Hi, I’m Kiley, the heart behind the camera 🤍 I’m an outdoor lover, happiest chasing golden light, open landscapes, and those in-between moments that feel like magic. When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m a mom to two beautiful kids who inspire everything I do, they’ve shaped the way I see connection, emotion, and the little details that matter most. I’m adventurous, easygoing, and the kind of person who truly wears my heart on my sleeve. I believe the best photos come from real connection, so I make it a priority to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself.

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I'm a Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York Photographer from Scranton, Pa. I began my journey as a wedding musician, playing in countless bands in Pennsylvania. It wasn't until the birth of my son that I was thrust into the world of photography. As soon as I snapped my first photo of him, I found the beauty of photography. I quickly noticed the parallels between the music I create and the photos I was taking. The balance between light and dark, joy and sadness, bold and muted, energetic and relaxed intrigued me and drove me to this passion.

Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, he was prompt, honest, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, Eric was incredibly adaptable, embracing the unique elements we wanted to incorporate and seamlessly capturing all the special moments with a stunning, authentic, and timeless style. Eric and Becca had a fun, easygoing presence that made the experience truly enjoyable for us and our friends and family. We are obsessed with our photos, they feel like movie stills that can now allow us to relive that day for years to come. We cannot recommend Eric enough for any couple that wants raw, honest, and beautiful photos of their wedding day!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Hi, I’m Kelly 🤍 and I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. My goal isn’t just to take photos—it’s to document your day as it actually felt. The big moments, the quiet in-between ones, and everything you didn’t even realize was happening. I’m known for helping my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you think you’re awkward—I promise you’re not) Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a full-day celebration, I’ll help guide you through your timeline so nothing important is missed—while still leaving space for real, candid moments to unfold.

Kelly was super responsive which made communication easy right off the bat! We had an outdoor ceremony planned and really wanted sunset pictures but the weather had other plans. She worked wonderfully around all the changes and remained optimistic. We were lucky enough to have fog creep up that helped make for some awesome pics! Our sneak peaks came out beautifully so far and we can’t wait to see the rest! This was our first time being photographed professionally and Kelly made it painless. Would definitely recommend Kelly and we will use her in the future for any other little moments

I am a Jersey girl at heart (born and raised), but currently I am living in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Even though I am based in PA, I will travel anywhere your heart desires! I have been doing photography for years and it is a huge passion of mine. I love capturing people in their element and bringing their stories to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cassidy was amazing to work with and extremely professional. She is quick thinking and resourceful in a crisis - when the weather dipped below freezing for our wedding day she never lost her cool and organized the bridal party photos as efficiently as possible. Her work speaks for itself but I genuinely cannot say enough about the beautiful photos she took of myself and my husband. Due to her encouragement and posing directions, she captured so much detail and emotion despite the fact that we were both freezing. The communication with her was great throughout the whole process and after the wedding. I cannot recommend Cassidy highly enough and I would not hesitate to entrust her with your special day!

Lucid Memories Photography by Delycia 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Athens, PA

I’m a high energy self taught photographer, I started this beautiful journey 4 years ago. Lucid Memories Photography by Delycia has been published in about 15 portrait magazines and participated in countless collaborations with other great small businesses in my area. I fell in love with telling couples love stories so quickly! There was something about photographing two people in love and telling their story. I firmly believe your photos should show you and your partners personalities. There’s nothing better than being able to be comfortable, and act like yourself for those lifelong pictures!

