I kept thinking to myself I was in a hallmark movie while photographing Julia & Alex’s wedding day! As Julia stepped out of her childhood home to head to the chapel, all of her neighbors were watching from their driveways/windows as she got onto the bus – some even recording her on their phones so proudly. 🥺 Then as we arrived to the little white chapel in downtown Long Grove where Julia’s mom’s boutique has resided for over 20 years; the streets, shops and even the little gas station were decorated with balloons and decor celebrating these two! It was truly the sweetest day filled with so much love!
