Nothing says ‘best fiancé ever’ like building your bride-to-be the wedding day archway of her dreams. Go Frank!! Erica and Frank celebrated their big day at the scenic Montdale Country Club. While the venue hosts stunning views and luscious greenery, Erica wanted a romantic archway filled with blooming florals at their ceremony. Frank found the perfect solution by hand crafting their very own, personalized archway to recite their vows under, and the rest is history! We hope you enjoy this peek into their day!! Congrats, Erica and Frank!!!

Elisa and Alexander’s romantic wedding day far surpassed any definition of heart felt elegance that we know. Skytop Lodge, the historical venue the couple chose for their big day, hosts endless breathtaking views and stunning backdrops. Speaking of stunning… Elisa in her dress by Eve of Milady.. we cannot get over it, nor do we want to. There were a lot of wedding day butterflies and fun anticipation in the beginning of the day, but as soon as Elisa and Alex saw each other during their first look a wave of ‘everything is right in the world’ crashed over everyone. All of us at the KJAD studio get emotional every single time we watch that scene. Check it out below along with a glimpse into the rest of their day!! Congrats to the newlyweds!!

“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!

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.

Meet The Masters! No, not the golf tournament, although we did spend some beautiful moments on the green at The Country Club of Scranton with The Masters; Adrienne and Justin. The most epic willow tree lives right in the middle of the course and proved to be quite an epic backdrop, as well. We were almost as blown away as Adrienne’s father when we saw her in her stunning dress by Hayley Paige. Adrienne and her father had one of the sweetest first looks; it warms our hearts. After tying the knot, the couple wowed everyone with a choreographed Waltz before their reception, and the dancing continued on well after that. We hope you enjoy their photos as much as we do. Congrats to The Masters!! Yay!

Yes, it is true what they say.. couples who hand stand together, stay together. That is what they say, right? The best man even began his heart-felt speech with the fun fact that Megan and E. J. love doing, you guessed it, hand stands together. Then the newlyweds proved it when they asked ever so sweetly if we can take a photo of E. J. in action (see below!). Throughout their special day it was easy to see that it wasn’t just the acrobatics keeping this couple together. We could tell how much the family and friends who surrounded Megan and E. J. love and support them. E. J.’s great uncle performed the most beautiful marriage ceremony, and they had the most expert flower girl with them every step of the way. We also got to celebrate their love at a venue we have never been to before, and it was incredibly gorgeous!! YAY! The Lodge at Mountain Springs Lake in Reeders, PA is filled with breath-taking backdrops, huge windows overlooking lush greenery, and plenty of space for… handstands. Sorry, we couldn’t contain ourselves there. Congrats to the happy couple! We hope you enjoy a glimpse into their wedding day!!

“Look Hughes getting married!” It’s Kathryn and Shawn Hughes. Get it? Eh? We are all about puns at KJAD, but that’s not the only reason why we loved being a part of the newlyweds’ big day. Kathryn and Shawn have some of the biggest hearts, and we could tell as soon as we met them. Their big day had us experiencing some ‘firsts’ in our wedding world. Instead of a guest book or signing your name onto a wooden heart, the couple had everyone sign a guest quilt. It must be the warmest quilt in the world with all of the love that everyone put into it. There was also a mariachi band that serenaded everyone before dinner that blew us away. They are welcome to come perform at the studio whenever they’d like to. Congrats to Kathryn and Shawn! What a beautiful wedding day!!

Dreams really do come true, and Ashley and Russ are living proof. We traveled to Philadelphia to celebrate their big day at the Philadelphia Quartett Club right around the corner from where we shot their engagement session. However, the happy couple traveled all the way from Kansas! That’s an extra destination wedding, and their family and friends were more than ecstatic. So much dancing, so much love; congrats to the newlyweds!!
