INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. I find it so incredibly interesting how so many of our clients are very much like us.  I suppose that happens naturally when we both put so much of our personalities out there…

Ari is an American History teacher…. So, naturally… he and Mike could talk history for HOURS upon HOURS! In between shooting locations those two would start talking and I had to be the Betty and say… "alright guys… time to shoot again!"

Nicole and I uhm… were wearing matching jackets. Need I say more?! 

On the day of the session Nicole was talking about why she was attracted to certain wedding vendors… and I noticed a recurring theme as she was describing them… quirky, passionate and a bit crazy. So uhm… We'll take that as a compliment

MUCH love you two!!! We cannot WAIT to photograph your wedding SOOOOOON!

 See… TOLD you we were wearing matching jackets! That photo on the right was Ari COMPLETELY mocking me in how I direct people… and I couldn't stop laughing!  Oh, and don't mind the berry explosion on my shirt…that's what I get for laying on my belly in the woods

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Nathan REALLY is one of the happiest boy we've ever met.  If he got even 1% cranky, Jennifer would say, "turn the happy channel on" and it worked like a CHARM! He was giggling within SECONDS! I'm telling you, it was like a magic trick!  My FAVORITE thing that Nathan does is he "revs his engine." John asks him to do it and he'll stand STRAIGHT up and with FULLY dedicating himself to the task, his ENTIRE body tenses up, he grits his teeth, face scrunches up, and with FULL conviction yells "VROOOOOOOM!!!!!!" with air even coming out of his nose! It's awesome, I promise.

John is an ER doctor and Jennifer is a photographer based out of Lansing Michigan. YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!!

One thing you guys should know about our sessions… they're often pretty physical LOTS of lifting, stair climbing, wrestling, supermanning , swinging, etc, etc, etc.  I'm super curious John… were you sore the next day???

THAAAAAAANK YOU for asking us to photograph your family… You guys are just fantastic in every way!

MUCH LOVE

~bobbi+mike

 "turn your head THIS way" HA!

 Marisa MADE those little flowers for her shoes… it was the PERFECTO addition!

 HA!

 

 A little something I call, "WORKIN' IT OUT"

 

 AYKM with the BEAUTY that are these ladies?!

I love when a bride has both her parents walk her down the aisle.

 

This photo represents Marisa so well.

 

 KISS DE BRIDE!

 

 

 I try to always quickly follow the bride and groom right after the recessional to capture their first moments alone as husband and wife. THIS was what I saw when I turned the corner.  

 

 …I hurried to the other side and saw THIS! Mikey's favorite

 Who says you can't do the Cupid Shuffle and take photos at the same time?! BOOOOOYA!!!!!

 

 Marisa, PLEASE remind me what song they were singing to you!!  I love EVERYTHING about this photo!

 

NAPERVILLE, Ill. Marisa and Anthony are two of the most smilingest, genuine, full of life people we've ever EVER met.  As a matter of fact, as I was taking the usual badass photos of the guys… I asked him not to smile… it was nearly impossible for him!  Usually with guys… it's the exact opposite problem.  Their joy is so incredibly contagious… EVERYONE was in the BEST of spirits… the wedding party, the vendors, the guests… everyone! Just thinking about them has me with a HUGE smile on my face. Okay Okay… I'm sure you get the idea…

Marisa planned an incredible day… not ONE thing was overlooked. From her shoes (with the DIY flower) to the rosary (the beads were made of the dried roses from her grandmother's funeral)… everything was so perfect and so personal.  Don't you love showing up to someones wedding and feeling like you know them even better than you did before simply because of all of the little details??? YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!

To you two, your AMAZING friends and family… Thank you thank you THANK YOU for EVERYTHING! Let's hang out again soon, k?

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. BEST WEDDING DANCE WE'VE EVER WITNESSED…. EVERRRRRR!!!!!

So, Katie and Burny had been planning on having a surprise first dance… and had been planning it for a long time. Who knew that Burny does an AMAZING Michael Jackson… and THAT had been their planned rehearsed dance for MONTHS.  WELLLLLLLL… Michael Jackson died TWO days before their wedding.  So, Katie thought it wouldn't be a good idea to go through with it.  Burny, on the other hand… wasn't budging! He was ready to bust out his moon walk.  AND MOOOON WALK HE DID!!!!!!!  NO one knew it was coming… NO ONE!!!!! (well, we knew… but only because we had to be prepared). Not even the best man/maid of honor knew. 

Okay… so, I'm going to try to give you guys a play by play… and we all KNOW how AMAZING I am at this! (not) They did their first dance RIGHT as they were introduced (which is always my FAVORITE time for a first dance… as ALLLL of your guests are looking at you) and began to dance to "Nothing Fancy" by Dave Barnes.  Out of nowhere, Burny leaves and walks over to the DJ… I hear someone mutter behind me, "What the hell is he doing?!" Katie appears pissed.  Then the DJ says that Burny has a different idea for what their first dance should be… "Billie Jean" starts playing. Burny comes out of nowhere with a hat and sequins glove and busts out his best Michael Jackson dance moves! OH YES HE DID>>>> OH YESSSSS HE DID!!!!!! Katie, meanwhile is still appearing angry… hands on hips with a scowl.  About halfway through Billie Jean, we see her storm over to the DJ.  Again, I hear muttering behind me, "ohhh she's mad… she's going to stop the music!" The DJ then says that Katie wants him to play a different song. "The Way You Make Me Feel" starts playing.  Katie starts dancing with Burny… the crowd FINALLY realizes that it's all been planned.    I wish you all could have seen it!  Oh wait… there's a video of it!  CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!  

I have to say that though Katie feared that maybe the timing was off with their dance happening just two days after the death of Michael Jackson… but really… it was such an awesome homage.  And the crowd loved every second of it.

Katie and Burny, we canNOT thank you enough for EVERYTHING!!!!!! You're the best best best BEST!

Love
