Notre Dame Football Wedding – Sarah Sage Photography – Chicago Wedding Photographer

February 6, 2026

Christine and Robby were married at Notre Dame’s beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart on a rainy day in March. It was very important to them to get married where they met and for their guests to enjoy every part of the day. Even their adorable dog, Arnold, joined them for the celebration.

Robby played football for Notre Dame so we were able to take photos on the field and even inside the recently remodeled locker room. Christine and Robby were all smiles as they walked down the 50 yard line, umbrella in one hand, football in the other.

When it came to planning and decor, no detail went overlooked. The South Ballroom of the Morris Inn was beautifully decorated with huge floral centerpieces, immaculate place settings and a vintage-inspired 5-tier wedding cake. The white uplighting illuminated every detail, making the room a show-stopper from the moment you walked in.

As the reception events came to a close, Christine and Robby went outside and toasted one another in the pouring rain.

It may not have been the weather we were hoping for but that didn’t stop Christine and Robby from having the most perfect wedding day. So perfect in fact that their adorable puppy Arnold joined the celebration.
