Mara & Josh’s Wedding: Sept 9, 2017 – Camp Arowhon Algonquin Park
This was one of my favourite weekends of the wedding season, spent at Camp Arowhon with Mara and Josh as it was their…. WEDDING!!! Mara and Josh make a wonderful couple and this wedding really brought that to the fore. Everyone stayed over in their own log cabin, and made it seem like we were all back at camp again, just like in our teenage years. Canoes were a-paddlin’, climbing ropes a-hanging, you could go anywhere and do anything, unlike actual summer camp :-). The place looked fantastic, all decked out for a celebration to end all celebrations. The morning started with me wandering around camp and photographing whomever and whatever. I made my way to Mara getting dressed and then over to Josh. We had a special reveal on the dock and then crept a way to get some private photos before taking portraits with the family. Finally on to the ceremony… yes, the ceremony. Quite an entrance was made by both parties, one aquatic and the other equine, just your typical entrance, y’know. The party rocked like no other, this band blew the roof off the camp main lodge. The party went into the wee hours, and finally everyone stumbled off to bed. The next morning I was up to see what damage had been done, but everything had been put away and the band allowed to retire. I did come across their instruments lying around and made sure I took some photos thereof. Just before I said goodbye, Mara decided to take a swim on a beautiful Sunday morning, albeit she was it in her wedding dress! Say no more. Guys, thanks for having me and my family for the weekend, we had a great time. Enjoy.
