BOOTE PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS
Recently, I had the honor of photographing a styled editorial inside Westmoreland Club’s breathtaking Grand Hall. Stepping into that space was more than just a creative opportunity, it was a powerful reminder of what’s possible here in Northeast Pennsylvania. You know when you’re having a “white glove” experience. Like walking into a five-star restaurant, you feel it in the weight of the flawlessly polished glassware, in the perfectly timed hospitality, down to the quiet grace of the drink service. Understanding what makes an experience truly unforgettable isn’t lost on me and it’s something I strive to infuse into my work here in Northeast PA’s wedding industry. The Westmoreland has always embodied timeless sophistication, but what struck me most during this shoot was how effortlessly the space lent itself to the kind of elevated experience often associated with far-off destinations. It reaffirmed something I believe wholeheartedly, our region deserves beauty, intention, and celebration on a world-class level. This shoot was designed to do more than showcase aesthetic sand convey emotion through design and editorial portraiture; it was meant to inspire our local creative industry to raise the bar. To think bigger than what’s been done. To infuse our events with meaning, emotion, and a sense of legacy. Whether it’s a wedding, a private event, or a creative collaboration, moments like these can become once-in-a-lifetime memories when approached with care, vision, and excellence. Our culture here is rich with story and heart. My vision for this shoot was to spark inspiration, to create an energy around celebration that goes beyond tired trends, and instead welcomes a warm, romantic atmosphere that envelopes our designs and sets the stage for core memories and legacy moments to unfold. I’m so grateful to be part of this creative community and to The Westmoreland for providing a space that allows us to dream bigger and explore what’s truly possible. - Brittany Boote
