Nerdmance… it’ll fog up your specs

Say farewell to holding hands and frolicking into a picturesque sunset because nothing quite says, “I love you” like killing a zombie and braving the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

“Engagement shoots are starting to branch out of traditional norms. Couples are discovering that they don’t need to do the standard or typical. They can do something that really brings out their personality,” said Diana Rush of Diana Rush Lifestyle Photography, who loved working on an Indiana Jones e-session. “If you’re a couple who totally geeks over Star Wars or Star Trek, why not incorporate those elements into an engagement shoot or wedding?

And so if you’re a geek, odds are that cliché and predictable photos with you and your honey posing stiffly against a studio backdrop simply won’t do. Just ask Los Angeles photographer Amanda Rynda who captured couples Ben and Juliana Lee fighting off a zombie– a shoot that quickly infected the web and went viral.

“Love needs that simplicity.  Love is about new beginnings and accepting the heart of person,” said Rush. “When a kid goes to Disneyland, they have magic in their eyes. I think childlike love is the best — it brings freshness into love as well as life. It’s a constant reminder of why your partner is so special and unique.”

So set phasers to love, cause love truly does conquer all. Even zombies.
