Here are this year's entries to the fair. It's a good thing Kent and Melissa asked me to shoot so many of their pictures, because several of my entries come from their engagement, pre-wedding and wedding shoots. I'll know if any of my entries are ribbon-winners in a week or so.

Still lifeBefore their big day, Kent and Melissa asked if I would take pictures of them in their wedding attire. Melissa chose the spots: windmills, cliffs, fences and fields east of town.
Kent and Melissa dated in high school, and they attended several school dances. At those dances, Melissa always wore silver Converse sneakers. Since purple was her primary color at the reception, Kent bought her purple Converses to wear with her wedding dress. 
This is where Kent proposed to Melissa. We recreated the moment.Patty had all her kids in town (which is saying something because they're spread out pretty far, geographically speaking) and wanted family pictures. I was happy to oblige.
The only editing I had to do was to switch Aaron's head (left top) with another picture because he was looking away in this shot, and to slightly alter the color of Kate's cardigan (middle bottom) because it was a little to salmon-y.
