I’m sorry that Brett is SOOO DAMN HOTTTTTT!!!!!

This CRACKS me up!  It’s so them…  Him being crazy and her not even flinching.

 

 

 

 

Bring it in tight…

 

 

 

Okay… so that little window sill that Brett is perched on is probably SEVEN FEEEEEET UP!  No… I’m NOT kidding you.  He said, “want me to climb up there?”  I… after seeing this HILARIOUS blog post (scroll down a bit and you’ll see what i’m talking about) of Brett “monkeying” his way up on a random ring on the side of a building KNEW what he was capable of so without hesitation I said, “SURE!”. With a run and jump.. he was up there within seconds… DONE AND DONE!!!!  And PS. AYKM with the GORGEOUSNESS that Jess is?! ANOTHER favorite:!:

 

 

 

 

These two did an amazing job of making this photo shoot about them.

This was their first house/apartment from ten years ago.  Other people live there now, but… I’m sure they didn’t mind the eye candy, HA!:D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes… he can walk on his hands.  No, he’s not wearing socks;)

 

 

 

 

ARE  YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! JESSSSSSS YOU ARE SOOOOOO BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Hot legs!

 

 

 

 

I’m putting this one up just for you Jess. :)  When I showed her this on the back of the camera she started to get a little emotional saying, “that’s sooo us.”:D

 

 

 

 

HOT TAMALE! Mikey’s favorite:?:

 

 

 

 

We got a little experimental with the light…:)

 

 

CINCINNATI, Ohio. WE flipping LOOOOOVE these two SOOOOO much. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  WHERE DO I BEGINNNN?!??!!!???! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Jess is one of the sweetest, most patient, most adorable, most genuine people I’ve ever met.  Brett is crazy, super smart, OH SO hilarious and just plain awesome.   Together, they’re PERFECT!  We could seriously hang out with them all day. WHY OH WHY do many of our favorite people live far away from us:(

They’ve been married for ten years… they got married in jeans and t-shirts and have never had professional photos of themselves. Before I go further… can I just tell you how much I love that they got married in jeans? :)  Gosh we adore them!  Anyway… For their big ten year anniversary (coming up on December 23:)) they decided it was tiiiiiime for some photooooooos.  So, we made that happen. DONE AND DOOOOONE!:D

We’re so honored, flattered and excited that you guys asked us to photo you.   How lucky are we that we get to hang out with such amazing people… it means the world to us.  GAH! I’m getting emotional… Bobbi=OTT!

YOU ROCK!

LOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!:)

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

EDITED TO ADD: Sometimes when I’m editing a session… I keep hearing a song in my head… almost a soundtrack to their session/their love/their story/etc.  Maybe I’m weird, but it’s what I do… and hey, I’m an artist so I have an excuse to throw out these crazy things. So what is this song you may ask?  Jason Reeves “Someone Somewhere”  Click here to listen for free. Please listen to it as you scroll through these… maybe you’ll see why… ORRR, maybe you’ll think I’m nutz.  Whatever… just go listen to it.:D

PS. Many of you know that I’m a VERY picky eater… Jess and Brett talked me into eating at a Thai restaurant… and guess what…. I LIKED IT!!!!  ANNNND… it was the SAME place that Brett asked Jess’ dad for his permission to marry his daughter. HOW COOOL IS THATTTT?!

PPS. They have FOUR kids…WOWZERS TO THAT!  I want to meet them… if they’re ANYTHING like their parents I bet they’re balls of energy!

 

 

Jess wanted a photo with us:DHOW COULD YOU NOT… WE’RE RIDICULOUSLY GOOOOD LOOOOOKING! ;)  As we were all heading to dinner I realized that we’d forgotten, EEEKS!  SO, after dinner we shot this under the street light. ROCK ON!  Brett had the longest arms of all of us… so he got the job:)

These were taken back in May when we were in St Maarten to photograph Lauren and Matt’s super fun wedding.   I took a photo every 2 seconds as we landed… it was CRAZY!  People RIGHT THERE on the beach… AHHHH!!!!

jackie+bryan

 

No one can pull off the windswept look quite like Jackie… :)  (Though at the end of the blog entry, you'll see me trying! HA!)

 

 

 

 

 

 HOW CUUUUUUTE IS EMMAAAAAAAAAAA?!

 

 

 

 

 

:)

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't she look like Willa Ford?!  I called her that all day!!!! "WILLA FORD'S WORKIN' IT OUTTTT!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bryan LOVES that dog!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is so him.  Love it.

 

 

 

 

 

 Here we're heading from Jackie and Bryan's loft to the ceremony site… They stopped for a little wine and each bridesmaid gave a toast… it was full of memories, laughs and tears and it was perfect.:) 

 

 

 

 

 

 Emma looking adoooooorable! GO FIGURE!:D

 

 

 

 

 

ST ST ST STUNNING!

 

 

 

 

 

Then it was the guys turn… what a fun group of guys!

