Mandy + Adam {married} photos and post by paige
| By General Bobo
Mandy and Adam are awesome... and so was their wedding party. Mandy had me cracking up from the start. I don't think I have ever laughed so much at a wedding. I loved it! The girls read my mind and offered to carry the green couch outside for me. (Only the coolest girls in the world would haul a big couch outside in brides maids dresses 30 minutes before the ceremony) Thank you girls, you were all great!! Mandy & Adam- Working with you and your wonderful friends really inspired me! Congratulations!

Destination Guide Atlantic City published one of my vacation photos (SEE HERE). This is why I love Creative Commons. Family vacation photos turn into marketing and advertising.

Heidi and Dave :: Married - Appleton, Wisconsin
| By General Bobo
May 30, 2009
Heidi and Dave are an amazing couple living and working in downtown Chicago. They love living in the big city but decided to have their wedding in Heidi's hometown of Appleton, Wisconsin.
Heidi is a very organized person... having just competed the Boston marathon proves that she is also hard working and dedicated. So when I arrived at her parents home and found a hand written note of things to remember on the wedding day I wasn't surprised. She must have gotten her skills from her mom who put together by hand over a hundred place cards that included a cut out of the Chicago skyline.
Heidi and Dave had custom invitations made as well as a custom wedding ring plate with their names and date on it. Their wedding colors where a cornflower blue and were incorporated in everything from the cocktail length bridesmaids dresses to the linens and chair bows. Everything was beautiful!
I had the pleasure of shooting with second photographer Mia Stevens. Mia was a great addition to the day... here is a link to her blog to see her upcoming post of her photos from this wedding. Mia and I are both members of the Collection, an amazing group of photographers who not only refer each other when we are booked... but also second shoot together, travel to conventions and even cover weddings in the case of an emergency.
It was a great pleasure to shoot Heidi and Dave's wedding... Congratulations!!!! Here are my favorites from the day....
I love photographing the bride and groom from different angles at church.
This blue wall was the perfect compliment to their wedding colors!
A beautiful reception location! Look at the shape of this room!!!

Fun Fact Friday - A piece of family history
| By General Bobo
Fact: I love churches and their history....
Last weekend while shooting the ceremony in St. Mary's Church in Menasha, I noticed a particular stained glass window with a recognizable name. The window read "in memory of Mrs. John Oberweiser".
My husband's grandfather was named John Oberweiser but his grandmother May is still alive and well. And obviously the windows where crafted when the church was built in the late 1800's.
So I asked Andy's mom and dad who are genealogy buffs. We found out that the Mr. and Mrs. John Oberweiser are indeed relation and are my son's Great, Great, Great Grandparents.
Such a fun find! St. Mary's Catholic Church in Menasha is gorgeous... look for Michelle and Andy's wedding day blog post coming soon!
