So a few months ago Erin and I started planning out her engagement session. We had a few ideas.... went back and forth and settled on a session at the fair. I had dreamed of a session at the fair... the colors, the fun stands and THE RIDES!! I was so excited! The day finally came. We started with a few shots in my neighborhood but moved quickly so we could catch the amazing light at the fair. We got there, got our tickets and made it on the ferris wheel. Everything was going really well. We decided to go into the fun house.... it was pretty crowded. We got all the way through and there was a line to take the slide down to the end. I decided to make my way back through and wait for the love birds down there... hopefully catching a shot of them when they came out. So down I went. Made it out just fine. I stepped off the last step, heard two loud pops and fell right to the ground. There were some quick gasps and two women walked over to help me up. I actually was in such shock and pain that I said, "I need a minute." It was part embarrassment and part pain that was so confusing. Luckily I hobbled over to a nearby bench where I almost passed out. Shocking, right? The fair employees kept asking if they needed to call the medics. I insisted I was fine until I realized I could not walk. So, I accepted the help because they assured me that it was simply a golf cart that would come. They arrived.... SIRENS AND ALL!! Horrifying! It quickly became a spectacle. The medics made me think my foot was going to fall off the way they reacted so I ended up heading straight to the ER. The session was over and my foot was broken. The only perk is that we ended up getting to do a round two of engagement sessions. Thanks Erin & Jon for being the most flexible, awesome and fun couple to photograph!!
