Renaissance Reenactments

For this assignment, I originally started with Cosplayers, from there I went down to the next levels of LARPers. I posted on facebook, just on a whim, to see if anyone knew how I could get in contact with some [before I started driving around to all the comic book shops in the area] Then, as luck would have it, I got a text from someone who I "friended" that day saying she wasn't "exactly a LARPer," but she did do Renaissance Reenactments. I jumped on the opportunity and called her. She and a group of her friends all meet up dressed in their historically accurate Renaissance clothing. Some fence, others are merchants or noble woman - the point is they get to be whoever they want in this world that they have created. 

Most of them got started by friends or family or in Zach's case, his wife. One of the ladies even brought her daughter! She was so excited to have her picture taken in her "princess dress" Their costumes are all handmade, either by them or they have them made for trade. Some even have their swords custom made to fit their hold. 

These guys were so awesome and amazing to photograph! I loved it!
