elissa+mark

 

Elissa was one of the happiest brides we've ever seen… as you'll see, she had the BIGGEST smile on her face the ENTIRE day

 

 

 Who can resist a little shoe action!?

 

 BFFs for over 20 years…

 

Told ya! (about that smile:D)


 

;)

 

 This is one of my favorite bridal shots in the history of the Earth!:!:

 

 HELLLOOOOO HOT ICE PRINCESS!!!!! (I mean, if ice princesses were real… I would imagine that they'd look like this)

 

 Elissa, this one's for you:DI showed her this on the back of the camera and she LOVED it. 

 

THESE GROOMSMEN ROCKED!!!!

 

 If you knew how dark it was back there…. you'd be OH SO impressed with my BRAND SPANKIN' NEW 5D markII:)To all of you photographers out there, I shot it at 6400 ISO at f1.6 and 1/80th of a second.

 

 Does this make anyone else giggle? Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 Just a few minutes until the big big big moment…:D

 

 

 

 This church was GORGEOUS!

 

;)

 

OH SO sweeeeeet!

 

:DI LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PHOTO!!!!!!:DPS. ISO 5000 f1.4 1/200th taken at 7pm, YEAHYEAHYEAH!

 

:D

 

 

 Did I mention the BFF for over 20 years thing?;)

 

 

 

 And then… the first dance:D

 

 Can't you just hear her saying… "AWWWWW!!!!!"

 

 ALLLLL thanks to the father of the bride that we were there at all that day.:)He saw us in action at Megan and Ben's wedding in May of 2006 and approached me for a business card… the rest is history.:)By the way… isn't this photo cool?!

 

I LOVED everything about the MOH's speech…. My favorite!:!:

 

 

 

 AHHHHHH!!!!! Okay, maybe THIS is my favorite one!!!!!:!:

 

 

TOLEDO, Ohio. What more can I possibly say that these photos didn't already?! These guys are so expressive  and comfortable being themselves that capturing their emotions was not difficut at all:D

These two have been together since high school. I think that almost their entire bridal party has known each other since then, too.  So… they've ALLLL been friends for YEARS!  This was one VERY tight-knit group who was a BLAST to be around! Oh AND not to mention they're TROOOOOOOOPERS…. notice how COOOOLD it looked in those photos!? Well, it wasn't an illusion, it was FAREEEEEEZING!!!!!!!!  We, however, heard not ONE complaint out of ANYONE! They were ALL about it and up for anything:DElissa stood out in the cold for longer than anyone AND in high heels.  She kept saying, "I only get married once and I can take this cold!" She's seriously a super hero.  SUPER ICE PRINCESS!  Gosh, I'm getting cheesier by the second!!!!!! Okay… shutting up now…

Their reception… AYKM?! The aforementioned bridal party who was a blast… uhm… they did NOT disappoint on the dance floor!  Oh, did I mention that Elissa and her Maid of Honor have been dancing since they were like five years old… AND they're both STILL teaching dance!!!!!!!! Of course, they teach together… are you surprised?:DSo, needless to say… I sort of knew that it was going to be a fun dance floor. :)I asked Elissa earlier in the day if Mark was a guy who danced. her response, "he cuts a rug." OMG… I'm getting SOOOO old because I then said… "is that a good thing?!" Her reply, "uhm yeah… he can dance.";)OHHHH YESSSS HE CUTS A MEEEEAN RUG!!!!!!!!  

On that note, I've gotta tell ya… they taught me another word:)Are you dying to know what that word is? Because if so… I'm getting ready to tell you:D

FETCH!

And what does that mean? It simply means that something is cool or awesome or hot or well… anything that's uhm… good:DSo yes… their wedding was TOTALLY fetch! (Did I use it right?;))

We ADORE you guys!!!!!!!!

Love love love!

I love how his face scrunches into a smile when he shoots.

I’ve already asked Mark and Elissa for your info– thus, how I got here. You guys are amazing. Elissa you look absolutely stunning!!

JamieJanuary 10, 2009 - 2:44 am

Wowza!!! That bride is smokin’! You seriously captured her beauty outstandingly.. is that a word?? haha
I can’t even believe how absolutely amazing the shot out of them outside at 7pm came out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I honestly am slightly obsessed with this whole post.

DanielleJanuary 9, 2009 - 3:43 am

Excellent perspectives on many of these shots.

On the picture of the child making a funny face (number 11), did you use a tripod?

Douglas DinnebeilJanuary 5, 2009 - 7:07 pm

OMG…OMG…OMG the slide show of Mark and Elissa is OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Bobbi and Mike WAY To GO!

AllisonJanuary 5, 2009 - 5:17 pm

Hellllllo Bobbi and Mike – I look at your photos and admire your talent all the time!!! I often daydream about the photos you may take around me (of the town, of people in my life, etc…) Well…looking at the latest wedding one – I was like OMG, they are in MY town!!!! How did that happen!

Kudos to you for another wonderful wedding photo shoot. Keep up the good work both professionally as well as personally!

Hey Bobster,

What an awesome couple. Elissa and Mark look so happy on their special day. The church was gorgeous although it did not hold a candle to the Bride. I have to say my top two faves are the veil in the wind and the photo you selected as your favorite. The B&W of Elissa kissing her Grandmother touched my heart. Great work you two.

Love you,

Momba

sarah rhoadsJanuary 2, 2009 - 10:36 pm

lroahJanuary 2, 2009 - 5:34 pm

kilaxJanuary 2, 2009 - 12:05 pm

Oh my gosh – I have never seen such a beautiful wedding dress before! These photos are so amazing. They are going to have a blast going through the whole set!

I was just thinking about our wedding photos yesterday, and how lucky I am that they are so awesome. I just like to look through them sometimes and I am amazed by how great they are…

Mikey looks so cute in that photo! And you’re looking great, Bobbi!

Heather ColeJanuary 2, 2009 - 12:05 pm

These pictures capture the wedding perfectly!! The photos make memories of the day come alive! :)

heatherbauersJanuary 2, 2009 - 9:17 am

I’m so glad to see some 5DmkII examples. I just got that camera and can’t wait to use it at those high ISOs. I was always impressed with the ISO on the original 5D, so it can only be better.

Anyway…great shots as usual.

john waireJanuary 2, 2009 - 8:53 am

sign me up for the new 5D Mark II. schweet!

great coverage as always.

happy new year!

Jess (studio3z)January 2, 2009 - 8:51 am

Love this wedding!! It makes me realize how much I have been missing you guys via your work/your posts.

I think the new 5D done good!! (at least in the hands of Bobbi and Mike) :)

GailJanuary 2, 2009 - 8:43 am

To borrow a b+m phrase: AYKM? You guys make a winter wedding look like cake, and well, that isn’t easy!

PS – Bobbi, your man is looking mighty fine in that last shot :)

PPS – If you haven’t seen Mean Girls, well, I think that may be where “fetch” got its origins. :)

sasha farinaJanuary 2, 2009 - 5:53 am

fetch! a total fetch.. all of them :D (did i use it right? LOL)

Bob RidgeJanuary 2, 2009 - 3:45 am

I’ve officially added “fetch” to my vocab as of tofay thanks to you Bobs. Time to retire “groovy.” ;) Knockout bride, knockout shots. If you decide to do video with that 5D, I’m in trouble!

AlanJanuary 2, 2009 - 2:25 am

Amazing shots…. wish I knew your secret(s) :)

Maya LaurentJanuary 2, 2009 - 2:02 am
