Cas and Keegan chose to begin their wedding day with a quiet, intimate ceremony at Toronto’s New City Hall, before heading off to celebrate later at Elora Mill. Their morning downtown felt calm and joyful — the kind of energy that comes when everything feels right and unhurried.
We arrived together at 100 Queen Street West, the New City Hall location, just ahead of their ceremony time. There’s always a gentle buzz outside City Hall — family members greeting each other, a few nervous smiles, and that collective sense of anticipation before something meaningful begins. If you’re planning a City Hall wedding in Toronto, arriving about 15 minutes early is helpful for check-in and paperwork.
Once inside, we checked in at the desk and made our way through security before heading up to the wedding chambers. The elevator ride is always one of my favourite moments to photograph quiet excitement, papers in hand, laughter bubbling up as the reality of the moment sets in.
The New City Hall wedding chambers are bright, modern, and filled with natural light. Cas and Keegan’s ceremony took place in one of the intimate rooms upstairs, perfectly sized for their group of fifteen. It felt relaxed and personal — simple in the best possible way.
As the officiant led the ceremony, I focused on capturing both the meaningful milestones and the in-between moments: a squeeze of the hand, a shared smile, a quiet breath before the vows. These are the moments that often linger longest in memory.
After the ceremony, paperwork was signed, hugs were exchanged, and Cas and Keegan stepped outside as newlyweds. We took a few portraits in front of City Hall before gathering everyone together for family photos, an easy, joyful pause before the rest of their day unfolded.
Their City Hall ceremony was the perfect beginning to a celebration that later continued at Elora Mill, one of Ontario’s most romantic wedding venues. Toronto City Hall weddings may be brief, but they’re filled with emotion, intention, and meaning.
New City Hall vs Old City Hall in Toronto
Toronto offers two City Hall wedding locations the modern New City Hall (where Cas and Keegan were married) and the historic Old City Hall, which reopened for ceremonies more recently. Each offers a very different atmosphere, and both are beautiful in their own way.
