Wedding Date on Oct 14, 2023

Shannon and Ryan chose the picturesque Sylvanside Farm for their wedding. It was a very romantic event where Ryan and Shannon celebrated almost 10 years of being together and entering a new stage of their life together… Shannon was excited to spend such a special day surrounded by their closest friends and family. Many friends attending the wedding have seen their relationship grow since high school, so it was extremely heart-warming for Shannon to celebrate with all of them. Here is what Shannon writes, “Ryan and I met in Middle School and remained as close friends until we started dating our Sophomore year in High School. By the time of our Wedding Day, we will have been together for nearly 10 years. In a sense, we have grown up together, which is something we hold near and dear to us as we realize how special and rare that is. We have always been best friends, and laughing hysterically together is our favorite activity. Now-a-days, we're less-rowdy than our teenage and college years, as we've settled into a new home on 2.5 acres in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We're enjoying this new phase of "adult" life and spend most of our quality time at home with our 1 year old dog, Bandit.” She continues, “Ryan is the most hard-working person I know. His kindness and willingness to help others and put others needs first before his, never fails to amaze me. He would do anything for his family and those he loves, and carries the same traditional family values and morals I've always envisioned for myself. He is effortlessly funny, handsome, and supportive of me in any and all ways. I'm most excited for the moment Ryan sees me walking down the aisle and his reaction. I can imagine it feeling like a surreal moment, so I can't wait to have that mental picture forever.” We, Vera and Desmond from Fine Art Wedding Film, want to wish this sweet couple (together with their dog Bandit) all the happiness in the world and many more beautiful mental pictures.
