Love this colorful and cheerful shoot! Almost every town or city has a fairgrounds complex — go go go! How fun for engagement photos!
From the photographer, Traci Burke Photography:
Wearing high wasted red pants and a blue crop top, Heather was handing out wristbands for a local bar that night. This was not Heather’s forte, just a one time gig, but somehow it just happened to work out in her favor. Little did she know, it would lead to meeting the man she would eventually call her mister.
Dave was working his night shift for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. It was a slow night, so he decided to park his car for a little while downtown. He noticed a girl and called over to her saying “Hey, whatchya got there?” Smooth Dave. They started talking and have been inseparable ever since!
Heather went home that night and told her whole family that she was getting married and that she definitely knew Dave was the one, even though she knew nothing about him…except his first name. What a fairytale!
Dave proposed to Heather after she came home from a long, hard day at work. The apartment was filled with white candles, white lanterns and white “will you marry me?” signs. He was so nervous, that he even misspelled YOU. He got down on one knee and Heather of course said yes! After the romantic proposal, Dave swept her away to a surprise dinner at her favorite restaurant with all of their closest friends and relatives. How thoughtful!
Dave is the ultimate comic book collector, so we knew we needed to incorporate superheros into our engagement session! He has thousands of comics and is always on the hunt for more! What better place to capture color than the South Florida Fair?
This comic book loving, ice-coffee drinking, movie watching couple was incredible to photograph. They each have different personalities and interests (did we mention that Heather is obsessed with tissue paper for crafts?) that mesh so well with each other to make one perfect couple.
