As a photographer, I must say that I’m very sad I didn’t think of this first.
Freaking awesome.
August 22, 2011 at 11:22 am
It’s because we are fat, jealous, losers.
August 22, 2011 at 12:54 pm
And talentless. never forget talentless.
August 22, 2011 at 11:52 am
Same here.
Let’s have a convention for us fat, jealous losers who have no ideals of our own.
August 22, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Yes, there was a time I thought I was just a fat jealous loser, but I got myself edumacated and found there was MORE… -signed a fat UGLY jealous loser
August 22, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Do you meeeeaaaannn Tumblr? ;D
October 11, 2011 at 10:02 am
I know where you can buy some.
August 22, 2011 at 11:53 am
Jenny, I know exactly what you mean. I’m feeling seriously depressed for not first coming up with Zombie Apocalypse Wedding/Engagement photos…and considering all the movies and internet memes in the last few years…
damn
August 22, 2011 at 12:25 pm
You know, this could also work for family photos… Dad’s got the shot gun, Mom has a lathe, brother and sister have baseball bats and little Timmy can have a shovel. ::writes down for next family photo::
August 22, 2011 at 12:28 pm
btw “lathe” was supposed to be “lance”. Oh heck just give her a AK47.
August 22, 2011 at 1:37 pm
A lathe would be a terrifying weapon in the right/wrong hands.
August 22, 2011 at 1:47 pm
“Okay, first, construct a rudimentary lathe–”
August 23, 2011 at 8:54 am
I was thinking latte.
August 23, 2011 at 9:02 am
“Daddy would’ve gotten us Uzis.”
August 22, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I’m so doing this for this years Christmas card photo. Only it wil be my daughter and I and my ex as the zombie. This will be the only way I can justify beating him with a shovel.
Now if only there were a way to work my ex mother in law into this…..
August 22, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Tell her it’s a family picture for your daughter and zombies often travel in groups…
August 23, 2011 at 9:12 am
get her really excited by it. Drop hints for months. Have other people lead her to believe zombies are always in pairs.
August 22, 2011 at 3:03 pm
As someone do to be engaged within the year, I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING FOR MY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! Of course, we’ll put our own spin on it but yeah, it’s so going to happen.
August 22, 2011 at 4:39 pm
These pics make me want to get engaged.
August 22, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Damnit! I want a do-over on my engagement pics now!
Though a zombie Christmas might be just as much fun… Hmmm……
August 22, 2011 at 8:39 pm
I read that as zombie Christians. Wait. Hasn’t that been done before?
August 22, 2011 at 4:39 pm
As a married person, I’m sad I didn’t think of it three and a half years ago.
August 23, 2011 at 6:35 pm
I’m still planning on having Zombie Apocalypse wedding photos. Fiancee has promised that we can gender subvert the Army of Darkness movie poster pose with me in a big white dress defending against the horde and him clinging to my leg in terror.
WHICH IS WHY I WILL MARRY HIM.
August 22, 2011 at 10:15 am
Anyone who’s a regular reader of my blog will know exactly WHY I love these so hard I could have a huge filthy zombie nerd orgasm over them.
Also, they look really happy and in love, which is a winner in my book.
August 22, 2011 at 3:30 pm
This is nothing to do with this post.
But, fair regretsians, I must say fairwell.
My internet is being cut off in 31 minutes, and it won’t be back on till thursday at the earliest.
My ife will be bereft without you fat jealous bitches and your whimsicle fuckery.
I will see you when the banishment lifts.
August 22, 2011 at 10:15 am
How do I book her?
August 22, 2011 at 10:15 am
I want to be them.
August 22, 2011 at 11:28 am
I want to go to their wedding.
August 22, 2011 at 12:42 pm
not enough thumbs up for the awesomeness of this comment.
August 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm
Will they be married by a zombie?
Will the highlight of the reception be a Thriller re-enaction?
Will there be brains??? Inquiring minds must know!
August 22, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Inquiring minds will be eaten.
August 22, 2011 at 10:15 am
This couple rules. With a sense of humour and fun like that, the marriage is sure to be awesome for both of them!
August 22, 2011 at 11:35 am
Definitely! Now all the ideas I come up with will be lame compared to this!
August 22, 2011 at 1:53 pm
No kidding!! I married a nerd…but I got one without a sense of humor. How is that possible? A fanboy nerd with no humor? That’s supposed to be one of the things they have goin’ for them. If I suggested something like this, I can’t even imagine how he’d have reacted.
Part of the reason why I’m in the middle of divorcing him now!
If I ever come close enough to even contemplate marriage again, one of my litmus tests will be whether he has sense of humor enough to take rockin’ engagement shots like these!
August 22, 2011 at 10:16 am
Great, now I have to get re-engaged just so I can get some awesome pictures taken. I hope my husband won’t mind. Probably won’t, if he gets to battle zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 10:36 am
I know right? Engagement photos like these almost make it worth putting up with all the wedding bullshit a second time!
August 22, 2011 at 11:50 am
There’s no need to use them just for that. Birthday, anniversary, Christmas card….
August 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm
…and videos too! fiverr here I come!
August 22, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Makes me want to have another baby just so I can have zombie birth announcements!
August 22, 2011 at 10:16 am
ha. ha. ha!! hahahahahhahahaaaaaaa!!! i love it!
August 22, 2011 at 10:16 am
Pshaw! Everyone knows a shotgun is a way better weapon against zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 10:17 am
Double tap.
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
I’d double-tap that.
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
I think you mean Cricket Bat.
August 22, 2011 at 10:33 am
I specifically bought a cricket bat after seeing that movie.
August 22, 2011 at 1:04 pm
So did I! I feel so much less alone.
(I picked the one I did specifically because it has a bit of red on it.)
August 22, 2011 at 12:08 pm
And a Queen cd.
August 23, 2011 at 1:14 am
Dire Straits? Throw it!
August 22, 2011 at 3:22 pm
or a Winchester
August 22, 2011 at 6:01 pm
by a Winchester you mean Sam or Dean, right?
August 23, 2011 at 1:11 am
or just Dean…
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
A shotgun would give that wedding a very different meeting.
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
Hmm, I’m not sure. Reloading is an issue, and what about if you run out of ammo? It’s best to have an edged weapon with decent reach and keep guns for real emergency use.
August 22, 2011 at 10:59 am
I concur. Depending on upper body strength, the shovel could be unwieldy; however, unless you are proficient at firearms, a shot gut might knock you back from the recoil. There is a reason video games always give you a crowbar as your first weapon.
August 22, 2011 at 11:15 am
If you’re weak enough that a shot gun would knock you back (the last time I was at the shooting range, there was a gangly 13 year old girl shooting a shot gun with no problem), no melee weapon will help you. At that point, the rest of your team will use you for zombie bait.
August 22, 2011 at 11:25 am
Plus there’s the noise factor. Shovels are much quieter. And we don’t want to attract the hoards of zombies until I’ve placed all the incendiary devices.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA <– Mad scientist evil laugh TM
August 22, 2011 at 1:51 pm
I’m always concerned about edged weapons, because what if it’s one of those virus-y/contagious zombie apocalypses? Zombie blood flying around getting everywhere could be hazardous.
…Hm, maybe I should buy a full-body latex suit. Might come in handy for the zombie thing, too.
August 22, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I disagree. One attempt too many at slashing through a spine and you likely could find yourself holding a dull useless blade.
August 22, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Forget the shovel. I want a kilij.
August 23, 2011 at 5:16 am
I’m thinking going renaissance on zombies. A mace or morningstar seems ideal to me – you want to destroy that brain pan as fast as possible.
August 22, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Psh. Shotguns are one of the worst weapons against zombies. Unless you know how to actually shoot a gun, it’s pretty much worthless. Besides that, you can and will run out of ammo(especially if this is a zombie apocalypse. In the real world, you can expect to find boxes of ammo littered about), and it is extremely loud, so even if you manage to kill one zombie with it, you will attract 10 more.
The best weapon for zombie survival is the crowbar. It’s multi-use(which you will be thankful for), and a decent sized one will be weighted well enough for you to get a good swing going, and will keep enough distance between you and your enemy. It will never run out of ammo. Its an overall useful tool to have in any survival kit. We keep ours in the trunk of our car.
August 22, 2011 at 12:03 pm
*can’t expect
August 22, 2011 at 3:50 pm
My biggest complaints about shotguns vs. zombies are limited ammo capacity and longer reload time.
August 22, 2011 at 7:10 pm
I don’t know, a crowbar is still pretty close to arm’s length. A shovel at least gives you a few good feet between yourself and your undead foe.
I say the best protection is a good defense – second story apartment with an easily-defended entrance and some nice heavy textbooks to drop down on skulls.
August 23, 2011 at 9:04 am
So that’s what I can do with all my old textbooks – zombie … concussing!
August 22, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Also, if you want a ranged weapon, learn how to make arrows based on things you can find just laying about, and use a bow. Guns are much too loud.
August 23, 2011 at 9:05 am
But with a bow, depending on the draw weight, you’re arm is gonna get tired.. but I suppose THAT works against you for any and all melee weapons too.
August 22, 2011 at 1:33 pm
I love a spirited zombie weapon debate! I also love that there are enough of you with actual opinions on the matter.
August 22, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Gotta be prepared Amazon
August 22, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Have we all forgotten the resourcefulness a machete can bring to the table..? heavy enough to damage by mere impact, (dulling blade) and if the blade is still in tact..well double the fun..
August 22, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Totally. Machetes are excellent weapons against zombies. Paint them black(or buy them pre-painted!) to avoid light reflecting off the blade and attracting zombies. Great for cutting off heads, and clearing a path!
August 23, 2011 at 11:49 am
I’d personally go for a kukri. A long-range weapon would be good too, though… hm. I have a bow in the garage, but I’ve never used it, and I don’t think I have any arrows. I’ll just throw rocks at them, I guess. Or Molotov cocktails. Those work too. In pretty much any situation. Zombie apocalypse? Molotov cocktails! Pirate raid? Molotov cocktails! Bad break-up? Molotov cocktails! British invasion? Molotov cocktails! Molotov cocktails for EVERYBODY!
August 22, 2011 at 10:17 am
Awesome..
August 22, 2011 at 10:17 am
BEST PHOTOS EVER! I think that’s what I’m going to have to do now for my engagement photos!
August 22, 2011 at 10:17 am
that is the most awesome sugarsweet slayerstory I’ve ever seen!
August 22, 2011 at 10:17 am
If I ever get divorced and re-married, I want her to photograph my engagement, wedding, and reception. But do I have to provide my own zombies?
August 22, 2011 at 11:33 am
I’m sure there are plenty of out-of-work actors willing to do a zombie photo gig. I know several!
Especially in Michigan right now. Thank you, Gov. Stupid.
/end of rant
August 22, 2011 at 11:54 am
Oh my gosh, I’m an actor in Michigan and I can’t tell you how pissed off I am at Snyder. He’s destroying the very real potential of our state as a film hotspot. It’s so frustrating.

