I should mention that this WINNIPEG COUPLES VINTAGE ENGAGEMENT IDEA POSTING involves two wonderful models who are not engaged, but were used to create this amazing session. The time period of this shoot is supposed to be right at the end of WW2. The woman is coming to the Train Station to meet her fiancé who was in the Navy and on his way home.
This photoshoot took place at the Winnipeg Railway Museum located at the Train Terminal on Main St.
I took a few images of the entrance; the interior; and the tracks - to give you an idea of the building.
The museum is a separate area that houses a number of closed of tracks with Vintage Train Cars and other items.
We also shot some outdoor images at The Forks, which is directly next to this museum.
So here we have our young couple trying to meet each other just after WW2 had ended.
The girl has to take a train to meet her beau - and our Navy gent also is taking a train.
I should mention that all the Uniforms, Outfits, Accessories were provided for FREE by my studio and is available for any client.
The woman has now boarded her train and is on the way to see her long awaited fiancé.
For this Winnipeg Couples Vintage Engagement Idea session I had some professional hair and makeup done for the woman.
Hair: Cristina Mazzei from Urban Crush Salon.
MU: Karla Chin of Karla Chin Artistry.
There is a "User Fee" that is required in order to shoot a session in the Museum.
I found the management to be very accommodating and easy to deal with.
I would highly recommend the Museum for a Couple's Stylized photo session.
Of course The Forks are was free of charge to use - but you have to maneuver around the crowds.
I should mention that the newspaper that the Seaman is holding is an AUTHENTIC paper with the End Of The War Headlines.
So in the next series of images above, the couple finally sees each other for the first time in a few years.
I wanted to capture the look of seeing each other - from each of their perspectives.
It gives a nice Editorial feel to this Winnipeg Couples Vintage Engagement Idea shoot.
The two "lovebirds" finally are able to hold each other and embrace.
The Vintage Train car makes a great setting for this moment.
The authentic newspaper adds to the story-telling element.
Imagine YOURSELF here in this Time Travelling photo shoot.
The young war time couple have a few pics around the train station to celebrate their arrival together.
They then hop into a vintage jalopy and head over to The Forks area for more photos.
The car image is actually a "Train Car" that rides on the rails - but I cropped it to make it look like a normal automobile.
I have a variety of Pinup and Vintage style dresses in a variety of sizes available for FREE for clients.
I also have a few different Uniforms for Males or Females.
Wouldn't you love to have a unique PROPOSAL done in a Vintage Train Station while you were dressed for the 1940's?

For the last Couple's Image - of this Winnipeg Couples Vintage Engagement Idea session...
I wanted to re-create the Famous "The Kiss" image that was taken at the end of WW2 in New York City.
I think my models got it pretty close.
This very unique session was Published in the WINNIPEG SUN NEWSPAPER to showcase this vintage styled engagement idea.
I took a photo of my young son reading the paper.
