The Barn At Glistening Pond | Pennsylvania Summer Wedding

Each of us here at Knot Just Any Day consider ourselves “archivists” at our core. Whether we arrive at your wedding as photographers, videographers, or both we look to capture, document, and preserve the entire day timelessly with the utmost respect and care. Not only is this our guiding principle, but it pushes us to get better, it motivates us as artists and storytellers, and it grants us the privilege of great relationships with all of our wedding couples. Our first meeting with Ilissa and St. John always sticks out as a prime example of that immediate “click” when they approached us about their summer wedding at the Barn at Glistening Pond.

Sitting down with them for the first time it was apparent how dedicated they were to everything in their lives and each other. These two hardworking movie lovers with an appreciation for family, faith, and friends expressed all the things important to them, from where they had their first date to the elements they were planning for their wedding day. After a great conversation at our studio, they booked us as their Wedding Photographer and Wedding Videographer for their summer wedding at The Church of St. Gregory in Clarks Summit, PA, and The Barn at Glistening Pond in Falls, PA.

Their wedding day was truly “them” to its absolute core. The moments at their respective bride and groom preps were delicate, raw, and emotional. Followed by a service rooted in faith that though they were surrounded by their loved ones, they still found the intimate moments to share a loving stare or crack an adoring smile. Their time together afterward was loving and romantic, and after all the formalities were said and done, the party was BUMPIN’.
