to say we had a blast during this session, would be an understatement! we got photobombed by a horse, saw a hot air balloon, ate cotton candy, and rode rides. it was basically amazing! emily and larry met me on sunday evening at the state fair for their engagement session.their story is just as fun as their session. emily met larry through her brother. he was one of his best friends. one thing led to another and they become more than friends. they’ve dated for a few years and are know ready to tie the knot. the way larry chose to propose to emily is pretty epic. emily was running a marathon up in dc and at the end of the race, each runner was able to have their picture taken up on stage. well, larry decided to propose to emily on stage when her picture was being taken. pretty amazing if you ask me! after she said yes, there were cheers from all of the other runners in mutual excitement! lots of endorphins right there! 🙂

i was so so SO excited when emily and larry decided they wanted to do their engagement session at the state fair! i have been dying to do a session there for what feels like forever. so you can understand my excitement when they wanted to do their session there! these pictures are so much fun and i can’t wait to share some of my favorites with you all! these are a little different from my usual style, but i LOVE them. they are so fun and have SO MUCH COLOR!!! ahhh!!! ok. no more talking. just check ’em out! 🙂

what’s a trip to the state fair without some cotton candy?

we stuck around a little bit for it to get darker so we could get all of the fun lights!
