My tips for Notre Dame weddings at The Basilica of the Sacred Heart:

Keep in mind that Notre Dame has a very limited timeframe for pictures after the ceremony. We will only have time for bride and groom photos within the church so I suggest family photos and wedding party group photos outside the church and / or at your reception venue.

• Parking can be confusing so be sure to encourage your guests to arrive early.

• The photography rules are strict and I always comply with them (no flash allowed during the ceremony, no shots from the balcony or center aisle other than the very back row).

• The campus of Notre Dame can be great for pictures. Let’s schedule enough time to do these before heading out to the reception.
