Toronto Winter Wedding – April & Mike

April and Mike’s classy winter wedding was a dream to shoot!

Just a couple of months prior to their wedding, we met downtown Toronto for a coffee. We wanted to get to know one another a little more, chat details of the wedding, and snap a few “engagement photos”, they were both so laid back, that I think I only took about 50 images of them enjoying their post work coffees. They filled me in that the Love by Lynzie team was helping them to create a classy, winter wedding with pops of teal, gold (check Mike’s shoes!!) and lots of black. They’d be bringing together 225 of their best and closest to celebrate their marriage in a gorgeous church downtown Toronto before shredding up the dance floor all evening!

Meet the couple

What were your top 3 most important things while planning the wedding?
  1. We really wanted our wedding to reflect us. We trusted our instincts on a lot of decisions, even when it meant going against the grain.
  2. Making sure our guests would have a great time!
  3. We always made sure to check in with each other and set aside quality time together during the craziness of planning the wedding, so that we would not lose sight of why we were doing this.
What was your favourite part of the day?!

April
“Running down the church steps with my new husband and our wedding party, while the church bells rang and cars honked their horns!”

Mike
“Tearing up the dance floor til 2 in the morning with our closest friends and family! Dancing closely with April to Hey Jude while everyone formed a circle around us!”
