The BLING!
🙂
Their first site 🙂 But why isn't she ready? I'll explain later… Oh and Mikey's favorite ❓
It had something to do with this…. the implosion of the old Colt's stadium 🙂
The aftermath of that implosion… Out with the old, in with the new! 😀 I love this photo.
This makes me giggle 🙂
Sarah's brother was feeling SO James Bond in the bow tie 🙂
The AMAAAAAAAAZING Kiralee did the makeup 🙂 Can I just take this opportunity to say that I think that EVERY bride should get their makeup done on their wedding day… 🙂
AYKM?! ARE YOUUUUU KIDDDDDDDDDING MEEEEEEE?!
STUNNNNNNING!
They couldn't keep their eyes off of each other allllll dayyyyy lonnnnnnng 🙂
CONGRATULAAAAAAATIONS!!!!!!!!
How flipping CUUUUUTE are these two?!
Matt likes the photos that are from a low angle… my suggestion Matt? YOU NEED A CANVAS OF THIS! It's my absolute favorite! ❗
BRING IT IN TIIIIIIGHT! I love the sweetness of it. I showed it to Sarah on the back of the camera and she exclaimed, "OH MY GOSH BOBBI I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!"
INTRODUUUUUUCING!
😀
I love me some first dances 🙂
Notice Matt and his mom in the left corner? 😉
Sarah's brother surprised everyone and performed the sweetest song. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, including yours truly… It was my favorite moment of the entire day. 🙂
GET DOWN!
Off to Paris!
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Talk about a SWEEEEEEET couple! Just being around these two, you can't help but smile. I hope you all felt that by looking at these photos… Even editing them put me in a good mood. 🙂 Every second that they're together… it's a smile-a-thon. 😉
As I already mentioned, Sarah and Matt had decided to see each other before their ceremony. And no…not just for photos. Matt's room had a front row view of the RCA dome's implosion that was happening THAT day (for the non-Indianapolis blog readers, the RCA Dome is the old Colts stadium). Matt said to Sarah, "even if you're not ready, I want to watch it with you!" So, just as planned… Sarah came in a few minutes before the big boom was supposed to happen. So, they stood by and waited… and waited… and WAITED! Half an hour later, they were STILLLLL waiting by that window. What was the hold up!? First there was a train… then some dummy in a nearby parking garage THEN who KNOWS what happened. FINALLY, Sarah said, "you know, as much as I'd like to see it… I REALLY have to get ready for the wedding." Fifteen minutes later… BOOOOOOOM! We all felt it… it was SO cool. A bummer that they couldn't watch it together but… still cool that we all felt it 🙂
When's the last time you an remember a wedding reception ending while it was still light out!? The reason for that? Matt LOVED the idea of a couple leaving for their honeymoon directly from their reception. They both thought it was so romantic… SO, Sarah and Matt headed off to catch that afternoon's flight to Paris! Isn't that AWESOME!? its like from a movie!
Did I mention the SMILE-A-THON!
Thank you two SO much for well… EVERYTHING!!!!!! You both rock rock rock
ROCK!!!!!
LOOOOOOOOVE!

OK! It's here at long last! Click here for Sarah's and Matt's slide show! The user name is Sarah's maiden name, and the password is Matt's last name, in all lower case.
Also, their full gallery is viewable by clicking here! The event key is Matt's last name. Enjoy!
So, as Mike and I were leaving… I FREAKED out, "MIKE! WE FORGOT TO GET A PHOTO WITH THEM!!!!!!!" They were on such a time line to get out for their honeymoon, we just didn't think about it. Now that may not seem important to most people… but it is HUGELY important to us… WE LOVE our photos with the B&G! 🙁 I was totally bummed (Yes, I'm a TOTAL drama queen, leave me alone!). I had already started thinking about how I could Photoshop us all in together in one photo. THEN, as I was editing through the full gallery found THIS gem 🙂 I had TOTALLY forgotten about it 😀 Mike was metering for the group shots and AS ALWAYS, I'm the test subject 😀 By some fluke, Sarah and I randomly jumped in the shot together. That's never happened before 🙂 SOOOOO… HOW COOOOL that we still have a shot together (well, minus the men, but hey… it's better than nothing!)
…compensating for being 5'2 🙂 Hey, it works!
Other photographers often ask me, "How do you get your brides to sit down in their wedding dress?!" The answer, I simply ask. 🙂 I think our brides trust us… so, that helps 🙂 I've NEVER asked a bride to do something that would hurt the dress…. and I almost always throw down my own blazer for them to sit on 🙂

Sweet ring shot! The one of her in front of the window is soooo Lovely!
What a beautiful wedding! Wow, their happines jumps off your blog! My fav is the black and white sitting and almost kissing shot. THAT should be a canvas. : )
PS I’m so excited you are wearing the orange gloves! Yippee!
mmm…..lovin the green under those rings!! gorgeous couple!
mmm…..lovin the green under those rings!! gorgeous couple!
Maybe I’m biased and love my Buckyeye teams, but I can only see OHIO in your first photo of the purse. Also, love, love, love you guys. Love. 🙂
You guys just keep rocking the place! loving the ring and dress from stair shot! great stuff guys!
what an awesome shoot. smile-a-thon…and then some. i’m smiling just scrolling thru them 🙂
how are you liking the 5D II?
