Modern Elegance-Couple's Summer Wedding at Hotel X Toronto

Joyful, modern, elegant and so full of emotion. These are just few of the many words that would describe Morgan and Alex’s summer wedding at Hotel X Toronto. We couldn’t have been more honoured to photograph such a meaningful day for not only these two best friends, but for their families. Friendship that spans many years, this wedding day was a celebration of family friends officially becoming family!

We originally spoke to Morgan about their wedding plans at the beginning of 2023. We loved her vision for their wedding day - an elegant celebration focused on their families, friends and each other. She knew the day would be a quick blur so she wanted to maximize the time with her loved ones. One way she knew that would occur is by having all the events in close proximity and Hotel X Toronto was the ideal location and look to fit her vision. From getting ready to having very emotional first looks with her bridesmaids, dad, her grandparents and finally her groom-to-be, Alex, Morgan was so conscious of making memories with those she loved all day long.

Their wedding ceremony took place on Hotel X’s High Park Terrace which has clear sight lines of our beautiful Lake Ontario. Her choice of floral installations with white flowers and lots of greenery perfectly offset the blue background of the lake.

We loved her vision of taking advantage of all the aspects of getting married in a hotel, from having photos in Hotel X’s Valerie bar to the ever popular elevator shots! We finished the day feeling so appreciative for such an incredible couple who love wholeheartedly! Morgan and Alex’s wedding day will be one we will remember for a long time to come!

An Effortlessly Chic Summer Wedding at The Toronto Hunt

Authentic, emotive and meaningful. Ashleigh and Cliff’s wedding day at the stunning Toronto Hunt was so intentional and full of memories. Right down to the smallest details, these two thought of each other, their families and how to make their wedding authentically their own.

We had the chance to meet Ashleigh and Cliff at their friend’s wedding in 2021. Belonging to the funnest group of friends, we knew from our first meeting to discuss their wedding plans that their day would be full of laughs and special moments! However, what we didn’t know was the beautiful connection they shared with their parents and their siblings and how they wanted to include all their loved ones into their planning and special day. Being from close families ourselves, Junilo and I really appreciated witnessing the family bond they share and their desire to make their day not just about themselves, but also about their loved ones.

One of our favourite aspects of the day was their very personal private ceremony with just their parents present before the exchanging of their vows and rings in front of their guests. 100% emotional and real-they absorbed what the day was before celebrating it with their guests. There were more than a few tears in Toronto Hunt’s private room!!

Sharing a love for the outdoors and the summer’s greenery, they chose to celebrate their wedding at the beautiful Toronto Hunt. Despite the morning’s severe thunderstorms forecast, the sun shone brightly just as the wedding day began! Toronto Hunt Club’s stunning course and lawn overlooking Lake Ontario couldn’t have been more pristine!

We wish these two nothing but happiness in all the beautiful life steps they will take together!!!
