Shari & Camilla’s Wedding: September 29, 2018
Photographed mostly by Ben & Gwen
This wedding was one my family had been waiting for, our good friends Shari and Camilla were getting married. As I was a guest, I was only able to photograph the parts of the day I was not involved in like dressing the brides and portraits, but I did pick up the camera during the party when I could. What a fabulous day, Ben and I photographed Camilla and Shari getting dressed before meeting up for a special reveal at the Scenic Sounds cottage overlooking the Beaver Valley. We could not have asked for better weather, the sun was shining, nary a cloud in the sky, and off to the Beaver Valley Ski Club we did go. The flow of the day was skillfully facilitated by Brittney Furtado and her team at Inspire Event Rental who did an outstanding job at creating a gorgeous zen space with a beautiful array of flowers. The formalities were a blend of wedding traditions drawn from Buddhist and Jewish faiths, led by Buddhist Chaplains Andrew and Angie Blake of Sarana Institute. The ceremony was accompanied by deep and beautiful music by Gary Diggins and Jeff Bird and the transcendent voices of Edmund and Fraea Graziani singing a stunning rendition of Erev Shel Shel Shoshanim, all resulting in a magical ceremony. Once that was done, the party took hold; wonderful speeches, a unique first dance with Camilla and Shari looking awesome doing their swing, a fun and enlivening drum circle by Ora Goldin and general revelry for all. The extraordinary Denise Benson held down the DJ duties, and we partied into the night. Wishing you guys all the love and kindness in the world, we were so happy to take part in this special celebration.
