tamara + bram married at camp / a camp timberlane summer camp wedding
it's a magical place, but its wooden cabin frames, gravel paths & towering trees are nothing without the common sounds of laughter & footfall to fill them. this is the story of the weekend when, before camp opened its doors to its usual flood of summer campers, the pathways were filled instead with big kids, many of whom were returning to camp for the first time in years. i'll never forget arriving at camp the night before, meeting people for the first time & seeing the wonderment in their eyes over returning to this place they loved as kids. returning for the wedding of tamara & bram.they met at camp when they were teenagers. he led canoe trips with three other guys, all of whom were there at the wedding. one of the first pictures they have together is sitting on the grass in the sun at camp timberlane. when they first emailed, having seen photos of ours from previous camp weddings, we felt a connection with them & much of our time with them since has been filled with an ease, laughter, and warmth. the weekend was a perfect reflection of that energy they bring.a few hours north of the city, there were campfires every night, a lot of dancing, sleeping in cabins, and a beautiful mixing of excitement with a calm & peacefulness.also, keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife... !watch the stop motion video of the wedding weekend below, and images to follow. b & t, mazel tov. we loved being there. x

emma + remi married on the shores of sparrow lake / a delmonte in the pines wedding
and i urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'if this isn't nice, i don't know what is / kurt vonnegut
remi grew up in the north, emma in toronto but attending a camp every summer on the shores of a lake called sparrow lake... years later, on that very same lake north of the city, her & remi were married.there was bunting in every colour, & pompoms made by hand dotting the trees as they said their vows.the smell of pines & the sounds of the water lapping the rocky shore. the birds flying overhead & an old lodge in the woods that reminds one of years past.in her dad's speech, under the big white tent they'd set up in the field at delmonte in the pines resort in muskoka, he described how leading up to the wedding, they all thought that maybe a wedding at the church down the road from their family home in the city would have been a great deal easier. fire codes & port-a-potty requirements aside, there was no place more fitting than a ceremony out beside the lake. there was no where else it could have been & it was the most perfect day.a stop motion video of the day, & scroll through some images below. so much love for ya, e & r.as for the wedding... i just want a fun day, with a few moments of 'calm' in & amongst the chaos of the day -- & to be with emma. simple as that.