OMG Love it.
Seeing as the fella popped the question yesterday the timing is perfect! haha!
August 22, 2011 at 10:26 am
Congratulations!
August 22, 2011 at 10:29 am
Congrats! I hope everything goes well for you.
And on the wedding day proper, I reccommend booze. I started drinking while I was getting squeezed into my dress, and it helped me slip into a fugue state where I felt no fear.
August 22, 2011 at 11:59 am
My mom fed me valium. I love my mom. My whole pre-wedding madness, wedding and reception went by in this blissful, happy haze.
August 22, 2011 at 12:13 pm
And eat something beforehand, because you’ll never get to at the reception!
August 22, 2011 at 10:32 am
Better nix those plans for a hobo wedding, though!
August 22, 2011 at 10:46 am
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
August 22, 2011 at 11:29 am
We just got engaged yesterday, too!!! Yay engagement twins!
Congratulations!
August 22, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Congratulations to both of you!
If we all bring coleslaw and cupcakes, are we all invited?
August 22, 2011 at 6:45 pm
We’ll all be awaiting our invites! Congrats from another Zombie lover/Nerd.
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
But a shovel is up close and personal. I love these!
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
Saw this linked on Fark.com a few days ago, actually. I have to echo the comment of another user who said, “These pictures make me wish I had thought of it first.” Bravo to the couple, though.
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
My reaction -
“Oh wow how sweet – wait, what? HAHAHAHAHA~!!!” And my cat ran away as I had hysterics. Awesome photos!
August 22, 2011 at 1:56 pm
That photo shoot had a beautifully slow-dawning punchline didn’t it? I started scrolling down expecting something regrettable or overly sappy, which made the eventual zombie all the sweeter.
August 24, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Yes, hooray for the slow punchline! When I first saw the guy in the background, my first thought was, “OMG, is there a flasher in their engagement photos???” Then the beautiful reveal had me shaking with laughter!
Although, I could go for engagement photos with a flasher in the background, too.
August 22, 2011 at 10:18 am
I want to be engaged and kill zombies with a shovel too!
August 22, 2011 at 10:19 am
I LOVE THIS!
August 22, 2011 at 10:19 am
The only reason I would ever get engaged would be so I could take photos like these. And also to get laid more regularly.
August 22, 2011 at 11:00 am
LOL, for a second there I thought you said you’d be getting laid more because you were getting married. Oh wow, that’s a good one!
August 22, 2011 at 3:21 pm
Yeah, getting married doesn’t exactly guarantee that… esp for the guy.
Old joke:
You ever hear of the miracle food that absolutely kills a woman’s sex drive?
It’s called wedding cake.
August 22, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Sorry, mistyped that. I meant for the purpose of consistently denying my husband, which is just as good as sex to me…
August 22, 2011 at 10:19 am
Coolest thing I have seen in Ages!! I don’t think my life will feel complete until I get a set of my own!
August 22, 2011 at 10:19 am
I was looking and wondering if this site was going to turn cupcakey and advertise non-fuckery, and then along came the zombie. YAY! Awesomesauce is going on!
August 22, 2011 at 11:02 am
And let’s show some love for the zombie talent. kudos!
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
The first picture the zombie shows up in is the best photobomb ever.
August 22, 2011 at 11:42 am
I know, right?
As I was scrolling down on my phone I was all like “OH HELL YEAH!”
Hahaahaha!
August 22, 2011 at 12:42 pm
I thought it was photoshopped onto a “real” photo at first!
August 22, 2011 at 3:24 pm
I thought at first that this was the usual type of post, not a tip of the hat. When first I saw the Zombie I thought it was a photobomb and I was looking to see if he could be cropped or ‘shopped out.
Then I saw him closer and I was all “THAT IS SOOOO F-ING COOL!!!!”
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
“If anyone objects to this union, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace…”
“BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAINSSSSSSSSSSSS”
“Damn it, Janet! Not again!”
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
Totally expected some wacky snark. Did not expect full of awesome. Made my morning.
August 22, 2011 at 2:54 pm
For the first few photos, I kept thinking “These photos are beautiful, where the hell is the fuckery?” And then the first zombie photo appeared. Now I think they’re beautiful and all kinds of fabulous!
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
This will so go with the zombie wedding cake we are planning on getting. If you think I am kidding, you are wrong, dead wrong.
August 22, 2011 at 10:23 am
Are you an OBB by any chance? If you aren;t, you should be. The offbeatbride girls would really get a kick out of a zombie cake.
August 22, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Also, APracticalWedding.com. Motto there is basically do what you want, and none of the WIC shit you don’t, don’t feel bad about it, then have an awesome marriage which is the whole point of the wedding.
August 22, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I saw the cake online once and it was AWESOME. Pretty much a traditional wedding cake, but the bride and groom at the top are wielding chainsaws while zombies climb up the sides dripping blood.
August 22, 2011 at 12:23 pm
I love your pic…Ms. Archer!
August 22, 2011 at 10:20 am
They’re engagement pics? AMAZING.
O
(I liked it, so I put a ring on it).
August 22, 2011 at 10:22 am
The guy in this one doesn’t look too happy about the situation until after they kill the zombie. However, I love this to death. Kind of reminds me of how much fun my husband and I have. Although for our engagement we only killed a bunch of hurricanes for Mardi Gras in the French Quarter and then saw zombies and pink elephants too.
August 22, 2011 at 11:29 am
Well, he probably knew that they were in prime zombie territory. But, his beautiful bride loved the scenery, and he just could not break her heart by denying her.
August 22, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Oh yes, I love it when he uses those three little words. “anything you want”
August 22, 2011 at 10:22 am
Awesome! That’s one way to pare down your wedding guest list.
August 22, 2011 at 10:23 am
That is goddamned awesome. And it looks like they didn’t even spill their wine while taking out the brain eater. These are my kinda people.
August 22, 2011 at 10:24 am
Brilliant! I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures!
August 22, 2011 at 10:24 am
OMG! This just made my day!
Zombie-killing shovel. Never leave home without it.
August 22, 2011 at 10:25 am
I love when a zombie attacks on the exact day I brought along the shovel and bowie knife.
August 22, 2011 at 10:30 am
It’s really considerate of them.
August 22, 2011 at 10:25 am
Apparently this is becoming a trend. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you.
August 22, 2011 at 10:53 am
That one is trying WAY too hard.
August 22, 2011 at 11:01 am
That is too much!
August 22, 2011 at 11:26 am
I didn’t know there WAS such a thing when it comes to zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 11:57 am
For all that work they could have just busted out a video camera.
August 22, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Agreed. Amanda’s shots are beautiful right from the start and they wait until you really get into them before hitting you with the first zombie…you really have to look at it for a couple of seconds before you just say in your head “oh well, must be a” then you go to the next pic and it becomes obvious what’s happening. The slow build is what makes it great.
August 22, 2011 at 2:01 pm
“The slow build is what makes it great.”
She certainly knows how to appeal to a mostly-female audience don’t she?
August 22, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Agreed.
August 22, 2011 at 12:45 pm
Yes, I agree. There is a fine art to capturing the emotion/action and being subtle about it.
August 22, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I agree. I like the simplicity of Amanda’s photos. The others just look like stills from a b movie.
August 22, 2011 at 4:07 pm
putting on my movie trailer voice
In a time besiged by undead fauxbos, the only things these two newlyweds have are their love and heavy artillery. Can they make it out alive AND survive the nation’s divorce rate? Coming to theaters this summer — ‘Till Undeath Do Us Part.
August 22, 2011 at 11:33 am
The bride is perfect in this role. The groom, not so much. I agree that it’s over the top, but I bet they had a blast trashing the dress that way.
August 22, 2011 at 12:41 pm
I like both sets of pics, but the ones posted here are better imo.
August 23, 2011 at 9:09 am
I agree, Trying too hard, but still awesome. I mean. A lot of planning went into that one!