 

 

 

 

 

Uhm… I have no words for this beauty!  That shot on the right is my FAVORITE bridal shot I've EVER taken.  Yeah… I went there.:!:

 

 

 

 

 

 Here comes the bride…

 

 

 

 

 

On the way from the ceremony to the reception hall… I rode in the front seat.  That car was so amazing. Another favorite:!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COMING SOON!:D

 

 

 

 

Mmmm…. I'm hungry!

 

 

 

 

 

During their fathers' speech…

 

 

 

 

 

The Indiana Roof Ballroom has SUCH awesome lighting!

 

 

 

 

 

 The band Xanadu (which was OFF THE HOOOOK AMAZING) announced that their mother/son dance was going to be "Mustang Sally" and then said… "this is definitely a first and we can tell right now it's going to be a hell of a party!"  ANNNND>.. he was right!

So yes yes yes… here's Bryan dancing with his Momma to MUSTANG SALLY!  How fun is that?!

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm… guess who's pregnant?!:D

 

 

 

 

 

Again… there are no words for the awesomeness that is that ring… WOWWWWWWZAS!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 Bryan with his brother Erik… Mike's favorite:?:

 

 

 

 

 

DANCING MACHINE!

 

 

 

 

YAHOO!

 

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  Jackie and Bryan are one in a million.  They're such an awesome couple with fun friends, sweet families and MAD dance skills:)

I remember during one of the speeches someone said, "Jackie is perfect for Bryan because she can keep up with his dancing."  I laughed… and didn't think much more of it UNTILLLLL I saw that man dance…. it's SO fun to watch him bust a move.  Bryan is one of the most full of energy people we've EVER met.  He doesn't stop moving!  Being around him just makes you smile.  

Jackie OHHHHH Jackie… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!  She's flipping GORGEOUS!!!!  She's perfect.  Everything about her is everything that I wish I could be.  Know anyone like that?  She's funny, caring, sweet, genuine, beautiful, patient… I could go on and on…:D

The fathers' speech had me in some serious tears… they had it prerecorded with a perfectly timed slideshow playing over their voices.   Dennis and Florencio (the dads) stood up, welcomed everyone and then explained why it was prerecorded.  Dennis said that it would have been too tough to get through it otherwise "What can I say, I just love my kids." :)  It really was so perfect.  

My favorite part of the day?  Watching how he looked at her as though no one else was in the room. Yeah.. pretty cool. 

Thank you, thank you, thank YOUUUUUU for EVERYTHING!

LOOOOOVE!

 The makeup artist showing Stephani how to pucker so that she can apply blush. :)  It made me giggle.

 

 

 

 

 

 This was one Stephani's highlights of the day… she was SOOO excited about her panties with the "veil on the butt!"  Stephani, you're adorable!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE YOUR SMILE! Sorry I'm so funny!;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite groomsmen shots ever. Mikey's favorite:?:

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stephani had a hard time fitting the ring over Ryan's knuckle :) 

 


 

 

 

 A little Charlie's Angels action:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We found some amazing locations… all within a five minute walk from the reception site.  Gosh.. these two really were up for anything and we LOVE that!

 

 

 

 

 

Who's—-Whose?  Hmm?:D

 

 

 

 

 

See, told you they were up for anything!  This was ALLLL Stephani's idea and I got excited! She said, "want me to climb up there?"

My response… "Uhm… only if you want to and you're comfortable with it." 

"Would it make a cool picture?" She said.

"ABSOLUTELY!"

I'm guessing they're four feet up off the ground… WOWWWWW!!!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite.. I LOOOOVE the colors!:!:

 

 

 

 

 

Who needs a bubble machine when you have these guys?!  How CUUUUTE is this???!?!?!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH SO HAPPPPPY!

 

 

 

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Stephani and Ryan really did have SUCH an amazing day full of great friends, lots of laughs, and gorgeous weather!

Stephani is one of the most laid back, up for anything girls I've EVER met!  As we were out shooting bridal portraits and bridesmaids shots she kept saying… "don't worry about the dress… I'm only going to wear it once!"  She genuinely would have done anything as long as it "made for a good picture."  How lucky did we get?!  I mean… even though she said that, we still treated her dress with the same respect we treat all dresses:DI would never ask anyone to do something that I wouldn't be willing to do myself in MY wedding dress:)

OHHHH MY GOSHHHHH Ryan is SOOOO funny! He makes me laugh LAUGH LAUGHHHH!!!!! And when he's with his brother Scott, it's even worse… the two of them together… I can't control myself.  I swear to you my abs hurt the next day from laughing so hard the day before.  Speaking of Scott… this is the third wedding he's been in that we've photographed.  First, he was an usher back in 2006 (there, he was famously named on our blog back then "Usher of the Year") then in 2007 he was promoted to a groomsman now in 2008 he's hit the big time… he was the BEST MAN!  

YOU GUYS ROCKKKKK!!!!

LOVE!
