Getting Ready at The Ritz-Carlton
Neishaw and her girls started the morning in style at the Ritz-Carlton, Toronto. The vibe was joyful, confident, and filled with excitement. With glam done by Omega Mighty (Dollface Dredie) for makeup and Svitlana Skiba of Hair Master Toronto on hair, Neishaw looked unreal. Her bridal details? Absolutely next level — especially those iconic red-bottom Louboutins.
Meanwhile, Jon got ready in the suite across the hall, suit pressed, shoes shining, and nerves setting in. It was the kind of calm that comes before a very beautiful storm.
First Look on the Bridge
The hotel has this glass bridge on the second floor that literally looked like a movie set — and that’s where we set up their first look. Jon stood waiting, and the moment he turned to see Neishaw? All smiles and emotion. Champagne was popped right after, surrounded by their wedding party, making this one of those magical wedding mornings that felt like it lasted forever (in the best way).
Wedding Party + Portraits at Alexander Muir Gardens
After the first look, the whole crew loaded into a stunning vintage car and headed to Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens. This group brought energy, colour, and laughs — especially the wedding party in those electric blue dresses and classic tuxes. We had such a blast shooting their portraits among the flowers and greenery. It was one of those spring afternoons where everything felt right.
We also grabbed some quieter moments between the two of them — where the chaos faded and it was just love (and a little breeze in her veil).
A Reception Reveal Like No Other – Eglinton Grand
If you’ve ever wondered what full glam looks like — this is it. The Eglinton Grand was transformed into a candlelit dream thanks to Wild Theory Floral, Detailz Couture, Chair Decor, and the stunning stationary setup by Megan Nicole Lettering. Everything sparkled. Everything was luxe.
And the entrance? Unreal. The couple was hidden behind the famous red curtains. As guests took their seats, the lights dimmed, the music rose, and the curtains opened to reveal their first dance on the centre of the stage — just the two of them. Absolutely unforgettable.
From there, the night flowed into heartfelt speeches from family, the hilarious shoe game, and even a champagne toast. Symmetry Studios brought the energy with a live band during dinner and then turned up the volume with a DJ to close the night.
The late-night bites (including a fish taco bar and sundae station) kept everyone dancing into the early hours — and every moment was perfectly planned by Glenda Passalacqua of Historia Weddings & Events, who made sure every single detail ran seamlessly.
