The girls got ready in a HUGE hotel suite (full of big windows, thank you!). I LOVE when hair and makeup is brought to the bride/bridesmaids… more fun and relaxing that way. 😀
If you couldn't tell by her reaction… the flowers arrived!!! 😀
U-Um… I ADORE you! This photo COMPLETELY represents your personality. 🙂
If this photo had a website… it would be workitout.com 😀
This was THE most amazing venue we've EVER seen for a ceremony/reception… hands down. If you're a Chicago bride, and looking for amazingness… do two things. 1) hire bobbi+mike 2) get married at the Armour House (not necessarily in that order 😉 )
I LOVE when couples write their own vows. 🙂 (we did!)
🙂
ARE YOU KIDDDDDING ME?! gorgeous with a capital G = Gorgeous!
Yes, this is THEIR VW bus…. How COOL is that?!
perfection. My favorite ❗
LOVED all of this red 😀
Proud of this photo. 🙂
The whole family 😀
AHHHHH!!! I don't know if I've mentioned this but… U-Um…. I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!
Someone's had a long day!
Towards the end of the night, Mike showed me THIS shot on the back of his camera and says, "DOESN'T SHE LOOK LIKE A BADASS?!" It's money! Mike's favorite ❓
CHICAGO. Writing about perfecto weddings is getting more and more difficult for me… especially ones like U-Um and Brian's! Why, you ask? Because… I'm not a very good writer… I just don't have enough words to describe its amazingness… Luckily for you… we're pretty good photographers, so we can just show you its perfection! 😀 This wedding was a day that Mike and I will never forget… the entire day was full of win.
U-Um is the kind of person I wish that I were… ALWAYS full of smiles, incredibly patient, oh so passionate and the sweeeeeeetest of the sweet! U-Um and Brian have two amazing kids (pictured above entering the reception)… so these two had a long engagement 😀 It was clear that a lot of time, energy and thought went into each and every detail there…. and, as you can see… it was all PERFECTO!
Speaking of their kids… Tyler, who's 2…. is a bit accident prone. 😀 At our initial meeting… which was at a park (the kids were along, and it seemed like a perfect idea)… While Tyler was coming down the slide, he somehow tumbled head first and landed RIGHT on his head…. within seconds, blood is gushing out of his face 🙁 SOOOO… our meeting was cut short with a visit to the emergency room. That's something that I'm guessing hasn't happened to too many wedding photographers 😀 At the end of the day, and a few stiches later… we were their photographers! 😀
We adooooooore you two… and cannot WAIT until you two need family photos. 😀
Much MUCH MUCH love!!!!!

I LOVE THAT CIGAR SHOT! I’ve been stalking your blog for ages now and just had to comment… you guys are amazing and I absolutely love your work and your personality!!
Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!
Someday when I am a Chicago bride, I would like to take your two suggestions for amazingness. Well I might not go to the armour house, but I’d certainly like some amazing Bobbi + Mike photos.
I love, love, love the badass last one!! One very beautiful wedding.
What a stunning wedding from start to finish! Awesome location, awesome photographers (duhh!) and awesome images, so beautiful! The shoe shot of both of them is my favorite! The red is just gorgeous!
Wow, those are awesome! Love them, love all your work…hope you keep it up for a long time to come!
To borrow a Bobbi phrase …. Phenomenal photos? Check AND MARK! 🙂
These pictures are so beautiful 🙂
I love a bride with red shoes (I will be a red shoe bride!)!
She does look like a badass! What a beautiful dress. I will have to look up that location. I haven’t heard of it, but it looks really pretty!
Wow, what a beautiful wedding! Amazing captures!! You HAVE to love the HUGS at the end of the night – but to get a group hug, that’s just pure CLOUD 9!
Oh my word! The bus, the cigar shot, the shoes, the kids…. wow. Wedding fabulousness on 7,653 levels.
p.s. The group hug shot made me tear up a little too. 🙂 My life would be complete if I experienced that at a wedding someday.
Love those last frames! Such love. 🙂
Ps….. is it too late for me to send in a photo?
I remember u-um from your twitter post…because she’s kind of unforgettable:) You two rocked Chicago’s Sox off. But the best is the little girl asleep after a long wedding day, melts my heart!
these are wonderful, as usual.

Wow!! You guys are totally A-mazing! Gorgeous bride, handsome groom and beautiful wedding party….how much fun!
Love it all, love the shoes…really love those shoes!! WORK IT MAMA! Woot!
