A wedding to remember

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Photography

Weddings are happy things, aren’t they? A longtime friend of ours got married on Saturday, in a shady park in Oxford Mills near Kemptville.

I took a few pics to commemorate the day. How could I not?

… and then I handed the camera over to the kids, who gave our day a whole new perspective. This is only a small selection of what they shot:

I just love these! They totally crack me up. I need to remember to hand over the camera more often.

That shot of you with the sun flare is amazing and I also like the one perspective looking up from the swings! Well done.

It was a beautiful day. Such a happy couple. And fun that the band, Fire and Neon, performed at the end of the evening. (They had played Bluesfest at 3 pm earlier that day).

Thanks for the photos :)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
