Counting down to the New Year is always filled with so much energy and excitement. Counting down to the New Year at a wedding multiplies that excitement times a million. Counting down to the New Year at Mariah and Ryan’s classy winter wedding put that excitement through the roof! Woo! Unlike the couple’s sunny, snowy engagement session, there was no white stuff on the ground for their big day. There was, however, the chilliest rain that helped us capture some incredible shots of the newlyweds outside of Scranton Prep, the high school where they first met! Oh!.. Let’s not forget about the coolest celebrity appearance.. Dillon got to play the most important role of Dog of Honor!! We hope you enjoy this look into Mariah and Ryan’s best day ever!! Congrats to the newlyweds!!!

Caila and Robert are getting married!! YAY! The couple invited us up to their neck of the woods to spend the day in Central Park for their engagement session. We made a quick pitstop at Lincoln Center before exploring all of the gorgeous nooks and crannies that the park has to offer, including the iconic Tavern on the Green. We cannot wait to celebrate their big day!! Congrats, Caila and Robert!!

Sarah, Peter, The Radisson Lackawanna Station, and all of the feels. There wasn’t a face not beaming, laughing, or crying at the start of Sarah and Peter’s ceremony that was officiated by Sarah’s own uncle. We love seeing family members perform wedding ceremonies; it always makes for such a personalized and special wedding. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into their big day!!

 Planning a wedding in the upcoming year? Have you had a wedding in the past year and don’t have any idea what to do with all of your decor? Need ideas on what kind of prints to order? Maybe you want to share your planning story or experience with KJAD in hopes that it will help out a bride-to-be? Of course you’re all nodding your head yes! That’s why we’ve decided to create a Facebook group about it!!

 Welcome to Knot Just Any Day’s ultimate wedding advice group! THE KJAD Crew thought it would be great to have an encouraging, inspiring, and fun forum where we can all share tips, ideas, and first hand accounts for any pre or post wedding questions you may have. Everything from DIY decor to wedding favors, insurance policies to cakes, dress shopping to seating charts… doesn’t have to be as hectic as everyone makes it out to be. We are firm believers that every step leading up to and following your wedding day should be enjoyed just as much as your unique love story itself.

Not only will this group offer a helping hand for weddings, we plan on sharing KJAD updates, reminders for all of you planners, and a head’s up for upcoming sales and photo sessions. Thanks for joining us; we are here for you, and we can’t wait for everyone to have the best day ever!!

Alright, let’s get to some planning..

Any opprotunity we get to be inside of the glorious F. M. Kirby Center, we definitely take advantage of. We met up with Beth and Sean for their engagement session and wandered around the King’s College Campus before venturing over to the Kirby Center. How great is it to have such amazing areas with so much character right in our backyard!! We are very much looking forward to celebrating Beth and Sean’s wedding day with them next year!! Congrats again!

Jacki and Kevin’s Wedding!! MEGA YAAAYYY!! We were counting down the days to their wedding even before we got to hang out for their amazing engagement session. The happy couple celebrated their special day at NEPA’s newest wedding venue; The Room at 900 in Forty Fort. The venue is also the newest addition to the wonderfully whimsical 900 Rutter Ave. building which is the perfect setting to capture the coolest photos. Aside from being blown away by both Jacki’s gorgeous dress by Anne Barge and Kevin’s super sweet reaction during their first look, we were so incredibly excited to see photos from their engagement session displayed on the venue’s massive video wall. We wish the newlyweds all the best!!

2018; the year that it rained every single day.. or at least it seemed that way. However, we didn’t let that stop us, especially for HanaRae and Brad’s wedding. Besides, rain is good luck on your big day. We cannot get over Hanarae’s adorable shoes by TOMS or the epic umbrellas that the wedding party was equipped with. We celebrated at the Irem Clubhouse, and while we were able to sneak a few photos outside, the rain helped us scope out some sweet nooks and crannies inside with the coolest wallpaper. Congrats to the newlyweds!!

Yay, Kristyn and Gary! They decided to celebrate their wedding day at Constantino’s gorgeous venue, but not without making a pit stop at the Electric City Trolley Museum first for some shots of the wedding party! Woop, woop! Or should we say, Clang, clang!?! From Kristyn’s epic ride to the ceremony and the bridal party’s bouquets of roses to most adorable ring security, we absolutely love every detail from the couple’s special day. We hope you do, too!!
