10 Date Ideas from a Huntsville, AL Wedding Photographer
Sometimes life can get in the way of actually dating. If you and your significant other have been together for a long time, there’s a tendency to cruise and not continue pursuing the other. But if you’re in love, there will always be things to discover about them. My encouragement to any and all couples is this: never stop dating. Time flies, and months can go by without intentional time together. So this blog post is purposed to provide ideas for a fun date night!
Do you ever run out of date ideas with your babe? Here are 15 ideas for fun dates I’ve collected as a Huntsville, AL wedding photographer, ranging from free to fancy!
1. Picnic at Big Spring Park
It’s in the heart of the city, and even the wildlife love it! Wander around the park for hours, grab a spot for a picnic and maybe venture into the Museum of Art, situated right at the corner of the park.
2. Dancing at Huntsville Swing Dance Society.
Ready to get your dancing shoes on and try something new? Join many others in Huntsville for a fun night learning all types of swing dancing. It might be nerve-racking at first… but adventure awaits!
3. Cycle downtown with Pace Bikes.
The best way to a see a city is to cycle through it. You see things that you wouldn’t in a car or on a bus tour. Cycle through the heart of downtown past parks, mix-used developments, restaurants and businesses.
4. Live Music at Good Company Café
“I saw ____ in concert at a small venue before they became famous!” is something you hear often at Good Company Cafe. You never know which upcoming artist you could see in concert just at a coffee shop!
5. Dinner at Pints and Pixels
Arcade games galore and super good food! Both guys and girls will love this eatery with a side of competition!
6. Visit the Space and Rocket Center
The US Space and Rocket Center is a Hunstville staple. If you’ve yet to go, then you haven’t fully experienced Rocket City (hence the nickname)! The entrance fee is only $30, and well worth it.
7. Little Rosie’s Taqueria
…needs no explanation. If you’ve ever been to Huntsville, you’ve probably been to Little Rosie’s! It’s the best casual Mexican restaurant in Huntsville and you’ll leave being a lifelong fan.
8. Dinner at Panavino and Museum of Art
Want something a little more classy and cultured? Grab some pizza in the Museum of Art, then spend some time wandering around the museum. Try learning about one specific artist together and then watch a documentary or YouTube video about them afterward!
9. Civil Axe Throwing and dinner at Cotton Row
Now, I wouldn’t suggest going civil axe throwing on a first date!! Just to be safe 😉 But this date requires some bravery, teaching points, laughter and a little workout while still having fun!
10. Dinner at AM Booth’s Lumberyard
This is such a fun space! They have live events almost every night, a space that gets transformed into a variety of looks and fantastic food.
One of my favourite things about being a Huntsville, AL wedding photographer is that it allows me to become more acquainted with such a fun city! I’m constantly discovering new things to do in this town, and I promise to keep you all updated here on my blog.
