The wedding day started at the luxurious Park Hyatt Toronto, where Samara, the bride, got ready in one of their elegant suites. The vibe was relaxed yet full of excitement. Samara’s bridal party added a touch of glamour, with the bridesmaids in chic black PJs and her mom in a lovely pink robe.
One of the cutest moments was when Samara, in her adorable white PJs, revealed her Enzoani wedding dress to her bridesmaids—it was a moment of pure joy and lots of happy tears!
Justin, the groom, was also getting ready at the Park Hyatt, with his dad by his side. The atmosphere in his room was filled with anticipation. Justin kept it classic with simple yet elegant details—black shoes, cufflinks, and a sharp black bowtie.
The first look was a true showstopper, set against the stunning silver architecture of the Royal Ontario Museum. Samara’s mermaid silhouette gown was breathtaking, and her white bouquet of assorted flowers was the perfect complement.
The moment Samara tapped Justin on the shoulder was electric—the love and excitement between them was palpable. After capturing this intimate moment, we had some fun with walking shots around the museum, making the most of the surrounding urban beauty.
Next, we headed to the Park Hyatt Writers Room Bar on the 17th floor, where Samara and Justin shared a quiet moment over a drink, toasting to their future. It was a beautifully candid moment that showed just how in sync they are. We then moved on to the bridal party photos downstairs, where we went for a more editorial style with the group—these shots were all about the fun and energy of the day.
The ceremony decor was nothing short of dreamy. Set in the Park Hyatt, the space was filled with clear seats, white and blush florals, and a stunning floral chuppah that made for an elegant focal point. The ceremony itself was sweet and full of cherished traditions, a beautiful reflection of the couple’s love story.
The reception decor carried the same timeless elegance with a modern twist—blush tones, white accents, and plenty of candles that added a warm glow to the room. The drapery was stunning, creating an intimate and luxurious atmosphere. The two-tier cake was a work of art, with delicate blossoms peeking out from its white frosting, perfectly embodying the day’s aesthetic.
The guests, dressed to the nines in black tie attire, mingled under the gorgeous lighting, surrounded by the elegant floral arrangements by Rikki Marcone Floral & Event Design. Every detail, from the stationery by Paperless Post to the tabletop rentals by Splendid Settings, came together flawlessly.
The entertainment by Magen Boys kept the energy high, with everyone hitting the dance floor and celebrating into the night.
Samara and Justin’s wedding day was a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern fun—a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. It was a true joy to capture every moment of their beautiful celebration.
