We're talking movie and TV references, arcade gaming, dinosaur cameos, lightsabers, wands, and dance parties anywhere.
Are YOU doing anything a little different in your own engagement shoot? Let us know about it in the comments!
A movie/TV theme

Elyse Remenowsky
Like this Buffy-inspired shot!
Or Bonnie & Clyde, Where's Waldo, Game of Thrones, or Harry Potter.
Stage an attack
If you've got a local big sculpted animal available, use it!
Channel your inner animal
Or your own animals…
Totally embrace costumes
Tap into a fandom
Stay at home and do YOU
Find a cool spot and DANCE
Or just chill looking pretty with your pooches…
Take a ride
On your motocycle, bike, local horse-drawn carriage, or whatever's around!
Arcade backdrops are RAD

If the guy on the right, in the ‘Betty Clicker Photography’ photo was standing in front of the mountain/rock in the previous ‘Twisted Aisle Weddings’ photo he would disappear in the background! Perfect camo 🙂
My fiancé and I are both musicians. We actually met in college studying audio production. We’re going t be working with a photographer to capture some shots of us at my partner’s place of work: a recording studio.
