This little man was SO stinking adorable!
“BRING IT IN TIGHT!” You got it… twelve bridesmaids! I think that’s a record 😀
My hilarious jokes clearly never fail!
Our favorite ❗ + ❓ I adopted Ray as my Indiana dad. He’s one of the best dad’s I’ve ever met… and that’s sayin’ something because you know I meet a ton!
Let’s mention now the two ushers and two guestbook attendants (wearing bridesmaid dresses) who were ALSO in this wedding party… bringing the TOTAL up to THIRTY! Lindsey and Charlie, it must be hard being so dang fun that you have one zillion friends! 😀
Another favorite ❗ By the way, Mike wanted me to clarify… the ladies in this photo aren’t especially short. Nor are the men especially tall… the men are jumping straight up, as high as they could. 😀 Well, the ones who got the timing right did! 😉
You two are fun city. 😀
Lindsey surprised Charlie with a bag piper. 😀
BLINNNNNNNG!
…the after party! 🙂 Leave it to Lindsey to jump on the stage with the singer…. all the while double fisting. This is what Lindsey refers to as a “sh*tshow.” I just looked that term up on Urban Dictionary, and this is what I got, “Used when ‘shenanigans’ is just not adequate. A sh*tshow denotes general craziness, alcohol use, and sheer insanity all occurring simultaneously.” And now I know 🙂

Any advice for future bride/grooms?

charlie: DO NOT DO A SEATING CHART!!!!!
Funniest memory from your wedding day?

Much love friends!

My hilarious jokes IN action! 😀
“I’m hunting wabbits, hunting wabbbbbits…!”
Bobbi “Queen of the Bustle” Sheridan 🙂 This was the most difficult bustle repair yet. Why, you ask? Because there was NOTHING left of it… I had to completely recreate it. Why oh why do almost ALL bustles break? Hey seamstress’ of the world… there’s GOT to be a better way. GOT TO BE!!!!! 
❗ + ❓
Damn, that picture of her and her dad is powerful stuff. Don’t think I’m going to allow my girls to get married, it looks too hard.
I have been following your work for a whiiiillllle now – silently lurking – but I had to break my silence b/c sh*tshow is now my new favorite word. Love it! {And love your images, once again you rocked it with emotion and meaning.}
I wore an amazing Maggie Sottero dress at my wedding, and it has pick ups on the bottom similar to Lindsey’s dress. My seamstress used colored ribbons. All you did was match the color on the bottom with the color on the top and viola! Not sure if they are all done like that but it worked!
Angela, it’s not the bustle systems (ie colored ribbons,numbered buttons, etc) I don’t like… it’s the physical construction of them. 80% of bustles break, and it’s a bummer for the bride. 🙁 Thanks for your input though!
wow what a wedding party! beautiful images =)
Bless your souls for rocking it out with a wedding party that large and in charge! That’s typically like herding cats, but in true BBMK fashion – you rocked it! Gorgeousness all around and I cannot wait to use the term sh*tshow in regular conversations!!
Great work!!
LOVE!! Yeah, the father/daughter picture made me tear up, and I love the color combo for this wedding!! The 12 bridesmaids is a tie for the record of BBMK weddings – that I used to hold! 🙂 But our whole wedding party wasn’t that big – I had 12 bridesmaids and Henry had 9 groomsmen. DANG! Looks like it was tons of fun!
You hadn’t heard that term before? Guess it was growing up in a tiny town, we used it all the time! 🙂 Welcome to the fold! You have created my favorite ring shot to date my friend! This looks like such a fun wedding and huge pat on the back (and a hug) for that full wedding party shot!!!
Beautiful and such a blast!!
Whoooaaaa nelly–that is a LOT of people for a wedding party! But as you said, when you’re popular, it comes with the territory 🙂 and I bet Lindsey and Charlie have been in 12 weddings themselves, right?)
Loved the bagpiper shot. And for some reason, that last shot of you with the bustle? I really love it too.
So as I was reading the Q&A, the answer to “funniest memory from your wedding day” was “Jason clogging … and us trying to follow along.” I thought, how funny! We also had a Jason clogging at our reception! I scrolled back up to pictures of the groomsmen, and sure enough – their clogging Jason was one of our groomsmen as well! What a small world!
Wowzer to that picture with her Dad. Rock star photog and bustle extraordinaire…that my friend is why you rock some socks!! 🙂
Nicely done, yous two! Nicely DONE!! And it’s good to know that I’m not the only photog that doubles up as a seamstress. Just sayin’…
Amazing! You guys were amazing with all of us. I have never cried and laughed as much as I did. Lindsey knew it would be a sh*tshow from the beginning, but we would expect nothing less (or want anything else) BTW, Her dad is awesome!
One of the biggest wedding parties I have ever seen, but you made their portraits look easy. Just wonderful coverage! Wickedly good.
Is Charlie on a school bus? Amazing photos as usual 🙂
Tracy, yep! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous!! Everything was so special because Lindsey and Charlie are such a great couple!! They made the wedding FUN which is what it is suppose to be!! May God Bless your home and lives with much happiness.
These photos are amazing in every respect. To capture the essence of the moments like you guys do just rocks it!
As the father of the bride, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m still basking in the glow of that wonderful day! Thank you both for taking such good care of us all. I’m just simply amazed. Words just can’t describe…
love the second shot. you can see the excitement just coming out!
awesome!
These totally rock! Awesome job!! 😉
Super job, as usual! Love the last shot – proof that wedding photographers are not just photographers, we all just want your day to be smooth and bustled. 🙂
Wonderful job as always guys. Did I mention I have you bookmarked?! You always provide inspiration. 😀
Hey Bobbi and Mikey,
What a huge wedding party. Thirty, are you kidding me. My favorite is the laughing wedding party. What did you say to make them laugh so hard. Great job you two.
Love you,
Momba
The pic of the bride and her Dad. So touching. You guys are amazing.
