AELO Alumni | Laura + Max, 5/29/16

What an absolutely wonderful couple. We loved Laura and Max's book themed wedding! They pulled all of their details off so well, and it was absolutely gorgeous. From their touching ceremony in the gorgeous Bond Chapel, to the homemade challah on every table from the MOG, and the absolutely packed dance floor, these two had a wonderful sunshiney day. And if the love in the room is any indication of their future, these two cuties are going to have a very long, happy life together.

Congratulations, Laura and Max!

AELO Alumni | Dayna + David, 7/2/16

These two lovebirds had such an amazing day for their wedding. With the sun shining in on the Sculpture Gardens at the Bridgeport Art Center, David and Dayna were more than ready to tie the knot. The love that these two had for each other was beyond evident, from start to finish.

The day started off with a beautiful ceremony officiated by the Groom's sister (who is an AELO alum too!) Between her heartfelt words (and jokes) and the couples honest and loving words to each other, there was not a dry eye in the house!

The reception was no exception to all of the amazingness either! The day was filled with personal touches that perfectly described Dayna and David's love for each other and for all of their family and friends. All of the centerpieces were handmade by the bride! Each bouquet was made from paper that had a significance to each bridesmaid. The brides was filled with flowers made from pages of her favorite books. The homemade videos, the family portraits and the cookie cake with milk and cookies were all things that meant something special to the couple. The night ended with lots of singing and dancing with the amazing band, The Personnel. They made sure that there was a smile on every face and that the dance floor was never empty. Best of luck to a great life together, Dayna and David!

Such wonderful people. Such incredible weather. And that DRESS. Kristen and Brian got married in June on the most beautiful day surrounded by their closest friends and relatives. It was such a relaxed, happy time, and their little touches from Up were so incredibly sweet. We loved the simple flowers and gorgeous neutrals, but most of all, we loved getting to be a part of this beautiful couple's love story. Congratulations, you two! We know you'll have a lifetime of adventures together!

AELO Alumni | Amanda + Leah, 6/4/16

What an absolutely amazing evening! Working with Amanda and Leah was an absolute dream! They were so in love, there was a Pooh Bear costume, delicious food stations and donuts, and the weather even decided to cooperate for cocktail hour. These two knew how to throw a party!

We were honored to witness their commitment to each other. These are truly the nights when our job doesn't feel like our job. Congratulations, Amanda and Leah! We love you!

AELO Alumni | Courtney + Marc, 5/21/16

What do you get when you have a super gorgeous couple, a vintage car, a bride who can SANG, gorgeous florals and venue, and a rockin' dance floor? This amazing wedding! Courtney and Marc were high school sweethearts and they tied the knot on the most gorgeous spring day imaginable. We had so much fun with this down-to-earth, sweet pair, and know their lives together will be nothing short of extraordinary.

We'll let the incredible photos from Cristina G speak for themselves. WOW. Congratulations, you two!
