Marisa and Matt said their vows at The Basilica of Notre Dame on an unforgettable Notre Dame wedding day in October. They met and fell in love during their undergrad at Notre Dame so it’s only appropriate that they married there too. The day began for us much like many wedding days do. Taking video of the couple as they prepared at their hotel. There was one small difference. All over campus wherever you went there were Secret Service agents dressed in black with earpieces. Come to find out this was part of President Biden’s security detail. He was coming to Notre Dame that day for a wedding just after Marisa and Matt’s in the Basilica.

 

Although it sounds cool, this was a point of frustration for many. Frustration because with officers in the background, helicopters overhead, and curious onlookers just hanging out it took some effort to get the shots we wanted. But we did get amazing footage of the wedding and couple!

 

Frustrations aside I think all the excitement added to the day. As the presidential motorcade drove away the president and First Lady waved to Marisa and Matt from their car! It made for unforgettable memories for the couple, guests and all us involved. I mean how many couples can say something like that happened during their wedding day?

 

The reception was hosted at the Palais Royale with cocktails in the Morris Theatre lobby. The ballroom was beautifully decorated with gold, green and white. After heartfelt words from loved ones it was time for possibly the most memorable event of the day, Marisa and Matt’s first dance! They are both incredible dancers and lit up the floor with a routine and moves like we’ve not seen before. Check out the sights and sounds from their day!
