Heather and Brian got married on a remote island. The morning of their wedding, all of the ladies took a raft out to that island…. I have to admit it was a bit scary… but we were all feeling OH SO adventurous! I love this photo because it's the two mommas:D

 

….she sounded just like Joni Mitchell… and it was exactly what was needed to calm everyone's nerves.

 

 Doesn't THAT look like the BEST place to be!? SIGN ME UP!!!!!

 

 Do you see what I see?!

 

 

 

 CHEERS!

 

 HELLOOOOOOO NURSE!!!!;)

 Meanwhile back with the guys….:D

I'd call this efficient!

 

 Brian LOVED taking photos with our cameras:)That's Brian on the left taking the photo on the right:D

 

 

 

 He stood at this balcony and kept going over/memorizing his vows.

 

  He reminds me of Gaston… you know, the hottie from Beauty and the Beast….

 

POOR BRIAN!!!!!! He's being beaten up by an infant!!!!!!

 

 

 

 so incredibly sweet.:)

 

 I want to get married there!!!!!!!

 

"this ring has no beginning and no end…."

 

 KISS DE BRIDE!

 

 You guys know we LOOOOOOOVE the recessional shot:D

 

 Oh, I'm not mad that you're so damn sexy! My favorite:!:

 

 

 THIS was the dessert!!!!! Brownie mountains:)YUM!!!

 

 There were some FUNNY moments during those speeches!

 

 YAHOOOOOOOSKI!

 

:)

 

 Brian, PLEASE remind us what song you're singing here…. 

Doesn't it look like he has backup singers?!

 

 And nope nope nope…. an island wedding wouldn't be complete without FIRE DANCERS! ARE YOU KIDDDDDDDING ME?! FIRE DANCERS!??!!?!!!

 

 LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY GOT!!!!!!! It was AMAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!

 

 Mikey getting artsy fartsy with the flash:)Isn't it cool?!  It's Mikey's favorite:?:

 

PUERTA VALLARTA, MEXICO We would LOVE to specialize in destination weddings…. I shouldn't really have to explain why…. it's obvious, right!? Amazing weather, incredible people, beautiful colors, RIDICULOUS light and well…. it's not Indiana.:DGosh we had a blast!!!!

We IMMEDIATELY felt like Heather and Brian were our best friends… as though we'd known them for YEARS!!!!!! The very first night we were there, we met up…. and STAYED up until like 2 in the morning (even though we were meeting for an engagement the next day at 6:30AM!) Brian and Mike are ESPECIALLY alike, too.  For example at one point throughout the weekend, I said to Brian, "you're so competitive, you just love to win!" He quickly corrected me… "no, Bobbi, I just love to be right!" For those of you who know Mikey you know that THAT IS SOOOOOO MIKE!!!!!!!!!  Anyway… not only did they let us into their inner circle within minutes… their families were incredible to us. :)  The second day we were there we were invited to dinner with the whole gang.  Are you kidding me?! Oh, and not to mention their amazing group of friends… Clearly Heather and Brian are the best of the best of the best… because EVERYONE that they're surrounded with are such phenomenal people!  We didn't at ALL feel like vendors… we were just old friends with fancy cameras. YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!!

Okay… wow… that was a long paragraph!!!!!

Anyway… their day was nothing short of perfect… These two ROCKED out at planning a wedding thousands of miles away… you would have thought that it was a local wedding because everything ran so smoothly! Also, big props to the on-site wedding coordinator:)She was ON TOP of things!!!!!:DThe day started out with the bridesmaids 45 minute seal team excursion on the inflatable raft (see the first photo) FOLLOWED BY everyone getting massages…. and Heather relaxing in the hottub.:)Not a bad way to start your wedding if you ask me :D  The guys came over to the island later on a HUGE party boat…. needless to say, Brian was quite the entertainer on that boat:DThen of course… their ceremony… GAHHHH!!!! It was SOOOO perfect!!!!! Easily my favorite part of the day.  These two are just so genuine and in love…. their vows… OH their vows… GAHHHHH!!!!! I'm tearing up just thinking about it!:)Then of course… the tiki-torch lit reception complete with firedancers.  Seriously SO SO SO perfecto!!!!!

Thank you guys for flying us down to Mexico to share in such a perfect and unique day :D 

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!

 I remember Lauren (of openField) wearing a flower in her hair when she went to Hawaii for a destination wedding… So I thought it would be fun to wear one for ours!:DANNNND… I'm SO thankful I did because it's the ONLY saving grace to the FRIZZZZTASTIC mop that's on my head!!!!! I'm not sure I could ever live in a humid climate because my hair just can't hang. HOWEVER…. aren't we all so cute?! PS. I'm wearing my Invisaligns in that shot, can you tell!?:)

 Yes yes yes…. what many of you have been waiting for…. our AMAAAAAZING couple that got married in Mexico:)Mikey's favorite:?:

 

This was taken in front of a school:)We happened to peek in and see a bunch of little girls in gym class doing arm circles… it was SO STINKIN' cute!!!!!! (I realize that without a visual, it doesn't seem very cute, but I assure you… it was!)

 Puerto Vallarta is such a colorful place:)

 

 

YESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!

 

 

 

 Heather, you're stunning.

 

This one makes me want to snuggle:)(and I'm ALWAYS looking for an excuse for that!)

 

 

 

 

 Hello mop!

 

 

 

 Brian bought her these shoes…. Yeah, what good taste he has!!!!!

 

 

 

 I so love everything about this photo…. see the taxi driver looking over at them like… "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?!" Then the two people in the background who appear to be trying to get out of the way… but the BEST part about this photo?! The hotness that's in the bottom right:)

 

PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO So a couple of days before Heather and Brians wedding, we explored downtown Puerto Vallarta to grab some fun engagement photos.  I just want to say that of all of the places we've visited…. we've never felt so safe as a tourist.:)It's such an incredible place with amazing colors, culture and character.  AHHHHH I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!

I remember at one point Heather said to us, "we're having such a great time… it's just so romantic and sweet to be able to spend this time with Brian" I'm DEFINITELY paraphrasing that as she said it much more eloquently… but whatever… you get the idea:)That's the best compliment ever:DCHECK AND MARK!

More of these two coming VERY SOOOOON!!!:)

Love!
