A Rocking Reception

Two friends of mine eloped in Vegas in September. They didn't want to do the big wedding thing, but they did, however, want to celebrate with their friends and family. They decided to have a Las Vegas themed reception this past weekend. You might remember their engagement pictures that I took over the summer...






They held their reception at Glass Works in downtown Louisville. They had it decorated in a Las Vegas theme complete with glass palm trees, slot machines, and two blackjack tables. Those were a big hit! They got to gamble with fake money and the biggest winner of the night won a prize.


They also had a table of their engagement and wedding portraits for everyone to view.



The event started at 4:00 and they made their appearance at about 4:30, dressed perfectly for the occasion...

Since their friends and family didn't get to attend their wedding, they played the video for everyone to see. While the video was playing, they changed into their wedding attire. After they mingled for a bit, they had another suprise in store. There was a stage area that had been covered by curtains. When the curtains opened, there was a band starring the bride as a bass player, the groom as the drummer as well as a singer and guitar player. They played 3 rock songs for everyone and they sounded great! The groom has played the drums for years in several bands and the bride has played the bass for a long time, although not in a band.



It was a really fun, unique reception and I was glad to be part of it!
