Alix & Nick’s WWII era 1940s elopement

Fedoras and cloche hats, seamed pantyhose, and tears of joy — I want all of these in my WWII era-inspired elopements. The good thing is, this wedding had it all plus the cutest couple you ever did see. All I could hear in my head was “here’s looking at you kid” in these photos.
