We loved Katie + Bryan's sweet fall wedding! Pumpkins everywhere! It was so much fun planning with these two over the course of a year, and we had a blast with them on the day of! Katie was absolutely stunning and the two of them were just so in love. From their escort card pumpkins to their sweets table to their choreographed first dance, we absolutely adored how this day came together and were so glad we got to be a part of it.

Congratulations, you two beautiful people! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

VENUE: NORTHMOOR COUNTRY CLUB | PHOTGRAPHY: AMANDA MEGAN MILLER | FLORIST: FLEUR | BAND: HOWARD LEVY BAND | CHICAGO CHUPPAH | CAKE: BENT FORK BAKERY | VIDEOGRAPHER: VANILLA VIDEO

What a gorgeous start to the year! Jamie and Brian were super sweet, so easy to work with, and it was a total joy coordinating their wedding. From the sweet ceremony performed by Jamie's dad, to the adorable first dance and tear-inducing toasts, and the ROCKIN' dance floor, we had such a good time with these two! The Northmoor Country Club was a gorgeous setting, and our wonderful Amanda Megan Miller captured the day beautifully (which is pretty easy when the groom is adorable and the bride has that gorgeous Julia Roberts-esque smile)! Congratulations, Jamie and Brian! We know you're going to have the most amazing life together!

AELO Alumni | Ellen + Ross 11/7/15

VENUE: PINSTRIPES NORTHBROOK | PHOTOGRAPHY: APARNA PAUL JAIN | FLOWERS: FOUR FINCHES

For a couple who met in a bowling league, Pinstripes was the perfect location for Ellen and Ross to share their special day with loved ones.  This fun-loving couple wanted a relaxed environment where their family and friends could have fun and enjoy each other's company. Their family stepped in to help create this day special too.  The groom's father built the beautiful chuppah that was adorned with gorgeous fall flowers.  The bride's father created the photo booth that was a favorite of many of the guests. The guests were also able to enjoy bocce ball during cocktail hour and sit outside and make their own s'mores while sitting by the fire! Congratulations, Ellen and Ross!
