The Magic of a Winter Wedding
There’s something uniquely romantic about a winter wedding. Maybe it’s the sparkling snow, the cozy elegance, or the warm candlelight glowing against the cold air outside. Stacey and Vince’s big day at The Arlington Estate brought all of that to life—and more. With snow-dusted grounds, personalized details, and one legendary dance floor, this wedding was pure winter magic.
Getting Ready: Style, Elegance, and Personality
Stacey chose an absolutely breathtaking Airbnb to get ready in. Full of light, chandeliers, and elegant decor, it created the perfect backdrop for photos that felt editorial yet full of emotion. Her nieces added joyful chaos, and the glam team from Fancy Face worked their magic while the ladies sipped mimosas and shared laughs.
Meanwhile, Vince and the guys chilled at the Element Vaughan Southwest hotel, cracking jokes, sharing beers, and getting comfortable with the cameras. The energy was all fun and no pressure—until it was time to suit up. Vince and his crew wore sharp, personalized suits from Empire Customs, each with a unique lining and custom engraving that showed off their personalities.
Back at the Airbnb, Stacey slipped into her stunning lace gown by Rita Vinieris. Her Rivini dress fit her like a dream, and the bouquet from Flourish Design Studios added the perfect wintery touch. Their first look on the staircase? Vince's face said it all.
Couple Portraits at The Arlington Estate
The Arlington Estate, with its heritage charm and luxurious design, looked even more magical with a fresh coat of snow. On the East Private Terrace, we captured cozy, stylish portraits of Stacey and Vince. Both wore winter boots to stay warm, and the playful detail made their portraits not only practical but totally them. Ceremony at The Arlington Estate
Stacey and Vince had their ceremony at the charming Hentage House Chapel, where a giant dreamy wedding wreath designed by Flourish Design Studios served as the backdrop for the romantic ceremony led by officiant Dennis from Labuick Ceremonies. We absolutely love that the Hentage House Chapel features a mezzanine that allowed us to get a different perspective of the ceremony. How fun!
Ceremony at the Heritage House Chapel
The ceremony took place in the Hentage House Chapel—a charming, intimate space with a unique mezzanine that allowed us to photograph from above. Officiant Dennis from Labuick Ceremonies led a heartfelt ceremony in front of a dreamy floral wreath by Flourish Design Studios. With soft lighting and genuine emotion, it felt like something out of a winter romance film.
Party Time: From Elegant to Epic
DJ Alex from BB Blanc got the party going—and just as Vince had promised, it really took off once the clock struck late. Around 11:30 PM, DJ Vince (yes, the groom himself) took over the decks and brought the house down with beats straight from his Palazzo Nightclub days. The jackets came off. Shirts were soaked. Air guitars were played using our light stands. It. Was. Legendary.
Stacey and Vince threw a wedding that was elegant, joyful, emotional, and completely wild by the end of the night. It had all the heartwarming moments we love to photograph, and all the unpredictable ones that make the night unforgettable. Thank you both for trusting us with your story!

When’s the last time you really celebrated New Year’s Eve with your family or friends? I know for us it’s been a while. Not too many people really celebrate New Year’s Eve nowadays - they just stay at home watching the countdown on TV (that’s if they can stay awake long enough). Bars and restaurants charge exuberant fees for special New Year’s Eve menus, plus they can be so crowded, which is not always the most fun... so that’s why we adore the idea of New Year’s Eve weddings.
The One King West wedding of Kim and Milan was a glamorously royal affair - with purple and gold as their theme colours, what else could we expect? When we initially met with Kim and Milan, it was evident that they were enjoying the wedding planning process and that they already had a vision for their big day. Spending quality time and celebrating with their family and friends was a priority. They wanted to truly soak in every moment of the day stress-free, be present, and have fun.
Laura and Alen originally had very different plans for their wedding venue and Casa Loma had not been in the picture until just a couple of months before the wedding. Crazy enough, Diego and I had driven past Casa Loma and remarked how cool it would be to shoot a wedding there just minutes before receiving the email from Laura and Alen telling us about the venue location change due to unforeseen circumstances.
