Russel's speech during dinner was definitely a winner. And to set their stage was of course one of my favorite venues I've been to, while attending  as a guest and a photographer, is the Farmstead in Pembroke, Ontario. A gorgeous spot with open fields, willow trees and the most accommodating owners. Take a look below to see just what I mean when I say, this venue, this bride and groom, were nothing short of stunning.  

When I opened up my email to see that Amanda had sent me a wedding inquiry, my eyes beamed with excitement. Amanda and I are old high school friends, so of course I told her immediately that her wedding date was available. From there we got to plan out the details of her wedding over Starbucks lattes and got to catch up on life. Not a bad way to plan an 8 hour wedding timeline in my opinion. Speaking of, their wedding was full of fun, family centered moments, and speeches full of laughter and tears.
