It was a beautiful sunny fall day when Ryan and I arrived at Holy Family Catholic Church in Decatur, IL for Justin & Alex’s wedding. Everyone was there, ready and excited for the day and festivities. I got some quick shots of the girls while they were getting ready and took some detail photos and before we knew it, it was time for the ceremony to begin!

This service was a challenge to photograph because Fr. Joe preferred us not to use flash during the service and to stay towards the back once the procession was over. But we got some lovely pictures of a very beautiful service. And can I just say – Alex! You looked absolutely stunning!

I loved this idea! Releasing brightly colored balloons after the service! It totally fit with their color scheme and Alex looked so happy!

After the ceremony – we all hopped on over to Imboden Creek to get some more photos of the bridal party, family, and gorgeous bride and groom! 🙂

Once we were done the real party started at the Decatur Club when the bridal party arrived. And the fun, toasts, and dancing ensued!

——————————————————————————————

• Your dress was beautiful! It looked like it was made for just for you! Where did you find it?
My dress was from David’s Bridal in Champaign.

• The guys’ suits were cool with the embroidery on the back of the vests. Where did you get those?
The guys suits were from Seno’s in Decatur.

• I loved the girls’ dresses with those colored sashes! Where did you find those?
We had the sashes made, I bought the fabric from JoAnn’s, measured each girl around the bust and from the back of the bust to the back of the knee and we had a friend of ours Glenda make them for us.

• Is there anyone you’d like to credit who helped out with your wedding?
My mom did a lot of the work, along with Kaitie, my sister in law!

• What was the most memorable part of your day?
I think just the whole day coming together and everyone doing their job correctly was the best part!

• Did you have a favorite detail from your wedding?
I loved all the colors we were able to incorporate and work together. They blended perfectly!

• Do you have any advice for future brides and grooms?
Do not wait until 3 months before the wedding to start planning! You will go crazy, also get all of your final appointments done at least a month and a half early and then you will have less to worry about 2 weeks before the wedding!

• If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would do differently?
I wouldnt do anything differently at all!

• Are you guys going anywhere for your honeymoon?
We may go to New York at some point in the next year for our honeymoon but for the time being justin cant get off work!

Alex and Justin – Thank you so much for including us in your special day! We felt so blessed to be there on your wedding day and help you capture all your memories! We wish you many years of love, fun, and joy together!
