An Intimate Affair -- Ashley+Tom

On Friday July 1st, I travelled up to Parry Sound for the wedding of Ashley & Tom Evans. I've never been to Parry Sound except to drive through it on a camping trip, but I wasn't let down at all! I left with plenty of time to spare, because you never know how the cottage traffic will be the first day of the long weekend, but  got there plenty early!

My first stop was the beautiful church Ashley and Tom were getting married at. It was right on the strip and easy enough to get to, so I went to Tim Horton's to have a coffee while I waited for the wedding to begin.

At 2pm, I met Kyle, a groomsman with a sense of humour :)  Kyle helped me get into the church and then slowly but surely, the guests started to arrive. Since it was a small wedding, it was easy to get to know the guests and I had a great time not only working, but talking to Ashley and Tom's families.

After the ceremony, it was off to the beach in the fire truck!  Tom's a fireman, so it was only fitting to have the pumper drive them around!  We got some fantastic shots down on the beach, and some cute ones at the firehall... but the dances were what had me literally in tears. I got teary for the first dance, I was a sobbing mess for the parent/child dances and when the bride and groom danced with their kids... I was done. Thankfully, the mother of the bride told me it was ok to be teary, and I wasn't alone!

When the night was over, and dinner was devoured - I quietly slipped out while the guests watched a beautiful slideshow by the mother of the groom. I won't soon forget how wonderful this small, but intimate wedding was. Thank you so much to Tom and Ashley, and their families, for trusting me with their beautiful moments!