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough words to describe the absolute icon that is Delycia. My husband and I initially reached out to her because she had photographed weddings at our original venue, and we were completely sold after looking through her portfolio. Her moody, emotional, and intimate photos were exactly what we envisioned. We are not “cookie-cutter” wedding photo people, and with every set of photos we reviewed, we found ourselves literally gasping. Our gut feeling was only reinforced once we started talking to her and getting to know her. Neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos taken, but our engagement shoot was so much fun. It felt like hanging out with a long-time friend, coupled with Delycia’s incredible ability to give just enough direction to create stunning photos while still capturing “us.” We couldn’t stop gushing about her afterward. When we had to drastically change our venue’s location, we were worried it would be too far for her. But Delycia, being the flexible and amazing human she is, happily agreed and continued to be our photographer without hesitation. The lead-up and preparation could not have gone smoother. Every check-in with Delycia turned into a 30-minute chat about life, wedding planning, and whatever came up that day. Our wedding day was absolutely chaotic—things started late, I got injured, and general mayhem ensued. But Delycia was there to navigate it all, ensuring we got the photos we wanted—and so much more. She even ushered us out of our reception to take couple photos that turned out to be the most incredible images of the entire evening, photos we will treasure forever. Delycia isn’t just a photographer; she’s a director, choreographer, personal hype-woman, and miracle worker. Not to mention, she sent us first-look photos during our wedding afterparty, delivered final digital edits within a month, and had our prints ready within two months! If I had to plan another wedding, Delycia at Lucid Memories would be the only person I’d trust with my photos. In fact, I’m already figuring out the next time I can work with her! She’s not just my photographer; she’s my friend for life!

If you’re reading this review, stop right here and book The Anthracite Center as your venue! Seriously, Ashley is the best person to work with—she answers emails quickly and concisely, always providing the perfect amount of detail to make the planning process smooth and stress-free. We received so many compliments on how AMAZING the food was for our wedding, and we felt the same way during our tasting. Ashley and the chef, who I believe is her husband, go above and beyond to ensure the food quality is exceptional. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the inside of the venue was! The building is absolutely stunning, and it provided the most gorgeous backdrop for our photos. One of my favorite moments was walking into the reception and seeing our family and friends all around the venue, especially upstairs on the second floor—it was such a cool, unique experience. The staff was incredibly helpful, and we are so grateful for their hard work. The pricing is also fantastic—it’s straightforward, includes so much, and is truly a great value for what you get. Even though we traveled from outside of Philadelphia, I’m originally from the Pittston area, and it was well worth the trip! I would absolutely book this venue again for future events if I’m having them in the area. We couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Bethany, the truly one-of-a-kind owner, went above and beyond from start to finish to ensure Rob and I had our absolute dream wedding. We thought it would just be “fun” to get married near our lake house, and we never expected the venue to feel this special to us! But it became so much more than we could have imagined. It beautifully combines rustic charm with modern touches and truly felt like the perfect mix of everything we wanted - almost as if it had been built just for us. The venue itself is perfect, but having Bethany with it makes the experience extraordinary. She made everything so easy and fun throughout the planning process up to the actual day. Bethany answered every single question with kindness, flexibility, and creativity, making sure no detail was overlooked. On the day itself, we felt completely at ease and able to soak in the pure bliss. Because of the gorgeous landscaping and size of the property, it feels like multiple venues in one. The spaces flow perfectly from ceremony to cocktail hour to dancing, giving every part of the day its own magic. Wildflower on Watts wowed every single one of our guests - they couldn’t stop raving about the stunning barn, the unique ceremony structure, and the way the flowers and natural surroundings created the most beautiful setting. Wildflower on Watts is simply our slice of heaven, and it was the most special backdrop to share with our closest people. If I could get married here a million times over, I would!!!

Your engagement and wedding images should exemplify who you are as a couple by being both playful and romantic. Creating an atmosphere that allows you to feel comfortable and beautiful while enjoying each moment is so important. These are more than just images, these are moments. Worried about posing or how you will look in the photo? Not to worry I will notice the awkward details and fix it before it becomes a problem. Aside from taking posed photos, I pay extra attention to candid shots, as well as the emotions from your special day! I want to be your biggest fan the day of your wedding.

Becca exceeded all my expectations for our wedding day, and I cannot recommend Becca enough. Planning a wedding is already stressful enough, and Becca made the experience on our wedding day so easy and comfortable. From the moment we reached out to her, she has been extremely communicative and ensured that all that was important for my husband and I would be captured. She made us feel at ease leading up to the wedding and the day of. Any concerns I may have had were put to rest. She has made the experience feel unique and even went as far as to make recommendations to make things easier for me. Becca is nothing short of stellar and is absolutely the best vendor I have ever hoped to work with. She was reliable, easygoing, sweet, and extremely professional. In addition, when we received the photos, I, the bride, was literally brought to tears. I was extremely nervous about how I would look in photos. However, I absolutely LOVED every photo I was in. She captured beauty in ways I didn’t even know was possible, and I am so incredibly grateful for having met and worked with Becca. For any couple who wants to make their day unique and special, I highly recommend hiring Becca! You will be so thankful that you have. We adore her and would hire her a million times over!

