The Restaurant Eighteen Wedding
On a crisp fall day in Major Hills Park, Vanessa and Alex shared an emotional first look overlooking the iconic Château Laurier. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the moment was filled with smiles, anticipation, and the perfect touch of autumn charm.
Following this heartfelt exchange, we transitioned into formal portraits with their loved ones—a mix of elegance and warmth that perfectly reflected the couple's vision for their day.
Along Sussex Drive, Vanessa and Alex explored the city for their portraits, blending modern sophistication with romantic touches. Vanessa's ethereal tulle veil, paired with her Park & Fifth gown, added a chic touch, while Alex’s tailored forest green Indochino suit brought a sharp, refined contrast.
Inside Restaurant Eighteen, romance bloomed in every corner. A floral installation by DTE Florals transformed their altar into a statement of deep reds and lush textures. The same rich tones carried through to the tables, where cascading blooms glowed softly in the intimate lighting. The wine bottle seating chart added a playful, personalized touch, tying together a setting that felt both thoughtfully curated and effortlessly inviting.
Vanessa and Alex’s ceremony was a heartfelt blend of love and connection. With friends and family gathered in the cozy ambiance of Restaurant Eighteen, emotions ran high as the couple exchanged their vows. Every word felt intentional, each promise met with quiet nods and tearful smiles from their loved ones. It was a moment suspended in time—intimate, poignant, and undeniably theirs.
The energy in the room was contagious as guests mingled, danced, and toasted to the newlyweds with the most charming martinis—each one as stylish as the evening itself. The vibe was effortlessly relaxed yet elevated, with laughter and music filling the space. Vanessa and Alex moved through the crowd, soaking in every moment, their free-spirited love reflected in the lively atmosphere. It was the perfect capstone to a day filled with connection and celebration.
