Stonegate Wedding Weekend: Three Couples, One Photographer

Fall Weddings

Dec 18

The third week of October is always a bustling time for our wedding venues. It's like a whirlwind of love and excitement as we cater to the needs of our numerous couples looking to tie the knot. At Samuel Cedars and Stonegate Glass Chapel, we’re accustomed to hosting several weddings back to back, sometimes reaching upwards of 8–10 in just one weekend.

This year, however, was particularly special as I had the privilege of photographing not one, not two, but three incredible couples in a row—all at Stonegate Glass Chapel! It was definitely a challenge to leave my babies at home so much (shout out to my hubs and my in-laws for holding down the fort at home), but it was worth it all to work closely with such amazing couples: Randhi & Osiris, Kathy & Ray, and Allie & Blake!

Each wedding had its own unique vibe, from heartfelt private vows to packed dance floors and teary-eyed family toasts. Even with three weddings back to back, each one felt completely its own. That’s one of the things I love most about Stonegate—how each couple is able to make the space reflect their story so beautifully.

Back-to-back wedding weekends are no joke, but they also remind me how much I love what I do. There’s something really special about being trusted to capture moments that matter so deeply. It’s not just about pretty pictures (though you’ll definitely get those)—it’s about documenting the real stuff: the hugs, the tears, the happy dances, the quiet glances.

So yes, I was tired. But my heart was full. And I’m so grateful to each of these couples for letting me be part of such a big chapter in their lives.
