I’ve been SO excited to show you these:)

 

Meet Kaila and Jon of Corner Cafe Photography:)

 

 

Kaila is stunning…

 

Mike busted out our rarely used 16-35.

 

Every married couple needs photos like these… More on this later…

 

Jon = RIDICULOUSLY HANDSOME!  PS. for you Heroes fans out there… doesn’t he look look Zachary Quinto? (AKA Sylar)  For those who are new to this blog… I LOVE playing the “what famous person do you look like?” game:DI’m kind of amazing at it…;)

 

HOW’D HE DO THAT?! Yeah, this is awesome. Mike, you’re awesome.:)His favorite:?:

 

Then we went to a little unmowed area in a Target parking lot:)

 

 

per.fec.tion.

 

KAILA!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDDDDDDDING ME?! You have THE MOST beautiful eyes in the history of eyes!! w.o.w.

 

 

 

favorite.:!:Perfectly peaceful. So in love. Canvas time!

 

:)

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. I met Kaila at a little photography speaking thing I did earlier this year…:)(Yeah, I’m kind of a big deal!;)) When she approached me about photos… I COULD NOT WAIT to photograph those blue eyes! Oh, and let me tell you… they did NOT let me down!;)

Kaila and Jon are such beautiful people… both inside and out.  They love each other so incredibly much… being around them made me want to snuggle it up with my husband.

Truth be told… these two were disappointed with their own wedding photos (not to worry, we didn’t take them!)… and with thoughts of having children of their own in the future… they wanted to someday show their kids “how much we were in love.” Isn’t that the neatest thing ever?  I would have LOVED to have photos like this of my parents as young adults before I was around… wouldn’t you?!

So… why do we only get photos taken when we’re engaged, or married, or have kids? For me personally, after 6+ years of marriage, our love has grown stronger… we’re completely different people now…. It’s a better time than ever for a photo session. And yeah yeah yeah, we’re guilty of it too… but, we’re working on that:)

Kaila and Jon… I cannot thank you enough for asking us to do this… it was an amazing evening…

Love:)

Now you know…:)You can imagine the kind of looks passing cars were giving us!

See the tattoo? The other hand says "K-I-N-G" So fun…:D

 

 i LOVE how happy she is here! For you out there who've seen the "veil" moment before… this is the "OH MY GOSH… I'M REALLY A BRIDE" face:D

 

 …meanwhile…

 

 

 MEGHAN! You were a STUNNING bride!:D

 

 2 guesses as to what I was saying here… first one doesn't count:D

 

 GORRRRRGEOUS!

 

 This placed used to be an orphanage… 

 

 For the record, it wasn't our idea for them to climb that wall… but when they did… I wasn't mad about it!:D

 

 You're handsome Matt. :D  BTW, for you Colts fans out there… doesn't Matt look like Dallas Clark?!

 

 WACKY BOBBI STRIKES AGAIN!!!!

 

 GAH! I love this!:DMeet Meghan's dad…

 

 Trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on in the lobby…

 

 This was the face he made RIGHT before she walked down the aisle. Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 These little ones COULD NOT sit still… the one almost looking at us… she kept sliding down the stairs belly first… you can guess what her dress was doing!:D

 

WE'RE MARRIED!!!!!!

 

 

 I kept singing, "I stop to see a weeping willow… crying on it's pillow… maybe it's crying for meeeeee" if you know what that is, I'm impressed!:DAlso… if you know what that is… I bet your mom is just like mine! Anyway… Mike, of course, would make smartass comments like, "ohhh… not only is she a photographer, she's quite melodious, too!"

 

 WOOOOO!!!!!!

 

 Canvas? Yes.

 

 LOVE the vintage feel of this! For you photographers out there… I have three words, "EMBRACE THE GRAIN!" I don't understand why so many are scared of it… I LOVE how classic photos like this are… Just sayin'. My favorite:!:

 

 Meghan and Matt have two wiener dogs… so THIS was their cake topper. (BTW, that might be the first time I've ever used the word "wiener" on our blog:))

 

 L.O.V.E.T.H.I.S!

 

 and yes yes yes… the newest craze in wedding receptions… THE PHOTO BOOTH!

