Both the bride and groom's families are from the Ashanti region of Ghana so they are considered Akans (the larger tribe) and speak the native language, Twi (pronounced "too-wree"). Over the past 2 weeks my wife and I have learned many words from the Twi dialect and want to learn even more. The ceremony was done entirely in English, however, that didn't stop us from impressing certain guests that spoke Twi with our knowledge.
I've posted a few photographs below and you know where you'll find more coming up!

Beautiful shots, Ross! My favorites are the two of the bride in sepia. Awesome!

"Ah......". Lovely! As always.
Wonderful shots Ross. You did a great job bringing us into the events that occured that day as well as getting us as close to the emotions of the day as possible without actually being there.
Mr. Knight,
Your pics are awesome. I've been watching and follwing your blog for years now. I pray that one day I will be able to utilize you for something. Happy 1st year together. God really put this together. Amen and God Bless.

These pictures are wonderful. Thank you for showing the world that there is beauty and love in Ghana. These pictures made me very homesick. Hopefully someday soon you will make another trip to Ghana to take pictures for my wedding. God bless you both and enjoy Ghana!
You simply keep amazing me. I am so proud of both you and Brandi. I can’t wait to see all of the pictures and of course hear some great stories and insight on what Africa is really like. I trust you to tell me the truth.
I AM REALLY LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU! yOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME OR (I'M SURE)THE CLIENTS!
When I taught pre-school (many years ago) I had a very interesting student who spoke TWI.
IT's a interesting dialect with all of it's clicking sounds.
My student at the time was 5yrs and always embraced me with a warm smile every day!
Simply beautiful!
All shots are AWESOME!!!! Great job guys!
Nice pictures........Keep it up.
Great pictures Ross….Hope you and Brandi are having a blast and taking in the experiences that will last you a lifetime….Looking forward to the rest of the pictures.
absolutely gorgeous imagery!!!
Mr Knight - Just wanted to say how much your story and photos have been an inspiration to me here in Australia. I'm starting up my photography biz and you've been an example that faith and determination can take you a long long way.

Love the pictures!!!
Absolutely Breathtaking!
Great work you have here. I like your style.

one word.....Beautiful!!
Wonderful pictures. I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful wedding images--they're usually so trite and dull. Yes, indeed, the trick is to love what you see. Stunning!
I pray by Christmas (Dec) me too you will cover my engagement and wedding in Ghana.
....... but first of all i have to pray for my husband to find me and arrangement for such event to commence.
i am single :):) with lots of faith and hope
