Ryan and Amanda's Country Club Wedding

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Kight!  Groom, Ryan, played hockey with my youngest brother at Robert Morris University.  So when I met the bride Amanda and they asked me to be their wedding photographer I was so excited! The ceremony and reception were at the Butler Country Club.  It was a gorgeous summer day and we were lucky enough to get a few clouds during this outdoor ceremony to shade the site and keep guests cool.  This was one of the most personal ceremony's I have ever been to.  Ryan's love of hockey was mentioned during the nuptuals, being warned to "stay out of the penalty box" and that teamwork is important.  During the ceremony the bride's sister also surprised Ryan and Amanda by singing Train's song "Marry Me."  I'm pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye around!  As the bride and groom left the ceremony the kids getting golf lessons made sure to drop their clubs and applaud which was such a cute touch.

The rest of the day went off without a hitch. Photos on the golf course were fun (I'm sure the bridal party enjoyed riding around in golf carts, hah), the family and friends enjoyed cocktail hour, dinner was served and the reception began.  Kids took over the dance floor first then adults followed their lead.  The bride's dad even took over the dance floor for awhile!  This was such a beautiful, fun day spent with wonderful people.  Thank you Ryan and Amanda for having me be a part of your big day!
