Oh! Have you ever seen something and then been surprised that it was totally the opposite of what you thought? Well, when I photographed a wedding at the Secret Garden in Independence, I was really surprised! The front door of this venue is a brick building but when you walk inside and through the doors, you’ll be surprised that there’s a whole garden and wedding venue in the back! Wow, it’s a stunner! Eileen & Gabe’s wedding ceremony was surrounded by a lush garden and their wedding reception was full of sparkle! It was awesome to photograph! Here are a few highlights from their wedding day!!
