A Carnival of Sights to See

I know I promised circus things, but I do believe that the carnival is a very closely related cousin...

When I saw some of Mable and Charlie's elopement photos on Southern Weddings last month, I was instantly smitten. I love the color, the movement, and the playfulness that photographer Jessica Purvis captured.







While a carnival wedding day might not be for everyone, it would make for a fantastic welcome party or rehearsal dinner. And, most of all, I love the idea of doing an engagement shoot at a carnival- a guaranteed recipe for happiness and laughter!
