meet cate and brandon. i got to pick the color of the tie. he had a green and blue one, but hopefully i did good by picking the one that matched cate’s dress. i think it looks awesome. sorry to all my theatre friends for interrupting your smoking session and kicking you out of the court yard so i can get these pics. it was worth your sacrifice.

what a great looking couple.

hey, it’s allie. i had to throw in a comment about cate’s shoes, they’re probably the cutest ever.

brandon was in town interviewing for a job with a rail road company, which i found out afterwards. kind of cool we took a few train related photos.

yowza!


simply love this sequence of shots.


bam. hot. wow.

i told them if they embarrass themselves with a little dancing, i would sing and be there dance music. i sang “sweet dreams.”


work. it.

at the beginning of the session they wouldn’t tell about this surprise prop they had prepared. they were afraid i wouldn’t like it. they were right. i loved it.


a long time ago, i worked on a very bad film called “fate.” the producer of the movie owns a carnival company, and i got his permission to shoot some of our engagement session where his carnival is currently parked.

it simply was a dream to shoot.

okay. i took like a million photos on the merry-go-round. i hope cate and brandon had fun, because this thing was spinning around at close to light speed. here are a few of the shots that turned out.


brandon did really good with the ring. that thing sparkled even close to the end of sunset. the ride on the bottom right sadly couldn’t be enjoyed by them as the fine print said “you must be this tall….. or shorter to ride this ride.”

seeing that they got the all access-all rides pass, we took a few more on some of the other rides. i felt kind of bad, as i got motion sickness just watching them on the himalaya ride.

some more of the ice.

we busted out the flash for a few once it got dark.

there is something really cool about this shot.

spoiler alert… cate just got cotton candy for cute photos. she really doesn’t like it too much. i do… and i did.

who needs a 6 foot plush panda when you got your best friend and love beside you.

you win.

chris + allie.