Just you, junior.
August 22, 2011 at 11:58 am
And I say this as someone who is absolutely sick and fucking tired of zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 2:02 pm
True! Never thought I’d say this about a zombie, but this is pretty fresh.
August 22, 2011 at 11:51 am
You are alone in your failure to appreciate Love in the Time of the Zombocalypse.
August 22, 2011 at 12:02 pm
No Wonderface, you are not alone. But just to be safe I’ve got Slim Whitman on at full blast, that keeps everything away…
August 22, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Slim Whitman. Wow. That takes me back…to those record collections sold on daytime television during reruns of 1950s sitcoms. I always wondered if that man ever sold a record in the stores or if his entire career was established on direct marketing.
August 22, 2011 at 2:46 pm
You forgot his big comeback during the great martian infestation. He obviously annoys these pests too, ‘cos there’s none around here.
August 22, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Mars Attacks!
August 22, 2011 at 12:07 pm
I think this is awesome–bodes very well for a fun-filled wedding and a life filled with a lot of love.
Unlike Bronc, I’m not sick of zombies because I’ve always hated them! Except for Reginald Shoe on Discworld and he’s a laywer.
August 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Reg Shoe isn’t the lawyer. Mr Slant is the Lawyer. Reg Shoe is the undead rights activist/occasional watch member.
Pratchett Nerd Alert.
August 22, 2011 at 1:27 pm
I would offer to marry you both, except that when the two of you get sick of my shit, I’ll be outnumbered and shortly thereafter dead for the insurance money.
Oh, what the hell. Just make sure at my funeral, there’s a sign on my chest that says, “I ATEN’T DEAD”.
August 22, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Crease and Resist, you can’t get married; you gotta be the mai– uh, the cro– uh, the Other one.
August 22, 2011 at 2:14 pm
I don’t have quite the (ex-)husband collection to be the other one, but I’m working on it.
August 23, 2011 at 9:10 am
PRATCHETT NERD FOR THE WIN. *coughs* I named my nook Greebo.. and my cat nearly got named the same but he wasn’t the right color. I also own Nanny Ogg’s Cook Book…
August 22, 2011 at 2:06 pm
@Anninyn, I am SO ashamed of myself. Thanks for fixing me (without even using headology). Oh, and @Crease and Desist? No worries. We’ll stand around and sing about hedegehogs until you recover!
August 22, 2011 at 2:54 pm
That poor hedgehog and his lonely prostate!

