allison+gavin

 

 Nothing like a little go-carting the morning of your wedding! Allison was SO worried about Gavin… she knew they had to wear helmets and neck braces and was just sure that he was going to break his neck!

 

 …knowing this was such a big concern to Allison… Mike and Gavin thought this would be HILARIOUS! Gavin was so excited to show Allison these…:D

 

 A team photo.

 

 Allison's lost like 40ish pounds…has been avid gym goer… stuck to Weight Watchers religiously.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME with that sexiness?!  That collar bone?! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!!!! I'm jealous!!!!!!

 

do I spot something blue…;)

 

 Blingidy bling bling bling!

 

 

 LOVE this moment! 

 

 AYKM?!??! SEEEEEERIOUSLY ALLISON!!!! You're SO flipping BEAUUUUTIFULLLL!!! One of my MANY favorites!:!:

 

 

 thank you hot bridesmaids.:)

 

 LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PHOTO!!!!!!

 

 OHHHH how I ADORE men in TUXES!!!! That photo on the right… that's Gavin with his brothers.:)HOT TAMALES!!!!

 

 Lizzi's job was to make sure that Allison and Gavin didn't see each other before the ceremony… here she is showing us her intimidation tactics. It worked… there were ABSOLUTELY no pre-ceremony sightings! For the "GET MARRIED LIKE A CHAMPION TODAY" sign… knowing that the wedding took place in Notre Dame land (South Bend) might explain it a little better:)

 

 Favorite number two!:!:

 

That photo on the left is my view…

 

 And here's Mikey's:)His favorite:?:

 

 The shot on the right… FAVORITE NUMBER THREEEEEEE!!!!!:!:

 

 I'm just SO crazy about you two!

 

 Anna, you're gorgeous, k?

 

 HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I think this was the part of the day that Gavin was most excited about!  Allison was attempting to schmooze Gavin with a kiss while trying to sneak in some more cake… he was having none of it.:D

 

 Nothing like a little father/daughter sweetness to end a blog entry…

 

SOUTH BEND, Ind. I'm speechless… I feel like anything I say will not be able to put into words the fabulousness that is Allison and Gavin… and their amazing wedding day. Allison and Gavin are the type of people who as soon as you meet them, you feel like you've known them for years.  We felt like old friends who were there as guests… who happened to have really nice cameras;)

Okay… so the ABSOLUTE FUNNNNNNIEST thing happened…. that I'm guessing is a wedding photographer first.:)If you follow me on Twitter… you may have seen a tweet a few weeks ago that read, "The groom requested a photo with mike. Mike joked that they should shove cake in each others faces. That joke soon turned into a reality! :)" I KID you not… that is EXACTLY how it went down (in 140 characters or less :D).

At the VERY end of the night… Allison and Gavin realized that they needed to cut the grooms cake… we grabbed our flashes and headed over.:)Right after… Gavin said, "Hey Bob, can you get a photo of me with Mike." Mike, (who loves EVERYTHING chocolate) then jokingly says… "Should we feed each other the cake." And BEFORE I even had my camera up… Gavin was serving up a BIG OL' piece of cake… he was READY! At this point, there was no turning back.  Mike said, "sooooo… how far do you want to take this?" Gavin's response, "it's all fair game… just don't get it on the tux." AND AWWWWWWAYYYYYYY THEY WENNNNNNNT!!!!!! Allison and I were in pure shock.

 

Mike and Gavin then decided to head into the photo booth… those photos are hanging on his bulletin board… he's so proud!

That night, as we both laid in bed giggling about the whole ordeal Mike proclaimed, "I kid you not… I have chocolate boogars!" Then, the next morning Gavin sent Mike a text, "Is it a problem that I woke up still tasting chocolate through my nose? nope… just means I don't need breakfast." HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Mike has finally met his match.:)

To Allison and Gavin… WE LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!!

Thank you for being amazing!

LOOOOVE!
~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

 

:)

 

 I was setting up the "Flying V formation"  I SWEAR I wasn't trying to hug him… I SWEAR!!!! The look on his face… HA!

 

 VERY funny Mike…. VERRRRRRRRY FUNNNY!

 

 gettin' it done!

 

 I call this the fourth position camera stance. Don't mess with me! In all seriousness… why the hell am I standing like that?! SO WEIRD!

:!:+:?:

Oh my God!! The photo of you (bobbi) in front of the groom with that look on his face, LMAO! And the last photo? That kid is looking at you like, what the…? The way your shoe appears below your knee…you look like you have 3 extra joints in your leg! Too funny. Great stuff guys!

AnnaAugust 7, 2009 - 4:32 pm

Bobbi + Mike, You are wonderful! I’ve spent half the day looking at the rest of the photos you posted, ALL of them and I can’t say enough how great you two are. The way you see the world is truly beautiful! I was smiling, laughing and tearing up, just like the day of the wedding! You’re fabulous!

lynne hulbertAugust 7, 2009 - 2:39 pm

I feel like I was there, these are filled with such great energy and truly capture what an awesome personality Allison has! the tilt-shift doorway shot is yummyness.

CandiceAugust 6, 2009 - 8:51 am

That is fabulousness all in one big bite of fabulous! too fun!

Lindsay PAugust 5, 2009 - 11:49 pm

That last picture of you, Bobbi, really cracks me up because I find myself standing like that (and sometimes in even more odd positions) while shooting all the time.

I’ve been following your blog for some time now and this is by far my favorite wedding of yours. Great work, as always, but something about this bride and groom was just too fab not to comment. Or maybe it was just your mad ballet skills Bobbi ;)

StacyAugust 5, 2009 - 10:36 pm

Ok, I changed my mind…my fav is the brothers!! Especially the one on the right.

StacyAugust 5, 2009 - 10:34 pm

Loved the pictures. Fabulous job!!! I can’t wait to see the rest. My favorite is the “bling” shot.

Dennis BullockAugust 5, 2009 - 7:47 pm

Hi Bobbi and Mike,
The pics are amazing!! Just beautiful!! You captured their love and their joy and the cake picture is soooo them!! I can’t wait to see the rest!!
LOVE them all, hard to pick out 1 favorite, but I love the black and white one, with them walking and I love the one with them sitting, the red wall behind them and you can see her shoes.
The cake ones, with Mike and Gavin are the best and the V formation, well that just is you two. I think everyone should have you do their wedding because you are just so fun! No one can do a better job….. no one!! Thanks for all you do!

ericaAugust 5, 2009 - 10:14 am

I think this is my favorite wedding you’ve done – I love how she tapped the sign on her way out – if my husband ever has his wish fulfilled to get RE-married at ND, you are the FIRST person I am calling!
