Oddly enough the Lisbon Hotel is neither a hotel, nor located in Lisbon. It is actually a cocktail bar located in the Corktown neighbourhood of Toronto. The inside of the bar feels distinctly European in some way that I couldn’t really put on finger on. Regardless the interior photographed really well on film, and I especially loved all the natural light coming in from the large windows all around the space.

Getting Ready: Kind Edward Hotel
Venue: Lisbon Hotel

Andrea & Sam wanted their wedding day to feel like a large family gathering; intimate with just the people closest to them. They were also looking for something in the city which would was close to home. Lisbon Hotel’s modern interior, and central location really complimented their vision and was the perfect spot for these two.
We started the day off at the King Edward Hotel where both Andrea and Sam were getting ready in separate rooms with their families. I always enjoy photographing at the King Edward, the rooms feel elegant, spacious, and photograph so well! Here are a few of my favourite images from the morning.
I’m always taking images on film, regardless of how long I’m at a wedding day. It’s a core part of my process as a creative, and allows me to create the images that I do. So with that being said, here are some of my favourite captures throughout this wedding day on 35mm film!

With all that being said, here is the story of Andrea & Sam’s wedding day at Lisbon Hotel, told through images.
