camera…look at him from the shoulders up- it’s an absolute Norman Rockwell dream!
*****The nighttime kiss at the end…the light is perfect and awfully swoony.
Great job kitten!
(Check your phone)

Congratulations!
Kat, everything looked just right – so you!
What a handsome, happy couple you make!
Another exciting new chapter in your life – congrats!
OMG – Kat & Skip,
These are soooooo beautiful. They took my breath away and made me smile. It is very clear how much you love each other. i wish you that love for the rest of your lives.
Thank you for sharing and letting me be a part of this special time in your life.
Fondly,
Carol
the last pic is dreamy. 🙂 how cool/cute were her orange shoes?!
looks like you hair is getting long bobbikins, or am i crazy?
Okay, you had me at the shoes, but the flowers are freaking exquisite. And HOLY BOKEH on the back-of-the-dress shot. I LOVE that image! Is that the 85 1.2?
You guys are amazing and I wish I could comment on every post you make. I hope we can get to where you are someday.
Oh, these are so rockin and gorgeous! beautiful setting, i THINK my fav photo is the one where the couple is talking before the ceremony and she’s probably saying “don’t i?” Yes, she did, and that pic is SO GREAT! i’m feelin it! i’m not mad about the shout out either bobbi – thanks! 🙂 and you’re right, mike is tot the bomb.com!
I love this wedding! Her bouquet is GORGEOUS with the ginkgo leaves- that is what leaves we used on our announcements 10 years ago. 🙂 LOVVVVE the orange shoes- love her tattoo on her back. I love how personal their day was, and they seem so loving…BEAUTIFUL you 4! 🙂 LOVE TO YOU BOBBI + MIKE!!!!
I have to say, I don’t even know those two but their love is SO apparent in these images. As always Bobbi and Mike you rocked my socks off.
And um, those orange shoes? WANT!!!!
Bobbi,
These are so awesome!!! And as soon as I saw those leaves, I was thinking “Ginko, ginko!” But I see Kat (of course!!) beat me to the answer. I went to the FLW studio up in Oak Park the day after DJ’s Freedom tour and there is a ginko tree there that was planted when FLW was just a little kid. So cool…
I love when couples personalize their big day and this one seemed to have tackled the challenge in such a unique way – LOVE IT!
Okay your favorite shot = my favorite shot. It could have been just like any other shot but your timing was perfect on this one. His expression and her body language are just priceless in that image. Beautiful work on these!
You two capture emotion better than anyone else in this world! Amazing!!
What great emotion and details you two always capture…memorized wedding vows, orange shoes, Lei ceremony, Ginko leaves in the flowers and on the program, and the Samara House!!…everything is perfect and gives so much insight to the love and beauty of this couple.
hey Bobbi and Mike,
Kat and Skip make such a cute couple. Their love definitely shows in your photos. My favorites are the photo you selected and the last outside picture. Great work.
Love you both
Momba
Mom… I REALLY think that of allllll of the photographer blogs that I follow, you’re the only mom who comments on EVERY post. I love you mommmmmm!
~Bobbi Michelle ❗
The wedding was perfect and the photos are amazing! Knowing the two of you makes me even MORE excited about the marriage – blessings to you individually and as a couple! Thanks for letting your love shine to those around you!
OMG! Does she have orange beads on her dress!!! I love that!! What a beautiful wedding and couple! Great job you two, as always!!
~Meg
Beautiful pictures. I love the one of you both and Gale. Are there more?
Sarah and Skip you both exude joy. What a wonderful day that was. The dress, the shoes ( !!!) , the flowers, the long, intense eye contact. A dream wedding.
Bobbi and Mike, you are true artists. You captured everything perfectly.
K&S and B&M, I thank you all for the experience and the beauty.

I love Kat, and to see her this happy and beautiful makes me smile. In the years I have known her and listening to her talk about Skip, I feel that I know him without even meeting him. Good luck to you both, and have a great and happy life together.
XOXO,
Teresa
