Andrew and Camryn Middendorf’s Wedding

Andrew & Camryn: A Romantic Wildflower Wedding at Crooked Willow

Andrew and Camryn’s wedding was truly one for the books—filled with love, laughter, and the kind of golden light that makes every photo glow. As one of the first couples to fully embrace our wildflower field, the newest addition to our Minnesota barn venue, they brought their vision to life in the most stunning way. From start to finish, their day was personal, romantic, and full of heartfelt moments that perfectly reflected who they are as a couple.

High School Sweethearts

To begin their story, Andrew and Camryn first met in high school, where their friendship quickly blossomed into something more. Over time, that connection deepened, and years later, their youthful spark was still shining bright. Surrounded by family, friends, and fields of wildflowers, they said “I do” in a celebration that felt both timeless and full of joy.

A “Sage and Spice” Celebration

Moving into the design of their day, Andrew and Camryn chose a theme they called Sage and Spice—a perfect blend of soft, earthy tones and warm, inviting accents. The color palette beautifully complemented the natural charm of the venue, from the rustic barn to the vibrant wildflower field. Moreover, every detail felt intentional and true to their style, creating a day that was both elegant and effortlessly relaxed.

Favorite Moments from the Day

When asked to choose a favorite moment, Andrew and Camryn found it nearly impossible. “It’s hard to choose—it was an absolute dream day!” they shared. Throughout the evening, they loved watching their guests fill the dance floor and celebrate with them. However, one moment stood out above the rest—their sunset photos in the wildflower field. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the couple shared quiet, joy-filled moments surrounded by color and light. Ultimately, it was a perfect reflection of their love story and the beauty of the day.

Why They Loved Crooked Willow

In addition to the stunning scenery, Andrew and Camryn appreciated the ease of having everything in one place. “We loved being in one place for the day,” they said. “Taking out the travel really allowed us to fully appreciate the day.” Furthermore, the stained glass in the barn and the wildflower field were standout features that made their celebration feel both unique and unforgettable. The combination of convenience, charm, and natural beauty made Crooked Willow the perfect setting for their dream wedding.

A Proposal to Remember

Before their big day, Andrew’s proposal set the tone for their romantic journey. It was straight out of a winter romance movie—complete with snow, twinkling lights, and a surprise she never saw coming. To keep Camryn from getting suspicious, he planned the proposal for the day after his birthday. After a fancy dinner, he suggested a walk through a Christmas light display at a local park.

However, when they arrived, the lights were off, the paths were unplowed, and the temperature had dropped below zero. Even so, Andrew was determined to make the moment special. He carried Camryn through the snow to a lit-up gazebo, where he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Despite the cold, it was a moment they’ll never forget—proof that even imperfect plans can lead to the most perfect memories.
