A Fairytale Wedding: Josh + Ashley at Casa Loma & Château Le Jardin

Some wedding days feel like they’ve been lifted straight out of a storybook—and Josh and Ashley’s was exactly that. From saying “I do” in the grandeur of Casa Loma to dancing the night away at the elegant Château Le Jardin, their celebration had all the makings of a royal romance… with just the right dose of fun.

The Ceremony at Casa Loma

As photographers, there are few backdrops more jaw-dropping than a literal castle. Casa Loma is a dream venue—stone towers, lush gardens, and that sweeping view of Toronto. Josh and Ashley’s ceremony felt like it belonged in a movie. Guests gasped as Ashley walked down the aisle, the sunlight catching the details of her gown just perfectly. Josh’s reaction? Let’s just say no amount of cool composure could hide how much he adores her. (Spoiler: we definitely caught the happy tears on camera.)

Between vows, laughter, and one very enthusiastic first kiss, the ceremony had everything we love about weddings. Romantic, heartfelt, and completely theirs.

The Reception at Château Le Jardin

From castle vibes to pure elegance—Château Le Jardin welcomed guests into a celebration that was nothing short of spectacular. Think sparkling chandeliers, gorgeous floral details, and a dance floor that was begging to be filled.

Dinner was delicious, speeches brought equal parts laughter and tears, and once the music started… the party didn’t stop. Josh and Ashley made their grand entrance like absolute stars, and the energy carried right through to the late-night dance floor chaos (the best kind of chaos).

Portraits Fit for Royalty

After the “I do’s,” we roamed the castle grounds for portraits. Every corner of Casa Loma begs to be photographed—the ivy-covered stone walls, sweeping staircases, and those secret little nooks that make couples look like they’ve stepped into their own fantasy world. Josh and Ashley were absolute naturals, slipping between quiet, romantic moments and bursts of laughter that had us all cracking up.

The Photographer’s Takeaway

For us, Josh and Ashley’s day was about more than just beautiful venues (though wow, did they deliver). It was about two people who balance each other perfectly—romantic one second, playful the next. Photographing them was like chasing pure joy, and we couldn’t be happier to have been part of their fairytale.
