Anastacia & Wes tied the knot on a chilly Saturday afternoon in mid-October. I went to high school with this super sweet bride, so it was extra special to document her marriage to Wes. These two and their families were an absolute joy to work with, and we had so much fun photographing this beautiful day! \"\"\"\"\"\"When a first look with your brother has everyone in tears, it’s clear that it’s going to be an incredible day!
\n\"\"\"\"Ahh and this first look! I just can’t handle how adorable Anastacia’s reaction was to seeing Wes for the first time on their wedding day – these two are just adorable!\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"After the ceremony, we headed back to the country club for portraits of the wedding party and the couple! Everyone dealt with the cold weather like champs – I’m so glad we didn’t get any rain that day!\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"The wine-themed reception was beautiful, and I’m always amazed at what an incredible job the Montour Heights Country Club staff does, even with such a large number of wedding guests!! \"\"\"\"The bride and groom entered their reception playing air guitars – really there’s nothing cuter than these two!! \ud83d\ude42\"\"I think this one below is one of my very favorite images from the day – Anastacia’s happiness is infectious! \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"This wedding will probably go down in history for the most cookie images I’ve ever delivered in a gallery – I’ve never seen such a spread in my career!!\"\"The parent dances get me every time <3 \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Volante! We wish you many years of happiness and love – and cookies! <3<\/p>\n