Your comment? Yes. The pictures? No.
August 22, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Nope.
August 22, 2011 at 10:27 am
You guys, this is really insensitive. I mean, think about all the people who grew up during the zombie apocalypse. I’m sure they wouldn’t find these pictures so funny.
August 22, 2011 at 10:38 am
I agree! What kind of idiot would think a zombie attack is romantic and quaint?! My grandmother grew up during the Great Zombie Attacks of the 1920s and there were zombie in her engagement photos not because it was quirky or fun but because her entire family had been turned into mindless brain munching monsters. These people need to take a step back and acknowledge the suffering that many people have endured at the hands of real zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 10:47 am
The worst, though, is that they shredded up real vintage burial clothing and shrouds to make this. They really just don’t get what the now-undead had to go through back then.
It’s the most vivist thing I’ve seen in ages.
August 22, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Vivist indeed; so much alive-privilege right now.
August 22, 2011 at 2:17 pm
I don’t mean to scold, but “vivist” has become a perjorative term lately. The neutral version these days is “vitally-abled-ist”.
August 22, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Oh whatevs, C&R. Adding the “d” to “abled” proves just how deeply-rooted your antiquated privileged notions run. But don’t tell me. “Some of your best friends are alive”, right?
I don’t even know why I’m bothering with this discussion with you. Why don’t you just log off, BREATHER.
August 22, 2011 at 11:41 am
My thoughts exactly! When I hacked my zombie great-grandmother’s head off at my wedding to save myself, I know I wasn’t smiling. There were only half a dozen survivors, and I can’t even look at the photos. The photographer was one of the victims, and his style really changed halfway through the ceremony. This is just cruel.
August 22, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Yeah, but they have witches in “Harry Potter.” So by my unassailable logic, that makes this perfectly okay.
August 22, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Well, I for one can’t argue with that, mainly because I’m so confused.
August 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who found this whole concept offensive. These days, at least on the weekends, I’m only a drink or two away from being undead myself. When you think about how quickly the zombie apocalypse could become a reality today, there’s no reason a self-respecting member of the human race should even consider this.
It’s called The Serpent and the Rainbow, kids. Look it up and have some respect.
August 22, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Yes, “They’re coming to get you Barbara” Barbara must be having nightmares with this rampant insensitivity.
August 22, 2011 at 10:27 am
That is full of awesome. Not only are the pictures themselves good, but to have a zombie try and ruin it, and the couple successfully fend it off, as part of the theme for the pictures? Sheer brilliance.
I wish I’d thought of that, too. I wonder if I could advertise in that vein around here… I know lots of people who like zombie-killing. Hmm….. *ponder* Why settle it at engagement photos? Zombies at sporting events! At cosplay photo-shoots! Maybe even a zombie in the furniture store.
August 22, 2011 at 10:28 am
Ma girl looks beautiful in her ruffly yellow dress, and hardcore badass wielding that shovel. I heart her. And Geek-Chic Groom looks like he knows how to use his… ahem… big ol’ knife pretty well, too. I predict a long and happy union.
August 22, 2011 at 10:29 am
Oooh, when I get engaged I totally want to do this… with a Dalek. I just have to find a Doctor Who-loving man and, you know, fall in love and all that junk first. Oh, jeez. I’m so excited now.
August 22, 2011 at 10:31 am
Can I be there? Even as a random person who gets zapped by the Dalek? Because that would be freaking awesome.
August 22, 2011 at 10:38 am

