Cheers to The Broms!! Beth and Sean’s story starts when they were both part of the production of Guys and Dolls at their alma mater, King’s College. “The rest is history,” says Beth. Naturally, we had to expect some stellar performances on their big day. During Beth and Sean’s beautiful ceremony, Beth’s brother and sister-in-law sang “One Hand, One Heart” from West Side Story. The celebration continued at none other than The Woodlands; the same place Beth’s parents held their reception when they were married. Beth and Sean even reenacted the same pose at the same location of one of their favorite photos from Beth’s parents’ wedding album. Sean and his mom shared an epic mother-son dance covering nearly every inch of the dance floor, and Beth’s dad sang his rendition of Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight” during their father-daughter dance. We have to admit, it melted our hearts. Beth’s junior bridesmaid even accompanied their band, Class Act Band, and everyone on the dance floor went crazy! From Beth’s perfect dress designed by Justin Alexander and their super romantic centerpieces by Robin Hill Florist to all of the awesome dance floor moves and sweet moments, these photos will have us smiling for a long time to come! It was also the first time we got to put our Mag Mod equipment to use, and we are in love with Beth and Sean’s sunset photos. We hope you love them as much as we do!!

Congratulations again to the newlyweds!

We’ve been through a lot with Sara and Joe; designing stationary, meeting after meeting, that one time Joe accidentally glued some invitations to a few envelopes that we will now refer to as The Great Glue Stick Incident of 2019.. After all of that, we’re so glad that we could add watching these two say ‘I Do’ to the list! Their whole day, from lake side prep to their Westmoreland Club sparkler sendoff, was filled with so much love from their family and friends. We are absolutely in awe over their color palette, the epic greenery that decorated their reception, and the sheer epic-ness of everyone (especially Joe who was able to obtain a microphone from the amazing Uptown Band) breaking it down on the dance floor. There was so much energy during their reception that Sara and Joe were even lifted into the air at one point! We hope you enjoy this look into their day as much as we do!

Congrats to the Collini’s!

Jess and Tom; they make our hearts melt! Everyone who was a part of Jess and Tom’s special day gets all of the gold stars! Mother Nature helped us out by holding back the rain and Jess and Tom had their guests throw the most enviromentally conscious (and best smelling, says Jess) confetti – lavender – after their beautiful ceremony. Jess found the best deal on her absolutely perfect dress at The Darling Dress (if you are reading this now and are in need of a dress go check out The Darling Dress; this is the last day of their mega sale!) and The Woodlands was 100% gorgeous thanks to a little help from The Party Peeps! Everyone’s expressions throughout the entire day, from Jess and Tom’s first look to Jess and her Dad’s father-daughter dance, have us all at the studio beaming from ear to ear. Here’s to the sweetest family that is now a little bigger, to the sweetest wedding day, and to the sweetest newlyweds!

Congratulations, Jess and Tom!!

bonus sidenote: Tom gets the most gold stars for winning the Dollar Dance despite not knowing the “rules”. For those of you who also don’t know about the Dollar Dance, a Polish wedding tradition, guests will usually give a dollar bill to the bride’s sister or maid of honor in order to have a turn to dance with the bride. After the bride’s father dances with her, all of the wedding guests form a circle around the bride in order to keep the groom out. The groom must break his way into the circle to his bride. Tom has never heard of this tradition up until right when it was happening during their reception when he marched right in and lifted Jess into the air. Tom takes Dollar Dance 2019. Bravo!

Aime and Shayne celebrated their special day at Scranton’s very own Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, and it was beyond beautiful! We cannot get enough of the details on Aime’s dress!! She even rocked a sixpence in her shoe for good luck, paying homage to the lesser known ending of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe”. Aime and Shayne’s special day was filled with live entertainment. It is tradition for the bag piper in Aime’s family to play at special occasions; he greeted guests outside of The Radisson before the ceremony and played inside after the I Do’s, too! Silver and Ivory, a flute and piano duo, performed during the ceremony while Aime’s brother’s girlfriend, Jamie Straw, did an amazing live painting that Aime even used for her thank you cards! You can check it out below!! We wish Aime and Shayne all of the congratulations, and we hope you enjoy this glimpse into their big day!

We could tell how much Melissa and Greg love each other just by seeing the way they look mat each other. Their wedding day was filled with laughter, mostly thanks to Greg’s best man, Curt, who considers himself Greg’s “doppelgänger twin brother”, and heartfelt hugs thanks to Melissa’s maid of honor, Jess, who is actually Melissa’s amazing twin sister! (Sorry, Curt.. can’t beat that!) As Melissa’s sister shared in her speech, she has always been asked if she could feel “that twin thing”, and has always answered with a ‘no’. However, during Melissa and Greg’s ceremony, Melissa’s sister said she felt those exact same butterflies that Melissa felt. We think we felt a few of those butterflies, too.

Cheers to The Atherholts!!

Sweet, sweet Sam and Logan. We love them dearly. Their wedding day was every little of bit of who they are and absolutely perfect. They had a small ceremony at the historic Hayfield House on Penn State’s Wilkes-Barre campus filled with close family, friends, high fives, and the best facial expressions! After the ceremony we explored the campus during the wedding party photos. However, one of the groomsmen decided to take a break, so Sam and Logan recruited one of their friends to be a ‘stand-in’ groomsman… a pinch hitter groomsman who happened to be in a Hawaiian shirt, if you will. If you should ever find yourself missing a groomsman at your wedding, we highly recommend Sam and Logan’s tropical friend; his stand in skills are impeccable. The couple held their post ceremony celebration at Fire & Ice on Toby Creek. The food was incredibly delicious, and their cake by the very talented Electric City Bakehouse was stunning and scrumptious! Sam and Logan both agreed that for their wedding day they “literally wanted to get married and then get dinner, and [they] did just that.”

Congratulations to The Shooks!!

What an epically romantic wedding day! Karlie and Jeff’s celebration was filled with sunshine, soft colors, and a whole lotta love! The couple chose to hold their ceremony in their alma mater’s chapel, The University of Scranton’s Madonna Della Strada Chapel. We were able to get such gorgeous shots while we wandered around campus after the ceremony, too!! From the baby’s breath accents in Karlie’s bridesmaids’ hair to the way Karlie and Jeff looked at each other during their first dance as newlyweds, everyone was swooning the whole day! However, we think our favorite detail has to be Karlie’s great grandmother’s ingenuity when it came to decking out her walking frame!! What an incredible idea! We hope you enjoy this glimpse into Karlie and Jeff’s special day.

Congrats to the newlyweds!

The KJAD Crew was looking so forward to Shannon and Greg’s wedding after getting to know the couple at their engagement session in Lancaster earlier this year. Their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Everyone was able to take in each part of the day to enjoy it to the fullest from prep to the packed dance floor. We always love the beginning moments of the day during prep when there’s a heightened sense of excitement for what’s to come; marrying your best friend!! We have to admit, we’re a little jealous of Shannon’s gift to Greg. That Ghostbusters Lego Set looks awesome! We are also really grateful that the rain held off after the ceremony to give us some time to explore The University of Scranton’s beautiful campus. There are so many incredible, dreamy shots of the newlyweds under all of the cherry blossom trees; we think all of them are our favorites!

All of our congratulations to Shannon and Greg!!
