Saturday the 28th Amanda and John got married at the gorgeous Frederick Meijer Gardens amidst the coming of the storm. We had a few tense moments of wondering whether or not to move the ceremony indoors or not, but in the end decided to move the ceremony up a few minutes instead, and fortunately it only rained for a few brief minutes. Enough to provide a rainbow on their perfect day! (Look below for the rainbow picture). We started out getting ready at the Country Inn and Suites on the Beltline, and ran into some celebrity as well. Rip Hamilton from the Detroit Pistons was there also getting ready for a wedding in which he was the best man! (My assistant got some pics but only on his cell phone). After that excitement, Amanda got her dress on, and the day went great from there, (other than my camera mishap!)
Amanda and John, hope you are having fun on your honeymoon, and here is your teaser gallery!!
I love hotel rooms for getting ready, they make for much better pictures than church nurseries!
This is John's reaction at seeing his bride for the first time that day all dressed up in her splendor!
And this is John in his own splendor...
The lovely bridge at Frederick Meijer in the "butterfly" room...
Love these columns at the Civic Auditorium, and surprisingly, this is the first time I have used them at a wedding! What was I thinking?
More fun shots at the Civic... Love the pink dresses...
This was Amanda's "Must Have" shot of the day! It took a minute to figure out where she should stand for the right angle, we finally got it...
Love it when everyone has sunglasses to wear...
Amanda has very blue eyes, I didn't even have to enhance these very much!
Classic blue bridge shot...
These bouquets were designed by Shelly Johnson, my favorite florist ever!!! Look her up at Shelly's Designs Florist, she always does a fabulous job, she did my flowers as well at my wedding, and her flowers last all day and night, I've never seen any wilting!!
I love John's face in this one, I kept telling him to hold the pose because I was trying to get my exposure right, and he had to hold this position for awhile, what a sport John!!
More of Shelly's awesome flowers...
Sand pouring is way fun...
Double click and check out the rainbow! It wasn't a full rainbow, but we could see the bottom curve of it, you may be able to see it better if you double click on the image... How lucky is that to get a rainbow on your wedding day??
Not every bride wants to lay down in their dress, so this was a treat for me!
This was right after the ceremony and right before the rain came in. I love a stormy sky...
I wish I had done this at my wedding, what a great idea...
Blue skies most of the day...
This time I had to lay down on the ground, help me up guys...
I love that in the background...
Amanda sees her groom for the first time, I'm so glad we did this outside, the front porch was perfect...
First hugs...
Wow, cute bags ladies...where's mine??
Congratulations I wish you many blessed years together!!
