We had our wedding reception last Saturday at Gluek's. I think it went great. Tons of people showed up, the decorations looked awesome, the food was great, we went through lots of beer and wine, our photo booth guest book is filled to the max...
Tyler's parents threw a nice groom's dinner at Hell's Kitchen on Friday. It was nice that we got to spend some time with our families before the big day.
Before the reception started, Katrina from Studio Laguna Photography came over to take some shots of us and the rest of our family. She is the best. She knew exactly what she was doing. She can think on her feet, was in a great mood the whole time, and had some great ideas for photos. Her husband John and her both shot my sister Abby's wedding. They were so impressive that I didn't even look at any other photographers.
Here are 3 mini photos that she took, check out her blog for 5 others that she posted. Also, she has tons of great advice and cool photos.
We had The Traveling Photo Booth for some fun photos, I planted grass in recycled baby food jars and cans and my mom picked up a couple of mixed flower bouquets to put in old jars, we had some coloring books and crayons for the kids, and The Root City Band played. I had a great time, danced a lot, ate only a little, and mingled a lot.
I do wish that I had been able to talk to more people. The first half of the reception was difficult because Amelie was a bit tired and overwhelmed so she only wanted me to hold her...which made it difficult to socialize. We hired a great nanny through a friend so when she came to pick Ami up we were able to relax a little and have a beer.
It was pretty cool to have most of our family and friends in the same spot having a good time. I didn't take any photos myself, but once I get my hands on some, I will post and share. I do have a pic of cute little Amelie in her reception day dress...
