I met dan and mary at their home in oakville on saturday morning where they were getting ready...together. the dress was hanging... dan had already seen it...

dan even helped mary into her dress and tied it {it's kinda like tying hockey skates} romantic...i think so.

after we had walked the beautiful grounds at the winery, dinner was served in the carriage house... it's always pretty wonderful dining at vineland estates...but tonight was exceptionally beautiful. as i mentioned earlier, vintage design company provided the flowers and i don't think they could've fit one more flower on the table. gorgeous.

Mary, absolutely stunning pictures and a beautiful bride and groom.  If the pictures tell anything, it was an amzing day for you both.  Congratulations and thank you for sharing with everyone.  BEAUTIFUL….

that last photo is a stunner, Nataschia - just unreal…wow.

Congrats Dan and Mary.  All the best to both of you.  Great pictures.

P.S. - Mary you definitely have to be a Cowboys fan now.

Mary & Dan,
Simply stunning on ALL levels - a reinvention to a ‘modern day Cinderella story’.
I am very happy for both of you.
My personal favs? 
The one in the sauna ( oh! so McSteamy!!) and the B&W in the vineyard - both your expressions are profound there.  Can’t wait to see more.
Wish you both nothing but good health, happiness and love.
Always,
Ivana