 

NORMAL, Ill.  Meghan and Matt are such the perfect couple… I say that because, as I wrote in their engagement entry… their relationship is VERY similar to Mike and I! So, yes yes yes… of course I think it's perfect!  She's fiesty, hilarious and full of personality!  Matt… he's a go-with-the-flow, patient, ridiculously sweet guy.  See! Don't those characteristics remind you of us?! Well, if you know us.:DMeghan has her own photography biz and Matt second shoots. At one point (the sun was pretty much gonezo) I was moving at lightning speed… and when I'm in that mode Mike knows EXACTLY what I need before I even ask for it, and he's usuallly RIGHT there waiting with it:DOH he's the BEST BEST BEST second shooter in the worrrrrld! Anyway…  As Meghan was watching these exchanges she said, "it's like I'm looking at us!"

Their wedding day was nothing short of amazing! From the well-planned details, the hilarious bridal party, the family that loves them SO much, to the perfect timeline… everything was awesome.:D

Meghan and Matt… thank you thank you thank you for EVERYTHING!

Love,

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

PS. These two got married in October. SEE! Told you that October was the month for Meghan/Megan and Matts! :) 

Yep, it's that time.  Click here for their slide show.  The user name is Meghan's maiden name and the password is Matt's last name.  You'll find a link to the full gallery on the slide show page as well.  Enjoy!

 

:D

 

 I'm only showing you this one because… in my OH SO humble opinion… I was having an amazing hair day! :D 

 

 CAPTION THIS PHOTO! I don't remember what we were saying here… but the looks on our faces are hilarious to me!

 

 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

 HOT TAMALES!

 

Bobbi's pretty dancing face strikes again!

It appears that I'm getting funky with the groom… however…  Yes, I'm THAT short… and yes, he's THAT tall…:D

:!:+:?:

high fives to our vets!

me… in basic training:)

 

 

 Under that tree… on the right… me as "student first sergeant." It really meant that I just yelled out commands in an awkwardly high pitched voice. (for our past bride/grooms… now you know where I learned my family photo rallying skills!)

 

SO intimidating.

 

 My battle buddies and me… these are the two girls that I roomed with through all of advanced training. In the middle, that's PVT Frankie Raspotnik in the bed above me… she could sleep through ANYTHING.  On the right, that's Kelsi O'Keefe… aka OKEEEEEFEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! We were BEST friends…in that photo we were "PVT too cool and PVT oh so cool" Man oh man… we thought we were HILARIOUS! Still do:)

 

 

To be completely honest, I feel silly for even posting these photos… I was one of the very few people who, in my time in the military, never went overseas.  In today's military, it's a rarity to meet someone who hasn't, and almost a right of passage. I have such a huge amount of respect for you guys. So many have died, so many injured… to you and your families we owe our freedom, thank you.

Many of you already knew this… but, if you didn't know… I was in the Indiana Army National Guard:)The photos above are from basic and advanced training.  Truth be told, the Guard just wasn't for me.:DBut, I did it for six years… and proud to say that I did.

So, to ANY and ALL soldiers out there… HIGH FIVES TO YOU! And blog readers, if you happen upon a soldier or a vet, be sure to throw a high five:)(TRUST ME… they're motivating!)

Meet the RIDICULOUSLY talented photographers of Nickel City Studios, Alyssa and Rich… and their RIDICULOUSLY adorable son Murphy:D

 

 I love this family:)

 

 This is SOOOOO Murphy… he's famous for this little expression:D

 

 …but I wasn't having it :D 

 

 WACKY BOBBI STRIKES AGAIN!!!

 

:D

 

 GAH!!!!! Crazy about this one:D

 

 F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E!:!:AYKM??!?!!!?

 

:D

 

 Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 Alyssa and Rich… you two have the perfect kid:)Just do…

 

ORRRRR… Maybe THIS is my favorite….:!:

 

BUFFALO, NY. For those of who follow me on Twitter you may remember an update a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG time ago about a husband and wife who each emailed me separately (within 12 hours of each other) about surprising the other with a session…:DWell… that couple is Alyssa and Rich.  I don't remember how the surprise was figured out… but, in the end… it wasn't a surprise at all… and regardless of the lack of surprise… it was perfecto!  I asked if they had talked about it the night before they both had emailed me… the answer… no… they had discussed it a year prior.  Isn't it neat (yet crazy) how in a marriage we become so incredibly connected?

Enough about them… let's talk about the perfection that is Murphy! ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH ALL OF THAT CUTENESS?! He was one of the most well behaved, full-of-personality, hilarious kids we've ever photographed:D

Rich, if we ever get to photograph your family again, PLEEEEEEEASE wear the "AYKM?!" shirt :D 

Much love to you all.
