Laura & Andy’s Elegant Wedding at the George Eastman House
A kiss in the garden at the George Eastman House
Some love stories begin quietly — not with grand gestures, but with simple moments that slowly grow into something extraordinary. Laura and Andy’s journey started on the frontlines of their workplace sales team, where Andy was instantly drawn to Laura’s warmth and radiant energy. He admits he had a crush from her very first day.
In a move that would later become part of their favorite origin story, Andy asked Laura to watch his cats while he was out of town. When he returned, he invited her to Seven Story Brewing along the Erie Canal as a thank-you. What was meant to be a casual drink blossomed into hours of effortless conversation. They talked so long that the staff eventually dimmed the lights around them — a gentle nudge that closing time had arrived. Still, neither of them was ready to leave.
Despite their undeniable chemistry, Laura took her time. In true slow-burn romance fashion, nearly a year passed before they officially became a couple. But once they did, their love unfolded quickly and fearlessly. Nine months later, they packed up their lives and moved across the country to Colorado, embracing adventure hand in hand. A year after that, Andy brought their story beautifully full circle by proposing at Seven Story — the very place their first date had begun.
A Timeless Wedding at the George Eastman House
Laura and Andy chose the historic George Eastman House in Rochester, NY as the setting for their wedding day — a venue known for its timeless elegance, romantic gardens, and classic architecture. Their celebration perfectly matched the refined beauty of the space.
The wedding party wore classic black tuxedos paired with sage green floral dresses, creating a sophisticated palette that complemented the soft white, blush, and pale yellow florals. The gentle colors and lush arrangements added a dreamy, romantic atmosphere to the historic surroundings.
As Laura and Andy exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, there was a quiet magic in the air — the kind that comes from two people who know they’ve found their forever. Every glance and smile reflected years of friendship, patience, and deep love.
An Elegant Reception at The Historic German House
The celebration continued at The Historic German House, where candlelight, music, and joyful laughter filled the evening. Guests dined, danced, and toasted to a couple whose love story reminds us that the best relationships are built on friendship first.
From heartfelt speeches to a packed dance floor, every moment of the reception reflected Laura and Andy’s joyful spirit. Their wedding day felt less like a single event and more like the beginning of a beautiful new chapter — one shared with the people who love them most.
Laura and Andy’s romantic Rochester NY wedding was a testament to timing, courage, and the quiet power of choosing each other every day. Their story proves that sometimes the most meaningful love begins in the most unexpected places — and grows into something truly timeless.
