The Great Gatsby at Hotel Lafayette
Friday, June 19, 2015 at 8:00AM I love this solo shot of Jimmy that was done at Hotel at the Lafayette. It was at Mike A's Lounge Bar (now called Bourbon & Butter). If you have not been to this bar, check it out! It is a great atmosphere.
Leah and Jimmy had a "Great Gatsby" style wedding, with a hint of Disney in it! Before the wedding Leah had mentioned a scene from "The Great Gatsby" where Leonardo DiCaprio is holding out his drink with a party going on behind him. I knew exactly what she was talking about! She said Jimmy would love to do something similar if we could. He loves to mix drinks and come up with new kinds of cocktails. Let's just say, he makes some really great drinks!
Neal knew right where he wanted to go for this shot. We headed into the Lounge bar and got Jimmy a drink. Bourbon of course! We kindly asked some of the crowd if they would sneak out of the way for a quick shot of the Groom. They didn't mind at all. In fact, when we set it up someone said it looked like "The Great Gatsby!" I guess we were on the right track! Jimmy was perfect! I love how you can see the bar and bar lights blurred in the background. This captured Jimmy and his personality 100%!
His wife Leah has a passion for photography and is now a part of Neal Urban Studio!
