Toronto Island Wedding Vows: Arunima + Conor

On a very hot and sweaty summer day, surrounded by their nearest and dearest in the middle of Kensington Market, Arunima and Conor shared their first look. Quickly after that, we all walked together to catch the Spadina streetcar down to the Harbourfront. From there, we hopped on the Tiki Taxi that carried us across the lake to one of the most beautiful ceremony spots on Toronto Island for the couples intimate ceremony .

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Arunima and Conor exchanged heartfelt and emotional vows. And once they were pronounced officially wed, guests celebrated by blowing bubbles as they shared one of their first kisses as a married couple. After family portraits and some sweet couple’s photos, we boarded the ferry back to the city, parting ways briefly before the celebration continued at Propeller Coffee Co’s event space. There, even more loved ones joined, and I captured speeches, including video messages from family and friends who could not be there in person.

One of my favourite moments of the evening was when Arunima’s parents broke out into dance, adding a touch of South Asian culture that blended beautifully into their North American wedding ceremony.

Photographing a wedding on Toronto Island has always been a dream of mine, and this day was everything I hoped it would be. It was an absolute pure joy of mine to capture, and I cannot wait to do it again next summer (I’m manifesting). If you are planning your wedding or wedding reception on Toronto Island, you must reach out to me. I would love to tell your story.
