Erin + Matt - Salt Spring Island elopement

A small Salt Spring Island elopement, close to the land and to each other. Erin and Matt married in Ruckle Park, with the sea and the old growth standing witness, then wandered over to Ruckle Farm, where the fields and weathered barns gave us a few quiet frames as a backdrop. Folklore photographer [Kelly](/team/kelly) followed the light through the afternoon, from vows to the picnic that WoodShed Provisions packed for them, a basket well earned after a long walk and a good look at the water. Our thanks to Ruckle Farm for the welcome, and to WoodShed for the spread.
