Kyle and Daniel welcomed in winter at their South Bend wedding at Aloft. This modern and stylish hotel and wedding venue is located in the heart of downtown South Bend.
The morning saw temps drop to 34 degrees with snow flurries and whipping winds. However, by the time we were ready for pictures things had calmed down. Plus, this couple was ready for the adventure so outside we went.
Our day started with bridal prep and groom prep in the bridal suite in the top floor. While things looked a bit gloomy outside, spirits were high inside with a “getting ready playlist” on shuffle.

First Look
We had two first looks, one with Dad and the other with Daniel. Both were wonderful, emotional moments with some laughter and rubbing away of some tears.

Portraits
At this point we had no idea if outside would work or not. Luckily the wind stop blowing and the flurries stopped. Although the ground was a bit wet, we gingerly made our way around the downtown South Bend area so as not to damage the dress from Purple Door Bridal and the flowers from Patricia Ann Flowers for wedding photos of the soon to be newlyweds.

Of course, Aloft is a fine looking hotel and wedding venue and inside photos were also on the agenda. We did a few of Kyle and Daniel as well as family photo groups inside the warm and spacious front lobby.
Ceremony
The ceremony and reception took place in the 6th floor ballrooms of the Aloft. The ballroom wedding was officiated by the Aunt of the groom who became emotional during the proceeedings just as many family and friends did.

Reception
Malcom from 27 Entertainment was behind the board as emcee and musical director so i knew the dance floor would be live, and it was.
Plenty of desserts were on hand for a sugar high to get you back onto the floor.
