VENUE: THE DAWSON | FLORALS: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | PHOTOGRAPHER: ZACH CADDY | DJ: GROOVE IS IN THE HEART

Ally and Jeff's wedding weekend started with a chic rooftop rehearsal and cocktail party at The Godfrey Hotel. Festivities continued the next day when Jeff and Ally said their wedding vows in an intimate candlelit ceremony upstairs at The Dawson restaurant. Flowers for Dreams outdid themselves with the decor and The Dawson team's food was every bit as delectable as it was beautiful. Espresso martini and tiramisu towers? Come on! As impressive as the food and flowers were, what really stood out was Ally and Jeff's amazing personalities, their unabashed joy and their love and devotion for one another. What a treat and true honor to help put together their wedding day. Congratulations to this wonderful couple!

AELO Alumni | Kellie + Drew, 5/2/26 - PHOTOS

What an incredible night. It’s no secret that we love our unconventional weddings, and a couple of cuties getting married at the city’s best dive bar was no exception. Kellie + Drew wanted a casual, fun wedding at their favorite place, and that’s what we delivered. Drew carefully curated their music, the “Pope” officiated, and everyone had a blast. Born to Run, indeed. We love you guys. Congratulations!
