Jason and Nina’s engagement session was the perfect mix of iconic and personal.
We started with classic Notre Dame campus backdrops, then finished at home for a second half that felt cozy, relaxed, and real.
Notre Dame is always a solid choice for engagement photos.
The architecture is timeless, the campus is full of variety, and you can get a full gallery without bouncing all over town. We kept things moving like a casual stroll, stopping when the light looked good and capturing portraits that felt natural instead of overly posed.
Jason and Nina fit the campus vibe perfectly, classic, connected, and easygoing together.
After campus, we headed to their home for the second half of the session.
At-home engagement photos are one of our favorites because they feel so personal. Your home is where real life happens. That comfort shows up in the photos right away.
We kept it simple and captured relaxed moments that felt like a real snapshot of their life together.
This pairing gives you variety without feeling scattered.
Notre Dame brings the iconic, timeless portraits. Home brings the personal, cozy, “this is us” feeling. Together, it creates a gallery that feels complete and story-driven.
1) Plan two outfits.
Something classic for campus, and something more relaxed for home.
2) Keep the home portion simple.
A few areas with good window light is all we need. Your photos don’t need a perfect magazine home to look great.
3) Build in a little buffer time.
Switching locations is easy, but a few extra minutes keeps everything stress-free.
If you love the idea of mixing iconic portraits with real-life lifestyle moments, this kind of session is a total win.
We’ll help you plan the flow, keep things relaxed, and capture photos that feel like you two from start to finish.
