spring wedding

AELO Alumni | Tova + Ronan, 4/30/23

CEREMONY: BOND CHAPEL | RECEPTION: QUARTINO’S | FLORIST: POPPY | PHOTOGRAPHY: BETH ROONEY

University of Chicago alums Tova and Ronan returned to their beloved alma mater to say their wedding vows in the place where they met and fell in love. The late April weather was cool and rainy which made for a deliciously moody aesthetic in the gothic Bond Chapel. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a small champagne reception where they drank and danced the Hora. A short shuttle ride then brought guests to the classic Chicago restaurant, Quartino's for dinner a dancing.

What a beautiful night we had on the Chicago River with Claire + Cyrus! Day of coordination is such a joy with a bride as organized as Claire was! We loved everything from the look of the farm tables, to the boat blasting Usher's "Yeah!" -- Claire's SONG in college -- to the sweet first dance and the incredible dance party. Even the heat wasn't so bad! And let's talk about Claire's beautiful dress! So unique. They are two of the sweetest people, who are so in love, and we couldn't have been happier to be a part of their day. 

Congratulations, you two! We know you're going to have a long and happy life together!

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!