August 22, 2011 at 12:05 pm
LOL @ “centurion costume”
Whether you mean Roman or Cylon, it speaks volumes
August 22, 2011 at 12:13 pm
“Roman or Cylon”? I guess you didn’t see the last Doctor Who Christmas special.
August 22, 2011 at 10:59 am
This should be the dance at your wedding. ;D
August 22, 2011 at 12:27 pm
That’s the SHIT!
August 22, 2011 at 11:00 am
“Is that your manipulator arm, or are you just happy to see me?”
August 22, 2011 at 11:38 am
Oh. My. God. Yes!
August 22, 2011 at 11:43 am
August 22, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Anonimoose, that is FANTASTIC!
August 22, 2011 at 1:49 pm
K-9 ringbearer. Kang flower girls (red on the bride’s side, blue on the groom’s side, and for Rassilon’s sake don’t let them mingle!) Sontaran ushers, because a solicitous Sontaran is a mind-bending paradox.
Bride dresses as Leela, groom as Andred. (Alternate: Zoe and Jamie, if the bride likes men in kilts and doesn’t mind dressing as a screamer.) The rest of the wedding party dresses as the Gallifreyan High Council.
Officiant dresses as Tom Baker, unless the actual Christopher Eccleston is available to give his “but look at you lot!” speech. Cake is a LIFE SIZED EDIBLE TARDIS.
Not that I’ve given this any thought.
August 22, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I love you. I want to divorce my husband just so I can marry you and have this wedding.
August 22, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Okay, but you have to write the script for the engagement photos. I’ll have my hands full knitting the officiant’s scarf and trying to lay hands on a Janus thorn.
August 22, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Just…on our honeymoon, please tell me to “Prepare for Maximum Deletion.”
Afterwards, you may tell me I’m “FANTASTIC” in the appropriate Ecclestonian voice.
Then, we’ll get on with the wibbly-wobbly AND the timey-wimey.
August 22, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Deal, but only if we go to Barcelona for the honeymoon.
August 22, 2011 at 6:02 pm
I love you forever. Just sayin’.
August 23, 2011 at 10:02 am
Meeting a solicitous Sontaran would make me think he was going to bust out the epic lactation at any moment.
Can never, ever forget that. It was a thing of wonder.
August 23, 2011 at 5:42 pm
I’m so inexpressibly happy someone caught that!
August 22, 2011 at 10:30 am
I’m not sure what it says about me that my second thought on seeing these (right after ‘That’s awesome!’) was ‘Why did they bring a shovel along on their picnic?’
August 22, 2011 at 10:35 am
What, you don’t? I always take shovels along to picnics,
in case I need to bury the evidenceplant, um, a tree. Or something.August 22, 2011 at 10:37 am
Upon reflection, she wondered just what would have happened if she said “No!”.
August 22, 2011 at 10:30 am
Yeah, the guy is a bit stiff as an actor, but you know he’s adorable because he did this, so love him anyway.
My problem is that I can’t imagine why they’d have a shovel on a picnic. Nor whatever kinda scythey thing he’s got. The shot where she whacks the zombie with the wine bottle makes sense.
And points for an extremely well done zombie.
August 22, 2011 at 4:49 pm
I’ll give you a hint. That picnic site doesn’t look like it’s too close to a bathroom.
August 23, 2011 at 10:08 am
The expressions on their faces in the photo where they turn around and see the zombie are horrified, but they don’t look like people encountering a zombie for the first time. This zombie isn’t particularly gross-looking, so someone not familiar with the reality of the zombie apocalypse would probably not react as productively as these two do – there’d be more hesitation to fight back.
My guess is that this takes place in a time when the zombie infestation is pretty much under control, and they didn’t really expect to run into one. But then the bride’s mother (or the groom’s) insisted that they take a shovel and a knife and whatnot, and these two would have rolled their eyes and gone “ugh, Mom is so old fashioned, with her zombie preparedness,” but they would have done it anyway just to be tactful. And then it turns out mom was right, and she’ll gloat forever about how she saved their lives/engagement.
Yeah, I…I kind of thought about that too much.
August 22, 2011 at 10:31 am
This is glorious. I swear I’m going to have to find someone on my FB friends list to convince to get engaged so we can do this. I dressed up in full zombie regalia for a friend’s Shaun of the Dead party a few years back (I threw it for him) and I swear I would do zombie makeup every day if there was any sort of a vague excuse for it.
August 22, 2011 at 10:37 am
There just aren’t enough words in the English language to convey just how much I love these photos:-D Does she only do zombie invasion or is alien or pirate attack an option? Can you incorporate famous battles and does it have to just be engagement photos? I’d really REALLY be interested in baptism photos commemorating Moses floating down the river and arriving at Pharoah’s palace. No, seriously!
August 22, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Great idea about the baptism!
August 22, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Now I want an excuse for a series of undead space-pirate attack photos.
August 22, 2011 at 2:48 pm
Regretsians don’t need no stinkin’ excuses!
August 22, 2011 at 4:57 pm
August 22, 2011 at 10:39 am
I love that the groom is still casually holding his glass of wine while going in for the stab. No need to waste perfectly good alcohol I suppose. Even during a zombie apocolypse.
August 22, 2011 at 5:23 pm
That alone gets him 2 snaps up in Z formation.
August 22, 2011 at 10:40 am
YES.
I HATE engagement photoshoots for the fact that they’re so predictable. I love that this couple wanted to do something like this – and that the photographer went along. Just utter, total WIN all around.
I’m gonna give her a follow, just for that.
August 22, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Waaaaaay back in 1980, my fiance (now my husband) and I wanted to wear jeans and flannel shirts in our engagement photos. Two photographers politely turned us down – I guess they were afraid of sullying their small-town portfolios. We finally got the portraits done at a edgy, avant-garde Sears portrait studio.
[/getoffmylawn]
August 22, 2011 at 10:43 am
I think I have to get engaged to my husband again so she can do our photos. Or maybe, since we didn’t bother with engagement pics the first time around, she can just do 10th anniversary engagement pics. Our kids can be the zombies. They can wind up devouring us. Oh dear god I WAHHNT it.
August 22, 2011 at 1:54 pm
“Our kids can be the zombies. They can wind up devouring us.” How uncomfortably allegorical!
August 22, 2011 at 2:14 pm
“Cooooolllllege fuuuuunds…”
August 22, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Instead of Braaaaaaaaaaaaains, they’ll demand every second of your Tiiiiiiiime.
Really, the kids as zombies? Scarily fitting, says this mom of 3.
August 22, 2011 at 10:51 am
I got to the fourth picture and was all WUT. Then realized it was a zombie and they were to SLAY IT and it became AMAZING. Best engagement pictures EVER.
August 22, 2011 at 10:53 am
I’m going to have to seriously reconsider who I’ll book my engagement photos with, even if it means losing a family discount.
August 22, 2011 at 10:53 am
When my friends packed a shovel for their wedding picnic, I thought they were crazy, but it all makes sense now.
August 22, 2011 at 10:59 am
I love this so much. Holy shit. There are a few nice one, and then there is a zombie, then ZOMG BATTLE!

