Remember Corrie and Jeff? Of course you do!  Corrie is my best friend in the whole wide world… In case you forgot… click here for some photos that I took of them just a few months ago.  WELLLLL HELLOOOOOO CAPTAIN OBVIOUS… Corrie had her baby!!!!!!!!

 

Isn't he perfect?

 

 

 

 

 

Hulk Hogan?  

 

 

 

 

 

Jeff is 6'4".  Corrie is 5'7".  Zachary is destined to be tall! 

 

 

 

 

Zachary looking at his mommy.  What I love about this is that Corrie makes this face ALL of the time!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOOK AT THOSE LIPS! (They're EXACTLY like Corrie's!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I kinda can't get over how much he looks like her! (okay, okay… I'll shut up… )

 

 

 

 

I love how real and warm this whole session was… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite I love you guys.

 

 

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. She had NO idea I was coming… I called Jeff right after Zachary was born to set up a time to come surprise her. So, about a week after he was born I knocked on their door.  I heard people inside scurrying quickly around (she was breastfeeding and they were covering her up).  Jeff opened the door… and I walked in to find her covered in blankets… she started SOBBING! "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE!"  Of course I started crying too.  That might have been the BEST surprise I've EVER pulled out of my hat.  

Zachary is so perfect in every way.  WOW!  I can't believe she's a mom!!!!!!!! And, she's perfect at it…   The way she looks at him, how relaxed she is, how happy she is… it's unreal.  You two are amazing parents

I wonder if he'll be an athlete?  I'm sure he will be.  Corrie was a hardcore competitive athlete in high school.. she was the best one in every sport she played.  Maybe I'm partial… but you should have seen her run. WOW!  And the photos of Jeff's arms above… seriously, need I say more?!  I cannot wait to watch Zachary grow up!  

Corrie, I flippin' miss you BIG time!  It's SO hard for me being 600 miles away from you   Whatever… enough about that, I'll start getting emotional.  

Love you guys,

~aunt bobbi + 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EYELASHES!!!!

 

 

 

  

 

I'm not going to lie… I'm very proud of this ring shot

 

 

 

 

A bride who wears maroon shoes?! I LOVE IT! 

 

 

 

 

OH SO HAPPY!

 

 

 

 

 

 Discussing the rain situation…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever seen bridesmaids wear white?! I've seen it in photos… but never in person and I LOVED it! 

 

 

 

 

AYKM?! YOU'RE GORGEOUSSSSS! My favorite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James Bond? Yes… HOT HOT HOT! Mikey's favorite

 

 

 

 

Right before the ceremony there was a little bit of downtime… so Amanda's bridesmaids and I thought it might be fun to choreograph a dance for Amanda.  I counted off the 8's… with camera in hand.  Later that night, they opened up the dance floor with the dance… HA!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the delightful July heat, we had to work fast.  Hmmm…what's outside and a quick walk?  Why this lovely construction site.  With rockstars like Amanda and Eric to photograph, no worries, they worked it out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mikey's 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SNUGGGGGGGLE! And one more favorite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of Eric's uncles hopped on stage and sang with the band… he was SOOOOOO good!

 

 

 

Annie, you're ADORABLE!

 

 

 

 

ERICAAAAAAA!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you see this as a canvas? I can…    

 

 

 

FORT WAYNE, Ind. HELLOOOOOOO AMANDA AND ERIC!!!!!   You're MARRIED! YAHOOOOOOSKI!!!!!

Amanda and Eric, we adore you! Just thought I'd get that out of the way… 

They were scheduled to get married outdoors at Foster Park.  The day started out with Eric and Mikey checking the radar every ten minutes.  There was a big "severe thunderstorms, 70% chance" icon on the Fort Wayne forecast.  Then it was supposed to be clear for a bit in the afternoon.  Then the forecast changed again.  We didn't know what to make of it.  There were a lot of phone calls being made back and forth…  Amanda and Eric opted for the safer route and moved the ceremony indoors.  BUT, it didn't thunder, it didn't rain, it didn't even sprinkle.  Storm clouds went right around us!  Instead, the wedding was done in the comfort of air conditioning and went perfectly! 

Let me tell you WHY everything went perfectly regardless of moving things around a bit.  AMANDA IS OH SO organized!!!!   You should see her wedding planning binder… it was OTT!  There was a reception hall floor plan (which came in handy because they moved their ceremony to their reception hall…),  color swatches, vendors' contracts (to contact due to the change of plans)…you name, it was there!  I cannot TELL you how awesome that book was.  Oh wait… I can show you though

  

 

Eric owned his own tux… and he looked OH SO handsome!   It fit him to a T (I found out later that it was a "Euro fit"). Uhm… he even knew how to tie a real bow tie!  I bet even James Bond has to have someone do it for him! (maybe that was too cheesy… oh well… )  HOT TAMALE!!!!!

To Amanda, Eric, your families, friends and bridal party… thanks SO much for having fun with us… we REALLY did love EVERY EVERRRRRY second!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVE!!!!!!

BYE!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Kat and Brian… OH HOW WE ADORE THEEEEEEE!!!!!

I'm in the midst of having a mini anxiety attack over here.  Why you ask?  Because their day was such a whirlwind of awesomeness and I know that whatever I write here won't be able to truly put into words how awesome it was.  I'll try…

Brian is the smilingest person we've ever met, EVER!  He's SO fun!  Sometimes, when taking posed photos, I ask people to give me their best "not smile."  Brian's not smile is still well… a smile.  

Kat is one of the funniest people we know.  I never stopped laughing the ENTIRE day.  Her bridesmaids were hilarious, too.  There was a LOT of funny goin' down that day!  My cheeks were hurting the next day from laughing so much (the ones on my face, HA!).  

WOWZAS what a happy day!

Kat and Brian never stopped dancing.  Have I mentioned how fun they are?! I really think that the photos speak for themselves though…

We LOVE feeling like we're wedding guests who just happen to have ooh la la cameras… and that's EXACTLY how we felt that day.  Yeah… we're lucky lucky lucky people.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!

Last but not least… we decided to do some prom photos.  HA HA HA!!!!! 

We did two contrasting "couples" These are SOOOO funny to me! 

 

The best man Sam and the Maid of Honor Abby.  They're the "awkward couple" who didn't really want to go to prom together… but going together was better than going alone.  Notice Sam isn't even looking at the camera? HILAAAAARIOUS!

 

Allllllllrighty then (can you tell Ace Ventura is on?)!  Slide show is up, click here!

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
