Meanwhile, at her family home in Toronto, Dana and her bridesmaids gathered in matching pajamas, sharing laughter and fond memories as they sipped mimosas. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as Dana prepared for her big day. Glow expertly styled her makeup, while Golden Beauty Dry Bar worked their magic on her hair. Dana's mom and her maid of honour ensured every detail of her dress, shoes, and jewelry was perfect. One of the most touching moments of the morning was Dana’s reveal to her father. His excitement and joy were evident as he saw his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time. Dana also shared a special reveal with her bridesmaids, who were thrilled to see her looking stunning.

Now that Dana and Stefan were all dressed up, it was time for their first look. The special moment unfolded at Dana's house, where anticipation filled the air as she approached Stefan.

Distillery District, Toronto | Dana and Stefan

After the photoshoot, Dana and Stefan had a beautiful Jewish ceremony at Archeo in the Distillery District. Officiated by Rabbi Audrey Kaufman, the outdoor setting provided a perfect backdrop for their heartfelt vows under the chuppah. Dana and Stefan exchanged vows in Hebrew, honouring Dana's Israeli roots and adding a personal touch to their special day. Stefan's breaking of the glass marked the beginning of their journey as husband and wife, followed by their joyous first kiss as a married couple.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour at Archeo. The venue was beautifully decorated with flowers and candles by The Toronto Florist, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Dana and Stefan made a grand entrance into the reception, greeted by cheers and applause from their guests. The reception was filled with heartfelt speeches, including a special one from Stefan, who expressed his deep love for Dana and shared their love story.

A touching moment during the reception was the father-daughter and mother-son dances, where Dana and Stefan shared special dances with their parents. The dance floor was kept buzzing with energy by DJ Floh Back Productions, and the celebration continued with lots of dancing and laughter. One of the highlights of the evening was the hora, a traditional Jewish dance where Dana and Stefan were lifted in chairs while guests danced around them, symbolizing their union and joy.

Throughout the night, guests enjoyed a photobooth from The Photo Bus Booth, adding an element of fun to the celebration. The evening was a perfect blend of tradition, love, and joy, making Dana and Stefan’s wedding a day to remember.

We are so happy to have been a part of Dana and Stefan's special day. It means so much to us that the film we created will be cherished for years to come. We hope that every time they watch it, they will be able to relive their beautiful wedding day and all the wonderful moments that made it unforgettable.
