Josh + Amanda

Ahh, this wedding. :) Like all the weddings we get to photograph, there are little moments that we hold onto.

And this one ... well, it was filled with so many sweet ones ...

When Josh saw Amanda walking down the aisle ...
The special glances they both shared during their beautiful ceremony ...
The super fun bridal party shenanigans on the campus of Notre Dame ... :)
Can we say cake smash?! ;)
And the super fabulous sparkler send off ...

Those were just a few wonderful moments from this special day! And despite the rain that fell early on, it couldn't diminish the pure happiness of these two beautiful people. Their infectious smiles and sheer joy were the absolute highlight!

Justin & Heather {Maternity Love} St. Patrick's County Park

This sweet momma-to-be is pretty darn amazing! She’s an art teacher, a fitness instructor and she’s expecting twins! What?! Amazing, right?! And her hubby … well, he is pretty darn amazing too!

Loved spending some time with them a few weeks ago, on a beautiful fall evening, adventuring around St. Patrick’s County Park, in South Bend!

Such a beautiful couple ... and seriously … so sweet! They’re going to be incredible parents! Congrats you gorgeous souls.

Welcome to the World Sweet Baby Girl Rowan {South Bend, Indiana}

There is so much love in this GORGEOUS family of three!

I've known Lauren, this beautiful momma, for a few years now, and I cannot tell you what a WONDERFUL person she is! Her and her hubby welcomed their sweet, baby girl Rowan last year, and we got to share in some moments together a few months back, in their beautiful home. It was an honor - and a joy to document such wonderful memories with them, and their cutie pie, new addition. :)

Adam & Rebecca {St. Patrick's County Park}

I met Adam and Rebecca last year. My very sweet friend Ashley, who I met photographing her family, but is also now a dear friend too, connected me to her brother Adam, and his lovely fiancé, Rebecca! 

The great outdoors were calling our names, and St. Patrick's County Park, in South Bend, Indiana just so happened to be the perfect backdrop to this wonderful couple's oh so sweet love!

They braved the extremely cold day, but you probably can't even tell it was below freezing! They kept each other warm with their sweet smiles, and perfect interactions. It was a true joy getting to know them and adventuring around the park. :-)

Congratulations to this beautiful pair! You are lovely.

Scott & Jen | Four Winds Field

Scott and Jen were married on a crisp fall day in October. The day started with a torrential downpour and ended with an equally impressive torrential downpour.

Their ceremony was meant to be outdoors, but as the day transpired, there was some certainty that an outdoor wedding just wasn’t going to be possible on this day.

To most couples, this would be devastating, but Scott and Jen, and the rest of their family and friends embraced it all. They embraced the rain. They embraced the changes they had to make for their ceremony. But more so, they embraced every last moment. And despite the gloomy day, nothing could diminish the love that shined so BRIGHT between these two wonderful humans, who managed to find each other in this crazy world.

It was a perfectly, imperfect day, and we were so darn grateful to be a part of it.
