Vasconcelos Wedding

As a wedding photographer, Marisa and Katy's wedding at the Waldorf in Scranton was an unforgettable experience, especially starting with the first look at Lake Scranton. The lake, where the couple had gotten engaged, added a sentimental layer to the moment. The serene water and lush greenery provided an intimate and peaceful backdrop for the couple to see each other for the first time on their wedding day. Capturing their reactions, the laughter, and the love between them as they stood by the lake was an emotional and beautiful way to kick off the day.

The ceremony and reception at the Waldorf were equally stunning, held in an outdoor setting that overlooked Scranton.

The views from the venue, with the city sprawling below and the surrounding landscape creating a perfect frame, made for a dramatic and breathtaking backdrop as the couple exchanged vows. The reception that followed carried the same elegance, with guests celebrating under the open sky, surrounded by the city’s lights twinkling in the distance. Photographing both the ceremony and reception, I was able to capture not only the grandeur of the location but also the personal, tender moments that made this day so special. From quiet moments during the ceremony to the laughter-filled celebration afterward, it was an honor to document this couple’s love story in such a stunning, meaningful setting.
