Lauren & Andy’s Gorgeous Redfield Estate at The Grove Wedding

Lauren and Andy met during “Welcome Week” their Freshman year at Northwestern University in 2016. After getting to know each other, having a few Engineering classes together, and getting closer with a small group of shared friends, they slowly developed feelings for one another and Andy decided to ask Lauren out that Spring. Andy invited Lauren to meet at the lakefront, but she didn’t realize it would just be the two of them until right beforehand. Andy serenaded Lauren with "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, confessed his feelings, and asked her out – and the rest is history!

Through the rest of college, Lauren and Andy supported each other through ups and downs, studied abroad together in London and traveled across Europe, became best friends, created hundreds of inside jokes, and fell completely in love. After graduating, they moved in together and adopted a cat named Artemis. They passionate about cooking and trying new recipes, enjoy going to the gym and running together, and traveling. On October 1st, 2023 they took a trip to Oahu, Hawaii where Andy proposed to Lauren on a beach during the sunrise.

Last Fall I got to know Lauren and Andy at their engagement session, it was only fitting for us to take those photographs along the lake on the Northwestern campus where Andy first confessed his feelings to Lauren. Andy brought along his guitar to recreate the sweetly romantic moment, it was so endearing to see these two in their element. When their wedding day arrived we were really excited to capture the love between Lauren and Andy at The Redfield Estate at The Grove, this was truly such a perfect and unforgettable day! Lauren looked stunning in her lacy Maggie Sottero gown surrounded by her sunny bridesmaids in their yellow Birdy Grey dresses. Dramatic and beautiful loose florals from EcoWilde made this day that much more gorgeous, everything moment and every detail just felt natural, warm and inviting, just like Lauren and Andy’s love. Truly, this was a day we wish we could live over and over again, what an honor it was to be alongside Lauren and Andy as they started their forever together!