Why does straights getting married make you nauseous?
As long as it’s for all the right reasons, who cares if they’re straight, G/L, or amoeba?
August 22, 2011 at 2:16 pm
G Val, I’m disgusted.
Marriage should be between one amoeba and itself.
August 22, 2011 at 4:56 pm
I’ve always said that if I ever reproduce at all, it’ll be by mitosis.
August 22, 2011 at 11:01 am
Almost makes me want to get married again….
August 22, 2011 at 11:01 am
I’d go straight just to marry the awesome chick who would want these as her engagement pics!
August 22, 2011 at 11:44 am
Why ruin a good thing? Just find the right guy!
August 22, 2011 at 12:23 pm
HOLY SHIT! Is your avatar a rainbow pissing horse? Where have you been all my life?
August 22, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Fighting off zombies, waiting for you to get there so they could take a picture, obviously.
August 22, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Dude, just move to an elightened jurisdiction and marry yourself a hot, zombie-killing man. I’m Fer It!
August 22, 2011 at 11:17 am
This makes me want to get engaged. I will show this to my sweetie ASAP.
However, I’m afraid he might prefer to be the zombie. This will require some minor changes in the ending shot.
August 22, 2011 at 1:44 pm
How about flipping it—you and he are both zombies in love…and a living, breathing person tries to attack?
August 22, 2011 at 11:18 am
Does this mean you are looking at wedding photographers April, ie the wedding of the century (so far) is inching closer?
August 22, 2011 at 11:23 am
No. I don’t think we’re going to have a wedding. If we do, it will be teeny tiny.
August 22, 2011 at 11:37 am
I thought you were married already. Now it comes out that you and Bronc are living in SIN. This explains a lot, she-satan.
August 22, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Since there’s the two of them living in sin, in my mind they are now an open-faced Satan Sandwich.
August 22, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Enjoy hell, devils.
August 22, 2011 at 11:38 am
Crap, I meant to thumbs up. Make that +1 a +3!
August 22, 2011 at 11:56 am
Teeny tiny can be good. Everyone gets more cake that way.
August 22, 2011 at 12:45 pm
Helen, if you do have a wedding, whatever you do, pick a really cool theme. There is this site called Regretsy that recently took some sad hipsters to task because of their hobo theme. Things got kind of ugly. The shit hit the fan and splattered all over their 100 year old patchwork table cloths.
August 22, 2011 at 1:59 pm
“Helen Killer and Bronc Drywall were joined in matrimony today. The twelve invited attendees were quickly overwhelmed by a screaming horde of over 100,000 fans of Helen’s crafting blog. Helen will be auctioning the ‘presents’ left behind by the wedding crashers, and all proceeds will go to charity, minus the cost of the extensive property damage.”
Helen, Helen. Why do you want to do this the hard way?
August 22, 2011 at 5:00 pm
I have a friend with a traffic helicopter. We can chase them from their house to the courthouse to their honeymoon.
August 22, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Teeny tiny, as in only 100,000 of your closest stalk… uh, friends, amirite?
August 22, 2011 at 5:52 pm
What our hostess neglects to mention is that the entertainment will be provided by Dancing Dror, Towel Mike, El Erico, Boxer Aladdin, Yours Truly, and any other scantily-clad, kilted, cam-friendly man-candy.
… at which point, the stampede C&R predicts is pretty much unavoidable, I fear.
Bronc, make sure to bring your shovel, because the womenfolk may get het up to a degree that even Helen’s ample cat-wrangling skills may prove insufficient.
August 22, 2011 at 11:25 am
someone propose to me so I can hire this photog.
We don’t even have to follow throug with the wedding…unless the photo will also do this to the reception guests.
August 22, 2011 at 12:13 pm
We may have to have a long, drawn-out conversation with my wife first, but I’m game!
August 22, 2011 at 11:29 am
best part is that the guy holds on to his wine like a boss all throughout.

