Star Wars wedding (Justin Winokur will photograph the bejeezus out of your theme wedding!)

July 25th, 2008 · Posted by Ariel · Sponsored wedding porn · 14 comments

So, you’re having a theme wedding. And you’re looking for a wedding photographer who won’t scoff, “Wait, you’re getting married on a pirate ship?” A wedding photographer who won’t ask incredulously, “So, you’re dressing up … like astronauts?”

If you want a photographer who screams, “FUCK YEAH, I LOVE YOUR WONDERFULLY WEIRD THEME WEDDING!” then you want Justin Winokur. This LA-based photographer will totally p0wn your theme wedding, and if you don’t believe me, just check out some of his photos from a Star Wars wedding…


If you want to see all 1200 pictures from the Star Wars wedding, head over to Justin’s flickrstream.

And sure, Justin does more traditional weddings, too:

So, when you need a wedding photographer who can not just “deal” with your theme wedding, but who’s eagerly plotting how he’s going to photograph your groom’s swashbuckling entrance, or what angle he’s going to shoot your gossamer faerie wings, get in touch with Justin! He’s even got special packages for offbeat couples.

    That kid is adorable! I can’t help but to wonder what made the groom choose to be Admiral Akbar out of from the other characters on Star Wars.

    this wedding ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and here i was worried that my guests would balk at being asked to wear white, ivory, off-white or light champagne and flat shoes for the ladies.) Now I can say…”look. you’ll wear white and like it! glitter, fur, wings and sparkles are totally optional and will be available for your use. Thank you for coming.”
    lololololololol

    This post was linked by Seattle’s The Slog, and some of the comments are cracking me up:

    slave leia bridesmaid dresses ftw. i never get invited to weddings that fun. or lives that fun for that matter.

    Um, I know I’m only revealing what a huge fucking nerd I am with the comment, but Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma are only minor characters in the movies. In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, they’re both very, very important.

    I’ll go hide now.

    …HA! Granted, there are a fair number of “WHAT NERDS!” comments too, but that’s to be expected. :)

    [...] Og klarer du å holde du deg rein og heil til Den Rette kommer, kan du kle deg opp i kvitt som Mon Mothma og gifte deg med admiral Ackbar. Og spise AT-AT Walker-kake. Rare menneskene. [...]

    I kind of love how they turned around the whole “de-veiling” thing on its head.

    And man, that cake is insane. I am so making Ewok cupcakes sometime.
