A few months back I was contacted by my friend and colleague Kristy Rice from Momental Designs here in NEPA to photograph a few tablescape ideas that had been rolling around in her head for the better part of a year. Living here in NEPA can be tough when trying to collaborate with other wedding vendors in the area. NEPA seems to be 10 years behind everything around here. I met Kristy about a year ago when she contacted me to get some pictures for her website and immediately found a kindred spirit of sorts. Kristy introduced me to Dorian Butovich from Central Park Flowers here in Scranton and we ended up designing two tablescape sessions of which I am sharing one of today. Those of you who follow my blog may have seen the ridiculously awesome designs he comes up with. If you haven’t seen his work you can see some of it by clicking here on my blog.

This morning I was made aware that these pictures are featured on the Ruffledblog.com. For those of you in the wedding industry the Ruffledblog is probably one of the top 10 blogs to follow in the U.S. If you’re feeling short of inspiration and need to find something inspiring to get the creative juices flowing Ruffledblog is the place to go.

You can see the full blog post on TheRuffledblog by clicking here.

There are so many pictures from this session that could be shared so I thought I would post a few more for those who want to see them….

The following vendors made this happen. Without any one of them this would not have been possible.
Table Designer and Stationer: Kristy Rice of Momental Designs
Floral Design: Central Park Flowers
Cake: Cathy Reppert, Truly Scrumptious
Venue: The Cottage at Hillside Farms, Dallas, Pennsylvania
Linens: LaTavola Linens

One of the things I love doing is collaborating with other vendors from time to time and today Dorian and I from Central Park Flowers put together a tabletop for some print advertising that he has been working on for the Scranton market. When it comes to vendors you guys know I am very stingy when it comes to recommendations. If you’re looking for floral and or table arrangements for your wedding…

Don’t even bother with anyone else

Just get in touch with Dorian.

He constantly blows my mind with his designs.

Behind the scenes here at Darkershadesofbrown.

I get a ton of questions from people about where I get the inspiration for my photography so I thought I would give you a behind the scenes look at what we do at Darkershadesofbrown photography to keep ourselves fresh and inspired.

Wedding photography is a bit behind the times here in PA. Most of the people who want to provide for a family end up moving to a warmer climate as they can work pretty much all year round and keep their schedules full every week. I tend to love Pennsylvania so my wife and I decided to make it our home a few years ago. Honestly, I am sometimes saddened by my lack of piers to share and collaborate with. About a year ago Kristy Rice from Rice Ink whom I did not know contacted and hired me to do some work for her website. For those of you who follow my blog you know that we have become friends over the last year. I think we tend to both inspire each other and I have really enjoyed getting to know the girls of rice ink over the last 12 months.

Just a quick peak at the amazing work we did that day.

Publication is due early next year and after it is released I will be sure to show you more from this amazing session.

It is like breathing to me and today I got to take deep breaths.

For those who follow my blog on a somewhat consistent basis you know that every now and then I recommend a vendor that I believe has some special sauce they can offer you on your wedding day. I am always so careful when people ask me to recommend vendors to them. I honestly don’t know what to say to someone when they ask me about a vendor that I am not familiar with. Wedding planning like photography is not something to take lightly. There are so many people out there claiming to be wedding planners that it’s hard to know who to trust and that is why I gotta give a shout out to Jan who just does some incredible work for you on your wedding day.

Jan Sokolowski is the owner of Attention 2 Pefection in Forty Fort Pa about a half hour outside of Scranton and has many years of event planning behind her belt. If someone were to ask me who the best wedding planner is in and around the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area Jan would be at the very top of my short list.
