May, 2003… our graduation from Indiana State University :)  Of course my favorite is the one where the tassles were blowing and tickling our noses…. I'm weird.:D

I cannot believe it's been over five years ago… WOW!

Meanwhile… 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I adore this photo.  Megan, you have SUCH a great smile. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I know I went a little OTT with salon photos… but I love Studio 2000 :) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These girls were SOOOOO much fun to be around!!!!!! They even gave me a nickname.;)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dad (Roberto) wanted to practice the dance in the ballroom before their big debut.  Mikey's favorite:?:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Watching their Phi Mu spring break video. :)  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 When I saw her ring… I immediately thought of the part in many wedding ceremonies where the officiant says, "This ring has no beginning and no end… oh wait… maybe it does… scratch that."  Luckily, he never said it.:)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Reading his card from Megan. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Megan's mom Jeanne bought all of the bridesmaids these net things to put over the heads so that when they put their dresses on they wouldn't get makeup on them.  Leave it to this bridal party to turn it into a fashion statement. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These next three were taken right before the walk down the aisle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I LOVE this moment.

Harder than it looks, huh?!
 
 
 
 
 
 
The hats were a shout out to Caleb's recently passed Grandpa.  Caleb, you're a good egg.
 
 
 
 
 
 
HA! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
INTRODUCING!!!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Even the FOOD was pretty!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Watching the slideshow that her brother put together:)
 
 
 
 
 
 
HOW AWESOME IS THE LIGHTING AT THE ROOF BALLROOM?!?!!??!? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  bobbi+mike shoot another AMAZING wedding. YAHOOOO!  Where do I begin?!  Hmm… Megan was stunning, Caleb was a hot tamale.. their families are SO much fun to be around, their bridal party was HILARIOUS and we had a blast.  
 
Talk about some CARAAAAAAZY bridesmaids!!!!! OMG HOW FUN WERE THEY?! I don't think I quit laughing the entire day.  One of the bridesmaids kept getting referred to as "Lynn-Ville" I thought… what a strange but cute nickname…. They turned her name into a city.  I was assuming that her name was Lynn.  Well… later that evening I heard someone refer to her as Ashley.  "ASHLEY?!" I exclaimed… "I thought her name was Lynn!"  
 
"No no no Bobbi… her name is Ashley Linville!"  I'm SO dumb!!!!!  So I thought it would be fun if my name were turned into a city, too.  Ashley quickly came up with "Bobbi-Town"  I dig it.  :D  They called me that for the rest of the night.  I'm down with it :)  
 
Okay, so about that squirrel.. AYKM?!  The guys were eating their lunch on the golf course.  Up walked a squirrel… it kept getting closer and closer.  Eventually, the squirrel was looking at Caleb and appeared to be begging for food like a dog.  Closer and closer and closer he got… eventually he started taking food from Rick's hand (Caleb's dad).  HOW WILD IS THAT?!
 
Because the flowers arrived late, we started the "before" photos about 45 minutes late. No big deal… we can move fast after the ceremony, we'll get it done, no biggie!  Well… OUT OF NOWHERE COMES A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN!!!!! I'm outside with the bridal party when BAM… IT STARTS POURING!!!!!!!!  I THREW my camera under my shirt and ran for cover.  I was DRINCHED!  Whatever… adjust fire… We'll get some done under the awning at The Ballroom… I pull my car up and see that it's quit raining.  I see the bridal party just arrived and is standing under the awning.  I yell out my window, "STAY RIGHT THERE… I'LL HURRY DOWN!!!!!"  At this point I'm quite stressed because I know that the stop of the rain is only temporary, the sun is nearly gone, and they have to be introduced in 10 minutes.  So up the parking garage I drove…  CRUNNNNNNNCH! I sideswiped my car on a HUGE yellow post. ¶§¢%¢•ªº¡™£!!!!!!!!  Oh well… What can I do about it now?!  I get to the very top of the parking garage, didn't even look at the damage… and RAN to the elevator!  In that ten minutes… THEY WORKED IT OUT!!!!!  I didn't tell Mikey about the car until the very end of the night… I'm so not a good driver!  Yeah yeah yeah, I know… it's a small VW bug and I still hit things with it!  AHHHHH!!!!!!
 
Caleb looks IDENTICAL to his older brother.  At the reception, a groomsmen requested a photo of himself with the groom… I went over to his brother (who I thought was Caleb) and said… please come over here, you're needed for a photo."  He headed on over.  It was then that I realized that it wasn't Caleb I was talking to… "Uhm… this is a little embarrassing, I have the wrong guy."  I did it two more times that night. Yeah… that's a first in the world of bobbi.  EEEEKS!
 
What an awesome day.:DWE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!! 
 
LOVE LOVE LOVE,

danielle+justin | a knot real wedding!

 

A few months ago… I got an email from Rebecca at The Knot.   She had been watching our blog and wanted to know if we had photographed any weddings that would be a good fit for their Real Weddings section.  I IMMEDIATELY thought of Danielle and Justin.  Danielle was so incredibly detail oriented and did an AMAZING job of really incorporating a fall theme. So, I submitted their full gallery… and yes yes yes… they were selected!:D

So, go check it out!!!!!!

 

 

YOU GUYS ROCK!

ZIONSVILLE, Ind.  Talk about classy! These two know how to plan a perfect wedding day!  Gorgeous flowers, a sweet venue, Caroline’s GORGEOUS dress… WOW!  it couldn’t have been more suiting!

They got married and held their reception at Nancy Noel’s Sanctuary.  What is Nancy Noel’s Sanctuary you may ask? It’s a Victorian church originally built in the 19th Century that has been transformed into an art gallery… a collection owned by Ms. Nancy Noel herself.  As I mentioned earlier… it was a very suiting location for them.  Why?  Because Aaron is a trained painter and Caroline minored in art history.  Clearly, they both have quite an interest in art :)  See… told you it was perfect.

 
Caroline has a laugh that is OH SO contagious.  When we’re around her we can’t help but be in a great mood.  She has that effect on everyone around her.  :)  Isn’t that called charisma?  Uhm… I think so.  :D  Her whole family is like that… huge smiles, big personalities and just a blast to be around!  
 
Aaron is one of the most easy-going, quirky, cute, funny and genuine guys I’ve ever met.  As you can see from the photo above… he’s HILARIOUS!  I was out in the foyer of the Sanctuary when up RUNS Caroline… “BOBBI YOU CAN’T MISS THIS?!” (Mikey was already over there) She had the BIGGEST smile on her face… so I KNEW it had to be something good. I walk over there and there’s Aaron with long hair, a red bandana and Dylanesque shades standing next to his friend who’s also wearing a wig and sunglasses.  We don’t really know the full story of these two characters they’ve created… but we think they do short films. Aaron, maybe you could enlighten us?;)
 
Thanks for everything you guys!  YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
 
Love love love,
