OHHHH YES… what you've been waiting for is here… our Jamaican amazingness. First up, their engagement session. 😀
HELLLLLL YESSSSS!!!!! AYKM WITH THAT BEAUTY!??! I KNEW when I took this photo that it was going up right here on the bliggity blog! Oh, and about all of the extra color in these images. I swear to you… I used the same process I always use (I even toned it down a bit) but that Jamaican sunlight is outtttta this world!!! We're all just naturally vibrant there. 🙂
JEAN-GUY?! You are RIDICULOUSLY hot tamales.
🙂
As we were walking out onto these rocks… I think I almost fell 10x. As a matter of fact, Mike took the cameras from me because I'm a weeee bit awkward (understatement of the year). They, however… could have ran on them, I'm not kidding! I kept saying, "you two move so nimbly!" (Yes, I know that's not a word… but they knew what I meant, so I say… IT'S A WORD!) I swear to you… they were like ballerinas compared to my clumzy ass!
We literally took ONE photo here when Suzanne ran off and started jumping around like a crazy person… "ANTS ANTS!!!! ANTS DON'T BITE?!?!!!" I guess they don't bite in Nova Scotia… but they sure the heck do in Jamaica! Yes yes yes… fire ants… INTENSE! After she shook all of the ants off we walked for another minute when she said, "it itches so bad!"
"Where?" I responded as I knelt down closely to her foot.
"There!" she pointed.
SMMMMMACK!!!!!!! Oh yes… WithOUT hesitation I took a BIG OL' swat at her ankle. You see, I've had more mosquito bites than anyone I know, and I'm ridiculously allergic (I'm convinced they love Irish blood). Anyway… I KNEW that the best way to make it stop itching is to smack it. Right after I did this, I immediately thought to myself, "OH NO! I shouldn't have done that… I totally went in to auto pilot!" as in.. that's exactly what I would have done if it had happened to a friend.
I asked, "does it itch anymore?"
"Nope!" she said. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
WOW… I can't believe I told you that story… makes me look like a loony toony. Oh well… I am who I am! And…we were able to shoot for another hour… so, BOOOYA FIRE ANTS!!!
Here is that one single photo we were able to take in front of this palm tree… 🙂
Hello Atlantic Ocean.
Does this photo make you bitter about having an abnormally cold winter here in the good ol' Midwest?! DOES FOR ME! BTW, my favorite ❗
this photo = perfection. 🙂 ANNNNND… Mikey's favorite ❓
RUNAWAY BAY, Jamaica
Wedding: February 10, 2010 • Jamaica
Can't wait to show you their wedding!
~bobbi+mike ❗ + ❓
PS. Funny that our last engagement session was IN THE SNOW… talk about contrast!
I'm telling you, me + that kind of heat are NOT pretty together. I may complain about the cold… but I'm MUCH prettier in Indiana than I am in Jamaica. Me = HOT MESSSSSS!!!!!!! (just you wait until you see my sweaty mess at their wedding… BLEH!)
I was only able to grab one photo of Mike as he was laying out during our session… 😉 Isn't his leather skin so sexy?!*
*JUST in case anyone is taking me even 1% seriously… that's not Mike. 🙂 Afterall, his Speedos are blue** 😉
**Mike doesn't have Speedos either, but wouldn't he look HOT in them?!
Okay, I'm being weird again… THIS is why I shouldn't blog late, I get weirder by the second.
❗ + ❓
baaaahahaha! loving the picture of mike 😉 HA!
awesome!!!
hahhaahah you crack me up…..totally jealous of this shoot. And btw fire ants suck so bad they are everywhere in NOLA I avoid them like the plague and their ant piles are unlike anything you’ve probably ever seen at least they weren’t like any I’d ever seen before moving here. And for the record I’ve only gotten bit by one and it hurt so bad I can’t even imagine a lot of them. ugh lol.
There are about 50 things in this blog that I completely love! PS- Looking good Mike, ha ha 🙂
I LOVE when you blog late! Makes for a fun read to go along with all the GORGEOUS photos. Can’t wait to see this wedding 🙂

Those picuters are amazing! It makes me jealous that I didn’t know of you when I got married. After seeing your shots, I am disappointed in ours and wish I could re-do them. These also make me want to go back to Jamaica for another honeymoon!
GORGEOUS!!! Is Jean-Guy a French guy? Looks like a French name to me! 😉
Love your pics! I’m jealous!! Can’t wait to see the wedding!!
Amy, yes… They’re French-Canadians from Nova Scotia 🙂 his name is pronounced Jhon-Gee (not really sure howww to spell the sound of the first part of his name… So that’s the best I can do!) oh, and Suzanne is pronounced Suzonn 🙂
I love, love, love them on the rocks and them with JUST the sky with the cloud lines. I can’t WAIT to the the weddddding!!

His identity is not obvious… no need 😀 (i KNEW that journalism law class would come in handy SOMEday! 😉 )
~ ❗
you’re right you know… everything is much more intense in colors. yummy!
I know exactly where these gorgeous images were taken!
Love love LOVE them!
Moreover, I think I’ve seen that guy on the beach hehe
Can’t waiting until the wedding post, I adore your work guys, and bumping into each other at the resort, just like that, was amazing. I am a big fan!!!
Love all the photos, love Jamaica … can’t wait for the wedding!!
I smiled a lot during this post…you make me laugh! Love the one you called perfection…I agree…
Looks like FUN! OMG I have a fire ant story! I’m from Louisiana and the fire ants are horrible there! I hadn’t been home in a few years and when I visited I tracked through my mom’s front yard in sandals without thinking. I got in the car and just started screaming! Steven was freaking out and I was stomping my feet all over and jumping out of the car – you had to be there – and there were fire ants ALL over my FEET. Steven said he committed mass murder in the car of all the ants he killed that I brushed off before I jumped out! I had blisters in between my toes and all over my feet!
I just felt for her because I know that she was feeling those bites days later!!
On another note, beautiful work per usual!
Hey there Bobbi & Mikey,
Bobbi you crackle me up. You are too funny. I love the light in these photos. My favorite is the last photo. It will make a beautiful canvas. I can;t wait to see the wedding pics. Suzanne has a natural beauty. Awesome job.
Momba
This post is hilarious!!! Sooo needed a genuine laugh tonight. Thanks!
I’m glad to see there are other Nova Scotians who love you two! Can’t wait to see more.
The pictures of this bride and groom blow my mind. They look so natural and free. Great job guys. Their wedding is going to be insane
