A Christmas Wedding at Stone Gable Estates | Abby + William | December 6, 2025
Kneeling on the beautifully refurbished wooden floor of Ironstone Ranch at Stone Gable Estates, bathed in natural light flooding in from a nearby window, I heard excitement and what I thought was a man saying, “Here it is. Your future venue!” After making a slight adjustment to the stunning flat lay of the invitation suite by RSVP Love, in front of me, perfectly framed by a Christmas wreath of florals, I had picked up the day before from Floral Designs of Mount Joy, I looked up to see an excited couple surveying the reception space at Ironstone Ranch—both the space I would capture only a few hours later during Abby and William’s reception, and the space I had celebrated in myself on my own wedding night. As I quietly repositioned the beautiful pieces in front of me, highlighted by the gorgeous florals carefully curated by Floral Designs of Mount Joy, I listened to Tianna outline all the possibilities available to this couple when booking with Stone Gable Estates. I couldn’t help but think, “Do yourself a favor and book your date soon before all the good dates are gone!” They left after only a few minutes of awe at the space already coming to life for this day’s wedding. As I finished capturing the flat-lay photos for Abby and William, I paused to feel grateful for this day— for this fantastic couple and the group they had invited to celebrate with them. There was snow on the ground, for heaven’s sake. How special!
The day went smoothly without any issues. Everyone contributed to make sure every detail was taken care of. With Simply Events Inc., the couple’s vision was easily brought to life.
Abby and William both love Christmas. With two children each, who wouldn’t enjoy this magical time of year? What better way to bring their two families together than under the warm embrace of Christmas? It was spectacular. These two people are far beyond ordinary. They are kind and thoughtful beyond what is usually expected. They found each other after years of struggle and searching. No one on this day could argue that these two had found the love of a lifetime in each other. They are perfect for each other, and their families will blend well together.
Each of their four children played a vital role on the wedding day. We all teared up during Chase’s best man speech. Well done, kiddo! Everyone performed their roles perfectly and enjoyed the day full of fun. As a mom of four myself, I was truly impressed and couldn’t be happier for this wonderful family. Scroll down to see this amazing day from start to finish through my eyes.
Abby and Bill,
I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me to capture your best day ever without meeting beforehand. We connected instantly, and I’m so glad I was there with you as you brought your two families together on this unforgettable day. I couldn’t be happier for you and the bright future ahead. I hope you love this sample of photos from your best day ever. And because I know how hard it is to wait, there will be a surprise in your inbox later today. So, don’t forget to check it!
Hugs,
Megan
