Lillian and Andrew’s heartfelt wedding day was hosted at the Crossed Keys Estate in Andover, NJ. Their wedding day includes a day of family-fun, a vibrant color palette accenting their joyful, fun-loving personalities, and a one-of-a-kind love story captured at the Crossed Keys Estate, Andover by Crossed Keys Estate NJ Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre.
The Couple
The couple are fun-loving, joyful, and energetic. They love sharing time together with their best friends, their families, and enjoying athletics, and the outdoors.
The Proposal
Lillian and Andrew began dating in elementary school and the groom asked for Lillian’s hand in marriage two years prior to their wedding. Andrew designed an absolutely beautiful custom heirloom engagement ring. To make his proposal extra special, he incorporated their family and friends, the people that they love the most to celebrate by their side!

The couple’s color palette included bright, sunny mustard yellows, contrasting with baby pinks, tropical oranges, an abundance of textures of lush greenery. Their gorgeous color palette was designed and coordinated surrounding Andrew’s custom burgundy suit designed at Indochino, Short Hills.
A few highlights captured include Lillian’s bridals and the couple’s first look.
