Alex + Eric // Western Idaho Fair

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the Western Idaho Fair in hues of gold and pink, Alex and Eric set out on an adventure that mirrored the playful essence of their love story. With hands intertwined, they wandered through the vibrant fairground, where laughter echoed alongside the melodies of carnival rides.

The fair’s lively atmosphere was the perfect backdrop for capturing the adventurous spirit of this Boise couple. Alex, with her carefree style, wore a plaid shirt tied around her waist, while Eric sported a casual t-shirt and jeans. Their first stop was the enchanting swing ride. In a nostalgic black-and-white frame, Alex placed her hand on Eric’s chest, their smiles a testament to their deep connection amidst the dazzling lights.

No trip to the fair would be complete without a carnival game or two, and so we made our first stop at the balloons. Eric wrapped his arms around Alex, guiding her as she aimed for the colorful balloons. Their playful competitiveness shone through as Alex giggled, her eyes set on winning the giant teddy bear swaying above. The black-and-white capture of this moment evoked timelessness, a celebration of their shared joy and spontaneity. With the sun setting, Alex reached triumphantly for a large yellow plush toy, her face lit up with delight. Against the silhouette of the Ferris wheel, they continued hand in hand, savoring the magic of their engagement session and delighted in a water gun game. Alex's triumphant cheer as she hit the target filled the air, echoing their shared competitiveness and the joy they found in every moment together.

And as the sunset, and the fairgrounds were lit with color, the nostalgia of the rides at night beckoned again. The towering Ferris wheel offered a brief escape from the world below. As they ascended, the vibrant fair lights blurred into a sea of colors, leaving only the two of them, sharing a kiss that encapsulated their love's thrilling journey. As twilight deepened, they found themselves at the swing carousel, its motion capturing the evening's excitement. Holding hands, they soared through the air, surrounded by the fair’s dynamic, colorful atmosphere—a fitting backdrop for their spirited engagement session.

Under the starry night sky, Alex and Eric embraced in silhouette against the bright Ferris wheel. Their smiles reflected the adventure and joy they cherished in each other, wrapping up their unforgettable day at the Western Idaho Fair. This vibrant playground had been the perfect setting for their love story, one imbued with wonder and limitless possibilities.
