Congrats to Carolyn and Ryan! What a beautiful wedding and an amazing couple! It’s always so much fun to photograph the bride getting ready! The excitement and anticipation of the day ahead is so much fun to capture. I especially enjoy when the bride receives a hand written letter from the groom. It’s such a wonderful way to express the love of the day to your future wife!

I had such a fun time capturing little Harper! Mom contacted me about wanting to schedule a session to capture some memories of this special time in their lives together. We chose to use one of my favorite local parks - Cobus Creek park in Elkhart. A blanket and some beautiful evening golden hour lighting to bring out the natural beauty and connection that these two have together!

We loved capturing Hannah & Nick’s special day on the Notre Dame campus! The day was just gorgeous outdoors for roaming around campus with these two to find their favorite locations for pics. The basilica, the grotto, the golden dome and touchdown Jesus were all favorite spaces for these two newlyweds. The Basilica church is such a glorious setting for a wedding. We always love shooting here as the wide open spaces and stained glass add to such beautiful ambience! Look at Nick’s expression when he finally gets to see his future wife coming down the isle :) View fullsize View fullsize V ..read more

I’m so terrible about putting up photos in a timely manner! This was a session from 2018 and I’m just now getting around to putting it up on the blog lol. Baby Olivia was such a little doll to photograph. Mom and Dad and I had such fun setting up a few different scenes and capturing their new family addition! We worked with a beautiful color pallet of purples and pinks linens and I think it turned out pretty good! This would make such a gorgeous framed print!

Fall is probably my favorite time of the year for family photos, with a close second being winter. The fall foliage provides such an amazing backdrop to capture family memories! Whether the theme involves pumpkins, leaves or barns….it’s all a ton of fun! I was asked by my cousin to come do a session at their house in Nappanee and I jump on the opportunity! Is this not the cutest little one in the world!! She had so much fun playing in the leaves and pumpkins. Her smile is contagious and she inspires everyone around her to laugh and play! Kids are my favorite part of family photo session! P ..read more

We knew this was going to be such a fun wedding to photograph…and we weren’t disappointed!

The plans had to take a little bit of a curve with the outbreak of Covid 19 this year, but with some careful planning and safety precautions, they were able to pull it off and still mange to keep everyone safe! The ceremony was set in a beautiful secluded outdoor setting surrounded by the Goshen countryside and close friends and family. Red Tail Farm provided the perfect venue for this wed ..read more

From the minute that Elizabeth and her grandmother walked by our wedding photo booth at a local bridal expo and asked about our photography collections, I knew this was going to be a fun wedding to photograph!

We explained that our collections include an custom designed Heirloom album as well as an engagement photo shoot. Elizabeth ended up booking with us and we are so glad she did!

Wow, we had such a great time photographing Katie & Ryan for their recent engagement! They are both Notre Dame alum who recently graduated and moved away, but they were back on campus for the weekend. They had been searching for a local photographer in South Bend and stumbled across Dave Thompson Photography, and we’re so glad they did! They were back in South Bend for the big Notre Dame vs. USC football game and wanted to schedule the shoot during their time in town. We knew it would be a busy weekend on the ND campus, so we had originally planned to take photos on Fri. evening, but due t ..read more

St. Mary’s College is such a beautiful and peaceful campus and it’s perfect for a wedding day too! As local wedding photographers, we shoot in many different venues and churches throughout Indiana and Michigan, but this campus and church has to be one of the most amazing! We had to get the wedding party out on the beautiful bridge for a shot with the bride and groom. This is such an iconic spot on the campus of St. Mary’s College.
