From sacred vows beneath soaring ceilings to dancing under glowing lights, Amanda and Dom’s wedding was a beautiful blend of grace, legacy, and genuine joy. Set on the iconic grounds of Notre Dame, these two said “I do” in a setting that held deep meaning and then threw one hell of a party to celebrate.

A Ceremony Steeped in Tradition

Their wedding day began at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, one of the most iconic places on campus and a location that made the whole day feel timeless. With the light pouring through the stained glass, Amanda and Dom exchanged vows in front of their family, friends, and the God who brought them together. It was elegant, emotional, and unforgettable.

And the best part? They didn’t see each other until that walk down the aisle. That first look moment, happening right in the Basilica, hit both of them in the feels.

Portraits Across the Golden Campus

After the ceremony, we wandered the grounds of Notre Dame with the newlyweds and their crew, stopping by all the meaningful spots the Golden Dome, the Grotto, Touchdown Jesus, the trellis behind the law school, and more. Between the laughs, wind-swept hair, and a few spontaneous hugs, these portraits turned out to be some of the most genuine and joy-filled moments of the day.

And can we talk about golden hour? The light. The laughter. The way Amanda’s veil caught the breeze just right. It was magic.

A Celebration That Kept the Energy High

With everyone ready to turn up, the reception kicked off with style. Think light-up foam sticks, high-energy intros, a packed dance floor, and a whole lot of champagne. Their guests rang little “kissing bells” every time they wanted the couple to smooch which was often and every time, Amanda and Dom leaned in like it was the first time.

From heartfelt speeches to the perfectly timed first dance, every moment hit just right. And when the open dance floor started? Let’s just say this crew knew how to party.

The Final Toast

Amanda and Dom wrapped up the evening exactly how it should be surrounded by their favorite people, completely in love, and ready to take on forever.

We were honored to be part of this day and witness the kind of connection that radiates through every smile, every tear, and every kiss caught in golden light.
