Meet Orie & James…
We have photographed weddings and events in many venues in and around the city, but we have to say that nothing tops a romantic Ocho Hotel wedding in Toronto! This space is so versatile and adorable – plus you’d never know it was in the heart of Toronto due to the intimate and romantic atmosphere it conveys! But more so than the space itself – it’s the couples that get us every time! Enter Orie & James…
The Perfect Fit…
So, I know we have mentioned time and again that we keep things pretty intimate in our little company. But just how intimate, you ask? Well for one, we always have couples come to our house for tea, coffee, or as in Orie & James’ case, Port (more on that later). It’s so important for us to get to know our couples and figure out if we are the right fit for each other! In the case of Orie and James it was the perfect fit! Our 1-hour meeting turned into a 2.5 hour meeting which has since blossomed into a full-out friendship! But let’s chat about their wedding for a bit…
Located in the heart of Toronto, resides the unassuming but lovely Ocho Hotel! With two floors and an open concept, it’s the perfect (and romantic) backdrop to say your “I dos!” It’s slightly rustic interior offers a lovely oasis to it’s urban backdrop. It’s neutral and classic enough to accommodate any couples’ vision for the space but also detailed enough to feel intimate and cozy!
A Space to Call Their Own…
Orie and James’ Ocho Hotel wedding was the perfect reflection of them as a couple. Both love the outdoors, so Cool Green and Shady‘s beautiful greenery was a lovely compliment to the couple’s vision. Sprinkled throughout were details of vintage bicycles. (James is an avid biker – check out the couples’ cute e-session here to see more of his bike lovin’). Together with soft hues of rose, blush, and maroon – Orie’s chosen colours for the day!
The Special Day & Wild Party…
With close family and friends gathered, the couple promised each other a lifetime of love, support, joy, and open communication. The dance floor opened up shortly after dinner with a carefully choreographed and beautifully executed first dance (this one was for the books!) The party that followed was epic! Not a single person stood still and the dance floor shenanigans were hyped up by the amazing band, X Prime !(These guys are amazing – honestly we’ve worked with them before and we are blown away each time!) Even we couldn’t resist putting our gear away and enjoyed a dance or two!
