Wow, we had such a great time photographing Katie & Ryan for their recent engagement! They are both Notre Dame alum who recently graduated and moved away, but they were back on campus for the weekend. They had been searching for a local photographer in South Bend and stumbled across Dave Thompson Photography, and we’re so glad they did!
They were back in South Bend for the big Notre Dame vs. USC football game and wanted to schedule the shoot during their time in town. We knew it would be a busy weekend on the ND campus, so we had originally planned to take photos on Fri. evening, but due to storms and rain, we had to make a last minute decision to change to Sat. morning at sunrise. It was a little chilly at 7:30am, but it turned out to be a great excuse to cuddle up to your fiance and get warm for some great photos!
We started out in front of the Hesburgh Library for some fun shots!
After shooting at the library, we took a walk around campus to find another location. The ND campus is so amazing for taking fall photos! We love when couples search for a photographer near them and come across us! We especially love when the couple is as fun and outgoing as Katie & Ryan were!
The Golden Dome engagement photo! This couple shares such a great set of memories together at Notre Dame, we loved being able to capture this special season in their lives together :)
Beautiful Saint Marys Lake photos with Katie & Ryan for their engagement photos. This is a beautiful spot for wedding photos as well!
So much fun to shoot in the Grotto as well, as Katie & Ryan spend some quite time together and enjoy each others company.
Congrats to Katie & Ryan on their engagement…you guys rock!
