Palais Royale Toronto Wedding Photographer: Aliki and Peter

Sometimes it takes a wedding for some to meet the ones. Aliki started noticing Peter’s glances in the wedding ceremony that they were both part of the bridal party. And it didn’t take long for Aliki to notice that the whole room was in love with Peter and of a great guy he was for making sure everyone was taken care of. At the end of the night, she was sold seeing him dancing. And we quote from Aliki: “A huge part of me is somehow connected to him, our culture… and somehow, our future.”

Ladybug brings good luck and this little one made a special appearance just before Aliki got into her dress. (And it also made sure to make a second appearance on the way back after the ceremony! Aliki and Peter got all the lucks they need for life!)

This one was a funny moment. As she was dressed (and even got her shoes on already), Aliki realized that she still had her yoga pants on! First wedding crisis averted as Sophie, her sister, got in there and took these out. And the next moment is of course, Aliki’s face of: yes, I am ready to get married!!

We made sure to document the parents’ reactions to Aliki walking down the stairs as a bride. And what made this extra special is, Aliki’s dad who worked and renovated this hallway and staircase for his first daughter to walk down on her wedding day… All those minutes, he tried hard to hold back his tears.

While Aliki and the girls were getting ready in her house, Kevin was with Peter and his gents in his parents’ house. We did not know a line dancing would take place until it happened just right then and there! SO fun!

The church was five minutes walk from Peter’s and they took the time walking there. It was a much needed time for this mother and son to share their words and moments before the celebration of the day started.

They were married on a beautiful spring day in Greek Orthodox Church of St. Irene Chrisovalantou. 

These two hugged right after their first kiss and just made us all teary knowing that they were married to their bestest friend. So much joy radiating through them all day long.

We did walk back to Peter’s house and stopped by at Starbucks on the way!

It was a beautiful spring day and it was the first day of the season, weather wise. A couple days before and after were freezing cold! All in all, it was the day that was made for just the two of them. Both of us found them so special and caring and not surprised to see how perfect things turning out for them.

Just look at how perfect the sunset light kissed them in this picture, Palais Royale is totally the venue to get married at by the water!

Loved how relaxed Aliki and Peter are in these pictures. The seagull even made a few appearances on their wedding portraits, including the following photos. the one on the right.

For a wedding day full of cultural happenings as theirs and for a view like this, we are so grateful that these two chose us to be their Palais Royale Toronto wedding photographer.

And when the reception begins… It was a roller coaster of emotions! Going through the photos of the night was incredible as you see laughter and tears of joy everywhere! Aliki and Peter told us that they wanted these moments to be documented so that they get to look back and remember them. Their goal that night is to store up the good energy for the inevitable challenging times in their marriage. With all the love and joy that everyone shared with them that night, these two will definitely overcome anything and everything in front of them!

Peter and Aliki, we know that you are both soaking on the Hawaiian sun, enjoy your time! Thank you for choosing us!

Share the love,

Jenn and Kevin
