Engagement Session: Cristy + Amaury
It all started when Cristy was the tender age of 13. She never would have thought the day she walked into Winn Dixie, that her life would never be the same. Amaury was a bag boy, and the moment he saw Cristy, he was hooked.
Cristy and Amaury were a great couple! I knew when Cristy called me and told me that she wanted her engagement session to be at a fair, that they were going to be a fun couple.

When we started out at FIU, they were a little nervous in front of the camera at first.

But we still managed to get some great shots!

This one is one of my favorites!

Then my assistant, Josh, gave them a little bit of direction for a little bit of fun.

They had to tease one another...

... but eventually gave in.

Then off to the fair! I was playing around, trying to get the light just perfect, and got this. They are not in focus, and that one guy is blocking my shot, but for some reason, I like it! :-)

Going to the fair is like going to NYC for the first time, you can't help but look up at all the lights and smile!

By this time, they started to loosen up. I knew this couple was going to be fun!

I love this shot with the lights spinning in the background!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for cotton candy. You can't go to the fair and NOT have cotton candy!

Then we went for a ride on the carousel.

I think they forgot at this point I was still there taking pictures while we were spinning.

Josh grabbed my camera for this quick mirror shot right as the ride ended.

The were oblivious of all the people around them! I love it!

We ended the night with a ride on the Ferris Wheel.

Cristy & Amaury, thank you for allowing me to share in your love for one another. Josh and I both had so much fun with you guys hanging out at the fair!

I really like that blurry one too. It looks very mysterious, like there is a whole story wrapped up in it. I love shots like that!
