We just love traveling to fun locations for our engagement sessions. #havecameraswilltravel… and being able to shoot in spots that we normally wouldn’t get a chance to for weddings, is super exciting for all of us. Especially when it’s the Philadelphia Museum of Art and downtown Philly/Love Park. Nicole, Peter and their dog, Winston, had a gorgeous day for their shoot. Although I think that all of the walking around may have been too much for Winston… he toughed it out nicely. : )

P.S. check out Nicole’s rocky pose, and more importantly, the photo bombing grandpa in the background on the next shot. #thatjusthappened. Ok, now i am going to have to watch ROCKY again. Later!

oh, the details!! no seriously, stop reading and scroll down to see their bridesmaids dresses design by Ted Baker… they are so awesome!!

… welcome back.

Nicole and Peter’s super classy, Radisson Lackawanna Station wedding was as beautiful as it was a good time. Ever part of their day was carefully hand picked, (or even hand-made by Peter’s mom… great job BTW!) and made to exactly what they had hoped for. From the gorgeous dresses and accessories, stunning flowers, and slick suits, to their picturesque first look, everything just felt right… like you knew it was without question, their day. But most importantly, guess who stole the show? … that’s right… Winston. He was back at it again, but this time he was dressed to impress. Check out his appearance at their engagement session at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Nicole and Peter decided to do their first look at the greenhouse located near the Rose Garden at the University of Scranton. This location was within walking distance from the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton, where their wedding ceremony and reception were being held. The greenhouse was such a perfect backdrop for this intimate part of their day. After their first look, we were able to photograph their wedding party, shots of the happy couple, and even a few family shots, all before they tied the knot.

Thanks to Nicole and Peter for having us be a part of there wedding. We had such a great time and we hope you enjoy their photos as much as we do.

Coney freakin’ Island. Boom!! What now engagement sessions?!?

Can you tell how excited we still are about getting to shoot here? We were so happy when Nikki and Mike asked us to meet them at the colorful Coney Island. And we were even more excited when they were totally cool with getting on a few rides with us!! (Just don’t look down when you are on the big swings.) This may be one of the coolest locations for an engagement session… with so much to do, from playing carnival games and riding the rides, to hanging out on the boardwalk and beach.

So if you think you are interested in an engagement session with us, don’t forget that we like fun places too. #havecameraswilltravel

We spent so much time running all over Coney Island and the pier taking so many great shots (*fun fact –  they filmed a part of Requiem for a Dream on this pier) that we worked up quite an appetite. We didn’t stop over to Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, but landed ourselves in this awesome restaurant called Lock Yard… which just happened to have the BEST DOGS EVER. (sorry nathan’s) Seriously, stop what you are doing and head there now. They even have vegetarian dog options… ©Amanda Dittmar approved.

Anyway back to this wonderful couple. Nikki and Mike just nailed it that day. We always say, it’s so nice to photograph people who truly care about each other… and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Need more of these two crazy kids?!.. check out there wedding day here

Holy lots of photos, batman. Nikki and Mike are back at it again with another installment of awesomeness. This time they decided to lose the rides and coney island dogs, and replace them with the stunning Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel and a super yummy wedding cake. For this wedding Knot Just Any Day took care of photography, videography, wedding coordination and some custom stationery/signage. Being able to help plan, organize, and execute their day made everything run so smoothly. Our coordination team of Bridget and Lauren worked with their vendors, picked favors, organized their timeline, assisted at their rehearsal, and worked seamlessly with the Radisson’s on-site team, for their big wedding day. Helping them get all of their ducks in a row, made their day run on time and without any stress.

Nikki and Mike’s wedding day was classy, sweet, and full of so many exciting emotions. One specific darling moment was getting to hear them say their handwritten vows to each other … which made all of us tear up instantly (thankfully we have our cameras to hide behind!!) Or getting to see Nikki’s reaction to hearing that her father recorded himself singing their father daughter dance song. He even took vocal lessons… too much!!  But on the flip side of those cherished, heart-string-pulling moments, was the constant uproar of laughter and cheers from everyone. I mean, whose dad kills it on the dance floor, for the song “Turn Down for What?!” Mr. Nulton… that’s who.

It’s the first wedding of 2015… and it was the perfect way to start the new year!! Noelle and Ryan had such a beautiful wedding day. So many details along with such a beautiful venue. The grounds of Stone Hedge Gold Club are just spectacular. And even more enjoyable was the wonderful wedding couple. That day they laughed, they cried, they danced, and they partied… oh, and Noelle even zoned out during the ceremony, but for just a split second (“pssst … that’s your line.”)… which lead to even more laughing. : )  Point being, we all had such a great time.

They took the time to plan out their day so that they would be able to enjoy it to the fullest. There was just the right amount of time for us to capture their details and the two of them just getting to be themselves, as husband and wife. We hope you love their beautiful day as much as we all did. Enjoy!
