sarah & pat, married at summer camp.
☾
the leaves were just starting to turn that day when we came up the driveway to camp smitty, in the ottawa valley near eganville. during the ceremony outside under the trees, little orange leaves drifted down as sarah & pat laughed, cried, and were married. a low flying float plane roared overhead just as the ceremony got underway, and i instantly thought of the part in moonrise kingdom where the mail plane interrupts bob babalan’s introduction to new penzance. their dog cedar rolled in the grass and chased chipmunks as they got ready outside next to the lake, they ordered pizza and then guests headed to the spot under the trees to sit on cozy blankets as pat and sarah were married by sarah’s best friend’s father. there were lots of happy tears, drinks and a dip in the lake, and then a bell to ring when dinner was served. the night was capped off by hilarious speeches and a dance party to remember. sarah & pat were such a pleasure to be around, giving off such infectious and inclusive energy, never taking themselves too seriously, it was a beautiful day and we couldn’t have been happier to be there to capture the magic.see the whole wedding day below!
alex & tim, married among the trees at the terra cotta conservation area
what this day felt like :
sunshine warming your skin, dappled light falling on dirt paths, and listening to the wind rustling leaves at terra cotta conservation area.
intention and gratitude.
the bustle of about a hundred guests with tupperwares in hand bringing food of all kinds to share in one big massive potluck outside on picnic benches as the sun got low in the sky.
wildflowers of all colours.
the whack of the stick hitting the pinata and the joyful shouting of kids.
that feeling when you lock eyes with a friend and you both smile.
tim and alex are two people who are filled with a lot of intention, and there was a certain peacefulness spending the day with them, which says a lot in the midst of a wedding day. we thoroughly enjoyed this day, and of course the perfect surroundings in the middle of terra cotta conservation area, surrounded by trees.
