With the summer wedding season brought to a halt due to COVID-19, I’ve been reminiscing lately – alot actually – about all the weddings I have been fortunate and truly blessed to be part of over the past 6 years. This has been helping keep my spirits high during this time of uncertainty and serves as a gentle reminder not to give up hope that we will celebrate love in big beautiful ways again.
All weddings leave me with heart prints and one of my favs from last season is Andrea and Mike. Oh my heart, what a fabulous couple to work with! From the first time I sat down with Andrea and Mike, I knew we were a match made in planning heaven. Andrea was organized, thorough in her details, had a vision for the day, which I immediately connected with, and was looking for a wedding pro to oversee set up and help with making the events of the day run smoothly.
The day started off with a sweet ceremony at Miller’s Chapel (Ancaster Mill) and was followed by photos at McMaster University. This campus, with its architectural features and lush grounds, always provides a picturesque backdrop and I have to say, not only did Andrea and Mike bring their A+ game for their photo session but so did their bridal party. Everyone looked natural and comfortable in front of the lens with the ladies flawless and stunning in soft blue while the gents dapper and GQ ready in their dark suits.
Choosing only one word to describe their reception, it would have to be romantic. Winona Vine Estates in Stoney Creek hosted Andrea and Mike along with 250 of their family and friends for the evening. The elegant ballroom was filled with high and low centerpieces of white and cream florals, touches of greenery and had plenty of gold accents throughout. The high ceilings also allowed for an oh-so-pretty backdrop installation by A Night to Remember
Big love to Silverlight Photography for capturing all the moments and details of this day so perfectly and to Goody Cambay for creating a delightful same-day edit video, which all guests were treated to before getting their groove on and dancing the night away.

Andrea and Mike, cheers (and hugs) to your 1st year as Mr. and Mrs!!!
