KASSANDRA & MATT'S SUMMER CAMP WEDDING WEEKEND | a wedding at camp tamakwa muskoka
"... it doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals, or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine and your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me who you are, or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back ..."
It's pretty hard to sum up this day, in words or in images, because Kass & Matt's day wasn't just a day, it was a weekend away in the wilderness of Algonquin Park, at a camp only accessible by boat. It wasn't just two people, it was a whole group of people, living in cabins and roasting marshmallows on the fire every night.... and it was beautiful and amazing because of what Kassandra told us the morning of her wedding day, heading to the dining hall for breakfast. She told us that being up there at Camp Tamakwa, that this was her idea of paradise.....[audio:https://jennanddavestark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/04-Sun1.mp3,https://jennanddavestark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/04-Sun1.mp3|titles=Sun,Sun|artists=Jonsi,Jonsi]
We had the best time, the absolute best! I can't even put it into words accurately. We can't thank Matt & Kass enough for their 100% trust of our eyes and hearts to document their weekend as it happened, and we would do it again in a heartbeat, really we would. xo, jennCamp Tamakwa in Algonquin Park, Canada | if it looks familiar, you might have seen this movie! | September 2012
THIS IS KASSANDRA & MATT BY THE WATER
We met them at their family cottage just outside of the city. If anybody ever fit the description of adventurers, sorry to everyone else but these guys win hands down, no competition. I don’t know that I’ve met two more adventurous souls than Kassandra and Matt. They only remotely knew each other when first they took the same flight to Australia for six months and in the years since then have made a huge dent into traveling the globe as an official pair (my dream!). I can’t tell you how much we are looking forward to their wedding this weekend, up north at a summer camp that can only be reached by boat.... (!!) Looking forward does not even begin to describe. A few images of the adventurers, two people we feel very lucky to now know. xo, jenn
