sarah + adam :: ontario wedding

September 22, 2014

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin’s wedding in Canada. She was a tall dark-haired Texan who crossed paths with a witty curly-haired Canadian and they will live happily ever after. Their day began overcast with a chilly breeze whispering through the emerald trees lining Stoney Lake, Ontario. As Sarah and her bridesmaids perfected their hair, Adam and his well-coiffed groomsmen aligned their suits readying for the day’s event.

Several small boats were moored in a harbor awaiting the guests. A 20-minute excursion across the lake to a church perched atop a rock island was enjoyed by all who attended. As the time came, so did the rain. As if the heavens washed away all the couple’s troubles and woes to prepare them for a new start together. The guests walked from the docks along the rocky shore adorn in yellow slickers or holding umbrellas bustling into the church.

Once the ceremony started the cold and rain didn’t matter, the love in the small 100-hundred-year-old wooden church was enough to warm all who were present.

A short boat ride back to the mainland and it was off to an extravagantly planned reception. Nestled next to the lakeside, Adam’s parents provided an
incredible venue for the celebration of two becoming one. There were speeches, jokes, tears, dancing, and love under the tent.

Congratulations and keep in mind: rain on a wedding day brings good luck and the blessing of many children!
