DeCew House Heritage Park is a City of Thorold heritage park — the War of 1812 site of the historic DeCew (DeCou) House, with a stone foundation wall and wooded clearings. SIGS photographed Maranda and Curtis here in autumn — an embrace in golden light against the stone wall, and an outdoor ceremony under a rustic wooden arch with guests in rows of white chairs.