Thank you SO much. They are all a favorite!!!! It will be hard to pick just one for a canvas! You guys are beyond amazing! Just like the morning of the wedding, I’m crying! 🙂 You have no idea how much these photos (and this post) mean to us. My dad was supposed to have surgery the week of the wedding. The doctor agreed to postpone the surgery and the only request was to see photos of the wedding. He has surgery today! I can’t wait to tell dad the pictures are posted! 🙂
Thank you for everything. We love you both!
Sarah
Love the one of them from a low angle. What song did her brother play?
BEAUTIFUL shots Bobbi and Mike! Bobbi, I love the one with you and the bride. You can just feel how much she trusts her wedding photographer with that hug she’s giving you 🙂
wow, what an awsome set of photos…the bride is just glowing! Her dress looks amazing on her and duh, Kiralee is the bombdiggity! I also love the striped ribbon on her boquet! Lastly, I think it is so cool that they left immediately after the reception to head off to Paris…VERY romantic!!! 🙂
p.s. Just to confirm what you said Bobbi; yes, it is absolute trust that you guys wouldn’t be asking me or any of your other brides to do something that was going to “ruin” the dress. For me, there was never a second thoguht…Bobbi and Mike’s wish is my command! 🙂 You guys are rockstars!! xoxo
Hi, this is Patrick, Sarah’s brother. I am absolutely floored by how amazing these photos look! We all shared a lot of warmth and fun at the wedding, and it was captured with expert skill in these shots. Bobbi and Mike are truly talented, very professional, and an absolute blast to work with! I wish you both the very best in your career, and will definitely be in touch with you when I find that special girl of my own to marry!
In response to Corrie, Sarah asked me to do “1, 2, 3, 4” by The Plain White T’s as a surprise to her new husband.
Wow, now I can’t stop smiling!! These photos are so amazing … the couple is sooo adorable and obviously madly in love. I’m obsessed with this wedding … loving the bridal shots, dress, goodbye poster, shot of them walking out of the church, and the b&w of them almost kissing should def. be a canvas (plus several others!)
Bobbi + Mike …. you rock!!
P.S. Super jealous of the Paris honeymoon 🙂
Love this post! Gorgeous bride, gorgeous lighting in bridal shots, gorgeous details! Love it all! Thanks for the inspiration! U 2 ROCK!!!
VERY VERY NICE! Congrats
My brides always sit down! They totally trust me too, it’s awesome. 🙂 I’m 5″2 as well; feel your pain. My favourite shot was the one where you said AYKM?!! GORGEOUS. Love the backlight.
Every time I see AYKM I scream it in my head… too funny. I dig the ring shot. Love the pics in this post!
Beautiful! Love the demonition shot and the fact that they watched that together! Yes a canvas needs to be made of that shot for sure!
I’m a HUGE fan of this post and all your work!!! I especially LOVE this image of the bride in front of the window with a little bit of green curtain in the corner. Thanks for being such an inspiration 🙂
Woweee these are great! Very beautiful details, love her dress and the location too! Beautiful capture!
LOVE THE RING SHOT, GREAT IDEA!
I just now had a chance to really look at the photos…..I swas half asleeop this morning at first view! I can’t think you guys enough for the wonderful photos, and even moreso for the amount of support and caring you gave us on our wedding day, If there are any grooms in waiting reading this- please know how helpful it is to have Bobbi and Mike there to help you get through the day. I truly believe the day would have been lame without them, Well….maybe that’s an overstatement, but again, thanks for the sane advice and of course taking great pictures while you were being so supportive. I’m a fan for life!
Wow….and a third thanks for letting such a grammatically horrendous post grace your blog!!
what a beautiful wedding…love the Omni! I agree with Betsy, the “almost kissing” pic definitely needs to be a canvas!
Love your adorable coat Bobs!
Um…can you tell tax season started and someone in our home is not sleeping? 🙂
She looked amazing and those pictures are so awesome! you rock my socks off. 🙂
Wow, they look so happy! I love the first look. And going straight to their honeymoon? So sweet. Oh, and I’m 5’1, so I totally understand the holding the camera above your head… only you are probably way better at nailing those than I am!
I LOVE every single picture from this wedding. So gorgeous!
What a stunning wedding!!! Beautiful captured Bobbi + Mike! 🙂
Love Love Love these!! YOu guys did such an amazing job as always!
Love the ring shot….and the idea of leaving the reception and going straight to the honeymoon!
Great pics as always!
Wow. What amazing pictures!!! She looks so beautiful and I love her flowers with that ribbon. Great!
YAY!! It’s the couple with the curly hair!! Of course they are all FAB!! but my absolute fav is of them walking down the aisle and the shot is taken at the perfect moment of them crossing the medallion/star on the carpet…LOVE IT!:o)
You’re so chivalrous, Bobbi, to put your coat down for the brides! 🙂
And omg, her dress is gorgeous on her! Whoever helped her pick it out should be a professional stylist!
I’m so speechless!
YUM all the way around.
and can i just say WHOA B: you looking AMAZING! in that photo with sarah!!
terrific images ~ so much spirit captured!
great work!
amy
Amazing pictures! You guys captured the day perfectly!
Love them ALL! 🙂
Love em. Looks like it was cold. You’re all bundled up and the bride is wearing sleeveless. She must have been hardcore for photos! 🙂
That ring shot rocks!!!
Hey Bobbi and Mike,
I too, love this blog post. The implosion, of the stadium, story is so romantic. My favorite photos are the B&W of Sara and Matt snuggling outside by the rail and the “stunning” close up of Sara holding her bouquet. Excellent work, once again.
Love you both,
Momba
