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

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
