Emily’s bridal morning was the perfect introduction to the glamour that would unfold throughout the day. The moment we walked into her suite, we were greeted by a breathtaking floral-wrapped staircase, a full installation of soft pinks, cream blooms and delicate greenery. It instantly transformed her morning into a Vogue-worthy scene, giving us endless opportunities for editorial bridal portraits.
Her beauty look was incredibly natural with soft, luminous skin, barely-there blush, and an effortless glow. Paired with lace details, classic pearls and an ambiance filled with quiet. Emily’s morning truly set the tone for a sophisticated Toronto wedding day.
Meanwhile, Ottavio’s groom prep brought an entirely different kind of energy, full of friends, laughter, and the easy confidence that comes from being surrounded by your closest crew. His style mirrored Emily’s impeccably. Think polished tailoring, sharp details and the grand entrance of a Rolls Royce waiting outside to take him to the ceremony. Their aesthetics aligned so seamlessly that it genuinely felt like they were made for each other.
As Toronto wedding photographers, we live for portrait sessions like this one. The Rolls Royce alone offered endless angles for dramatic, editorial images, and the light that day was chef’s kiss, warm, soft, and cinematic in all the right ways.
To balance out the backdrop of the car portraits, we headed to Glendon Campus for the the most romantic garden backdrop. The greenery, soft light and quiet atmosphere created a contrast to the modern glamour of the Rolls Royce. It was the perfect pairing for a couple whose style blended luxury with heartfelt romance.
One of our favourite moments of any Toronto wedding at Chateau Le Parc is the room reveal, and Emily & Ottavio’s reaction did not disappoint. Walking into their reception space for the first time, they were greeted with an atmosphere that felt warm, inviting and impossibly elegant.
Hanging chandeliers cast a soft glow over the tables, where delicate florals, polished tableware and creamy neutrals created an elevated colour palette. Watching their faces take in every detail. The months of planning, the design choices, the vision finally coming to life, this is one of the moments we love most to capture.
If there’s one thing Chateau Le Parc weddings are known for, it’s unforgettable receptions. Add a string quartet, an incredible dinner service and a room full of guests who were genuinely excited to celebrate, and you have the perfect formula for a night worth remembering.
The energy in the room was electric. Laughter came easy, emotions ran high and every toast, every dance, every embrace felt authentic and full of joy. As photographers, capturing that kind of genuine emotion is a gift and this wedding was rich with it.
Emily & Ottavio’s Chateau Le Parc wedding was not only a showcase of opulent Toronto wedding style, but also a story grounded in connection, elegance and heartfelt celebration. From the early morning moments to the final songs of the night, every chapter of their day reflected who they are as a couple, refined, thoughtful and effortlessly stylish.
For couples planning a Toronto wedding and looking for elevated, editorial wedding photography, Château Le Parc continues to be one of the most iconic venues in the city. And days like Emily & Ottavio’s remind us why we love what we do.
