REAL WEDDINGS, REAL TALK
AELO Alumni | Jessica + Mike, 7/27/18
VENUE: CITY VIEW LOFT | PHOTOGRAPHER: MEREDITH DONNELLY PHOTOGRAPHY | CATERING: LM CATERING + EVENTS | FLORIST: YOUTH + YARROW | SOUND SYSTEM: ECHO LIMO
We had a great time assisting with Jessica and Mike’s nuptials at City View Loft on a hot July day. The mother of the bride made a lot of the DIY decorations that blew us away (read: amazing, giant, wooden “W” in the entrance). Everyone in Jessica and Mike’s families and bridal party was so sweet and enthusiastic—we can’t recall another bridal party cheering when we said we were going to start the rehearsal! They were definitely ready to celebrate this marriage. The whole day was filled with so much love and laughter; we wish them the very best.
AELO Alumni | Megan + Paul, 5/12/18
CEREMONY: THE LOGAN THEATRE | RECEPTION: THE JOINERY | PHOTOGRAPHY: JIM VONDRUSKA | DINNER: HONEY BUTTER FRIED CHICKEN | STAFF: CAROL'S STAFFING | BARTENDING: DRINKS ON ME | DJ: HARSH SINGH | SHUTTLE: REGGIE'S | PHOTO BOOTH: FOTIO | HAIR + MAKEUP: SARA JEAN STEVENS FOR GRACE STUDIO
What an incredible time we had with the creative Megan + Paul! These two were so in love on their wedding day, and we loved every minute of it. Their ceremony was in a movie theatre, their dog Ripley walked down the aisle, their after party was in a speakeasy, and Megan changed into a sparkly gold jumpsuit at the end of the night. There is nothing more we want from clients than that! They took the rain in stride, and had a blast with their friends and family. What a beautiful couple.
Congratulations, you two!
AELO Alumni | Annette + Adam, 5/26/18
VENUE: LOW RES | PHOTOGRAPHY: ANNA ZAJAC | CATERING: REAL KITCHEN | DJ: TOAST + JAM | OFFICIANT: REBEKKA JAMES | FLORALS: MARGUERITE GARDENS | CAKE: WHOLE FOODS
The sweetest, most fun-loving couple got married, and we were so excited to have been a part of it! Annette + Adam are funny, kind, and totally in love. They had a clear vision for their day, and it was executed beautifully. We love the tropical feel! The ceremony was full of laughter, and following an excellent dinner from Real Kitchen, the dance floor was alive all night! What a beautiful couple and a beautiful night.
Congratulations,ann you gorgeous kids! We know your life together is going to be amazing!
AELO Alumni | Kaitlin + Rich, 6/2/18
VENUE: FOUNTAIN BLUE | PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, PHOTOBOOTH: TIMOTHY WHALEY ASSOCIATES | DJ: LIZZIEBEATS | HAIR: LINDSEY RAGER | MAKEUP: JENNI AHERN
What a joy it is when one of AELO's very own gets married! Kaitlin has been a wonderful assistant to us these last few seasons, and seeing her get married was such a joy. Rich and Kaitlin are so in love, and they had a blast at their wedding! We loved watching them have so much fun! Disney themes were prevalent, their guests tore up the dance floor, and how about that CAKE! We love it!
Congratulations, Kaitlin + Rich! We love you and are so happy for you!
AELO Alumni | Kate + Ted, 5/5/18
VENUE: GREENHOUSE LOFT | PHOTOGRAPHY: CAREY PRIMEAU | CATERING: ENTERTAINING COMPANY | FLORIST: FOUR FINCHES | CAKE + CUPCAKES: SWEET MANDY B'S | DJ: RICK @ TEN TWELVE ENTERTAINMENT | VIDEOGRAPHY: VANILLA VIDEO
What an incredible evening. We had so much fun with the down-to-earth, hilarious, gorgeous Kate + Ted! They are so in love, and they fit together perfectly. Kate was so on top of everything, and we had a wonderful time executing her ideas. These two have so much fun together, and it showed on every minute of their wedding day. This is what a wedding is all about -- a celebration of two fantastic people surrounded by love.
Congratulations, Kate + Ted! We absolutely adore you and know you're going to have an amazing life together.