WINNING AT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Wait, I’m on the wrong site.
August 22, 2011 at 11:38 am
This has ruined engagement photos for me. Now when fellow photographers post links to their latest shoot I am going to be looking for the zombie greatness in them. I would photograph people if Zombies were involved. As it is I just feel like a zombie when I have to photograph people.
August 22, 2011 at 11:39 am
Damn zombies and their photobombing!
August 22, 2011 at 11:39 am
Aw. I love happy endings.
August 22, 2011 at 11:41 am
The only thing that would make this better?
Hobo zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 11:48 am
I was gonna say…it would be hilarious if a hobo came outta the woods but you got this!
August 22, 2011 at 11:48 am
Aren’t all zombies hobos? I mean, it’s not like they’re paying rent or mortgage anywhere. Just shuffling about if they’re slow zombies and rampaging madly if they the fast variety.
August 22, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Every day, they’re shufflin’.
August 22, 2011 at 11:42 am
This is my guy (he was in a short zombie movie). Just wanted to add to the zombie love!
August 22, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Thanks for sharing! He proves that a little effort goes a long way. I don’t know why more zombies are so scraggly and don’t have well-trimmed beards and moustaches. It’s not as if the hair is going to keep growing, right?
August 22, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Haha! In this movie, the people pretty much became zombies right after they were bit by one, so yeah, he was still rockin’ that morning’s shave.
August 22, 2011 at 11:44 am
At first I thought Bronc had used his photoshop powers to add the zombie in. I love this idea. I also love how I can justify reading every single comment in this post but apparently not the cases I have to read for my assignment due in a bout 4hrs. Its 4.43 am here and I think I would make a good zombie if anyone is looking to recreate this magic.
August 22, 2011 at 11:48 am
Adorable couple, beautiful setting, and zombies. What more could a geek ask for?
August 22, 2011 at 12:26 pm
… all the brides maids to be ninjas and all the groomsmen to be pirates?
August 22, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Thatd be a mess. Seriously, Pirates and Ninjas have a long standing war. And then the raping and pilaging…
August 22, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Eh, what kind of groomsman doesn’t expect to limp away from the wedding with a few ninja stars in him?
August 22, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Yar, only limpin’ we be doin’ is de limpin’ o’a pint!
August 22, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Just remember:
Pillage *first*, THEN burn.
August 22, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Whoops!
August 22, 2011 at 2:06 pm
A proto-posthumanist wedding conducted via IRC, in which the couple exchange passwords?
August 22, 2011 at 2:13 pm
IRC is still a thing?
August 22, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Damn kids! Get offa my Internet!
August 22, 2011 at 2:21 pm
I wish I was a kid! *sob*
August 22, 2011 at 11:07 pm
You better believe it, braddah! I still rp on IRC! Crease’s idea is total awesomesauce, because after the exchange of passwords, the reception is roleplaying the zombie apocalypse!
August 22, 2011 at 11:53 am
This is one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen
August 22, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Oh Amanda Rynda, you had me at BRAINSSSSSS
August 22, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Awesome idea for engagement photos!
With that kind of a sense of humor you know they’re going to have a great life together.
August 22, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Can’t wait to see their wedding photos…and new baby photos.
August 22, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Dune-themed baby book! Let’s hope they have a girl.
August 22, 2011 at 5:03 pm
As long as he doesn’t dress up like Marlon Brando and place her in a teensy spaceship.
Oh, no, wait. That would be pretty cool.
August 22, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Oh my gods. That almost makes this clusterfuck of a day tolerable. Now that I know that there is indeed some awesomeness left in the world, I don’t have to stick my head in the oven when I get home. Today, anyway.
Thanks Regretsy!
August 22, 2011 at 12:25 pm
You should call Sylvia Plath with this good news… oh wait…
August 22, 2011 at 1:21 pm
You got my reference
If Regretsy had existed in the 60′s I’d bet you Sylvia Plath would be alive today.
August 22, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Too soon.
August 22, 2011 at 12:09 pm
Fucking. Awesome.
August 22, 2011 at 12:12 pm
omfg! awesome! lol!
August 22, 2011 at 12:16 pm
I also love that, in the last shot, you can see through her dress and she has an adorable butt.
August 22, 2011 at 1:36 pm
It’s kind of nice, isn’t it?
August 22, 2011 at 2:58 pm
yea, verily, yea!
August 22, 2011 at 2:21 pm
*scrolls back up*
August 22, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Fuuuuuck, that’s amazing!!
August 22, 2011 at 12:31 pm
this is, of course, fabulous. But how are they going to top this? What will happen at the wedding? More zombies? Vampires? Rats of Unusal Size?
And what about the birthing pictures? Are they going to go for Farscape birth? (I was going to also suggest “Conan”, but the mother doesn’t survive that battle)
August 22, 2011 at 1:44 pm
CRRRROOOOOM!
August 22, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.
AHAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
August 22, 2011 at 12:43 pm
I want to do this for our wedding! We want a fun one, so what better way to set the tone than silly zombie killing pictures!!!
But can I hunt Twilight vamps instead? They’d be easy to spot in a large meadow with their sparkly skin and all…
August 22, 2011 at 11:24 pm
And they bring their own baseball bats, so you can just start waling away on them as soon as you arrive.
August 22, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Hehe.. these are great. I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet- but all I noticed in the 3rd to last photo is that the zombie got a great upskirt view before meeting his doom.
August 22, 2011 at 12:53 pm
Those two are having a great time! Love it!
August 22, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Notice that through it all, he’s still holding the glass.
August 22, 2011 at 1:20 pm
JEEZ, you guys. Making fun of zombie attacks is SO NOT COOL. Zombie attacks are serious business. Regretsy, you’ve gone over the line!
August 22, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Nothing says I love you like mutual zombie homocide.
Actually, is killing a zombie homocide? I mean, I know if it enter’s your home its called self-defense. But in a field, isnt that public domain? Zombie’s are still the victims of senseless hate crimes.
Am I rambling?
August 22, 2011 at 1:33 pm
One more thing, where’d the survival knife and shovel come from? Are they cartoon characters? did they just pull them out from behind their backs? Im so confused!
August 22, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Every picnic I’ve ever gone on I’ve packed a blanket, bug spray, sunscreen, survival knife, shovel, and small flame-thrower, just to be sure.
August 22, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Whoops, I didnt even notice the picnic set-up. I thought they were just in a field. I think my eyes are turning against me.
August 22, 2011 at 2:51 pm
I’m currently putting together my survival bag. Once it’s complete I’ll take it everywhere with me. Which, as it includes a machete, may get me in trouble with the law.
August 22, 2011 at 6:06 pm
A survival bag is a great tool, and I highly advise one. Im just lazy and hate carrying what society has deemed a murse(man-purse). So I carry a pocket knife and multi-tool(no inuendo intended). Just look at Les Stroud, he’s like friggin MacGuyver.
August 23, 2011 at 10:17 am
Just make sure it’s a quality multi-tool with a sharp blade. You don’t want to have to cut your arm off with a cheap, dull Chinese knockoff.
August 22, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Always gotta be prepared, even on a picnic.
Personally I always bring a dagger and a few throwing knives. Yknow, in case a random bandit or rat comes at me.
August 22, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Those must be some nasty rats.
August 22, 2011 at 4:35 pm
They are until you get to level…I dunno, 5.
After that they’re just annoying.
Now those cliff racers, they never leave me the hell alone.
August 22, 2011 at 7:55 pm
I wondered the same thing. You cant murder someone who is already dead so it would be dealing with a corpse or something like that.
Lesson kiddies: do not deal with corpses, they will only rip you(r head) off.
August 22, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Now…if some Etsy craftard could just design an engagement ring with a zombie head on it we could call it ZombiePunk.
August 22, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Dang, those are the BEST EVER. Just no way to top them. Unless the affianced were toe zombies, attacking a helpless guy.
August 22, 2011 at 2:16 pm
This almost makes me want to get married again.
August 22, 2011 at 2:18 pm

