outdoor wedding

AELO Alumni | Joanna + Brady, 8/29/21

VENUE: ELAWA FARM | CATERING: PARAMOUNT | CAKE: SWEET MANDY BS | FLORIST: FIELD AND FLORIST | PHOTOGRAPHY: HEY SISTERS PHOTOGRAPHY | DJ: O’DEA ENTERTAINMENT | PHOTOBOOTH: IN LIGHT PHOTOBOOTHS

Joanna and Brady were the ultimate resilient 2020 bride and groom. After having to postpone their wedding for over a year and changing venues when their original one closed, we were so pleased when they finally got to say "I do". It was as if the skies opened and the sun shined down upon them. And we're not waxing poetic here; that quite literally happened after a rain storm blew through just minutes before their outdoor ceremony was to begin! It was smooth sailing after that though; held at Elawa Farm in Lake Forest, Joanna and Brady's wedding made use of the gorgeous setting with an outdoor ceremony in the gardens, dining under a fabulous tent and dancing in the barn after the sunset. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to these two at the end of the evening as we'd been working with them for so long, but hopefully we can keep in touch--or at least creep on each others' instagrams :)

Arielle and Juan were the sweetest couple!  They had a gorgeous, intimate ceremony on the rooftop and you could definitely feel the love they have for each other!  Their reception was filled with colorful centerpieces and a glass blowing demo!  To top it off, they had a super cute churro bar for dessert!  Congratulations to the lovely couple!
