What a night! Courtney + Greg braved some serious rain, were champions when it came to the rain plan, and also had one of the sweetest first looks of all time. These two sweethearts have the best family and friends surrounding them, and we loved being a part of their day. The vows they wrote themselves brought us all to tears and that dry ice during their first dance? Completely magical.

Congratulations, you beauties! We know you’re going to have an amazing life together!

What a dream couple! Sarah + Andrew had such a marvelous day. Brique was the perfect setting for the two of them to say their vows, and the emotional ceremony was followed by an excellent dinner and some pretty incredible dancing by their niece, Sydney! We loved working with these two smart, sweet, down-to-earth people, and the photos are GORGEOUS.

Congratulations, you two! We hope you have a long and happy life together!

VENUE: EAST BANK CLUB | PHOTOGRAPHY: GENEVA BOYETT | FLORALS: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | DJ: TOAST + JAM | CAKE: ALLIANCE BAKERY | HAIR: JOSIE JOSEPH | MAKE-UP: LAUREN FRENDEN

What an absolutely beautiful day! The weather was perfect for Molly + Jeremy’s wedding on the roof of the East Bank Club! A sweet ceremony was performed by their friend Santi who navigated the noisy boats handedly — the risks of having an outdoor ceremony in Chicago are totally worth it. Molly + Jeremy are incredibly sweet together, one of those couples completely in tune. We loved coordinating their day, meeting their families, and getting to know them. They danced the night away to some fabulous tunes, too!

Congratulations, Molly + Jeremy!

AELO Alumni | Morgan + Andrew, 6/29/19

VENUE: MOTOR ROW BREWING | FLORIST: PHILLIPS FLOWERS | PHOTOGRAPHER: MELODY JOY CO. | MAKEUP: CRYSTAL-EYEZ MAKEUP AND BEAUTY LOUNGE | CATERING: SMOKE DADDY | PIE: BANG BANG PIE AND BISCUITS | DJ: LEEROY LANES | DRUMLINE: CHICAGO BULLS STAMPEDE

FUN.  That is the word that best describes Morgan and Drew's big day. When I found out that their wedding was going to be at a brewery, I knew we were going to have a fun time! Motor Row Brewing closed the whole place down for these two regulars, and even offered tours of the brewery to guests.  Morgan and Drew also made sure to include their close family and friends in their special day. During the ceremony, Drew's sister sang a beautiful song while Morgan walked down the aisle. Their officiant was a very close friend of Morgan's and provided a very intimate ceremony.  Morgan and Drew surprised their guests with a drum line to start off the dancing! These two newlyweds even got in on the action and had a drumming duel.  That got their guests fired up to dance the night away! What a special day filled with dancing, laughing and of course, love.
