For the fairy-tale wedding that dreams are made of, Prince of Wales is an unforgettable setting, with its antique and classic glamour. Though, this is not the only reason newlyweds Alison and Andrew choose this venue! From outstanding farm-to-table cuisine provided by our top chefs, to stunning custom florals by Clippings (our in-house florist), we can bring your storybook romance to life with the magical ambience you’re craving.
Getting Ready
On the big day, Alison and her bridal party chose a suite at the Prince of Wales hotel to get ready, where we captured the moments that remind you why you choose your bridal crew to stand alongside you while you say “Yes” to forever. Document the laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments as you prepare for the most special day of your life.
Bride by herself
Everyone loves a gorgeous glamour shot, and Alison deserves one all her own! Catch all the intricate details of your dress and hand-tied bouquet, along with plenty of shots that highlight your radiant beauty.
Bride with Bridal Party
Moments before Alison changed into her wedding dress, she shared a moment with her bridal party. During your big day, gather your nearest and dearest for a sweet group photo before the busyness of the day takes over and immortalize the special bond you share.
First Look
The first time you spot your partner on your wedding day is a moment you’ll never want to forget! Alison and Andrew chose The Gardens at Pillar and Post for their first look, meeting at an intimate spot overlooking the pond. Capture every magical moment, from the stolen glances as you walk down the aisle to the way you gaze at each other at the altar.
Picturesque Spots in the Gardens at Pillar and Post
Inspired by Monet’s French gardens, The Gardens are truly a fairy-tale setting, ideal for group photos with your bridal party and loved ones. We’re highlighting just a few of our favourite spots.
Bridge
Modeled after Monet’s Japanese bridge, this charming bridge over the pond is the perfect place for a group shot featuring your entire wedding party. Andrew and Allison, alongside their best friends, lined up together to share a few laughs as we captured all the highlights.
Overlooking the Pond
Use our serene pond as the beautiful backdrop for masterfully posed portraits, fun group photos, cute candid shots—the options are endless!
In the Gardens
The scenic beauty of The Gardens will only enhance your glow and the love you share as you and your partner pose together for portraits and candid photos.
In front of the Barn
Channel the vintage charm of our Barn, constructed from century-old wood! It’s the perfect way to inject a rustic chic aesthetic into your photos. Its large patio is ideal for group shots.
Picturesque Spots Around Prince of Wales
Our elegant Victorian manor oozes vintage glamour and makes a stunning backdrop for any photos! It gives an elegant, regal touch that elevates any wedding (and your photos!) to new heights, which is just what this bride and groom were looking for.
In Front of the Hotel

In the Historic Hallways
The historic halls of Prince of Wales feature exquisite vintage artwork, along with beautiful, embossed wallpaper that hearkens back to an era of sophistication. It’s a lovely setting for portraits, especially with the striking contrast between the elegant dark panelling and a white wedding gown.
