Holy Cross Catholic Parish in South Bend Indiana Wedding and Morris Park Country Club Reception | Paige and Sean

I’ve never seen a bride as sweet and excited as Paige! She was absolutely beaming the entire day—and the way Sean looked at her with such deep love was something truly special. From start to finish, their wedding day was filled with joy, reverence, and celebration, set against the backdrop of one of South Bend’s most beloved Catholic churches.

As a South Bend wedding photographer who’s had the privilege of capturing weddings near the University of Notre Dame and throughout the area, there’s something so timeless about Holy Cross Catholic Parish. Its sacred space and stained-glass warmth felt like the perfect setting for Paige and Sean to exchange their vows before God, family, and friends.

The beauty of a Catholic wedding lies not only in the liturgy but in the quiet moments—the way Paige clutched her father’s arm walking down the aisle, the proud smiles of their families, the peaceful stillness during the Consecration. Sean couldn’t take his eyes off her. There’s no other way to put it—he was captivated.

After the Mass, the celebration continued with a stunning reception at Morris Park Country Club. The evening light filtered through the club’s big windows, casting a soft glow over a room full of laughter, clinking glasses, and heartfelt toasts. From their romantic first dance to the joy on the dance floor later that night, it was clear: Paige and Sean’s day was just the beginning of a beautiful life together.

This wedding was not only a highlight of my season, but a true reminder of why I do what I do. As a Notre Dame wedding photographer, it’s always a blessing to witness and preserve days like this—rooted in faith, full of meaning, and bursting with joy.
