I've been SO excited to share these images with you all!

I was taking a standard portrait… you know… for the announcement in the paper and for the grandmas… when Mike somehow saw THIS. There is NO one else who could second shoot for me other than him… how he finds these angles is beyond me… and yes… I'm the luckiest wife/photographer in the world

"everything it's cracked up to be" … PERFECTION! This one's my favorite

SIGN ME UP FOR THOSE LEGS!!!!!!!!

Oh, Hi Chicago!

Kevin, you are SO handsome!

If you were there with us in this moment… you'd be laughing too

If you come on a shoot with us… you have to be down for anything… and these two definitely were

HELLOOOO GORGEOUS EYES! Nicole, I had these tiles put in before our shoot to match your eyes. You're welcome

I really love shooting in urban areas, just do Try… next time you're in a downtown area… seeing it with new eyes… you'll start seeing doorways, alleys, old buildings, things that would usually be passed by as junk… in a whole new light. When and if you ever decide to try this little experiment, be sure to bring along your camera

ME LOVE SYMMETRY!

We make a living playing in traffic Mike's favorite

CHICAGO. We love shooting engagement sessions. Nicole and Kevin are the perfect couple with perfect wedding plans… I mean duh… they hired us… of course they know what they're doing

When Nicole told us that she and Kevin owned a scooter…. I WAS PUMMMMMMPED!!!!!! I guess when Kevin went into the scooter dealership… he had a very specific scooter that he wanted.. wellllll…. the ONLY ones that were in stock were red. He really wanted a blue one… but that would have taken a month to come in… so he settled with red. HOWEVER… from an "engagement session with scooter" standpoint… THE RED WAS AWWWWESOME!

On that note… we really love when couples go outside of the box and try to think of new and exciting things to incorporate into their sessions to make them unique to them. Okay, off of that soapbox…

The four of us had a blast walking around Chicago… one of the many things I love about place is that everytime were there… we see something completely new (to us). This time… we explored the western part of downtown Chicago… loved it

We SO canNOT wait until their wedding…. August, 2010….. YEAH!!!!!!!

Love!

That wall that I tiled again… You're welcome, again.

Bobbi and Mikey,

You two are wonderful photographers. Your color always pops. Although you know me I love the B&W photos. So therefore, I choose Mikey’s fave. Nicole and Kevin should be very happy with their photos.

Love you both,

Momba

I know these two clowns, and only a miracle worker could get them to look so good. Amazing job.

My brother is a clown – disinvite him from the wedding. Bobbi and Mike – you two are AMAZING!

Love,
The other co-maid of honor.

The black and white, when you guys are holding hands is funny. You guys look like a Ying-Yang (no pun intended Kevin – ok maybe a little pun)

Morgan Phelps CraneOctober 28, 2009 - 3:39 pm

Bobbi + Mike–

Thank you for capturing my friends so beautifully. You really caught who they are, both individually and as a couple. They are some of the happiest people I know–and the pictures show it! The bride to be looks amazing! CAN YOU SAY LEGS!? Kevin, you’re looking pretty good too, hehe.

Love,

The co-maid of honor!

AmyOctober 28, 2009 - 11:00 am

You guys give Chicago the photographic justic it deserves. And as someone who lives in this city I can say you’ve inspired me to start looking more closely at doors and alleyways. Also, you two are so good at playing in traffic. I love Mike’s favorite photo. It’s mine too.

MaryOctober 28, 2009 - 9:36 am

Oooh…awesome work guys! I can only aspire to your level of creativity! Wonderful inspiration…

Jane HastyOctober 28, 2009 - 9:16 am

Awesome as usual-how can it not be..you’re in Chicago!!!!!!!!!

Stephanie StewartOctober 28, 2009 - 9:12 am

Love this couple and their session! Wow! This is one of my favorite engagement sessions of yours for 09! If I’d have to choose a favorite it would be the traffic one and the black and white Vespa shot – ok, 2 top favorites! Fabulous work, every time! Magic, everything you do is magic, to borrow some words from Sting, of course.

oneshotbeyondOctober 28, 2009 - 8:55 am

Just FABULOUS!

gailOctober 28, 2009 - 8:43 am

Are you SURE you didn’t hop a plane to Europe for those Vespa shots?! ADORABLE!!!

LOVE the shot with the pipes! I agree with you Bobbi, walking around urban areas I can’t help but think, “ooh, there’s a photo..and THERE’S a photo!”

Nice work – as always!

Katie BeverleyOctober 28, 2009 - 8:06 am

Awesome work as always, Bobbi + Mike!!!

BostonOctober 28, 2009 - 1:48 am

Now I, and everyone else, can oogle you on the interwebs as often as we’d like! Good thing you both look so pretty in these pictures.

Melody CarpenterOctober 28, 2009 - 1:25 am

Pretty sure that I LOVE all of these…

ClaryOctober 28, 2009 - 12:50 am

SarahAOctober 28, 2009 - 12:38 am

You guys look HOT (Nicole hotter though – sorry, Kevin)

KatOctober 28, 2009 - 12:25 am

Check out her skinny-mini waist, especially in the second to last image! So jealous!
And you can’t go wrong with a Vespa.
Amazing work, B+M! Love it!

Angel CanaryOctober 28, 2009 - 12:21 am

Fabulous! LOVE it!

BradOctober 28, 2009 - 12:17 am

Your masonry skills are almost as impressive as your photography skills. Also, I will always and forever be a softy for dramatic long exposure pictures of couples surrounded by city lights.

josh solarOctober 28, 2009 - 12:13 am

Looking good, Bobbi + Mike.

BetsyOctober 28, 2009 - 12:11 am

WOWZA, she’s got SEXY legs and she knows how to use them! OW!!!

Hot shoot you guys! They are so cute and full of life! (You two, Bobbi and Mike!!!)

Amanda WilcherOctober 28, 2009 - 12:08 am
