A Refined and Sophisticated Fall Wedding Day at Whistle Bear Golf Club
Adrienne and Logan’s modern and sophisticated wedding at The Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, Ontario was one of our favourite wedding designs of this season! We met Adrienne last summer as a bridesmaid for one of our incredible ‘23 couples. We couldn’t have been happier; therefore, when she reached out about her own engagement and wedding plans for this year!

With family and friends all over Canada and the U.S., Adrienne and Logan wanted their wedding to feel like a vacation weekend. Their wedding week began with everyone arriving to Toronto and being tourists as A+L toured them around their home city. The festivities continued with a celebratory welcome dinner and finished with their wedding day which felt like a reunion of all the special people in their lives in one room.
The early fall weather couldn’t have been more beautiful with sunny skies and ample natural light for their wedding ceremony in The Whistle Bear Golf Club’s Garden Chapel. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour, Adrienne and Logan headed to the club’s forest for photographs with their wedding party. After finishing up with their couple photos it was time to party!!! We loved how their people came to celebrate!!! It couldn’t have been more fun to see how happy their guests were to celebrate with them. We loved the energy all day long!

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!

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!

Playful Pops of Colour for Couple's Chic Wedding at The Doctor's House
It’s hard to even know where to begin with Eliza and Grant and how much we enjoyed their wedding day at Kleinburg’s, The Doctor’s House. 100% relaxed, chic, true to their style and centred around having an incredible day with their families and friends, it was a dream day to photograph!
It’s hard to even know where to begin with Eliza and Grant and how much we enjoyed their wedding day at Kleinburg’s, The Doctor’s House. 100% relaxed, chic, true to their style and centred around having an incredible day with their families and friends, it was the dream day to photograph! Eliza and Grant first reached out to us in 2022 about their wedding day. They knew they wanted to host a day that showed their guests who had travelled from China, Hong Kong, British Columbia and all over Ontario, how much they were truly loved. Due to the fact that many had travelled from long distances, they decided to host all the events of their wedding day at The Doctor’s House.
We arrived just as Eliza was finishing up with hair and makeup and Grant was busily putting the finishing touches on some of the decor for their reception. Everyone was super chill-having enjoyed a relaxing start to the wedding morning. Grant and Eliza decided that they would like to start the day together with a first look (the cutest first look ever we might add) and go right into a tea ceremony hosted by Grant’s family. We loved that Eliza wore a traditional Korean dress, a Hanbok, to celebrate her family’s culture. After their tea ceremony, it was time to get ready for their wedding ceremony in The Doctor’s House iconic Chapel. Something that really stood out to us what their very heartfelt and personal vows to one another. They spoke to their commitment, love, what led them to their wedding day and their promises for the future. We were so honoured to be present for such meaningful vows!
Their being pronounced as husband and wife was sealed with a high five, kiss and celebratory champagne pour! After having photographs with their families and friends it was time relax and enjoy the evening! Although they both loved a very clean, light aesthetic, they also both loved the idea of incorporating colour into their day. The beautiful flower arrangements and playful touches of colour in their decor really spoke to their happy personalities.
Eliza changed into a cocktail dress that she made (!!!) for their first dance. It was the perfect dress to get the party started ;) After an incredible dinner, hilarious speeches and a beautiful sunset it was time to dance the night away!
We left Eliza and Grant’s wedding feeling so grateful for such a kind couple who made their day so personal. These are the memories we love :)

Unforgettable Summer Wedding at Toronto Golf Club
One of the very memorable events from our summer wedding season was Heather and Ken’s wedding at the stunning Toronto Golf Club, one of our absolute favourite private golf clubs in the GTA!
One of the very memorable events from our summer wedding season was Heather and Ken’s wedding at the stunning Toronto Golf Club. We first spoke to Heather about their wedding photography at the beginning of the year. They had clear in their mind as to what they wanted for their wedding celebrations-an intimate wedding ceremony and dinner with immediate family in early summer and a big wedding bash with all their extended family and friends in August at Toronto Golf Club. We photographed both their intimate wedding in June at the glamorous Oretta restaurant in downtown Toronto and their day at Toronto Golf Club and couldn’t have been more moved by how Heather and Ken made their wedding day(s) plans their own. They didn’t worry about tradition or what their wedding day ‘should be’; instead they focused on their families and celebrating such a huge life step after 12 years together!!
Their wedding reception began with family photos in front of Toronto Golf Club’s stunning Clubhouse and then we whisked them away to take advantage of Toronto Golf Club’s stunning grounds around the Clubhouse. Heather wore a beautiful summer organza wedding gown by the incredible designer, Theia Couture. After mingling with guests during a very happy cocktail hour, which felt like a huge reunion of friends and family and the first wedding putting contest we’ve ever photographed (!!) they were welcomed to dinner in Toronto Golf Club’s beautiful dining room. The food, wine and company made for such a memorable evening!
After the very heartfelt speeches of their parents and close friends, it was time to get the party started!!! It began with Heather and Ken’s first dance and by the end of it, everyone was on the dance floor!!! They danced the night away with their guests under the stars which felt like a movie moment!!! We couldn’t be happier that our sweet couple were finally were able to be reunited with all the friends and family to celebrate their happy wedding together!!!

An Intimate Wedding Ceremony in the Heart of Toronto
Intimate weddings are here to stay!

We are officially full swing into 2022 and so full of appreciation and gratitude for all our couples who resiliently pivoted and re-pivoted during the past two years. There is no doubt that we have all come out of this with lessons learned.
One thing that has really stuck out to Junilo and I is the beautiful and intimate celebrations we have had the honour to be a part of. Due to changing restrictions, couples had to make an endless amount of changes and rethink their plans with sometimes only weeks or days notice! However, the joyous wedding celebrations that came out of the unexpected were absolutely unforgettable! It has been a true testament to the fact that love has not been cancelled!!
With a measure of uncertainty still weighing on many couples’ minds, intimate celebrations have become the new norm. Having fewer guests, does not mean that couples have to sacrifice style or elegance by any means! This early spring fine art wedding photography workshop in Toronto’s stylish Archive Studios is testament to this! A truly elegant and timeless wedding style photographed by yours truly :)) We finished the day feeling incredibly inspired for the 2022 wedding season!!!
