creative production and scenic painting by me. we transported our guests to an old timey, 40s era carnival with plenty of valentine’s day date activities. for the primary photobooth, i collaborated with felisa to create a heart-shaped wreath dotted with pink and gold roses and pink tulle bows, and sourced a dreamy cotton candy sky backdrop. i also sourced a ferris wheel seat and merry go round horses for additional fair-themed photo moments. as an additional backdrop, i gave new life to an old lake horizon backdrop with hand painted birds and a vibrant sunset.
