It was the perfect October day when Annah and Andre showed up at Villa Siena, ready for the day they will never forget. The girls hustled around, brushing on sparkle to Annah's arms and helping her primp her dress, meanwhile the guys drank a beer and kept each other laughing down the hall.
Annah and Andre didnt' see each other before the ceremony so there was great anticipation building the whole morning for the groom to see his bride. And once he saw Annah walking down the aisle, tears formed in his eyes as she walked towards him. Getting to photograph these two together after the ceremony was so much fun! Ryan and I loved how laid back these two were. They were joyful and happy together and it felt like they were just going to break into dance at any moment. It was such a great day for Annah and Andre and we loved being there to capture every moment! Thank you guys and enjoy your memories!

"My favorite time was, in general, getting ready prior to the ceremony. I was able to be with all of my bridesmaids and my mother and was eagerly (and anxiously) awaiting everything to start and to getting married. Andre and I exchanged letters and I absolutely loved reading what he wrote. He knew exactly how I would be feeling at that moment and knew precisely what to say to help calm me down. Most importantly, what he wrote made me laugh and feel at ease. He always knows what to say to make me feel better, and that just further confirmed that I was marrying the right man. " Annah
"I can still vividly recall walking down the aisle, my father holding me close, and seeing all of our family and friends smiling at us. The song "Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop" was playing. As I looked down the aisle I locked eyes with Andre and saw him smiling at me with small tears sparkling in his eyes. We had previously joked about how we would likely both cry during the ceremony, and I couldn't help but laugh a little and blink furiously to try to prevent tears from forming in my own eyes. We reached the end of the aisle and my father placed my hand in Andre's. I breathed in deeply and faced Andre, ready to become his wife." Annah
"For a the next few days after the wedding I was sort of bummed out,
not in a bad way at all but I wish I could re-live the entire day over
and over again. It was probably the best day of my life, and I wish I
could re-live it all over again. However if I had to choose only 1
hour, I would have to say as we were starting the ceremony. All my
guys were looking good, and then we started walking towards the aisle.
I saw all of our family and friends gathered to celebrate this one
moment in our life. Just seeing everyone there in support of us was a
remarkable moment. Then seeing Annah appear with her father, being
able to see her for the first time all dressed up and gorgeous just
took my breath away. I wish I could go back and re-live that ceremony
over and over again. Everything was perfect, music, friends, family,
and mostly seeing my beautiful wife." - Andre
"The story I love to repeat time and time again would be the grand
entrance of the reception. It was a cute idea of having our bridal
party walk in with L O V E letters, then having us walk into the room
full of family and friends all embracing us in love. After we walked
in our first dance was a little crazy because both of us didn’t know
how to slow dance, so we did our best." - Andre
"The best part of the dance
was the fireworks right at the end. We just slowly stopped and looked
on at the fireworks. I have never been to a wedding with fireworks so
to me that is the story I will always tell"- Andre
