Organ music on Bathurst Street, champagne by the lake: a church wedding at St. Mary's with a reception at The Henley Room

St. Mary's Parish & The Henley Room · June 13, 2025

Kimberly and Lloyd were married on June 13, 2025, with a traditional ceremony at St. Mary's Parish on Bathurst Street in Toronto, portraits on the waterfront and an evening celebration at The Henley Room.

The day started at home with family close by on both sides. Lloyd shared a few laughs in the mirror before heading out, while Kimberly got ready with her calla lilies by the window and the people she loves around her.

The ceremony at St. Mary's was traditional and full of faith, with organ and piano music and a church full of family and friends. Kimberly walked down the aisle with her family beside her, and the two of them walked back up it as husband and wife.

Afterwards we went down to the lake for portraits on the dock, with the Toronto skyline behind them and the wedding party in great spirits. Then The Henley Room filled up for the reception: a first dance by the fireplace, the cake, string lights overhead and a dance floor that rarely emptied.

If you are planning a church wedding at St. Mary's or anywhere in Toronto, or a reception at The Henley Room, we would love to hear about your day.

Their calm, cheerful energy and the fact that they're a couple themselves really helped us relax and enjoy the process, especially during the couple shots.
