One part elegant with greenery, the other part blending industrial grit with glam, Sarah and Andy’s Chicago wedding is a stunner. Garfield Park Conservatory set the scene for a beautiful first look, while The Joinery bought the urban flare with it’s aesthetic. You’re sure to enjoy these images from Julia Franzosa Photography!

From the photographer: Described by the bride as “organic rustic industrial” with touches of white, ivory and wood, Sarah + Andy’s black tie wedding is the perfect balance of modern and whimsical. 150 guests attended their special day to watch the couple say their vows, then plan and water them.

How did you meet?

From the bride: We met through the dating app called Hinge. It matches you with people based on mutual Facebook friends or friends of friends. We met at Bordel and talked nonstop for a few hours. When it was time to say goodnight, Andy thought I was blowing him off because I politely refused his offer to walk me home (how was I to know yet whether or not he was a serial killer?). Andy never texted me to say that he had a great time or ask me out for a second date, and we never saw each other again. Just kidding! 6 weeks later, after I returned home from a trip to Australia, I broke her #1 dating rule and reached out to Andy to ask him on a second date. I was thinking of doing it but changed my mind but eventually saw (what I thought was) his last name ( - long story -) on the side of a truck I parked near. Accepting this gentle nudge from the universe, I texted Andy, we went on that second date, and the rest is history.
