a sunny muskoka wedding day at brooklands farm in bracebridge

dave and i were invited to document this beautiful weekend up north in muskoka at the end of august. driving up north and the feeling of the city falling away as the sun sets, waking up to the smell of pine needles on the air is one of the best feelings there is.

it was a bright sunny morning at brooklands farm, everyone helping get everything set up. so many of the details of the day were made by k + e, who are both designers and have such creative talent that they incorporated into every aspect. guests piled off school buses and with cocktails in hand made their way to the shade of a few pine trees for the ceremony, which was lighthearted and full of fun and laughs. following drinks and lawn games in the sun, we all headed into the barn where the night finished off with the two of them dancing under the millions of stars that show up on a clear summer night up north.

"when our daughter started seeing him, we paid attention; we knew this time was different," said the bride's mom that night at dinner. "because when she met him, our daughter started to paint again." there's always a moment from every wedding that sticks with me, and this was it.

with special thanks to jess foster of a vase full for the wonderful florals, and guelph tent rentals for the beautiful rentals.
