Mr. + Mrs. Scheffel | South Bend, Indiana | Wedding Day

August 16, 2018

Arielle Peters Photography taking a couple’s wedding day photos at The Blue Heron at Blackthorn in South Bend, Indiana. Nothing’s quite as sweet as seeing a bride + groom completely taken by each other throughout the entire wedding day…. so basically, this past weekend with Sarah + Kyle couldn’t have been any sweeter! Between the number of times Kyle pulled Sarah in for an unexpected kiss or the amount of smitten giggles Sarah had when they were together, there was just so much love in the air while snapping their wedding day photos! After our time together for the engagement shoot, I knew I loved these two, but getting to spend the entire day with them only solidified that! They had so many amazing people surrounding them on their big day and it’s really no wonder why! Sarah + Kyle have such big hearts and even on a day that is supposed to be all about them, they’re so quick to think about others first and care for others before themselves!

Venue and Location

The happy couple spent their wedding day at The Blue Heron at Blackthorn in South Bend, Indiana, perfect for their outdoor summer wedding day! I am so thankful to have been a small part of their journey together! I can’t wait for them to look back on their wedding day photos decades from now, with their grandchildren, and reminisce about where it all started!! Congratulations to the BEAUTIFUL newlyweds, Mr. + Mrs. Scheffel!!
