Kalyn and Nick’s wedding day was a beautiful fusion of elegance, emotion, and fun, set against the stunning backdrop of Edgewood Country Club in Pittsburgh, PA. From the classic venue to the subtle Star Wars tributes, this wedding was filled with meaningful moments, a little bit of whimsy, and a lot of love.
A Golfer's Dream Venue
Kalyn and Nick share a love of golf, which made Edgewood Country Club the perfect choice for their wedding day. The venue offered not only stunning views of the golf course but also beautiful, timeless architecture that allowed for incredible photos — even when the weather wasn’t exactly cooperating.
The rainy spring day might have prevented outdoor portraits, but the couple didn’t let the weather dampen their spirits. Instead, we moved indoors to take full advantage of Edgewood’s sophisticated interiors. From the grand architecture to the soft, ambient lighting, the venue offered everything we needed to create timeless and intimate portraits that perfectly captured Kalyn and Nick’s connection.
A Wedding Filled with Meaning and Fun
Kalyn’s wedding day look was nothing short of show-stopping. Her silver Louis Vuitton shoes with red soles made a bold statement, adding a touch of luxury to her bridal ensemble. But beyond the beautiful details, the day was rich in sentimental moments that made it uniquely their own.
One of the most emotional parts of the day came when Kalyn was walked down the aisle by her brother. It was a beautiful tribute to her late father, whose memory was honored throughout the day. As Kalyn and Nick exchanged vows, there were many heartfelt moments, and their loved ones were visibly moved as they remembered her father’s presence.
A Ceremony with Stunning Views
The ceremony took place in the venue’s gorgeous ceremony space, located downstairs in the club. The room featured floor-to-ceiling arched windows that allowed natural light to pour in, casting a soft, romantic glow over the couple as they said their vows. The stunning windows, paired with the rain outside, created an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complemented the emotional significance of the moment.
Nick and Kalyn’s vows were not only a celebration of their love but a reflection of the deep bond they share. Their families, gathered in the beautiful space, watched on as they took this next step in their journey together.
Subtle Star Wars Touches and Shenanigans
Though the day was filled with emotional moments, there was also plenty of lightheartedness. Kalyn and Nick’s wedding happened to fall on May 4th, which meant they couldn’t pass up an opportunity to pay homage to the Star Wars franchise. The couple incorporated subtle Star Wars details throughout the day, with themed signage and seating arrangements that added a playful touch.
The fun truly kicked off at the reception, where a stormtrooper helmet made an appearance. Guests eagerly took turns donning the helmet for photos, adding a touch of whimsy to the evening. Laughter and fun moments like these were a perfect counterbalance to the more emotional parts of the day, creating a well-rounded and unforgettable celebration.
A Private Last Dance
As the night drew to a close, Kalyn and Nick shared a private last dance, a moment that was just for the two of them. Surrounded by the soft glow of the venue’s chandeliers, they embraced, taking in the memories of their unforgettable day. The quiet beauty of the moment, away from the bustling reception, allowed them to reflect on everything they had shared and experienced that day.
A Day to Remember
Kalyn and Nick’s wedding at Edgewood Country Club was a perfect mix of elegance, sentiment, and fun. From the rainy spring day that didn’t dampen their spirits to the emotional tributes and playful Star Wars references, their wedding was a true reflection of who they are as a couple. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.
As their photographer, I feel so honored to have captured these special moments, and I’m beyond thrilled to see how these memories will live on through their timeless photos. Kalyn and Nick, your wedding was one for the books, and I can’t wait to see where the force takes you in your journey together.
