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!!!

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!!

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!!

 Geralyn and Lee had the most romantic, October wedding day without any rain!! We were ecstatic to be able to find some breathtaking, sunlit nooks and crannies between the green on Fox Hill’s golf course. We think Geralyn was even more excited to be able to drive the golf cart though. What better way to show your love than by letting your bride steer the cart while you step on the gas!? From Geralyn’s sweet prep shots to the smile on Lee’s face after saying ‘I Do’, we just can’t stop reminiscing over their special day! You’ll see what we mean..

Cheers to the newlyweds!!

Ain’t no party like a Haywood Party, ‘cuz everyone really knows how to break it down! Holy moly! After hanging out in Philadelphia with Maggie and Craig for their engagement shoot last year, we knew their wedding day was going to be epic, and epic it was!! Our favorite part of the day was getting to see these two amazing people tie the knot, hands down. However, it’s followed closely by everyone getting down with it on the dance floor at the newlyweds’ fun-filled Westmoreland Club reception! We still can’t get over Craig’s reaction to seeing Maggie walking down the aisle, nor do we ever want to. So sweet!! We hope you enjoy this peek into their big day! Congrats to the Haywood’s!!!

Another amazing wedding at none other than The Barn at Glistening Pond! We fall a little more in love with this venue every time we visit. This time we got to celebrate Lyndsey and Alex’s big day complete with fire blowing from The Jeffrey James Band, a Tom Petty appearance, and the sweetest no-look first look! Right before their ‘I do’s’, Lyndsey and Alex stood on opposite sides of the ceremony barn’s gorgeous sliding doors to hear each other’s voices. Quiet, intimate moments like this are always a great way to slow down and take your special day in before entering full-blown celebration mode (and a great way to watch the KJAD crew’s eyes swell up a bit if you’re looking for a good laugh). You can check out their no-look first look below, and the fire blowing also, of course!! Cheers to the newlyweds!!
