Planning a Wedding in Pennsylvania on a Short Timeline: A Summer Wedding at The Country Club of Scranton

Planning a wedding on a shorter timeline can feel overwhelming—but Elizabeth & Jeffrey’s summer wedding at The Country Club of Scranton is proof that a shorter timeline doesn’t need to mean sacrificing beauty, meaning, or joy when it comes to the experience. Throughout the years as I’ve photographed weddings all over Pennsylvania, I’ve seen a variety of timelines play out when it comes to wedding planning and this day was a perfect example of how intentional choices, trust, and having the right vendors by your side can truly make the day come together perfectly. Elizabeth & Jeffrey planned their elegant Scranton Country Club wedding in roughly three months with the guidance of Keira from Silk & Honey Events by their side and it made all the difference.
