My brother Tim's band, , swept through Lexington Tuesday night to play . Having shot the back cover of their last album, , they were looking forward to having me updates some of their promo photos. They're putting the finishing touches on a new album set to drop in October, just in time for their European tour... check them out!
One of the opening acts, The Loaded Nuns
One of the things about weddings is that they often seem to be too familiar after awhile. You start looking for the same things, you set up in the same places in the aisle, etc. But then one comes along that busts up all your usual routines, and for me, Meredith and Aaron's wedding certainly did that.
Their original plan involved a small ceremony in a nearby state park, but someone pointed out that there was no alternate location at that site if the weather turned sour, and boy, was that a good call. The day turned out to have a light, but steady, drizzle, and instead of fighting the weather, we got a charming venue that was perfect for the intimate size of the gathering and promised fun for all.
It's that time of year again-- I'm knee deep in editing this summer's weddings while trying to schedule meetings to talk with brides about next spring's weddings (plus a couple still for this fall!), which hasn't left lots of time for blogging, especially if I want the kids to remember who that guy who shows up every other week is. I think my wife remembers who I am, but I've been on the road lots this season-- six different states this year.
I'm overdue for a real wedding post, and you'll see a new quirky one tomorrow - the ceremony took place on a carousel in Massachussetts!
Also tomorrow (Tuesday August 17), my brother's Tim's band, the Turbo A.C.'s, invade Lexington. They're playing Buster's Billiards down in the Distillery District, and you know I'd love to see a great turnout for them here in their only Kentucky appearance. If you're a new bride that we haven't booked yet and you introduce yourself to me at the show, I'll give you a substantial gift card towards your wedding photography-- trust me, it'll be a lot bigger than the price of admission, even if you bring your whole wedding party!
As for the promised fun in this post, I was on Improv Everywhere's site and saw this great mission from last year, where they throw a surprise wedding reception for a couple getting married at City Hall... Enjoy!
