Molly & Jordan! South Bend, Indiana Wedding Photography

October 13, 2015

“Well, me – I fall in love with you every single day.” -Ed SheeranMJ-W-FAV029_WEB

Bride+Groom+AwesomeBridalParty+CowLimo+SweetBarnReception = YAYYAYYAY!!!

Molly and Jordan are pretty much the best.  It’s safe to say I’m a huge fan of team JollyWed!

As mentioned before, there was a COW LIMO!  The cow limo blew steam out it’s butt, and said things like “Mooooooove over!”.  Some of you know, when Indianapolis’ chicken limo drives by, I’m the one that’s shouting, “CHICKEN LIMO!”  It might, or might not be on my bucket list to have an occasion to rent the chicken limo someday ;).

And you guys, this couple is soooooo sweet and thoughtful!  When we were done with family images in the church, Molly, Jordan, second shooter-Ashley and I were the last ones out, and Molly was picking up the empty water bottles and trash as we were leaving [Jordan convinced her to leave them and that someone else would take care of cleaning up].

And I can not say enough about how cool their bridal party was [‘pitch forks’ anyone?].

Or how very awesome St. Joseph Farm was.

Or how amazingly Molly’s mom Martha put all the details together for their big day.

Or how fabulous Beth from Plum and Poppy was.

You guys win!

Molly and Jordan also hired us to have the Photo Booth set up, and IT WAS AWESOME!  [if you follow us on Instagram or facebook, you’ll have seen the sneak peeks already :).

To conclude, during the welcome at the reception, someone said something about Jenga blocks, and remembering moments… and how remembering strengthens us.  I love that, and I’m so happy that our images from your day will be part of that remembering.

Thanks you two!

    Um…whoa. That bride is a beauty! Her smile in infectious! She looks SO happy! I love all the details (the pocket watch, the bridesmaids’ shirts, all the reception details) and I especially love the bride and groom portraits. Well done!

    Oh, this beautiful bride looks like such a sweetheart! I adore the fact that she got Jordan’s grandfather’s watch working for a wedding day present. LOVE that makeup “getting ready” shot, the wedding party with the barn (gah!), and those bridesmaid images. So gorgeous!
