It was a calm day, expecting rain but that wouldn’t stop the ceremony for a moment. The ceremony was held on Pathfinder Island in Algonquin Park, a place with an abundance of natural beauty and history.

Algonquin Park has been a popular destination for camping, canoeing, and spending time under the stars since the early 19th century, and it was the perfect location for Matti and Stephani’s special day. The couple loves spending time in nature, and this was the perfect place for them to exchange their vows and celebrate.

The backdrop of the day was breathtaking, and the views of the lake were a photographer’s dream come true. After the ceremony, we explored the island and captured some amazing group, family, and couple portraits by the dock. It was such a special day, filled with love and laughter, and I was lucky enough to capture it all.

late into the evening, as the reception was well under way, the sky finally let go. It was a downpour like I remember the rains being in childhood, things washing away quickly. The rain kept me there later as my only way home was by platform boat without a roof, but it was a pleasure to watch the rain and listen to laughter while getting some snacks from the kitchen.

The camp on Pathfinder Island is a dream location and one I would have loved as a child going to camp. The canoes everywhere on shore, the cabin platforms that have only a cavas tent on top, and the baseball diamond and all the trails to explore around the island made it a perfect location.

It was an honor to document such an important day for Matti and Stephani. I am so thankful to have been a part of their wedding day on Pathfinder Island in Algonquin Park.
