Rock, Chalk, J-Hawk! Our own Samantha Johnson was more than thrilled to find out that Andrea was a fellow Kansas alum, and may have squealed a bit when the J-Hawk inspired cake was delivered. This was our first wedding at one of the city's lesser known venues, the Italian Sports Hall of Fame, which happens to have an incredible 4th floor rooftop deck with one of the best skyline views in Chicago. The rain threatened all day to keep us from using the space, but at the last minute the skies cleared, and we were able to make the couple very happy by having the outdoor ceremony they'd hoped for. Andrea's bright yellow sunflowers, adorable details, and a really fun group of guests made this one of our 2014 favorites!

VENUE: RAVENSWOOD EVENT CENTER | PHOTOGRAPHY: SPRUNG PHOTO | FLORIST: BLUMGARTEN & CO. | DJ: TOAST & JAM

You can see in Victoria Sprung's photos the way these two look at each other - they are like that all the time! Jennifer and Mike love each other immensely, and their beautiful wedding at Ravenswood Event Center reflected that love. Jen is a teacher, so by nature she is extremely organized and well put-together, which always makes our job easier! We had a great time helping her put together all of the details that made this wedding beautiful and a lot of fun.

AELO Alumni | Christiana + Matt 7/12/14

In true Grey's Anatomy fashion, Christiana and Matt met when she was his resident at the hospital where they both work as doctors. Christiana's mother even had a fake newspaper printed for all of their guests, explaining not only their origin story, but the events of the weekend to unfold. They had a stunning ceremony at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, followed by cocktails, dinner and dancing at the beautiful Palmer House hotel. The traditional Greek family dances were a highlight of this lovely wedding, and everyone had a blast!
