Today, I'm beyond excited to take you on a journey through this Sara Restaurant wedding in Toronto that Tara + Brad got to experience with a modern twist!

Picture this: Tara + Brad starting off their day at a modern, earthy vibe at 1 Hotel in Toronto, where the day began amidst wooden furniture and lush greenery. Brad and his groomsmen kicked off the day with a quick breakfast, followed by suiting up and popping champagne. The emotional notes exchanged between the lovebirds set the tone for what was to come – laughter, tears, and a whole lot of love! Also, my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw Tara's unique wedding outfit as she got dressed! I was OBSESSED and it was so her!

Cue the Uber ride to the first look. Picture Tara, cool as a cucumber with her sunnies on, heart racing with anticipation. And then, that moment at Osgoode Hall when they locked eyes – joyous, emotional, and oh-so-memorable! Then we ventured out into the city for some fun portraits which included spontaneous high fives from skateboarders, and even an ice cream pit stop from an ice cream truck – just because they felt like it! :)

Their courthouse ceremony was a perfect reflection of Tara's profession as a lawyer – simple, yet full of meaning! Hugs, tears, and a flower petal exit straight out of a European romance film added to the charm.

But wait, there's more! An epic outfit change led to a surprise at cocktail hour at Sara Restaurant. Tara and Brad did things their way, and it was perfect! And let's not forget those extra tipsy + sexy "out on the town" sunset portraits!

And then there was the food. Oh, the food at Sara Restaurant in Toronto – so yummy it's making my mouth water just thinking about it. The night was topped off with vibey music, banter with family and friends, and also a few silly cigar puffs to top off the night!

Tara and Brad's wedding day was everything – chic, fun, and UNFORGETTABLE. I feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of it, and I know their photos will allow them (and me!) to relive those precious moments over and over again!!
