AELO Alumni | Kate + Mike, 6/28/19

CEREMONY: ST. MIKE’S OLD TOWN | RECEPTION: RIVER ROAST | PHOTOGRAPHER: RYAN MOORE PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORALS: TWIGS + BLOOMS | HAIR: SHARI THACKER | MAKE UP: ANGELA MICHELLE | DJ: DJ CHICAGO

What a stunning day we had with Kate + Mike! A little bit of rain in the morning gave way to sunshine, and these two said their vows in the beautiful St. Mike’s of Old Town. Then it was off to a night of the sweetest toasts and dancing, right on the river. Kate’ mom was instrumental to this day going beautifully and we were delighted to execute her vision. Kate + Mike were so in love, and we know they’re going to have a long and beautiful life together!

Congratulations, cuties!

Sweet. Hilarious. Adorable. So in love. It doesn't get any better than clients like Tammy and Joe. Their down-to-earth, book-themed wedding was so much fun to coordinate, and that first look photo will never get old! We loved their short'n'sweet ceremony that celebrated the two of them, and the decoupaged vases were simple and perfect. Their wedding party was called their "Matrimony Homies" instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen, which we loved! 

And did we mention that Tammy walked down the aisle to her friend and bridesmaid Stephanie playing "Forever" by Jesse and the Rippers on piano? What else can we even say? Awesome wedding, awesome people, and we wish them all the best!

The stunning Candice and Andrew wed in 2012, and they are continuing their life together just as their wedding was: full of uniqueness, love, and hilarity.

AELO Alumni | Michael + Thomas 8/8/15

VENUE: W HOTEL | PHOTOGRAPHY: CAMPBELL PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS | FLORIST: EXQUISITE DESIGNS | CAKE: ALLIANCE BAKERY 

Quite possibly the most adorable couple of ALL TIME. Michael and Thomas planned a beautiful wedding, and we absolutely loved it. M&T was the theme, and they did a "Who's the Bride?" contest, which Michael won by a landslide! And the Polaroids used for voting were priceless. Their choreographed dance with LIFTS had everyone in the room cheering, and we were just so happy to be a part of this incredible day! The staff of the W, the vendors, the couple...everything about it was just wonderful. We wish M&T a lifetime of happiness!

Sweet, whip-smart, and adorable, these two lawyers had an absolutely gorgeous day to get married! The Ivy Room was the perfect setting for these beautiful people, and we gathered an incredible team of vendors to make their dream day happen (if we do say so ourselves)! Planning with them for over a year was a blast, and we loved seeing it come to fruition so beautifully. And once again, Ingrid Bonne worked her magic and captured every moment perfectly. Congratulations, Sara + Jason! We adore you and wish you all the best!
