From the very beginning I knew that a super fun and outgoing couple like Matt and Lauren would need a super fun and outgoing engagement session to match. We headed to Winnipeg’s annual Red River Exhibition for their engagement session a few weeks ago, and had a lot of fun enjoying all the fair had to offer. We actually did their session in two distinct parts, so I’ll be posting the images in two individual posts.
Matt and Lauren are both pilots so I knew that any unconventional suggestions I might have involving rides wouldn’t make them motion sick! We decided that our session would definitely involve heading out after dark, and some photographs as we spun around on the swing carousel! I thought for sure we’d be “busted” for any photography antics and that I’d get kicked off the ride, so I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I got on the ride with my camera gear sans problem. My relief was momentary because about thirty seconds later a carnival worker sat down RIGHT BESIDE ME. Fortunately, it was just a coincidence; he was more interested in taking a break from working and spinning the terrified teenager ahead of us in circles than worrying about me potentially dropping 5 lbs. worth of DSLR onto someone’s head.
We got some fun and very memorable shots for our efforts!
We did more than ride the swings of course… a trip to the fair just wouldn’t be complete without some sugary, cotton candy goodness!
As I said earlier, Matt and Lauren are really fun people; the photos from this half of the session reflected not only their fun side, but also their head-over-heels in love side too.
Stay tuned for part two of their engagement session which will be posted later this week!
Until next time,
Janet
