AELO Alumni | Jennifer + Mike 11/8/14

VENUE: RAVENSWOOD EVENT CENTER | PHOTOGRAPHY: SPRUNG PHOTO | FLORIST: BLUMGARTEN & CO. | DJ: TOAST & JAM

You can see in Victoria Sprung's photos the way these two look at each other - they are like that all the time! Jennifer and Mike love each other immensely, and their beautiful wedding at Ravenswood Event Center reflected that love. Jen is a teacher, so by nature she is extremely organized and well put-together, which always makes our job easier! We had a great time helping her put together all of the details that made this wedding beautiful and a lot of fun.

AELO Alumni | Christiana + Matt 7/12/14

VENUE: PALMER HOUSE HOTEL | CEREMONY: ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH | FLORALS: DANIELS FLORAL | BAND: CHRIS SARLAS BAND | PHOTOGRAPHER: JOHN ANDREWS PHOTOGRAPHY

In true Grey's Anatomy fashion, Christiana and Matt met when she was his resident at the hospital where they both work as doctors. Christiana's mother even had a fake newspaper printed for all of their guests, explaining not only their origin story, but the events of the weekend to unfold. They had a stunning ceremony at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, followed by cocktails, dinner and dancing at the beautiful Palmer House hotel. The traditional Greek family dances were a highlight of this lovely wedding, and everyone had a blast!
