When Hanna sent me inspo pictures for her and Hayden’s South Bend engagement photos, the Morris Performing Arts Center was the first place to come to mind. Built in 1922, the interior stuns with a rose, blue, and cream color scheme, hand-painted cherubs, crystal chandeliers, plaster moldings, and so much more. The two-story lobby served as the perfect backdrop for their vision. Plus, we wrapped up their session outside with the prettiest spring blooms to add a soft, romantic touch!
There’s just something about a dressed-up session at a historic location that hits different. Hanna and Hayden brought all the timeless vibes with their elegant white dress and shirt-and-tie look. It couldn’t have paired more perfectly with the stunning interior of the Morris Performing Arts Center. From its grand marble railings to the ornate gold detailing, every inch of this space felt cinematic.
We wandered through the grand halls, played with the light streaming from the massive windows, and captured quiet moments that felt equal parts romantic and elevated. We couldn’t just stop there, though. I spotted the dreamiest spring blossoms outside, and we had to take advantage. The soft pastels paired with their crisp outfits and the way Hanna looked at Hayden was an absolute dream!
