Sultry Industrial Garden Romance at The Jam Factory Jam Factory Toronto only came into existence about a year ago, and already it has almost 100 bookings. It’s no wonder – it’s got the raw brick and beam loft charm that Torontonians love. The character of this place is unmistakeable. When you walk up the stairs that connect it to its downstairs neighbours, Merchants of Green Coffee, you know this place is the real deal – a historic site that has been given new life. We had the pleasure of shooting in the Jam Factory during its ‘soft opening’ period. What struck us immediately about this Toronto loft venue was the… Keep Reading

Geometric Wedding / Candlelit Elopement Inspiration
Geometric Wedding / Candlelit Elopement Wedding Inspiration There was a full moon that day, and so the moon was a welcome addition to the photos! The style of this shoot incorporates traditional opulent elegance mingled with clean geometric lines and shapes. Elegant, but not ‘too much’. Modern, but still soft.

We hope this shoot inspires the romantic, traditionally-inclined yet… Keep Reading
