Stonefields: Emily and Samir

Emily and Samir - July 30, 2011

July 30, 2011: "East meets West" - Emily and Samir's wedding brought together two cultural traditions and two different families from around the world -some flying in from India and the UK and others from the US and across Canada. The day was so colourful and magical - starting with the wedding party preparations in the farmhouse with all the girls to the breathtaking ceremony between the barns. Both the bride and groom were dressed in traditional Canadian wedding attire while the wedding party was dressed in traditional Indian wedding attire. It was such a beautiful site to be seen! After cocktails by the pool, the guests were invited to the Courtyard for the reception under the tent. It was such an honour getting to know this incredible and lovely couple as well as their family and friends. The day was made especially remarkable thanks to Sarah Robertson (http://www.priorengagements.ca/) from Prior Engagements who not only supplied all of the rentals but also planned and coordinated Emily and Samir's wedding. The amazing photos were provided by Oya from Anzans Photography (http://www.anzans.com/).
