In my defense (which is weak at best) I do have talent, really! But none that I can discuss on tv and most that involve small sharp sticks.

The joke around the studio (and I understand at home) is that she hears EVERYTHING.

A million conversations at once!

She rules with an iron fist and the most outstanding

eye for detail.

Bobbi rocks.

“There is no crying in photography!”

She works hard, gives about 1000% and makes it all look easy.

Which of course it most assuredly is NOT.

Who doesn’t love them some BB?

It was a really wonderful day to celebrate their wedding at Graham Chapel  (the fabulous Shelly from Sisters Flowers helped get this lovely bride down the aisle!) and party at the AB Conference Center.

They’re a totally great couple, we are so excited for their wedding happening this August!

Laura and Theo were pretty willing and well behaved themselves!

Please enjoy a tiny peek—– go on, you can have a treat afterwards!

Their Big Day happens in June, we eagerly await their celebration!

Here at Bobbi Brinkman Photography we DO NOT feel that having DIY elements in a wedding are anything but wonderful. Within a few guidelines of course!  {Remember a couple of years ago when we talked about the bride that stuffed little monogrammed sachets with dryer lint??? Yeah… like that. Not so good!}

DIY means of course, Do It Yourself…. and for many brides doing things themselves has nothing to do with cutting costs…. or cutting corners. It means that they embrace having elements and details of their wedding that are completely personal and filled with meaning—– the things that they would be missing if they merely purchased items or had them made at any cost.

Wonderful BBP wedding couple Danielle and Mike recently held a DIY workshop in their home to happy friends and family. An excellent evening of DIY’ing, good food and cocktails started with a hug from Groom to Be Mike at the front door.

This was the sign that welcomed participants—— so cute!

SO detailed (note the gray chevron paper and the coral accents!)

There were several tables and workstations in the house dedicated to a particular project. Each table was covered for protection and there was a cute matching note giving details how to accomplish a task. The projects for the evening were candy separation by color, painting and decoupaging picture frames and monograms, replacing wine bottle labels with custom labels, color coordinated floss tying and stuffing wedding invitations for the mail and lastly to make lanterns from sheet metal.

The very cool lanterns will all get a top coat of black paint, I can’t wait to show you how great they will look unified by color.

Much fun was had by all!

Whatever your wedding plans are, don’t be afraid to do as much or as little DIY inspired projects as you would like. Weddings should reflect the bride and groom, be filled with fun and personality and all of the things that are unique to the couple.

We can assure you that come this June, “THIS” wedding will not only be beautiful but will be uniquely Danielle & Mike! Gorgeous from first to last!

They’re such a great couple and we’re really looking forward to their June wedding, it’s going to be wonderful!

Just wait and see Andrea & Alan, your wedding day will be here in the blink of an eye!  You’ll be dancing the night away at the Millennium Hotel and starting your lives together as a married couple!

We are so delighted to be able to work with Brittany and Brandon and share their special wedding day. The happy couple will be married at St. Ambrose and party with their friends and family at the Palladium St. Louis!

Welcome to the family Brittany & Brandon!

In the scheme of things———- CONGRATS to the St. Louis Blues for clinching the Division Saturday night—— on to Round 2!

What a GREAT BBP Couple, thanks Julie & David, it was fun!
