Winter Wedding | Stone Ridge Hollow | Sidney & Zach

To Have & To Zoeller

Sidney and Zach were married on an unseasonably warm January day at Stone Ridge Hollow. We couldn’t have special ordered a 55 degree day in the beginning of January if we tried; yet still, Sidney and Zach were blessed with that beautiful weather. Their day was seamless from beginning to end. Sidney’s amazing hair and make-up artists kept their pre-ceremony activities ahead of schedule, while the gentlemen were beating the clock on their side of the house as well. The bridesmaids even had time to learn the whole Git Up Challenge before putting on their gowns (which came in handy during the reception).

Sidney and Zach’s day was overflowing with happy tears. From the moment she put on her gown, to her walk down the aisle, the dances with her parents, the touching military honoring by the best man, and the long episode of ‘ugly crying’ from one of the groomsmen as he related these moments to his future. Sidney stated she felt good about holding back her tears until she saw Zach crying at the end of the aisle – and then hers started flowing as well.

They danced, spun, and crowd surfed their way through the rest of their reception. I don’t think I have ever experienced a reception with quite as many people being lifted in the air as I saw at the Zoeller wedding. It was actually quite impressive to the the amount of strength and coordination throughout the guests. And all of that in the middle of a packed dance floor – so much fun! Towards the end of the evening, we took a quick break from the party to capture some night photos. So worth it – just wait until you see the gorgeous pond all lit up. Sidney & Zach – thank you so much for choosing me to be such a big part of your wedding day.
