The makeup artist showing Stephani how to pucker so that she can apply blush. It made me giggle.

This was one Stephani's highlights of the day… she was SOOO excited about her panties with the "veil on the butt!" Stephani, you're adorable!

I LOVE YOUR SMILE! Sorry I'm so funny!

One of my favorite groomsmen shots ever. Mikey's favorite

Stephani had a hard time fitting the ring over Ryan's knuckle

A little Charlie's Angels action

We found some amazing locations… all within a five minute walk from the reception site. Gosh.. these two really were up for anything and we LOVE that!

Who's—-Whose? Hmm?

See, told you they were up for anything! This was ALLLL Stephani's idea and I got excited! She said, "want me to climb up there?"

My response… "Uhm… only if you want to and you're comfortable with it."

"Would it make a cool picture?" She said.

"ABSOLUTELY!"

I'm guessing they're four feet up off the ground… WOWWWWW!!!!!!

My favorite.. I LOOOOVE the colors!

Who needs a bubble machine when you have these guys?! How CUUUUTE is this???!?!?!!

OH SO HAPPPPPY!

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Stephani and Ryan really did have SUCH an amazing day full of great friends, lots of laughs, and gorgeous weather!

Stephani is one of the most laid back, up for anything girls I've EVER met! As we were out shooting bridal portraits and bridesmaids shots she kept saying… "don't worry about the dress… I'm only going to wear it once!" She genuinely would have done anything as long as it "made for a good picture." How lucky did we get?! I mean… even though she said that, we still treated her dress with the same respect we treat all dresses I would never ask anyone to do something that I wouldn't be willing to do myself in MY wedding dress

OHHHH MY GOSHHHHH Ryan is SOOOO funny! He makes me laugh LAUGH LAUGHHHH!!!!! And when he's with his brother Scott, it's even worse… the two of them together… I can't control myself. I swear to you my abs hurt the next day from laughing so hard the day before. Speaking of Scott… this is the third wedding he's been in that we've photographed. First, he was an usher back in 2006 (there, he was famously named on our blog back then "Usher of the Year") then in 2007 he was promoted to a groomsman now in 2008 he's hit the big time… he was the BEST MAN!

YOU GUYS ROCKKKKK!!!!

LOVE!

You two are the Bomba. I love the B&W of “An idea who’s time has come”. The Charlie’s angel shot is too fun. Stephani is a gorgeous bride. Ryan is a very lucky guy.

Thx a million you guys(gals), I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather have to do my only sister’s biggest day of her life. This is the 2nd wedding I’ve been in with you shooting, Bobbi, you freakin R-O-C-K!!!! You really change the game and make the shots work, no humdrum pics to look at in 20 years, these are the keepers. Thx again. It’s doubtful, but should anyone be able to put up with my crap long enough, you’d be the one to shoot my wedding.

NicoleSeptember 22, 2008 - 5:11 pm

Love the butterfly clips in the bride’s hair…simple but stunning! And I’m glad that ISU education is coming in handy with the who’s/whose stuff. : )

Rockin’ images as usual, you guys!

Kathleen TrenskeSeptember 22, 2008 - 4:15 pm

Incredible shots! The ones in front of the old garage are my favorites! Amazing as always!

Melissa McClureSeptember 22, 2008 - 3:40 pm

(That should have been potential)

AprilSeptember 22, 2008 - 12:27 pm

I love all the building shots! I didn’t know Fort Wayne had so much potentios! Amazing.

BetsySeptember 22, 2008 - 10:46 am

Wow! What an adventurous couple! So beautiful. : )

I’m wracking my brain where all of that in FW is? I’m stumped! Two of the places look familiar, the rest, um, don’t have a clue!!!

Amanda Geary-MartinSeptember 22, 2008 - 10:05 am

I’ve know Ryan for almost 10 years now….wow, I feel old….and your pictures capture both his and Stephani’s personalities perfectly!!

Again, great work guys…absolutely beautiful!!

Looks like another satisfied ‘Bobbi Bride’!!

PS: Travis wanted to tell Mike hi…so here it is: HI!

Oh man. Love her necklace. The Charlie’s Angels shot. The “An idea whose time has come” shot. WOW! And is that girl in the center of the bubbles shot the flower girl? Her dress is adorable!

(And hey, do you think Ryan kind of looks like Justin Timberlake?!)

heatherbauersSeptember 22, 2008 - 8:42 am

You so need to add some of your “action” shots to your ever-changing banner. I’ve been seeing some really cool ones lately.

chris stewartSeptember 22, 2008 - 7:33 am

Amazing. Your work ALWAYS blows me away. Great job once again guys.

cat sparksSeptember 22, 2008 - 1:51 am
