Summer Lake Proposal at Notre Dame

February 25, 2026

Will planned the perfect surprise proposal on the lake at Notre Dame this summer!

Will and Karolina both attended Notre Dame, so of course Will wanted to propose there too! He knew they’d be in town in early September, so he reached out to me to start planning! He wanted to propose right after mass, and we agreed that doing it by the lake would hopefully avoid most people photobombing the moment. When the time came, Karolina said yes and we all celebrated! Afterward, we walked around the lake and up to the Grotto and Dome for a few just-engaged photos. The sun was quite bright and they got a little blinded in a few spots, but it was all worth it.

I love how their photos turned out and I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this blog. Be sure to check them out below and shoot me a message if you want to schedule your own surprise proposal!
