DATE NIGHT DISASTER at The Orange Carpet

Here are a few from a quick trip for some new band pics of my friends Date Night Disaster. They have some new members and needed some new promo pics. I stopped in to see/hear them and grab some shots(unfortunately only of the photo variety) at the Orange Carpet Lounge--wrapping up a long photo day--starting in Columbus with a session, 2'nd night of my high school reunion(with pics) in Pickerington, and winding down with Date Night Disaster before I headed home to collapse. They sounded great--as always. If you haven't had the chance, definitely catch one of their shows--you'll love them! More photos of the band on both mine and their Facebook pages!

GABBY-Senior Session

Here's a first look at the lovely Gabby's senior session. We had a beautiful autumn day for her session. We took advantage of it and ran all over the place--from Hayden Falls, to a park along the Scioto River, to the Arena District & ending up at the Arch--which was a hot spot with a wedding party showing up at the same time. Gabby's mom and little brother came along and we had to get a few shots with the little guy. You can see some more from Gabby's session on my Facebook page, and the entire session will be coming soon on my website in the Client Gallery section!

MEGAN and ROY-Wedding Reception

I met with Megan a little over a year ago and she told me about the plans that she and Roy had made for a wonderful intimate wedding with close friends and family at the Crowne Plaza North in Columbus. Fast forward to this year--they weren't able to postpone being officially married for a year, so at the end of last year they quietly married--so the original wedding date was kept as a day of celebration with friends and family. It was like it was originally planned--just without the ceremony.

They decorated the reception area with loads of photos of the two of them over the years--which I loved(of course!) Other than not having a ceremony, it was a evening filled with all the wedding festivities--dinner, toasts, cake(well, adorable cupcakes), and lots and lots of dancing. I forgot to mention, the Michigan State football team was staying at the hotel--so we had them jump into a few of the photos--no hard feelings :-) I love the fact that even though they weren't able to wait for everyone to share in their marriage ceremony--they still kept everyone a part of the celebration!

VICKIE and BOO-Wedding

Vickie and Boo's wedding was closer to home than most. It's not unusual to feel like a part of the family once I've worked with a couple and their family during the wedding planning stages and throughout the wedding day. In this case though, Boo(or Clarence if you want to get technical) really is a part of the family. He's my brother-in-law, my husband's brother--and Vickie has already seemed to be a part of the family for what, like 8 years or so. It was a day that we wondered if ever was going to come--but it did--and what a day it was!

They were married in Pleasantville, with Boo's cousin performing the ceremony. The reception food was all prepared by family and friends--and Boo and Vickie. After the yummy meal, the party started with the band that Boo and Vickie have followed--and who have become friends-- providing music for lots of dancing. It was a lovely day, it was great to see all the friends and family that came together for the happy occasion. Welcome to the family--officially--Vickie!
