And then it was time to make it official.⁠
⁠
Elyse and Andrew were married at Our Lady of Grace Shrine at Marylake in King City, and it was such a beautiful setting for the ceremony.⁠
⁠
The long aisle. The stained glass. Elyse walking in with her dad. Andrew waiting at the front. A few laughs, a few emotional moments, the rings, the kiss… all the good stuff.⁠
⁠
The big moments are great, but we’re always watching for the little looks in between too. Those usually end up being some of our favourite photos.⁠
⁠
Which ceremony moment gets you every time — the walk down the aisle, the vows, or the first kiss?⁠

Part 2 of 5: The Buying of the Bride⁠
⁠
Before the ceremony, family, music and tradition filled the air.⁠
⁠
Victoria and Stjepan honoured the Croatian buying-of-the-bride tradition—a lively celebration filled with tamburaši, cheering, laughter and anticipation, all leading to one unforgettable first look. We loved being able to capture Stjepan’s reaction when he finally saw Victoria for the first time. His expression says everything.⁠
⁠
Photographing weddings gives us the special opportunity to experience so many different cultures and traditions. We love seeing how each couple brings their heritage into the day and trusting us to preserve the moments that make their story uniquely theirs.⁠

Part 2 of 3: A castle, a summer garden and a chance to step away from the wedding-day whirlwind for a little while.⁠
⁠
Colleen and Jeremy’s photoshoot through the gardens of Casa Loma gave them something especially valuable on such a busy day: a few quiet moments to slow down, reconnect and simply be together.⁠
⁠
Of course, Casa Loma has no shortage of epic backdrops—but after photographing weddings here over the years, Ikonica also knows the magical little secret spots tucked away from it all. As we wandered through the quieter garden paths and hidden corners, the schedule faded into the background, giving Colleen and Jeremy a chance to take everything in and enjoy the feeling of finally being married.⁠
⁠
The grand views are incredible, but sometimes it’s the quiet, tucked-away moments that mean the most.⁠
⁠

Sometimes Plan B turns out to be pretty great. ☔️🥂⁠
⁠
Meredith + Philip had planned the loveliest summer dinner outside at Toronto Golf Club—one long table on the lawn, surrounded by greenery and string lights, with everyone settling in for an evening together.⁠
⁠
And then… the skies opened. 😂⁠
⁠
Not exactly what anyone had ordered.⁠
⁠
So the dinner moved inside, everyone squeezed in around the tables, the candles were lit, the wine started pouring—and somewhere along the way the change of plans stopped mattering. There were hugs across the table, glasses raised everywhere, speeches that had people laughing one minute and tearing up the next, and Meredith + Philip right in the middle of all of it looking completely happy.⁠
⁠
And then, almost as if the weather decided it owed them one, the rain finally stopped.⁠
⁠
We slipped outside onto the golf course just as the sun was dropping and got one of those gorgeous little windows of evening light you simply can’t schedule. 🌅⁠
⁠
Rain, sunshine, a last-minute reception shuffle and a room absolutely full of love. Pretty good wedding day, if you ask us. ❤️⁠
⁠
Would rain on your wedding day send you into panic mode—or would you just pour another glass of wine and roll with it? 🍷👇⁠

What do you love more — the little wedding details or the candid getting-ready moments?⁠
⁠
Elyse + Andrew’s wedding day started in two different places.⁠
⁠
Elyse was getting ready at her family home in Vaughan with her bridesmaids and family, while Andrew was over in King City with the guys.⁠
⁠
So while one side of the team was photographing the dress, shoes, flowers and all those little details, the other side was catching cufflinks, drinks, and laughs.⁠
⁠
Getting ready photos are always some of our favourites because they’re a mix of calm, heightened emotion and anticipation all at once.⁠
⁠
And then there was Elyse’s dad seeing her for the first time… 🥹⁠

From the invites and dress that Victoria picked out to sharing bubbly with her mom and sister, the morning was buzzing with excitement for what lay ahead. The chic black-and-white vibe, bright rooms, and genuine family moments gave this day a classic touch.⁠

Before the ceremony, the celebration and the dancing, there is this: the beautiful anticipation of becoming a bride.⁠
⁠
Colleen’s wedding morning was filled with meaningful details, quiet emotion, champagne and the unmistakable joy of her closest friends seeing her in her gown for the first time.⁠

We could spend hours capturing the ease and elegance of Meredith and Philip. Their wedding style—from the clean lines of her gown to his classic black tie tux—was the definition of timeless.⁠
⁠
Exploring the stunning property at the Toronto Golf Club was the perfect post-ceremony escape for these two. Just them, the champagne, and the promise of love and laughter.⁠

Meredith + Philip: The moment Meredith walked through the doors of Saint George Romanian Orthodox Church, hand in arm with her father, time seemed to slow.⁠
Philip’s expression said everything — love, excitement, and awe as he saw his bride for the first time.⁠
⁠
Surrounded by family, intricate iconography, and golden light, their ceremony was filled with joy and reverence.⁠
From the laughter shared before the aisle to the triumphant walk back down it — these are the moments that tell a love story, captured with love.⁠

Meredith + Philip: Every wedding morning has that anticipation—the final details come together and the nerves turn into excitement. Meredith`s first look with her father was everything. The look on his face, the smile on hers... these are the simple, authentic moments that make the day unforgettable.⁠
⁠
Next up...the ceremony.⁠

A quiet kind of grandeur—Roksoliana and Andriy exchanged vows at the breathtaking St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church in Toronto, surrounded only by their closest family and friends. Intimate, heartfelt, and deeply beautiful.

Nothing says `we ❤️ Toronto` more than a cheeky TTC streetcar ride to beloved sunny Trinity Bellwoods Park. Roksoliana and Andriy take a quick spin at the gates before heading to their intimate ceremony.
