 This photo makes me want to get back into my wedding dress and feel that same excitement.  I have so many favorites from this wedding.. so be warned.  Here's one of 'em.

 

 

 

 

 

 Andrea, you're stunning.  It's a little overwhelming sometimes…

 

 

 

 

 

On her way to say "I do."  Another favorite :!:  Mikey's fave, too

 

 

 

 

 

 A few words with dad right before the walk down the aisle.  See told you this post would make you smile.  You all owe me $5 for the aforementioned bet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

 

 

 

 

 Those smiles are 100% genuine 100% of the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 And go figure… the perfect bridal party. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I was taking a photo of Travis when I noticed Andrea in the background being cute as can be… So, I took three steps backwards and framed her in.  It was totally a candid moment… it's just Andrea being her adorable self.

 

 

 

 

 

 Travis' only request.  And I'm SO glad he requested it!  HELLOOOOOO BLUE EYES!

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't that make you smile?!  That's another $5 please.

 

 

 

 

 

 The Scottish Rite is RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING! ANOTHER favorite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So guess who crashed the party?! PURDUE PETE!  Afterall… that's where they metHOW PERFECT was this?!  Jeannie, Andreas mom surprised everyone with this move.  Only Mike and I along with the DJ knew he was coming.  

 

 

 

 

 

 Here was their reaction. Pete entered as the DJ played the fight song… It was perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 Andreas mom and dad.  I love love love this.

 

 

 

 

 

 So that guy… a DEAD ringer for Will Ferrell (he could even quote his movies, it was CRAZY)!  His girlfriend on the left… a DEAD ringer for Kiera Knightly.  You guys know I LOVE the "what famous person do you look like" game.  I was excited to see a new celebrity couple!

 

 

 

 

 

A light up microphone in one hand and a glass of wine in the other… It's so Travis and we LOOOOOVE IT!

 

 

 

 

 

 Yeah… I'm up to at LEAST $15 from each and everyone of you… Final favorite

 

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  We will never ever everrrrrr forget this amazing day for the rest of our liiiiives!

OHHHHHHHHHH ANDREA AND TRAVIS…. YOU'RE ONE IN A MILLION!!!!

Made for each other would be putting it lightly… because seriously… These two are like peanut butter and jelly, like cookies and milk, like uhm… I can't think of another one… You get the idea… They're the PERFECT combination. 

Andrea's full of pure joy and it exudes in everything about her.  Her excitement, happiness, energy, enthusiasm, zest… yes, I said zest… is 100% genuine.  I wish that I could be more like her. :)  I wish the whole world could be more like her.  Just thinking about her makes me happy… makes me want to go hug someone.  Wow, that was sort of random.  Maybe if you know her… you understand what I mean. 

Travis, too…. is an awesome person.  He lives his life so fully.  He knows what he wants… and I love that about him.  We found out sometime in the night that Travis called his best friend soon after their first date when Travis told him that he had found the person he was going to marry. He was 18 or 19 then… and he knew.  Are you kidding me with that?! Man oh man.. that gives me goosebumps.

Told you they were like peanut butter and jelly!

EVERYTHING about their day was magic…. can't you tell?! GAHHHH I WANNA GO BACK!!!!!!

To all of the families…. a special thanks for making us feel so welcome.  After meeting all of you, I know exactly why these two are such exceptional people :)  Wow… I'm smiling the BIG smile right now.  

Andrea and Travis, thank you, thank you thank youuuuuu for being you… and asking us to well… you know, do what we do.   BIG BIG BIG SMILES!

WE LOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

 Guess where the best man is.

 

 

 

 

 

 Shut it!  

My view…

 

 

 

 

 

Mikey's view…

 

 

 

 

 

The final touches on his speech…

 

 

 

 

 

how cute is she?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Their wedding was on National Talk Like a Pirate Day… I was crouched down next to Melanie… getting a wide shot when Melanie whispers… "hey Bobbi…"  I look up and see THAT!  I quickly snapped a photo.

 

 

 

 

 

Their wedding took place about a week after the remains of Hurricane Ike rolled over Cincinnati. Justin and Kelly had plans of taking their photos at this park that was right down the road from their church.  As we pulled up we noticed these barriers were up.  "THE PARK IS CLOSED!"  No worries… we'll park the bus at bottom of the hill and make it happen RIGHT here!   THEY WORKED IT OUT in front of those barriers!!! DOWN WITH THE MAN!!!!  One of my favorite full bridal party shots ever

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly, I love your smile.

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure why I think this is funny… but I do.. so laugh, okay

 

 

 

 

 

Justin took Mike's camera for a bit while I was shooting bridal portraits… So, on the left.. his photo.  On the right, him TAKING the photo on the left

 

 

 

 

 

You all know how much I love the relationship between a father and his daughter.  This photo captures it perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 I bet this will be Justin's favorite photo. 

 

 

 

 

 

Man oh man I canNOT remember the song that she danced to but it was SO STINKIN' CUUUUTE!  She had a little dance she did… the floor cleared and everyone circled around and cheered her on.  It was perfect in every way.

 

 

 

 

 

 BLING BLINGG!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These Cinci men have a tradition of going into the mens bathroom and toasting the groom… Until that day… I was the only girl who had ever witnessed it.  Kelly came in at the end and joined in on the fun.  She exclaimed, "this is it?! this is dumb!" HA!  A favorite

 

 

 

CINCINNATI, Ohio.  YAHOOOOOOOSKI!!!!!! Another SUPER fun Cincinnati wedding… I always say that I love how we walk into most weddings and are treated like old friends… with this group it's TRUE… we really ARE old friends.  Well…not OLD friends… but you know what I mean…

Kelly and Justin are an incredibly laid back, go with the flow kind of couple… and I LOOOOVE that about them!  As I mentioned earlier… the park that they planned for their photos was blocked off… never once did they get upset… and honestly, I don't think it could have worked out any more perfectly.  

I found out sometime that day how they met… they both worked at the same restaurant. :D  Any of you guys out there ever work in the food service industry?  When you wait tables… your entire social life surrounds the people that you work with.   Furthermore… stereotypically, the kind of person who waits tables usually has a pretty strong personality… so you hang out with people you're like ALLLLL of the time.  They REALLY are the perfect match!

Justin is HILARIOUS… he's so squirly and silly.  Kelly is as sweet as can be… she's always smiling… and she's just so wonderful to be around.

Their bridal party… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I FLIPPING LOVE THEM!!!!!!  There are still a few single ones left, too… so, that means we're still in business! WHEW! :) 

We genuinely canNOT thank you guys enough for asking us to be there to photograph your biggest day.  It's a HUGE honor and we LOVE LOVE LOVE being a part of your lives… Go figure, I'm getting teary eyed. WTH have I been so emotional lately as I write these… I guess I just can't believe this really is our job… to spend the best day of your life with you… and see it from every angle. Ohhh… it's late and I'm getting cheesier by the second… I'm going to shut up now.

Back to the thanks… YOU GUYS ROCK!

LOOOOOOOOVE!

The photo with us.  I love seeing all of the big genuine smiles. Makes me happy.  It motivates me.
