“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

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!

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!

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!!!

Another beautiful day in Scranton; our home away from home! Usually our parents pass down wedding accessories or attire to us, but this time Teresa’s parents passed down the church in which they got married. Both couples walked down the same aisle at Holy Cross Church. They even have a photo for proof down below. So cool! After the ceremony we got to sneak in a couple of gorgeous shots at Lake Scranton before the most romantic of light drizzles started to fall. We absolutely adore the photo of the newlyweds underneath their umbrella on Downtown Scranton’s Square. Turns out the happy couple also have some fancy footwork skills and surprised us all with a beautiful first dance (that dip!). Here’s a peek into their special day.

Who needs rain on their wedding day when you’ve got the Luck ‘o’ the Irish? Or should we say #luckofthecaseys.. We spent St. Paddy’s Day this year at The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel to celebrate Megan and Kieran’s big day. Everywhere we looked there was an elegant pop of that lucky green. Megan even rocked the coolest green velvet shoes with her stunning dress. We can’t speak for the grass or trees though; it was a bit chilly and snow covered when we made a pit stop at McDade Park, but beautiful nonetheless. Luckily for us, the sun was out while we captured and celebrated the wedding of Megan and Kieran. Sláinte!

First Wedding of 2018!! Fireworks and applause and magic and, and everything awesome in the world combined into one! Woo! We get really excited to start off a new wedding season, especially with a home court advantage! We got to spend the whole day with Casey and Matt at The Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, and thank goodness because it rained.. a lot! You know what they say.. and we could definitely tell how lucky they felt to have each other in their lives. Casey and Matt’s first look was one of the sweetest that we’ve ever had the pleasure of sharing with newlyweds to be. We love first looks so much because it’s a quiet, exciting moment for the bride and groom to just slow down and be alone with each other in the midst of such a huge day. It’s one of those extra special memories that they’ll always have to look back on and smile.. and maybe even shed a tear of joy. Let’s just say it got a little emotional… yay, Matt!!
We hope you enjoy a look into their special day as much as we loved being a part of it.
