AYKM with those blueeeee eyes?!

COCAAAAAAAA COLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (Corrie… that was for you! Inside joke… please ignore)

My HILAAAAAARIOUS JOKES!

I can't get over this. Dave, you look SO handsome! You see… he JUST got this car a week before… and was SO excited about it! So yesyesyes… we got some photos with it :D Mikey's favorite

My favoriteThis is the Dave I know and adore!

Back to that car. YEAHHH!

OOOOOKAY! So, two things here. The photo on the left… Deb (AKA Mom) was carrying around that guitar for him when he wasn't using it in the photo. I looked over at her and couldn't quit giggling… she just looked SO dang cute! So I thought it would be funny to get a picture of her with it looking like a rockstar… Dave agreed…

The photo on the right, HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You know those big foam letters… the kind that read your graduation year.. and nearly every senior has them in their senior pictures? Well, we were laughing about that when Dave held up his hands in a one and zero for a photo and I about LOST IT! I look to my right and I see Deb and BAM… I KNEW what our next photo was going to beSOOO… yes yes yes… Congratulations to Dave on graduating in '10!Please tell me you're laughing… because to us, it's hilarious! And to Deb, thanks for being a good sport… you're such a fun mom!

LAFAYETTE, Ind. I've known Dave since he was 16… you see, we took their family photos 2 years ago and fell in LOVE with all of themSo, when it came time for Dave's senior year… they didn't have an option… they were GOING to call Mike and I for his senior pictures! YEAHYEAHYEAH!

When we showed up and Dave got out of his brand new car… I about fell over. "YOU ARE SO GROWN UP!" I shouted! Man oh man I'm getting old when I start seeing teenagers and am blown away by their adulthood… ANYWAY… I just COULD NOT believe how different he looked than just three years ago, CRAZY!

Dave, I SO cannot wait to see what these next few years hold for you! You're one of the sweetest, most caring, most unique young men we've ever met…. and when I'm around you, I genuinely cannot wipe the smile off of my face. You're the real deal.

Love to you… and you're crazy fun family!

Meet the awesome kristi+kyle

they met playing volleyball… at THIS volleyball court

I love evvvvery single thing about this image. It's my favorite

I know you guys are sick of me talking about this… But I LOVE morning sessions. Look at that LIGHT!

She walked out of that crazy field with that thing saying "I feel like Bob Barker, 'help control the pet populations… have your pet spayed or neutered'…" I think I almost peed my pants laughing so hard.

THEN a quickie little outfit change and into town. Mikey's favorte

Canvas? Yes.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. I love couples who make a real effort in picking a location that's special to their story…. and that's exactly what they did with the volleyball court spot.You see… as previously mentioned… that's where they met. They were playing beach volleyball and on opposite teams when a ball hit Kristi right in the face (picture "Meet the Fokkers")… so why would a volleyball to the face bring love? Well… you see… Kristi, according to Kyle, didn't respond like most girls would… she laughed it off, and kept playing (I would have been like most girls and cried like a little baby!). WELLLLLLL… that very much impressed Kyle… and the rest is history! How much do you love that story?!

You guys are the best best best… can't WAIT until April

Love

~bobbi+mike+

So, why am I laughing so hard while carrying those barrels (which I took back when we were finished)? Because Kyle looked at me and said, "You look like you're in one of those Strong Man Competitions" And… he's right… I DID!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Maybe you had to be there, but I assure you… it was hilarious!

Nicole, you make me smile

Another view of Mom helping

CHECK OUT THOSE SHOES!!!! Hey Nicole, who made them? I know people are going to ask

love this…

HELLOOOOOO INDIANAPOLIS!

My favorite!Images like these always make me want to jump in the photo!

BRING IT IN TIIIIIGHT!

I put this one up just for you Nicole! "STOP FOR LOOOOOVE!!!!" hahahahahaaaa!

AYKM with that BEAUTY?!

The signing of the Ketubah. Click here if you don't know what that is…

If this image doesn't make you smile, I don't know what can!

