Meet Melanie and Leo! They and their families are the absolute sweetest people!

These two lovebirds met on a poetry forum (note to self… work on my poetry). How’s that for a meet cute? I met them at Lake Arlington park on the morning of their wedding for first look and some photos with their immediate families.

From there we headed to Saranello’s for their ceremony and brunch reception. It’s no secret that I love brunch weddings. Mimosas, pancakes and I dos?! Sign me up! I love that they incorporated their love of Disney into the details, favors and even their wedding day looks (be sure to check out Leo’s boutonniere).

Mel’s mom came up some fun games to play at the tables and everyone passed the mic around to tell stories, give congratulations and advice to the newlyweds. It was the perfect day!
