A Sainte-Famille Wines Ltd Wedding

Another one from the archives, and one I’ve been meaning to share for some time now. A lovely day spent in the Windsor and Falmouth area of Nova Scotia, following country roads along the Avon River to Sainte-Famille Wines. This would mark my first visit to the property and I hope it won’t be my last - work your way through the vineyard to the top of the property and you’re rewarded with a view of the Avon River itself and the patchwork of fields that hug it’s banks. It’s a fantastic wedding venue for an outdoor ceremony and a pavilion reception.

Many thanks to the owners of The Clockmaker’s Inn in Windsor, Nova Scotia. A last minute change in the weather meant that we were in desperate need of some sheltered spots for formal photos. They were more than happy to accommodate the group and the covered porch was a lifesaver.

The summer of 2016 was a summer of drought. A summer of heat. Yellowed grass, parched lakes and rivers reduced to streams.

That began to change in late September / early October. There is a type of rain that is undoubtedly a herald of fall. It feels different. Smells different. Leaves start to change and there is a bite to the air. The number of pies in local markets increases exponentially (this is an important fact that can't be left out). I'd become accustomed to forecasts that focused solely on temperature records - not forecasts that included a chance of precipitation. [continued ...
