Jessi & Andy :: Married!

October 18 was a gorgeous, sunny, perfect day for Jessi & Andy’s wedding and reception at the lovely Frederik Meijer Gardens. Christina and I had blast with this energetic group! Jessi & Andy kept their wedding small and intimate, with a group of family and friends in a beautiful setting.

Below is the preview, and the slideshow can be viewed here.

Perfect day, no?

 

Jessi had these amazing earrings! She was so calm getting ready, and excited to get married.

 

Jessi was GORGEOUS!

 

The lovely bridesmaids…

 

The gardens were all decked out for fall.

 

Jessi & Andy’s son Parker – both of their boys are absolute dolls!

 

Jessi & Andy had their “first look” in the tropical garden before we took off in a golf cart for pictures in the rest of the gardens.

 

 

These two make such a beautiful couple!

 

 

 

The stunning bride…

 

The handsome groom…

 

 

Jessi and her mom used to show horses, so we had to get a shot with the da Vinci horse!

 

Jessi & Andy with sons Parker and Ashton – what a beautiful family.

 

These girls were fabulous!

 

Speaking of fabulous, I loved the simplicity of the flowers the girls carried. So elegant!

 

Andy and the gentlemen…

 

These boys had SO much fun with the mini-gate in the children’s garden. I think they would have stayed all night if they could have.

 

Are you serious? Wow!!!

 

We had so many beautiful details to photograph…

 

Jessi’s uncle performed the ceremony while the bride & groom were surrounded by their guests.

 

 

I almost ate all of the desserts. Good thing I had a job to do!

 

 

I’m so glad I caught this sweet moment between Jessi’s mom and her grandson.

 

I’m sure people thought Christina and I were crazy, but I’ve never seen such a beautiful floor! Perfect for the ring shot…

 

Jessi and Andy, thanks so much for letting me share in your wedding day. It was a perfect celebration, and I wish you the very best in your lives together!
