Photographer Notes: Mallory and Josh had a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding at Independence Grove. The venue is part of the Forest Preserve network in Libertyville, Ilinois. And, it has the most lush backdrops in the area. The couple arrived together at the venue and we trekked around the area for couple pics, and then added in the wedding party. Afterwards, we headed to the nearby pavilion for the Ketubah signing and indoors for the traditional Jewish ceremony. Then, it was time for the craziest Hora dance ever!! Thanks to the couple for such a lovely day and thanks for the craziness!
