Chris + Sara | Stonegate Farms Wedding
Some weddings are pure sunshine, and others… save it for the perfect moment ☀️
Chris and Sara’s day at Stonegate Farms was soft, overcast, and beautifully moody right up until the last 15 minutes of portraits when the sun broke through just for them. It was as if the light itself waited all day to bless their love story.
🍂From the start, I knew this was going to be a day full of heart. Stonegate’s spacious bridal home gave the ladies a gorgeous spot to get ready (seriously, dream lighting!), while the guys had one of the best groom spaces I’ve seen at any venue! Big, comfortable, and perfect for all their pre-ceremony antics including a quick game of poker and maybe one or two video game battles after.
Before the ceremony, Chris and Sara exchanged private vows without seeing each other… and let’s just say, the tears started early and didn’t stop. (If I had to sum up the day in two words? Kisses & Tears.)
And speaking of unforgettable moments , earlier in the day, I pulled Chris aside to give him a surprise groom gift: a bo***ir album full of special images that Sara and I had created together a my studio under Starla Dear Bo***ir. His reaction? Equal parts laughter, blushing, and the sweetest teary-eyed disbelief as he whispered over and over, “She’s just so beautiful.”
(Ladies… trust me, this is your sign to book your session. 😉 It’s the best gift you can give , for him and for you.)
Chris’s four daughters did a first look with him that melted every heart. So many hugs, tears, and pure love. The bridal party was fun, helpful, and full of personality, truly the best kind of chaos.
Huge shoutout to Reilly from Haley Makay Events, who was a total rockstar. By the end of the night, we were high-fiving and laughing about how perfectly everything went because we had one another.
DJ Chuck with Act 1 Entertainment brought the magic (literally) with their patented “Dancing on a Cloud” first dance that took everyone’s breath away, the photo booth kept popping, and the caricature artist was such a hit! The Stonegate Farms staff were amazing start to finish, and I can honestly say Sara picked a dream team of vendors every bride hopes fo brought the magic (literally) with their patented “Dancing on a Cloud” first dance that took everyone’s breath away, the photo booth kept popping, and the caricature artist was such a hit!

And I can’t end this without mentioning Mountain Top Films ! Absolute pros, so talented, and genuinely fun to work alongside. I’d recommend them to every couple in a heartbeat.
It was one of those weddings that reminded me why I love what I do . Where emotion and beauty meet storytelling, and every photo feels like forever. Having gotten to know Sara and Chris over the last few months, I can truly say that the day was spent in the presence of soulmates. 💍✨
