I cannot believe it’s taken me this long to get this special, enchanted-feeling wedding up here!
Sarah and Peter contacted me a few months before their wedding and I immediately fell in love with their laid-back attitudes and intimate ideas for their big day. Their ceremony and reception all took place at The Opinicon Resort, tucked away deep into the back country.
They kept things unique by not having a wedding party, I suggested they get ready together (and they agreed!) and they walked each other both up the aisle and down. They kept their audience small in numbers and they partied the night away with a karaoke band. If I could recommend one thing, it would be these guys! The day was truly all about them and I am so honoured that I could be even a small part of it.
“Motherhood has been both the most taxing and rewarding experience for me to date.
I gave up my lifestyle, my body and my precious sleep but in return I got a love I didn’t know I was capable of having.”

“Being a mom has been the most challenging, humbling and beautiful thing I have ever done. I know I will miss the sleepless nights where it’s just the two of us quietly rocking as I hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the fifteenth time, so I cherish those quiet moments and rock her a few extra minutes. Sometimes a few tears sneak out as my heart overflows with a love I have never known before. The days of a perfect clean house with no chores left to do no longer exists, but I’ve traded that in for days filled with giggles and Reese’s famous wide open mouthed smiles when we’ve discovered something new and exciting, or hours of rocking,comforting and gentle love when it’s time for a nap or she’s having a bad day. She has taught me to slow down with the hustle and bustle and no matter how chaotic life feels at that moment to just stop enjoy the smallest things, like my favourite memories of laying outside in the summer watching the leaves gently sway, or laying in the silence of an afternoon nap watching her little chest rise and fall, feeling her warm breath on my face and savouring her sweet baby smell.”

“Motherhood is about offering comfort, and being that constant thing in my boys’ lives.I would consider myself playful and not afraid to get down on the ground while pretending to be Charlie’s train caboose! My youngest has cystic fibrosis, which has tested me and made me more aware of my mothering style this round.. Amidst all of his daily therapies (chest physio) and treatments (drugs galore!), I try to stay calm, light-hearted, and present. I also see my role as mama bear to foster a close relationship between the boys. They share a language that only they understand. I often feel like they need each other as much as they need me. “

“Motherhood has been both the most taxing and rewarding experience for me to date. I gave up my lifestyle, my body and my precious sleep but in return I got a love I didn’t know I was capable of having. When I get a little smile, a laugh, a loving look or best of all, some cuddles in return, I’d give up every little thing I have all over again if I could.”
