Angela & Andrea's Wedding: Vaughan Wedding Photographers at Riviera Events and Convention Centre

Gosh! Angela & Andrea's Wedding was so romantic, complete with tears and tender moments. Their Wedding had a slight twist, skipping the outdoor photo session, and instead incorporating a must-see-indoor photo session at the famous Avenue Nightclub in Vaughan. 

Angela & Andrea's romance first began when they met at a mall through mutual friends.

It was New Years Eve in 2016 at the Cibo Wine Bar in Yorkville where Andrea planned a surprise proposal. Angela was excited about a fun outing that evening, expecting to enjoy a nice meal, when instead it ended up in a surprise proposal from her best friend and soulmate, Andrea. 

​Meeting with Angela & Andrea, Mike and I knew from the get-go they were two heartfelt people. Seriously, these two are so sweet. We were especially happy to photograph their Wedding, as they were very appreciative and confident of our abilities to capture the sincere and candid moments of their Wedding. Their families were very welcoming and genuine.

Gosh, just getting this journal ready, filling it with their Wedding photos, makes me excited about getting their Wedding Album into their hands soon!

The Bride

We loved how Angela carried herself so elegantly throughout her Wedding day. She was so calm! The day flowed so naturally with her. During her moments before the I'do's, it was a breeze. She held it together when her and her sister had a few tender moments together, but as soon as her Godfather walked through the door, her tears emerged. Angela gave her Mom and Dad a little hankie, with special poems for each parent. Her Mom teared up. Dad had his moment too when he first saw his daughter in her bridal gown.  

​Angela looked stunning. I just loved the flowy gown she chose, oh and did you see those gorgeous shoes? Um, can I just say: that's the right kind of bling right there, folks! Oh and that gorgeous veil was so lacy and pretty! Don't forget to check out those gorgeous Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid dresses!

​Angela's experience with Cecilia as her photographer: "Cecilia, you make every moment fun and easy-going. Nothing felt as if it was staged. It all seemed natural."

The Groom

​Andrea should just call GQ Magazine and model for them, seriously. He's got such a fashionable look. And we can't forget how well-dressed the Best Man and Groomsmen were for Andrea's big day, looking like some cool mobsters from a movie, cigars and all. 

What's great about Andrea is that he's got an amazing personality, and he's such an easy-going guy. He's such a romantic. We have proof! If you scroll down to the Ceremony, you'll find him handing over a tissue to Angela after some teary-eyed moments. I mean, come on, he carries Kleenex on his Wedding Day in his suit jacket! Now that's love and how romantic is that??

​Andrea's experience with Mike as his photographer: "Mike was so fun to work with, professional and very artistic. He made everyone and myself feel comfortable as if we were buddies. Mike was always ready to capture the spontaneous moments."

The Ceremony
​
​The Ceremony took place at St. David's Parish in Maple ON. It was definitely a stunning Catholic Church. The Reverend was very welcoming and during his homily, he thanked Angela and Andrea for getting married and announcing to the World about their love, because love conquers all. Very fitting for this romantic couple. 

​(Pssst, if you haven't done so already, now is the time to check out Andrea's romantic Kleenex photos!).

Portraits

​Angela & Andrea decided on staying indoors for photos. Once you see their Portrait photos, you'll agree it was a great idea.

​Their reception took place at Riviera Events & Convention Centre in Vaughan ON.

​And right inside that reception is Avenue Night Club. 

​We were happy to photograph inside this nifty little spot. Truly  a gem when you think the way Mike and I do. As we are skilled in creative night photography, we didn't hesitate once about the dark spots in this night club. With a bit of off-camera flash, we think these photos truly emphasize the elegance and grandeur of this gorgeous couple. (sidenote: for any photographers reading this, check out MagnetMod. You won't be disappointed with their stuff when it comes to creativity and fun, worth every penny!). 

​Angela & Andrea's experience with Cecilia & Mike as a team: "Cecilia & Mike are a phenomenal husband and wife team with different artistic visions. From our Engagement shoot to the day leading up to the Wedding was stress-free. We would definitely recommend/refer them to family and friends looking for a photographer. Our entire Wedding party, including the little kiddies and family had a blast with you guys."

The Cake, The Dances, The Speeches

​Riviera Events & Convention Centre in Vaughan ON is a stunning venue. With high ceilings and plenty of dance floor space, it's no wonder that Andrea & Angela picked this place for their 200 Wedding guest list. 

​Thinking of a unique Wedding cake. How about a Cannoli cake? Yes please! 

​Such a romantic husband and wife dance. Then came the teary-eyed father-daughter dance. And Andrea's mom was tearful when she danced with her son but Andrea made her feel like a dancing queen with a fun spur-of-the-moment twirl. We captured some incredible moments during the speeches. ​

Their plans now that the Wedding is over? They are content in creating a new chapter together as husband and wife.

Some helpful tips for other brides and grooms: Angela & Andrea suggest making ready-made labels if you plan on going to a Wedding show. And another great idea is creating a Wedding email address, exclusively for vendors to contact you. 

​Well, that's a wrap-up with this sincere and stunning Wedding. 

​Angela & Andrea, thank you for choosing us to capture your moments. It was an honour to meet you, your families and friends and we wish you all the best on your new journey as wife and husband.

XO

Cecilia & Mike
