More Canadian fun after the wedding

It was a very good year for the wild berries.

After our "Trash the Dress" photo session



Miranda stayed with us for a few extra days after all the wedding festivities were over, so we took her for a road-trip to see some beaches and woods.

Paper

One year ago today, we were married! And while we may be steadfast partners, this also proves that we are truly terrible bloggers, since the blog is now a full year behind.
Since we've posted most of our professional photos on facebook already, here are just a couple, followed by some of the many lovely photos sent to us by family and friends. It was nice to relive the wonderful day while assembling photos for this post!
