Several weeks ago I got to visit some of my old stomping grounds when I made my way over to Aylen Lake, just east of Algonquin Park for Dana and Mike’s wedding. Dana and Mike got ready at Dana’s folks cottage on Aylen Lake and as it had rained off and on during much of the day they opted to have the ceremony under an open air chapel in the pines, overlooking the lake instead of on the dock in front of the cottage as they had originally planned. It was a perfect setting for this couple who are currently living in Edmonton, Alberta. After the ceremony we made our away back to the cottage and had a great time getting a wide range of family, wedding party and then couple alone images of this happy couple. We made good use of the family canoe and the overcast skies made for a dramatic setting. We then headed off to Algonquin park where the reception was taking place at historic Bartlet Lodge. On the way Dana, Mike and I stopped off at spruce bog board walk and did a series of romantic couple alone, images. A few of the images from Dana and Mike’s special day are below. Heading back to Parry Sound just after dusk I got to spend about 20 minutes photographing a mother moose and her young calf.

Andy and Rhonda – Algonquin Park Wedding
Algonquin Park has a special place in Andy and Rhonda’s hearts. Although they now live near Thunder Bay, Ontario, they first met when they both worked in Algonquin Park a few years back. So when it came to selecting their wedding site they felt there was no better choice then on the shores of Lake of Two Rivers, in the heart of Algonquin. The Park is a great venue and I love shooting there . The wedding had a distinctly outdoors, canoeing theme that was an great fit with this couples interests and life style. After the ceremony we got some great shots of the newly married couple in and around the water and then we visited the Spruce Bog Boardwalk, another part of the Park that has a special meaning for the couple. A selection of images from Andy and Rhonda’s special day posted below.
