When it rains… it pours. And my god, did it pour. And when you go big… you do just what Amanda and John did, you go all out. Their wedding was joyous, exciting, rainy, and most importantly, was filled with the greatest of friends and family… oh, and a rubber horse head.  I mean why not?.. right? Let’s get weird, shall we?

John and Amanda are dear friends of Bridget and Steve and the KJAD crew. We have known each other for many many years. Some of you may even remember the days when John(ny Weekender) and Steve worked together at the Weekender followed by a few fun years even working together at KJAD.

Since we have all been friends for so long, it’s so great looking back and remembering when Amanda and John first started dating, when they moved in together, when john proposed, when she absolutely said yes, when we hiked all over for their engagement session, and even now… getting to finally see John’s reaction as Amanda and her father came down the aisle on their wedding day… it’s the best!

Their wedding has so many memorable parts to it: Their beautiful and emotional ceremony, Dave Ermak’s best man speech, that rubber horse head, photographing the 86 or so friends in their wedding party (who’s counting??) at the stunning Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, and the best part – witnessing john getting “Iced” by Amanda and all of their friends.

There’s so much more that could be said about John and Amanda, but let’s save that for a rainier day and get to looking at their beautiful wedding day below. Cheers!

It’s always so wonderful when two people truly enjoy their wedding day as much as these two do. Kaitlin and Matt spent it with great friends and loved ones every step of the way – from hair and makeup with the girls to dancing the night away with family. One incredibly special part of the day was when Kaitlin and her father did their very own first look. It’s so great seeing a bride and groom have an intimate moment during their first look, but we think it as even sweeter seeing the look on dad’s face as he turned to see his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.

Their ceremony was beautiful, their friends and family were a blast, and Kaitlin and Matt couldn’t have been any happier. Congrats you crazy kids!

Desiree and Matt’s wedding was filled with so many exciting moments. They started their day out exchanging gifts… (super nice ones at that), and then followed it up with an adorable, intimate first look on a private bridge overlooking a small waterfall. The next few hours were filled with laughter, tears, excitement, vodka shots with grandpa, dancing, photo booth fun, and delicious treats. What more would you need? Except maybe another “grandpa vodka shot!” (cue mic drop… boom)

What… an… awesome… day.

It was such a well planned fast paced day, yet there was so much time for the KJAD photo team to think creatively and be super artsy with one of steve’s new lenses, try different ideas for places we’ve been before, shoot in some new awesome locations, capture so many different details, and still have time to photograph joy and matt enjoying their best day ever. (check out the cake topper… it’s for real the best day ever!) Congrats to Joy and Matt and thanks for having us be a part of such an action packed day!!
