Bobby & Rochelle’s Wedding!

most fun wedding EVER.  these two are very near and dear to my heart.  you may remember rochelle and bobby from their engagement shoot (see it HERE).  rochelle is the jack of all trades for our household… assistant, nanny, organizer extraordinaire and friend. i had the honor of not only photographing their big day, but also styling it and coming up with all of the decor!  AWESOME.  :)  rochelle and bobby were planning their wedding in a very short amount of time and the goal was for it to be fun, creative, personal, handmade, inexpensive  and a theme based upon all things childlike (because of their passion for children and the way they met)!  they also firmly believed that it should be a day celebrating their love for God and their childlike joy in waiting on His timing in bringing the two of them together.  here were just a few of the creative touches in their day:  pinwheels made out of children’s book pages, paper chains, painted cardboard clouds, quilts hanging as backdrops, hundreds of old time candies, paper flowers, chalkboard artwork, cupcakes topped with fruit loops, gummy worms and sprinkles, a dinner catered by in & out burger, a cotton candy machine, multicolored paper crowns, handmade boutonierres with kites colored by my gracie, paper “leaves” cut from an old cinderella storybook and a lollypop, 20 pairs of converse sneakers and one fantastic swingset.  also, one of my favorite things we did was use antique trucks as centerpieces with little love letters and flowers put under their windshield wipers (inspired by the many, many notes and flowers bobby would leave on rochelle’s truck when they were dating)!  a sweet moment of the day for me was being tackled by my little brandon as he ran straight past the flower girls and into my arms as i was photographing the ceremony.  he was so joyful and in the moment, which felt so perfect for the kind of wedding that this was… perfectly imperfect.  during the reception as the sun went down, all the guests danced, played with slinkies and jacks, drew with sidewalk chalk, laughed in the photo booth, filled up on burgers and popcorn and talked about the adorableness of bobby and rochelle.  it was a fantastic day celebrating two of the most humble, honest, selfless and ridiculously fun people i have ever had the honor to call friends.  xoxo
