I'm really excited about our engagement shoot!
Last week, it rained all day solid on Monday, which effectively nixed our engagement picture shoot. There was a very specific window of time during which we could take the pictures because of the rain forecast during the week and QB being out of town during the part where it completely clears up and turns lovely…of course!
Wednesday afternoon we took advantage of slightly overcast skies – compared to dark, rainy skies – and a timid sun peaking through the clouds to visit the fair for our engagement pictures.
Rather than being cooler outside, it was a bit humid (why am I surprised?!) but a nice breeze was blowing so that helped matters tremendously.
We had such a fun time finding interesting, colorful shots on the midway, next to Ferris wheel, carousels and roller coasters. There wasn’t a huge crowd but of course everyone stared a little bit because, well, you have to make out for the camera and be disgustingly cute and lovey-dovey. Over the past year, we have both noticed that more often than not our cheesy lovey-ness disgusts people as it is, so we threw caution to the wind and had a great time! Erin is such an incredible photographer and it seemed like she had a blast. She always photographs colors really well, has a keen sense of lighting - and the state fair is the best place for lots of cheery, bright color.
I wore a pair of red and white striped flats that I claimed from my Mom’s closet during a visit a few weeks ago! They were cute and I had to have them.
The photos are fantastic and she did a wonderful job...we are getting a little Freudian flack and Carnie sex references about the corn dog pic, though!! (not posted here...haha)
For a few more pictures, check out her blog post.
