“There may be motorcycles, there will be cigars, …” Lisa and Joel makes us smile so hard. They celebrated their love for each other at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn, surrounded by spectacular views. The literally tied the knot at the Crestview Chapel at Ridgecrest, one of Stroudsmoor’s many ceremony locations on their grounds. It was also the first time we’ve ever seen hand cuffs incorporated into a wedding, and we think Lisa was pretty surprised, too. Lisa and Joel are one of those couples that you could tell are meant for each other by just being in their presence. We could tell that from the moment we met them for their engagement session. We hope you enjoy this look into their special day. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Nobody loves as hard as Dawn and John do. We were so happy to be a part of every special moment on their big day. Although each carefully planned out detail was breath-taking, the happy couple showed everyone throughout the day that most important things are their friends, family, and all of the love they have for each other. Dawn and John had one of the sweetest No Look First Looks in Montdale Country Club’s gazebo. They invited their closest friends and family to join them under the gazebo while Dawn’s son and brother shared a prayer before the ceremony. Then, to start the ceremony at the country club’s stunning grove, Dawn’s maid of honor handed John a note asking him to pay attention to the song that Dawn will be walking down the aisle to. John’s reaction to seeing Dawn at the top of the aisle and hearing her voice singing is everything. The newlyweds make it clear how important it is to appreciate what you have, love with all you’ve got, and always have a good time.

Congrats, John and Dawn!

KJAD ventured north to Upstate New York for Zoe and Brandon’s big day; Bonnie Castle Resort and Marina in Alexandria Bay, to be exact. The venue is located in the Thousand Islands Region right on the shore of the St. Lawrence River where we got to shoot some of the sweetest photos of the newlyweds. We all lucked out with a beautiful sunset (no rain, yay!), and ended their classic wedding day with a sparkler send off. We hope you enjoy this peek into their celebration!!

We had such a blast celebrating with Lindsey and Jeremiah on their warm, sweet, late summer’s wedding day. We even got to gallivant near our neck of the woods to snap some fun shots at Wilkes-Barre’s Riverfront before heading over to The Woodlands for celebratory dancing. We wish them all the happiness in the world, and we hope you enjoy a look into their big day!

Love, adoration, respect, and confidence are a few words that only just begin to describe the bond between Allie and Anthony. When these high school sweethearts discovered that they were each other’s person they formed a bong so strong that it could never be broken, a bond so strong that it will last lifetimes, and is supported beyond whole-heartedly by all of their friends and family. The happy couple have so much love and respect for all of their loved ones that they asked each and every guest to share a hopeful wish during their ceremony. Allie and Anthony, with the help of their wedding party, hung their wedding rings on a white twine that each guest held in their hands. While the couple were reciting their vows, they asked everyone to pass the rings to each other along the twine whilst sharing sweet, quiet well wishes. After the rings completed their journey, the couple sealed the deal with a kiss, and were showered with that celebratory rice. Everyone, including the cutest fuzzy ring bearer, danced well into the evening; and we mean danced, trumpets and all. What an amazing venue, what an amazing love story, what an amazing wedding day!! These memories and the well wishes riding upon their rings will always accompany Allie and Anthony as they continue their love story as Mr. and Mrs. Fanucci.

(Yes, that is an airhorn going off in your head. If wedding’s had theme noises, that would be Jackie and Dave’s.)

The KJAD Crew came in hot for Jackie and Dave’s wedding; 2 photographers, 2 coordinators, 1 intern, and all of our sweat. It was beyond muggy, but luckily the rain cleared up and held off for most of the day. We love coordinating and planning weddings so much, not only because it gives us an opportunity to really get to know amazing people like Jackie and Dave, but it allows us to help make wedding day dreams come true. The couple celebrated their love at one of our favorite venues, The Barn at Glistening Pond. They also chose the world’s best ring bearer ever. He ran faster than The Flash, showed the most support anyone has ever seen at a wedding via thumbs-ups and fist bumps, and most importantly kept the rings safer than safe.. even after they tried to run away on him. We got to hang out with some other cool people that day, too. Dan from Park Multimedia captured the day on video, Robb Brown provided beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour music, DJ Kenton of MCR Productions kept everyone dancing during the reception, and it’s always a pleasure to work with the Constantino’s Crew. Jackie and Dave had a such a heart warming wedding celebration, and we hope this look into their day puts a smile on your face, too.
