Wedding Bells | South Bend Photographer

Oct 2

This wedding was a nice change of pace from my usual family photography routine. I had so much fun! This couple both grew up around here and went to the same schools, just a few years apart. I was in the same class as the best man and the bride, and let me tell ya, I definitely would not have passed Physics without her in my class!

They connected years later in Washington D.C. and fell in love (aw). Now they are moving across the country to begin a life together as husband and wife. What exciting times!

You could feel how close each family was, despite addresses all over the country. Most don’t live here anymore. I was so impressed with how far most of their guests traveled to be with them for their special day. It really said a lot to me about what kind of people they are. They wanted as many friends as possible to share in their special day, even including the vendors - photography and from what I understand, flowers, were done by friends and family. Their whole bridal party was family, too. Isn’t that fun?

Sunnyside Presbyterian Church Wedding South Bend, IN

This scripture was used in their ceremony several times, and even in their speeches. I love it. We have been shown what is good, and it what is required of us. It sounds a lot like loving our neighbors as ourselves and I think it might just be my new kitchen quote. What good timing for the start of the school year.

He hath shown thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? -Micah 6:8

This was my first time at St. Joe Farms, even though I have seen a gazillion pictures from other wedding galleries. It was just as beautiful as you I expected it to be. That barn was FULL of people that love the Lattanners. I loved meeting the owner. Brides, she seems like an amazing person to work with if you are looking for a venue! This crowd danced, played Cornhole (one set of ND boards, one set of Ohio State boards), and ate through a spread of home-made cookies and ice cream. It was a blast. Here comes a lot of pictures, so buckle up! Enjoy.
