Two Sticks Studios – Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Poconos Wedding Photographers » Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Poconos Wedding Photography, Senior Photography and Portrait Photography

Our journey with Steve and Michelle has gone through Scranton, to New Jersey to outside of Bethlehem. Along the way we have crossed streams, hiked miles through the woods, shared restaurant recommendations and been bitten by ticks. We’ve also developed a friendship and even managed to squeeze in a wedding. I wouldn’t trade a moment of it … well maybe the tick bite Michelle got – sorry!

Anyway all of it culminated at their Woodstone Country Club wedding surrounded by friends and family. What an amazing time! We spent the entire day at Woodstone, getting ready, doing their first look, the ceremony and then the giant party afterward. It would be hard to imagine a cooler day. We even had a chance to do some portraits in the bridal suite after the first look. It was such a unique day and it’s not one Bob and I will soon forget. Thanks to Michelle and Steve for making it so special and for inviting us along for the ride.

Oh, I almost forgot Michelle. I was thinking of you the other night when after a shoot I got home and had to pull a tick out of my leg. We’re like tick buddies now, too!

I think it’s time to catch up a little on our blog posts. The last couple of months have been crazy with weddings and engagements and seniors and everything else you can imagine. In other words, it’s the best time of year, except blog posts have suffered a little. Well it’s time to put an end to that with Michele and Kelvin. If you ever meet a couple that smiles and laughs more often than these two I’d like to meet them. We just love them and their day was incredible. Id’ like to narrow it down to a couple of highlights, but jeez, I’m not really sure that’s all that easy to do, but the butterfly release after the ceremony was absolutely one of them.  Either way, it’s probably just easier to let the photos tell the story better than I can anyway.

A couple of weeks ago Bob and I did some engagement photos for our new friends Sarah and Scott.  And we did them at a familiar location – Lake Scranton. To me it’s always a challenge to do photos  at a place so recognizable. I think there is a real danger of being colored by other work you have seen there. Because let’s face it, Lake Scranton is a place where a lot of photos are done. But that’s also the challenge, and one we love. It’s a blast to go to a place you know and find different ways to see it, to find different spots off the beaten path and to produce images that are really different from ones you’ve seen before. It also doesn’t hurt when your couple is willing to do a little bushwhacking to get off the beaten path.

And Sarah and Scott were up for anything and everything. So we spent a couple of hours, bouncing around the paths  – some that were there – and some that we created. We think we found some cool stuff and with Sarah and Scott and their enthusiasm it was a great day at the lake. But it also didn’t end there. We then headed down to Steamtown around sunset  – and a little past sunset  – to take a crack at some photos there. Their photos are some of my favorites. It was great hanging out with our new friends and some familiar places laughing and creating some photos we hope they love.

Enjoy. And thank you for reading.
