October 9, 2021 was a beautiful Saturday with overcast skies, but no rain! The Canaan Valley was so beautiful with some stunning fall foliage, setting the perfect scene for this amazing couple’s special day. Becca & Zach’s wedding day began with these two getting ready in separate cabins at the Black Bear Resort. After getting ready, we headed to the ceremony location at the Cannan Valley Resort State Park. The ceremony was so incredible, with a wonderful location and beautiful vows. After the ceremony we grabbed wedding party photos, family formals, and some bride & groom portraits and then headed back to Black Bear Resort for the reception! What a great venue! The scenery from the back deck is simply gorgeous. Heaters were set up outside making this chilly day a little warmer. At the reception, wonderful speeches were given, a garter was tossed as well as a bouquet. It was a celebration for the books. Congrats to Becca & Zach!

Michelle & Cody’s special day began with these two getting ready in separate locations. Michelle got ready at her rental with the help of her sister. After getting ready, Michelle was pleasantly surprised by her family singing to her in some bridal themed attire. Next, Michelle headed over to their venue which happened to be Cody’s family cabin! They decided to do their first look there and Cody’s reaction to seeing Michelle for the first time on their wedding day was simply perfect. We grabbed some family formals and bride & groom portraits before heading to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Thomas, WV. A traditional Catholic ceremony was held and then this awesome couple was married! Next came the reception where we headed back to the family cabin for appetizers and dinner, which was catered by Cody’s very own restaurant! The newlyweds shared a first dance and enjoyed their evening surrounded by their family and friends. I snagged the couple for some sunset photos and then let them enjoy the rest of the night, dancing away with their wonderful guests. It was a pleasure to work with these amazing people.
