A day of Arcs : Tiffany & Liam's elegant wedding at the Palais Royale

If you’re dreaming of an elegant, charming Toronto wedding with stunning city backdrops and unforgettable moments, you’ll love Tiffany and Liam’s wedding day! I had the pleasure of capturing their celebration from a romantic first look to a breathtaking sunset shoot along Toronto’s waterfront. This wedding was one of those that reminds me of why I love being a wedding photographer. Tiffany and Liam’s connection was palpable, their joy infectious, and their venues—each a Toronto landmark—made every shot even more magical.

First Look at the Iconic Princes' Gates

Tiffany and Liam’s day began with an emotional first look at the Princes' Gates. Known for its grand architecture and sweeping views, it provided a beautiful backdrop for these first precious moments together. With just the right mix of excitement and a touch of nerves, they saw each other for the first time, and the love they shared was so evident. I always love capturing these moments—the anticipation, the reactions, and the sweet, private moments the couple shares before the whirlwind of the day truly begins.

Bridal Party Portraits and Classic City Vibes

After their first look, we explored the area with the bridal party for some incredible portraits. From the impressive arches of the Princes' Gates to the road outside Palais Royale, every location provided the perfect blend of classic and urban vibes. The bridal party was fun, energetic, and totally embraced the joy of the day, which made for some fantastic candid moments alongside the elegant shots.

An Intimate Ceremony at Palais Royale

The ceremony took place at the Palais Royale, an elegant venue that overlooks Lake Ontario. The setting was intimate and refined, creating a perfect atmosphere for Tiffany and Liam to exchange vows. They looked so in love as they promised forever in front of family and friends. It’s these genuine, heartfelt moments that make every wedding feel unique and timeless, and the Palais Royale’s charm only added to the beauty of their vows.

Golden Hour by the Water

As the day turned to evening, we moved to the path by the water for a sunset shoot. The golden hour light cast a warm, ethereal glow over the newlyweds, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere. Capturing these moments of just the two of them by the water, with the city skyline in the background, was an incredible way to end their day. Tiffany and Liam’s chemistry was undeniable, and as they laughed, danced, and soaked in the moment, it was clear they were savoring every second of their celebration.

Between the lines : Saba & Adam's engagement session in the Toronto Reference Library

As a Hamilton wedding photographer, I’m thrilled when I get the chance to capture love stories in iconic Toronto settings. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Adam and Saba’s engagement session at the renowned Toronto Reference Library, followed by some cozy outdoor shots at a nearby coffee shop under the beautiful fall foliage.

Unique Charm of the Toronto Reference Library for Engagement Photos

The Toronto Reference Library is an absolute gem for engagement photography. With its grand, multi-story architecture and serene atmosphere, it’s the perfect backdrop for couples who appreciate both city life and a peaceful escape. Adam and Saba, two avid readers, were especially drawn to this setting, and we made full use of the library's distinct areas. We took portraits surrounded by countless shelves of books and even had the chance to capture some moments in the special collections section, which lent an extra sense of intimacy and charm.

Capturing Candid Moments Among the Bookshelves

Engagement sessions are all about capturing authentic moments, and photographing Adam and Saba in such a calm, intimate setting helped bring their connection to life. As they browsed through the shelves and shared laughs, I was able to photograph them enjoying the moment naturally. There’s something magical about capturing love stories amidst books — a true testament to their shared passion for knowledge and adventure.

Outdoor Fall Engagement Photos with Coffee in Toronto

After our indoor session, we stepped outside to enjoy the stunning autumn colors. Nothing says fall like a cozy coffee break, so we popped into a nearby coffee shop. The warm tones of the fall leaves and the fresh coffee created the ideal relaxed vibe for Adam and Saba’s outdoor shots. They were able to share a few laughs over coffee, which added a nice, candid touch to their session.
