Mr. + Mrs. Szklarek | A Black Tie Affair in South Bend, Indiana

July 17, 2020

Ryan + Caitlin’s love story stem’s all the way back to high school where he first laid eyes on her. Eight years of dating, and lots of growing up in between, these two still have their hearts set on each other! You can definitely tell by their friendship that it’s been one of years by each others side!

After hanging out with them for their engagement session, I was quickly counting down the days until we’d be able to officially see these two become husband and wife! Originally that special day was going to be on May 23rd, but after the pandemic hit, they needed to postpone until June 27th! It was suppose to rain almost all day (so much so I bought extra umbrellas to take with me) but the rain held off and we were left with the most perfect weather we could have hoped for! So I was more than happy to keep those umbrella’s tucked away in my car for another day.

Weddings starting up again has made this photographer insanely excited, and it’s days like this and couples like Ryan and Caitlin that make this the absolute best job in the world!

Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their big day!
