We had the most perfect golden hour for Justin’s surprise proposal to Riley at Notre Dame this fall!

Justin reached out to me about 3 months prior to the date he was planning on proposing. He and Riley both attended Notre Dame and would be in town for the home football game that weekend. He wanted to pop the question on the Friday evening before the game. Knowing campus would likely be pretty busy, I was relieved to find out that he had a specific bench in mind. It sits just outside of the Basilica nestled in a corner at the top of the stairs from the Grotto. Thankfully, it’s not a heavily traveled area, and it’s still a very special spot to Riley and Justin.

The proposal was successful, and then we walked around campus during golden hour for some beautiful engagement photos. I loved being a part of this special moment for these two lovebirds! My favorites are below, so be sure to check them out and shoot me a message if you want to schedule your own!
