“Ain’t no party (wedding) like a Crystal and Jesse party (wedding)”… or better yet, “go big or go home”… either way, 22 of your best friends and family makes for one amazing time. Their wedding party was definitely one to remember in such a great way. We quickly got the day off to a great start with their street corner first look. As we set up everyone, we found out last minute that Jesse decided he would still love to wait to see his bride to be at their wedding ceremony. So, the fellas blindfolded him and we were on our way!

They decided to have their wedding at the classic Luzerne County Courthouse in the main hall. It’s such a stunning backdrop for a wedding. And just like Jesse wanted, he was able to see Crystal for the first time walk down the steps inside of the courthouse. Well worth the wait.

Photos in and around the courthouse and then a quick trip from downtown Wilkes-Barre to Sand Springs Golf Club in Drums, Pa. We ran around taking photos all over the golf course and then quickly got everyone back to the party. And party they did.

This space before the photo section of a wedding blog is dedicated to letting you all know how wonderful Knot Just Any Day’s clients are and how we think the world of them and their awesome weddings. We will get to that for Nicole and Travis… but first you must learn of the day Steve destroyed his knee, dress pants, part of his camera, and a whole lotta gauze.

So, picture this.. The scene is Nicole and Travis’ wedding day. We find ourselves at the John James Audubon Center, and it happens to be raining ever so slightly. The ground is wet, the greenery is vibrant, and our umbrellas are out in full force. Nicole’s mom drops her off at the site of their first look, which had to be changed because of some last minute construction on one of the historic buildings on site. Not knowing that this was the case, Nicole mentions to Steve that she had wished that the their first look could have taken place on the front porch of the building. Being roped off by construction tape, Steve recommends that their first look be held out on the grounds near the building, so at least it would be in the background of their photos. Feeling awful about the unfortunate last minute switch, Steve decides to try and save the day by investigating. Don’t ever let Steve investigate. We repeat, don’t ever let Steve investigate. Anyways, Steve darts off with such enthusiasm and speed, and fails to notice the corner of the concrete foundation sticking up a bit just waiting there for his big, dumb feet to trip over it. Armed with two cameras, dress pants, his trusty Chucks, and his overwhelming need to make things just perfect, Steve clips the corner of the foundation and crashed his body, cameras, Chucks, and dress pants down onto the rough concrete and cinders. As if unfazed by his fall, Steve rises to find scuffed cameras and knuckles, ripped dress pants, and a super banged up, swollen, and bloody…did we mention bloody… right knee.

With the help of Nicole and Travis’ family and a whole pile of gauze, Steve was bandaged up and ready for another day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting Humpty back together. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as Steve enjoyed the support of the family and friends of the truly awesome Nicole and Travis.

P.S. Steve eventually made it onto the porch and they all lived happily ever after.

Cookies? Yes. Homemade cookies!? YES, PLEASE, ABSOLUTELY!! Seeing traditions true to our Pennsylvanian Home-state, like this newlywed’s cookie table, is beyond awesome. Our PA sky was as equally awesome for the whole day. Stone Hedge Country Club’s wide open fields really gave us a chance to take a step back and appreciate the scenery. It also proved to be the perfect vantage point for the awe-inspiring storm that joined us for the reception. They say rain is good luck on your wedding; but we’re pretty sure lightning is where it’s at. Congratulations, Jamie & Jonathan!
