ADLER AT THE ALTAR
“Adler at the Altar” is an innovative wedding editorial that captures modern romance in the urban landscape. This concept celebrates the shift towards smaller, more intimate celebrations, specifically highlighting the charm of utilizing unique spaces such as chic city restaurants. This choice caters to the contemporary couple who desire to move away from the grandeur of conventional banquet halls, seeking a setting that is both personal and stylish. In this editorial, we explored the opportunity for high-quality craftsmanship and bespoke details, which are often unattainable in larger venues. Our inspiration is drawn from the renowned designer Jonathan Adler, known for his avant-garde approach that merges vibrant colors with bold, striking patterns. This influence is reflected through various event elements, particularly in the stunning art installation that gracefully winds its way through the atrium’s glass ceiling, adding a dynamic visual element to the atmosphere. The tablescapes showcase beautiful modern floral arrangements in unconventional vessels, blending elegance with whimsy. Every detail is personalized, from guest name straws to tailor-made menus, each adding a unique touch to the celebration. In a departure from traditional bridal attire, our model styles chic cocktail-style outfits, perfectly embodying the spirit of a modern, trendsetting bride who embraces individuality and style. This editorial is not just about showcasing a wedding setup; it’s about redefining the norms and setting new trends in wedding aesthetics.

ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
NATASHA AND MATTEO
We have an upcoming 4 day wedding celebration for Matteo and Natasha, and we couldn't be more thrilled to be their videography team.

We love getting to know our couples in advance, and spending some time together really helps us get those comfortable candid moments.
CONFLUENCE
We had an amazing time celebrating Art, dance, and great food. We can set up anywhere and deliver excellence, even super cool hidden venues under the Gardiner Expressway.
