The Barn At Glistening Pond | Pennsylvania Summer Wedding

Each of us here at Knot Just Any Day consider ourselves “archivists” at our core. Whether we arrive at your wedding as photographers, videographers, or both we look to capture, document, and preserve the entire day timelessly with the utmost respect and care. Not only is this our guiding principle, but it pushes us to get better, it motivates us as artists and storytellers, and it grants us the privilege of great relationships with all of our wedding couples. Our first meeting with Ilissa and St. John always sticks out as a prime example of that immediate “click” when they approached us about their summer wedding at the Barn at Glistening Pond.

Sitting down with them for the first time it was apparent how dedicated they were to everything in their lives and each other. These two hardworking movie lovers with an appreciation for family, faith, and friends expressed all the things important to them, from where they had their first date to the elements they were planning for their wedding day. After a great conversation at our studio, they booked us as their Wedding Photographer and Wedding Videographer for their summer wedding at The Church of St. Gregory in Clarks Summit, PA, and The Barn at Glistening Pond in Falls, PA.

Their wedding day was truly “them” to its absolute core. The moments at their respective bride and groom preps were delicate, raw, and emotional. Followed by a service rooted in faith that though they were surrounded by their loved ones, they still found the intimate moments to share a loving stare or crack an adoring smile. Their time together afterward was loving and romantic, and after all the formalities were said and done, the party was BUMPIN’.

“Do you remember when we were strangers…?”

Rebecca and Phil celebrated their beautiful traditional wedding at The Radisson in Scranton, PA in December of 2022. Their ceremony, where Rebecca posed the question above, took place in the Radisson’s Lobby in front of a floral-clad Hexagon. This was also the design theme of their wedding, in homage to Phil’s love of Organic Chemistry. Phil noted in his vows the importance of the hexagonal molecule Benzene for its stability, “as its component parts come together in a favorable way…in the right orientation, in the right space, and with the right energy” and how it represents his loving relationship with Rebecca. 

As the evening turned to night, loving moments, heartfelt speeches, and support from their friends and family set the tone for the reception.   

We won’t reveal too much more, but we’ll leave you with the second part of Rebecca’s question. 

“…but I’m also asking you to remember so much more; the complete montage of our relationship.” 

-Rebecca

WEDDING SONG

Westmoreland Club, Wilkes-Barre, PA

We’re so excited to share our favorite photos from Scott & John’s Westmoreland Club Wedding!! Steve & Nick spent the day with them from Groom Prep at their home through their reception. They captured quiet moments of them in their home, photos with their beloved Saint Bernard, their marriage certificate signing, a quick classy photo shoot in the Westmoreland Club’s Terrace Room turned Speakeasy with a pair of cocktails, and lots, lots more.

Their wedding day was truly remarkable, from the people around them to how they planned the day and the aesthetic. You could feel the love and care the families and guests have for them, and the camaraderie that tethered the grooms to their groomsmen (and vice versa) was tangible. The day was also filled with fun and lightheartedness. Officiant, Dave, kept things both touching and gleeful. Not to mention, Scott and his mom, Ruthie, broke it down to “The Twist,” and smiles and good times filled the Westmoreland Club during their reception.

Some of our favorite photos came from our time with them in the Terrace Room at the Westmoreland Club, where they took the classic Georgian look of the venue and turned it into a contemporary speakeasy.

On a joyful day filled with love, kindness, support, and fun, we can’t thank these two enough for having us create, capture, and archive such an important day in their lives.

District Winery, Washington DC

over the 2021 holiday season, we received one of the highest compliments we can get as artists in our industry: Kaitlyn reached out to us via email to express how meaningful her sister Kara’s Wedding Film was to her and their family, and asked us to capture her wedding day with Ryan just a few short months later at District Winery in Washington DC. so, in early spring of this year stephen and stay from our crew arrived in D.C., met with familiar faces, and prepared to tell the story of another Maloney Family milestone!

it’s been such an incredible honor to have the opportunity to archive and create at every turn for this wonderful family, and we are so grateful for the responsibility.

P.S. you can also see Kara & Rob’s Wedding Film here after you watch Kaitlyn & Ryan’s! https://youtu.be/PEWLWnFgKrM

The Banks, Pittston, PA

The Pandemic affected so many 2020 weddings, and Mia & Sam were no different – even though their wedding date was initially set for the last day of the year, New Year’s Eve. Though we had to wait just a few extra months to celebrate, and we were ringing in the summer of 2021 instead of the new year, they still partied at The Banks in Pittston like it was 1999…er…2021, complete with champagne, confetti, backflips and a whole KJAD crew of photographers and videographers to capture all best moments.

Hilton Scranton & Conference Center

It’s always exciting getting the opportunity to work with families we have worked with before. Just about 4 years ago we were photographing (and recording) Alyssa, Ashley’s sister, and Karl’s wedding at the Hilton, and are so appreciative to know that they enjoyed what we captured so much that Ashley and Bernie asked us to do the same.

This was a BIG, well overdue party with their family, friends, and loved ones which made the Hilton in Scranton a perfect venue for them. The Hilton is a great option if your guest list is growing and growing, nearing upwards of 250-300+ people and is right on Scranton’s Courthouse Square where we did their Bridal Party and Mr + Mrs photos making it a great central location for your day. It’s also a great place for your sister to tell the DJ to drop a beat so she can throw a few verses down and remix The Fresh Prince Theme Song to end her Matron-of-Honor speech. 😉

We can’t thank Ashley, Bernie, and their little one enough for having KJAD be a part of their day!! Cheers!

Edgewood In The Pines, Drums, PA

Our first wedding of the season at Edgewood in the Pines was one we looked forward to celebrating with Melissa & Cody all through 2020. After they navigated how the year would affect their wedding, we were there to capture what was initially planned to be a September autumn celebration and became a beautiful day in May. They are truly wonderful people and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to photograph such a monumental day in their life together.

This day was especially close to the KJAD crew as Todd is a former student of Steve’s from Wilkes University, where he & Alysa met through mutual friends. Two years later, Todd would propose during a private meet & greet with Rapunzel, which brought us all together here at their beautiful Disney Inspired Wedding at the Sand Springs Country Club in Drums. From the details (that hairpiece!!), a heartwarming first look with dad, a smiley Todd watching Alysa come down the aisle, and a magical first dance, to the happiest inspired decor on earth, their wedding day was truly something special. We are so appreciative to have had the opportunity to capture these moments and memories. Cheers to Alysa + Todd!
