Lynsey's Date...
Coordinating 3 different dates with three exceptional women is no easy feat. In fact, finding the participants for this shoot was incredibly difficult. I probably sounded like a crazy woman, and now understand why guys are slipping into DMs so often. It's just hard to tell who is available or not these days. Luckily I had the privilege of knowing each woman and the guy personally. However, when they said yes I'm still not convinced they knew exactly what they were signing up for.
When planning the dates, I wanted everyone to enjoy them. Highlighting local places was also on the highest of priorities! When it was Lynsey's turn I knew she'd come prepared...
Nerves definitely played a huge role in the day, but that wasn't something a little shotgunning wouldn't fix. So it was down the hatch and on to playing a different kind of game with different kind of guns...
Combat Opps Entertainment...
Not even go to lie to you all, laser tag is one of my favorite things. But Combat Opps doesn't have just any ol' laser tag, there are hundreds of different game play options which were all programed and created by actual retired military personnel! The room we were in had an old school bus and truck as part of the setup. The level of realism is unmatched and oh so fun! They also have nerf wars available.
Lynsey and Ben were so hard to track down and capture... they took it so seriously that most images looked like something straight from a horror film! I was excited that they also wanted to play some of the other games like axe throwing too so I could get a few better shots of them together. Let's just say, I think they both got a couple of bullseyes!
We also had time for a mini photoshoot in the arcade which was a win-win for us all, as they got to keep being competitive and I got to capture some dreamy moments where they looked like perfect models!
Once again, I almost forgot there were other girls in the mix... After having fun at the arcade Lynsey and Ben got to go for lunch at Fort Wayne's very own the Hoppy Gnome. They were able to have a little time alone while I dropped off the final Love Letter...
The Final Love Letter
I cannot believe we are wrapping up this journey together friends! Doing this shoot in 24 hours was quite the challenge, but sharing it with everyone I can honestly say has been the hardest part! So many texts, DMs and emails have been sent asking when the next blog would go live... and now we only have 2 more to go! Both of which will be released NEXT MONDAY...
So keep sharing, and following along as we wrap up this awesome project with Bri's date and the Second Chance Ceremony...
