Katie & Ryan’s “Take Me to the Fair” Engagement Session – South Florida County Fair Photography

Every now and then you get one of those sessions you are really excited about.  This was one of them.  I met Katie and Ryan about 18 months ago when I shot the wedding of friends of her families.  So I was really excited when she called me eight months later about shooting she and Ryan’s wedding.  We had met a couple of times to discuss their engagement sessions (that’s right, plural).  Katie is a huge fan of anything early ’60′s.  So much so that their wedding will have a definite ’60′s edge to it from the cake to the guest gifts.  They really wanted to choose locations for their sessions that would fit with this subtle theme.  Right off the bat I was like, “County Fair”.  Normally this might be an issue seeing that the Dade County Fair is not till the middle of March and a little warm.  And the Broward County Fair is not till November which is well after the wedding.  Well, good news, The South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach just happened to be in the middle of January which is the perfect shooting weather.

Originally I expected to have security and vendors give us a hard time and Katie expected to feel embarrassed in her ’60′s dress.  But we were both pleasantly surprised when security never said a word and the game and ride vendors were eager to help out.  As for Katie and her dress?  It was a hit.  The older women looked at her with a smile of nostalgia, the younger women came up and told her how much they loved her dress and the little girls said she looked like a princess.  And Ryan?  As any good fiancé would, he just went with the flow and enjoyed himself.
