We love being a part of the whole wedding journey with every couple, especially when we get to start with their engagement photos. After spending the day in Jim Thorpe with Ben and Stacey for their engagement session, we were excited to spend their big day at Constantino’s in Clarks Summit. Constantino’s is a unique venue that offers a place to prep for the day, a ceremony location, and a reception room. We’re used to seeing ceremonies held outside here, but since it was raining (which we heard is good luck!) Stacey and Ben were able to tie the knot inside at the venue before dancing the night away. We hope you enjoy this look into their day!

“Connor, Danielle, and that train are now one in love.”- The One and Only Father Paisley

and WHOA, ‘that train’, is right! Watching it flow behind Danielle as she walked down the aisle and then beautifully flood close to the entire alter was jaw-droppingly incredible. We were just as blown away after we helped her lace up the trail into her dress for wedding reception mode.  Two dresses in one; so cool! Connor and Danielle’s wedding day was filled with so much family, friends, laughter, dancing, and… rain.  It poured the entire time everyone was getting ready for the day. The amazing pipe and drum duo that played before and after the ceremony were donning their best rain gear, and there was an intense mist that lasted throughout the reception. Lucky for us, the sky calmed down just long enough for the most stunning shots of the newlyweds out over the water at Split Rock. However, as Connor’s sister shared during her speech, rain really is lucky on your wedding because when a knotted rope gets wet it becomes more difficult to untie. So, by ‘tying the knot’ on a rainy day, you create the strongest bond. Which is exactly what Connor and Danielle did! We hope you enjoy their photos as much as we do!

And the Two Shall Become One… The ecstatic newlyweds, Jenelle and Michael, had such a magical wedding day. They first met each other while doing theater (#bowstovows), so their day was filled with picturesque landscapes, close friends with beautiful singing voices, and the biggest smiles ever. Our smiles were stretched from ear to ear, too, especially after their first look. When Jenelle tip toed up and tapped Michael on the back, she literally knocked the air out of him. It melted our hearts! Then, as if they weren’t already as close as they could possibly be after tying the knot, they got tangled up in all of the streamers that their guests popped at them during their recessional which made us melt even more. We hope you feel the same after a glimpse into their day.

Erin and Josh. What. A. Party. Yes, their wedding day was epic enough for single word sentence fragments. There was karaoke, a donut tower, dancing, dancing, and more dancing. Better yet, Erin decorated most of the venue and even scored her drop dead gorgeous dress as a thrift find. Their big day was held at Shadyrill Farm in Dallas for the venue’s featured spring wedding. The barn has a beautiful, rustic atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home, and all of the room to break out some fancy footwork. We can’t get over how incredibly the bride and groom’s photos came out, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Congrats to Erin and Josh from all of us at KJAD!

Another beautiful day in Scranton; our home away from home! Usually our parents pass down wedding accessories or attire to us, but this time Teresa’s parents passed down the church in which they got married. Both couples walked down the same aisle at Holy Cross Church. They even have a photo for proof down below. So cool! After the ceremony we got to sneak in a couple of gorgeous shots at Lake Scranton before the most romantic of light drizzles started to fall. We absolutely adore the photo of the newlyweds underneath their umbrella on Downtown Scranton’s Square. Turns out the happy couple also have some fancy footwork skills and surprised us all with a beautiful first dance (that dip!). Here’s a peek into their special day.

KJAD wedding road trip!! Yay! This time we got to head a bit south to celebrate Lauren and Eric’s big day at The Phoenixville Foundry outside of Philadelphia. Finally! We’ve been waiting to shoot a wedding here ever since attending the workshop offered by The Hoffshop at The Foundry. What an amazing venue! Thanks, Lauren and Eric!!  We were especially excited for their big day after being a part of their summer engagement shoot last year in Hoboken, New Jersey. It was super cool to see them incorporate our photos into their wedding decor. Congrats to the beautiful bride and dapper husband! Enjoy!

Who needs rain on their wedding day when you’ve got the Luck ‘o’ the Irish? Or should we say #luckofthecaseys.. We spent St. Paddy’s Day this year at The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel to celebrate Megan and Kieran’s big day. Everywhere we looked there was an elegant pop of that lucky green. Megan even rocked the coolest green velvet shoes with her stunning dress. We can’t speak for the grass or trees though; it was a bit chilly and snow covered when we made a pit stop at McDade Park, but beautiful nonetheless. Luckily for us, the sun was out while we captured and celebrated the wedding of Megan and Kieran.  Sláinte!

First Wedding of 2018!! Fireworks and applause and magic and, and everything awesome in the world combined into one! Woo! We get really excited to start off a new wedding season, especially with a home court advantage! We got to spend the whole day with Casey and Matt at The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, and thank goodness because it rained.. a lot! You know what they say.. and we could definitely tell how lucky they felt to have each other in their lives. Casey and Matt’s first look was one of the sweetest that we’ve ever had the pleasure of sharing with newlyweds to be. We love first looks so much because it’s a quiet, exciting moment for the bride and groom to just slow down and be alone with each other in the midst of such a huge day. It’s one of those extra special memories that they’ll always have to look back on and smile.. and maybe even shed a tear of joy. Let’s just say it got a little emotional… yay, Matt!!

We hope you enjoy a look into their special day as much as we loved being a part of it.
