Carnival Themed Wedding!!!!

A Carnival Themed Wedding

This is one of the funnest wedding theme's! We started of their engagements at a carnival in Auburn and they didn't stop there! This is one of the most colorful and yummiest Candy Bar all year I think!!!

Notice the details of the raffle/carnival tickets throughout this post!

It is actually pretty amazing the detail!!

The Candy bar ...

Their wedding favors where monogrammed personal cotton candy...and look at the awesome cart!

More of the Candy bar...

I love the table setting stand!!!

The guest book of their engagement pictures in it was a perfect touch...

Stepping over to the enterence...LOVE this directional signs!

Back inside...love the table decor! I never would have thought to continue the carnival theme into the tables! Brilliant!!!

Even the bar had a personal touch! And LOVE the stripped straws!!

Another beautiful AND creative wedding!!! So excited for their "Trash the Dress" photo shoot...the plans are...wait for it...a carnival!!!

Engagement Session at HOME!!!

I think maybe I will name Chris and Mandy the FUN couple of the year!!!

Not only are they getting married on the the biggest party day of the year NEW YEARS EVE,

but the had the funnest "Save The Date" photo shoot with confetti...

and now they just have had the cutest engagement session!!!

We started at Old Sac and I will post a sneak peek of those in the future...

but we ended at their chic NEW downtown home!

This part of the shoot is what would be called a "Lifestyle" shoot.

(Which is really a fancy way of saying shoot what is happening.)

Even though I think this is the funnest way to shoot a wedding,

it can be harder to shoot an engagement session this way

because you are asking a couple to just be themselves

with a person with a camera following them!

But Chris and Mandy were awesome!  They so wanted their puppies to be apart of their shoot! I loved this part of the shoot I wanted to share it!!!

This first one...is pretty much my favorite...

Just sitting on the steps drinking a cup of joe...

They have the cutest little yard....

They have this awesome fountain too...

They wanted to set and do what they do...so Chris grabbed the sports page and Mandy got all her wedding magazines that Chris jokes she has about 40 and reads them all. BTW...hmmmmmmmm

who is on the cover of that one??? Ummmmm that would be mine!

A perfect end to a perfect shoot!