It’s hard to describe the feel of Wally Creek Farm until you’ve strolled through the fields to a creekside ceremony, stomped your feet to music in the barn or looked up to the star filled sky above the cow pastures.

We had a June wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The entire team is very attentive, professional, and make you feel like family. We had an unfortunate weather mishap and had a terrible downpour of rain just before our ceremony which meant we had to switch our ceremony to inside the barn instead of by the creek. I was so upset because they made it look so beautiful out there and I was really looking forward to our peaceful Creekside vows but Jessie handled everything so effortlessly and kept me at ease through the process. Everything went off without a hitch and to this day our guests all talk about how beautifully done everything was and how they really felt like it was very well put together. We stayed in the yurt on our wedding night and it was so peaceful and beautiful as well. We keep saying that we need to book it sometime so we can spend more time there. If you are thinking about booking your wedding here, do it. It is very well worth it. Maybe we will have a vow renewal one day here so I can do that by the Creek!

Candy Rose Events, Beauty Professional provided excellent services for my wedding day. Their communication style was direct, corporate, and thorough, while still remaining professional.

Emily executed our vision perfectly - she was dependable, brought great energy, and ensured everyone was satisfied. Her sweet demeanor was icing on the cake! I would happily recommend Candy Rose for your event styling needs. They excel at making your hair and makeup vision while sticking to schedules. Just be cognizant of their cancellation policy requiring 14 days notice, otherwise 50% fees apply. They follow the contract to a tee and changes 12 days before were NOT accommodated. They don’t contact your bridesmaids about this either so it is 100% up to the bride to communicate the cancelation policy to bridesmaids, which was not clear to me or my bridesmaids. Aside from that disappointment, working with Candy Rose was a dream. Their corporate approach kept us on track to celebrate in style.

We are so happy to have Dawcin for our wedding and look forward to having her do other future photo shoots for our family as well. I would recommend her to anyone :)

Gavin Esham Events 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Athens, PA

Gavin Esham is a Pennsylvania-based wedding and event planner who combines artistry, creativity, and organization to craft meaningful celebrations. With a background in opera, theater, and dance from Northwestern University, he spent years performing on stages across the world — from international venues to Broadway. That experience gave him a unique perspective on timing, flow, and the energy it takes to create unforgettable moments. After stepping away from the stage, Gavin was recruited into the world of events, where he discovered his passion for guiding couples and clients through the planning and design process

I don’t even know where to begin — working with Gavin for our destination wedding was an absolute dream come true! He made the entire planning process feel effortless, organized, and (dare I say) fun — even from thousands of miles away. Every detail, from coordinating with vendors to creating a seamless timeline, was handled with such professionalism and care. Gavin anticipated things I never would have thought of and made sure everything ran flawlessly on the big day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding turned out to be everything we imagined and more — stunning, joyful, and perfectly “us.” Guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was! If you’re considering hiring Gavin for your wedding — especially a destination celebration — don’t hesitate for a second. He is truly a magician in the world of weddings and made our dream day a reality.

Hello! We're Knot Just Any Day - an enthusiastic team of NEPA photographers, videographers, editors, designers, and planners that all take pride in archiving the story of your wedding. We look forward to learning more about you and your upcoming wedding day plans. Whether we're behind the camera capturing photos and video or behind the scenes making sure everything is going as planned, we're here to make sure your day is truly yours.

If you're looking for the best place to put your money to make sure your wedding photos are beautiful and your day goes flawlessly, you need to hire KJAD. We had them shoot our wedding and hired them as planners and could not be happier with how everything turned out. Photos are top-notch and noticeably higher quality than other vendors. Planners helped us pull everything together beforehand and made sure the day ran smoothly. Don't know how to tie a bow-tie? No worries, Steve's got you. Friend spills red wine on your wedding dress? All good, the team already has club soda and is ready to make sure it doesn't stain. Not sure how to bustle a dress? Again, easy day because KJAD knows. If KJAD is available for your day and you don't book them, you're wrong. Plain and simple.
