Rocking the Dress at the Sonoma County Fair {trash the dress photos, rock the dress photos, wedding photos at the fair, sonoma county fair photos}

Danielle and Chris met 7 years ago at a bar.  She woke up the next day to see a call from “Chris Bar” later to realize his last name as Barnsdale so even though it wasn’t the intended reason for the nickname, it worked!  The next day they had their first date at the Sonoma County Fair.  They made it to the rides just as they were shutting down.  Chris paid the ticket guy extra just to sell him tickets.  The guy warned Chris that they still might not let them on the rides if they’ve shut them down.  Chris still proceeded.  Once they made it to the faris wheel Chris slipped the guy $50 to let them on.  Once they got on they kept going round and round with that nervous, first date with chemistry type feeling the entire ride.  Chris wanted to kiss Danielle but hadn’t and the ride had come to an end.  So he handed the guy another $50 and asked him to park it at the top.  This is where they shared their first kiss.  The rest is just history.  Since Danielle and Chris decided to get married on their 7 year anniversary of this ride on the farris wheel, the fair was in town as usual, so it was only fitting that we would go to the fair the day after the wedding for a little “rock the dress” session.

Every year on their anniversary the fair is in town so the revisit each time.  They stop and take a set of photos at the photo booth, now their set is complete!

    What a beautiful story. I am so happy to have been a small part in your happy life together. My family are the owners of Helm and Sons and would love to make sure for the rest of our years at the Sonoma County Fair you allow us to give you wristbands so you can both ride to your hearts content on all the rides on your anniversary. Please come to the carnival customer service at the front of the carnival midway and ask for me. Be sure and tell the young lady in the booth who you are and that you are here to spend your anniversary with us. Congratulations and many many wonderful years together for you both. Thank you for sharing your story. It feels good to see how happy you are and that you shared..Enjoy and see you in 2013. Debby Helm