That image on the left…. Nicole's heart was beating so fast… and she was trying to calm herself downIt's also Mikey's favorite imageShe seemed completely shocked by her own reaction and kept putting her hand over her heart to see if it was for realOne of my favorite things about the way Mike and I shoot is that I get to stay with the bride right before she walks down the aisle while Mike is shooting the processional.

I can't remember exactly what this tradition is… but it's something like the bride and groom are covered in a blanket to signify and honor the people who were no longer with them. I can tell you this, there wasn't a dry eye in the house…

KISS DE BRIDE!

Nicole's cousin sang to them at the beginning of the reception… she sang "Real Love" by the Beatles. It was incredible!

TOMATO BLINNNNG!

Mikey's view… PS. check out the Nike swoosh on his yarmulke… HAHAHAH!

My view

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nicole and Ari… OH how we just LOVE LOVE LOVE you two!!!!!

They're made for one another, they really and truly are! Nicole is sweet as pie, incredibly sincere and full of life. Ari is genuine, totally hilarious and quite the smartass… and we love it! Together, they compliment each other beautifully. Jewish tradition requires that they see each other prior to the official walk down the aisle for both the signing of the Ketubah and the Bedeken. So, when Ari first saw Nicole he walked up and said something along the lines of "you're standing there all dramatically… and I almost lost my sh*t." Nicole laughed while wiping tears from her eyes. It was so perfectHe later said that seeing her for the first time was something that he'd never forget… ever

Nicole looked beautiful, AYKM??!?!!! From her makeup to the dress… she was flawless. Here's something I've never seen beforeShe had her hair and makeup team stay until after the ceremony so that she could have her hair changed up just a bit… isn't that a fun idea?! They also touched up her makeup so that she was fresh for the reception. GENIUS!

As you can see from the images, the entire day was full of awesomeWe truly cannot thank you two enough for sharing your family, friends, traditions and amazing day with us :D

LOVE!

Don't those heels look comfortable? I just GoogledHere they are… (and to my graphic designer friends re: their logo… bevel and emboss called, and they want their filter back… please leave it in 2001! Okay… I'm being a jerk… shushing now.) AYKM to that amazing dress?!??!?

A tip to make your photos betterIf you can get ready in an area with lots of windows, DO IT! For us, natural light is ALWAYS better than artificial

BRING IT IN TIIIIIGHT!

THERE'S THE CLAW!!!!!More on that later…

first sightMikey's favorite

We shot all of the photos that happened before their ceremony on the church grounds, where, as many photographers are quite familiar with… you work with what you have and make it amazing!I looked over at Laura and said… "I have a quirky idea, you down?"

She laughed… "I love it!"

HA!

LAURA…. YOU'RE BEAUUUUUUUTIFULLLL!!!!

Here they are RIGHT after the ceremony.

I haven't seen a rose petal tossing in years! Why don't more people do this?! It's so beautiful!!!!! My favorite

Mike's on the left… mine on the rightMike wins.

Laura has a degree in literatureand they both love to read… perfecto centerpiece!

This was our first wedding at the Indianapolis Art Center… and I loved that they danced under the awning.

Such a proud dad…

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Laura and Brian are one in a million… and we are SO glad they chose us to photograph their awesome day.

More about the claw: they live in Montana… where they're quite adventurous.…adventurous enough to ride horses… and to falllll off a horse soon before their wedding! AHHHH!!!!!! As you can see, Laura broke her wrist… and broke it in such an interesting way that they had to put the cast on with her wrist bent… famously referred to as "The Claw"On our way to the church Laura joked that she can do an amazing "Thriller". WELLLLLLLL…. later that night as the dancing started I remembered that they were joking about it and I asked the DJ if he could squeeze it inNext thing you know, there's Laura out there with the best Thriller dance moves I've ever seenIt was awesome. I love that she took something that could have potentially ruined her day and made it a funny. :) Not only did she make it something that was funny… but she made it fashionable! Her seamstress made that little cover up… :) I guess a few weeks before, she had a full arm cast… and was so incredibly relieved that it went down to the size that it was for their wedding.

Laura and Brian, thank you for everything!

Much love!!!!
