The morning of October 2 was gloomy and rainy. I packed up all of our cute umbrellas and started my drive to South Bend for Caitlin and Ryan’s wedding and began going over a creative rain plan for the day in my head. The weather wasn’t looking promising, but anyone who knows me, knows I’m a huge fan of clouds. I even stopped along the highway to take some shots of interesting cloudscapes.
Upon arrival at the South Bend Marriott, I proceeded to set up while the girls finished getting ready. Just as the bride finished putting on her dress, the clouds disappeared and sunshine filled the hotel suite. It was almost like a scene out of a movie.
It turned out to be one of the nicest fall days of 2010 on Notre Dame’s campus and we couldn’t have wished it for a nicer couple. Caitlin and Ryan are the models of what we hope for all of our wedding couples. They had a wonderful wedding, but the celebration was really secondary to their marriage and how in love they are as they start out their new life together.
