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!

AELO Alumni | Alison + Justin 8/22/15

VENUE: ALICE MILLAR CHAPEL, PARKES HALL AT NORTHWESTERN | CATERING: FIG | PHOTOGRAPHY: KELSEY JORISSEN | VIDEOGRAPHY: DON MARKUS | FLORIST: JANET GALLAGHER DESIGNS | LIGHTING: CHICAGO SPEAKER RENTAL | DJ: DJ-CHICAGO | HAIR/MAKEUP: TOTAL IMAGE 

Planning with these two unbelievably brilliant, and unbelievably beautiful, people was a joy. We love when a couple knows exactly what they want! Their detailed vision came to life on a gorgeous summer day on the Northwestern campus, and just look at those radiant smiles. A sweet, touching ceremony followed by songs and toasts from their friends and family, followed by dancing and laughter made this a wonderful day. 

We wish this truly striking, special couple a lifetime of success and happiness together. And be sure to check out Alison's impressive work as an investigative journalist in her upcoming book, “Exoneree Diaries: The Fight for Innocence, Independence and Identity”. We're proud to call her an AELO Alum!

Some more summer happiness! We helped Johanna and Brent plan their wedding while they were living in Tunisia, and if ever there were two more down-to-earth people, we've never met them. What a gorgeous event! We love these two and wish them all the happiness in the world.
