Jeffray + Brenda @ Frederik Meijer Gardens

I finally met Jeffray and Brenda on their wedding day. We had emailed back and forth many times and spoken over the telephone a couple of times, but never actually met in person. As soon as I met both of them though, I knew I was in for a fun day! They both mentioned to me in the first 15 minutes that they were marrying their best friend and were so happy to have me involved. Needless to say, they were a fun and adventurous couple that was willing to brave the rain/drizzle at Frederik Meijer Gardens for their outdoor ceremony. They were even brave enough to stay outside and grab some outdoor images enough though the rain continued to come down on all of us! Looking at the photos though, you'd never know it was raining or had rained. Be sure to visit Grand Rapids photographer Tiberius Images website to view their complete online album.

Brenda was busy getting ready in the Bridal Room - I love the mirror that Frederik Meijer has in the room!

Brenda and her Dad walked the last 100 feet or so to the waterfall ceremony site.

A photo of Jeffray as he says his vows. This was taken from behind the bridesmaids. His expression is powerful.

Kissing in front of the waterfall at the Gardens - what a great location, regardless of weather.

They wanted to incorporate the conservatory, the horse and a kiss somehow - this is what I came up with!

Beautiful image in front of the conservatory. I took this with a telephoto lens to compress the background and it turned out wonderful!

Their reception was in the lower level of the Gardens with a big window looking out back. They had a great reception with their close friends and family.
