Lori & Dan's wedding was absolutely amazing. As Tara (my assistant) and I were driving to Bayfield, Ontario, the weather reports were predicting an 80% chance of thunder storms - and the wedding was outdoors! We were worried to say the least.
When Lori arrived at our meeting place, I was pleasantly surprised to find her cool and collected, even with the impending rain clouds overhead and her ceremony only an hour and a half away - with spitting rain threatening to spill into a downpour.
We managed to find a beautiful park location for some shots of her, her daughter, and her sister before the wedding started, and the rain stayed away. As we got into our cars to go to the ceremony though, it finally started to really rain. Where would we have the ceremony? Tara and I were nervous, but not nearly as nervous as I'm sure Lori and Dan were!
Just as the ceremony was about to begin, and everyone was still taking cover in their cars - the rain stopped. The clouds didn't go away, but we figured we'd go for it - and proceded with the ceremony. The guests left their cars and hurried down to the beautiful beach location they had set up, and Dan and his son headed down there to wait for Lori.
Lori had come up with a very clever and sentimental surprise for Dan, and it played out perfectly. Dan plays the bagpipes, and Lori secretly invited his long-time mentor piper, and his friend, to come and play as she walked down the aisle. I'll never forget the look on Dan's face when he heard the bagpipes start up, and saw his bride walking towards him, arm-in-arm with her father, followed by a piper and a drummer in their traditional plaid kilts. It was beautiful.
Just as Lori and Dan were beginning their vows, the clouds parted, and a beautiful ray of light came down on them and their guests - it was a heavenly, romantic moment I will never forget.
We breezed through pictures and had a wonderful time, at some scenic and romantic locations, and just after entering the reception hall, heaven let loose and down came the rains! What a perfect story for them to always remember - the 80% chance of thunderstorms was no match for their wedding vows!!!
Thank you Lori and Dan for allowing me to capture your wonderful day, and it was truly an honour!!
