After over ten years of photographing weddings there are few things that I haven’t photographed. However last June I got to do something I had never done before and to be honest I was a little bit intimidated by it. I had my first double wedding. What is a double wedding? Of course there’s many different ways to do it but for my wedding last June it was two sisters marrying on the same day to two different grooms (who were not brothers, which I was the most often question I got).
It was a SUPER tight schedule as you can imagine (you should see my PDF timeline of this, it’s insane) so that was the cause of my intimidation because as most of us know, weddings can go completely off schedule by one slight mishap. Thankfully due to an amazing vendor team and my own team (there were THREE of us shooting this wedding!) nothing ever was too far off time wise, even when some last minute sewing needed to be done.
This is going to be the most photo heavy post I’ve ever posted and trust me when I say I’ve narrowed it down as far as I can bear to. But sometimes with two ceremonies and a double reception you’re just going to go over your made up self-rule of 50ish images for a blog post. Trust me though, these weddings are worth the patience to sit and scroll!
Thank you SO much to Nicholas, Barbie, Kristin and Kris for trusting me to document your amazing wedding day. It was so much fun and crazy in all the best ways.

Two bridal parties are definitely more fun than one!

The guys looked stellar in their three piece suits.
Of course they have to have a bit of fun or photo taking time is the WORST.
Again, I love how the pink bridesmaid gowns went for both weddings and despite being mismatched they looked perfectly perfect!
Barbie was also a bridesmaid but she had a few more wedding photos to take so it was just the two sisters along with Kristin.
Yay! I finally got to play with Kristin and Kris a bit! We didn’t have a ton of time since the cocktail hour was going on but they were so easy to work with and we were able to get in some beautiful images in the short time we had together.
I adore this. All of this.
These two were SO sweet together!
This is the last time I think that I saw these lights actually LIT in this little nook on East 4th Street and I’m glad they were because they just add a bit of fun to photos!
See what I mean about these two being adorable?
Kristin went for the more classic look but I loved it just as much.
How amazing is this bouquet! It is so freaking huge and amazing!
Kris looked quite dapper as well.Whew. Now we are to the reception. I know it’s been a long post but it gets better. Thanks for hanging in!
I loved their simply elegant white and gold skyline wedding cake by Wild Flour Bakery.
The floral centerpieces by Al Wilhelmy Flowers were stunning with the greenery, white roses and hydrangeas, pink roses and red roses. PERFECTION!
They had a large king table with each couple at the ends with this beautiful greenery rope down the center.
Doesn’t this just look beautiful?? I love the gold chiavari chairs!
Two cake kisses!
I really loved how they decided to skip introducing each bridal party member by name and instead opted for “The Groomsman!” and all the groomsman walked down the stairs while dancing and having a great time!
Then The Bridesmaids entered a little bit more low key though since they didn’t want to trip on their gowns.
Then Barbie and Nick entered while dancing down the stairs – peep Barbie’s awesome comfy shoes! Smart girl!
I LOVED how Kristin and Kris really got into it and had fun dancing on one of the landings!
They went right into toasts after the introductions and they went beautifully!
How cute are these two?
AND these two! There were a lot of loving looks and giggles.
Cheers to all of you!
After dinner they moved onto the first dances and Kristen and Kris started it off!
I’m a sucker for the lights at the Hyatt. They are so beautiful!
Then Barbie and Nick took their first spin on the dance floor.
Love!
The girls then danced with their father followed by the guys dancing with their moms..jpg)

Then Flash Jam Entertainment opened up the dance floor and it was PACKED..jpg)
I love that they did the bouquets and garters at the same time!.jpg)

Then the formalities were done and everyone just let loose on the dance floor for the rest of the night!
Of course I had to play with the rings before leaving for the night.
How fun is Kristin’s ring? I’m obsessed with the antique vibes!- Tudor House on Portage Lakes Wedding | Akron Ohio Wedding Photographer - December 17, 2025
