Amanda + John | St. Pamphilus Wedding Photos

You may remember Amanda and John from their wintery engagement session.  They were married this past weekend at St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Beechview, and had an awesome and fun reception at St. Pamphilus.  Luckily the freezing Pittsburgh weather is finally behind us and Spring has finally sprung, so the weather was just a tad warmer this time around.  Check out a few of my favorites from their day:

It’s a little hard to see, but the title of that song is “Amanda’s Day”.  Her stepdad composed this specifically for her and had a mini orchestra of violins and cellos play it live during the ceremony!  How cool is that!?DSC 9768 thumb(pp w768 h511) - Amanda + John | St. Pamphilus Wedding PhotosDSC 9994 thumb(pp w480 h721) - Amanda + John | St. Pamphilus Wedding Photos

They had an ice sculpture at the reception, so of course I threw their rings on top of that :)DSC 0531 thumb1(pp w768 h511) - Amanda + John | St. Pamphilus Wedding Photos

The reception was such a blast!  PJ the DJ kept the dance floor packed the entire night and everyone had an awesome time.  Bottom-left photo by Chris.composite8 thumb(pp w768 h1068) - Amanda + John | St. Pamphilus Wedding Photos

And I of course snuck them away for a quick photo outside.