Shit. I had my cousin take my engagment and wedding photos. Can I have a do over?
August 22, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Oh my, what a wicked set! I was waiting for the lame and when I got to the first photo with the zombie I thought, “oh there it is! Photobombed!” And then I scrolled down and realised the set up so I went back to the start again to enjoy this completely. What a brilliant idea!

Don’t get me wrong here because I love the pics, but why do people have engagement photos taken? I didn’t even know this was a thing. Or that it’s been a thing. Engagement photos would never have occurred to me. *sighs* I just not normal, am I?

*I’m
August 22, 2011 at 3:20 pm
There, there. I had no idea people did this either. I frankly don’t see the point, but these are awesome.

I just recently got engaged. All of my recently married friends and family members took engagement photos of themselves frolicking through meadows. I’m convinced that the only reason they exist is so you can post them on facebook, and say, “See, look how in LOVE we are! We’re kissing! In a fucking meadow! That is a lot of love.”
My fiance and I are not the frolicking in a meadow type. These zombie photos may make me change my mind…
August 22, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Better if you post the pictures of yourselves fucking in a kissing meadow?
August 22, 2011 at 3:21 pm
These photos just drip epic.
August 22, 2011 at 6:19 pm
At the least, ooze and seep.

It won’t help. All wedding planners are Zombies.
August 22, 2011 at 3:55 pm
Is it just me, or did anyone else wonder why he’s carrying a survival/combat knife and why she’s carrying a shovel to a romantic picnic? They were surprised by the zombie…so it’s not like they EXPECTED a zombie. Hmmm… =)
August 22, 2011 at 4:48 pm
I’m guessing that the zombie outbreak has occurred, and they were just traveling prepared. Either that or they planned to hunt for wild boar and truffles after the photo shoot.

If the shoot had included pics of them pulling the aforementioned tools out of their respective asses, I would be just as — if not more — enchanted.

After months of lurking I finally registered just so I can say that I absolutely love love love this (and I don’t even like zombies). The goatse and the hair doily made me gag and kept me coming back for more grossness, but I didn’t get the urge to comment, probably because it’s hard to comment when you’re hugging the toilet. This, however, is completely awesome- it’s cute, well-done, and so fun! I predict that those two are going to have an awesome marriage- the couple who laughs together stays (and slays) together!

Precious! Cute couple!

damn it TOO much. I don’t think enough.
August 22, 2011 at 4:30 pm
They should have an absolutely normal wedding just to fuck with people. These photos are enough!
August 22, 2011 at 4:34 pm
I know it’s supposed to be a zombie, but it kind of looks like they’re shovel-whipping Edward Cullen. A plus if you ask me…
August 25, 2011 at 9:58 am
Mmkay, thank goodness…I thought I was going crazy. After scrolling past 92 comments I couldn’t believe nobody other than me thought the zombie looked exactly like Edward Cullen…
August 22, 2011 at 4:49 pm
If i hadn’t been such a dead beat and gotten married on the fly at a court house with no pictures to speak of, i totally would have loved something like this. Some people have all the good ideas. ZOMBIES FTB!!!
August 22, 2011 at 4:53 pm
i just laughed so hard i think i peed a little bit. my dogs are very confused.
this is fucking amazing!

That is freakin’ awesome.
I hate her so much for not showing me this six years ago when *I* got married.
I wonder if she does Christmas cards.
August 22, 2011 at 5:10 pm
Love the zombies!
August 22, 2011 at 5:47 pm
That is going to be the best wedding EVER!
August 22, 2011 at 5:49 pm
What I love about this is that not only is it an amazing set-up and surprise, and they’re having such fun with it, too, but that these are wonderful engagement photos all on their own too.
They can send the tame ones to their family (at least the people lacking a sense of humor) and keep the set for themselves. Win-win.

You’re seeing other sites?? I can’t believe this…I..I don’t know what to say. This is absolutely not what I expected…especially on our zombie engagement post! *breaks down sobbing*
August 22, 2011 at 8:24 pm
My god. I want my wedding/engagement/life to be that cool.
[cue fat jealous loser tiniest violin]
August 22, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Holy Mother of Goddess! I know what I want my wedding photos to look like now! That’s bloody AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Though, I might need a “double tap” photo in there! ^_^
August 22, 2011 at 10:19 pm
I wish we had both loved zombies (I guess hubby always did) as much when we got married as we do now! These are the most amazing fucking pictures I’ve seen, ever.
I’m thinking this is perfect if we decide to have a party for our 20th in a few years…
August 22, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Cause there’s no better way to start your life off as a couple than taking out a zombie together…
August 23, 2011 at 8:57 am
Strength in solidarity!
August 22, 2011 at 11:13 pm
God I love this idea! I totally want this photographer at our 10th anniversary vow renewal – zombie massacre on the beach! What better way to solidify a marriage than to annihilate the undead?!
August 22, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something reanimated.
August 23, 2011 at 9:13 am
I think I’ll skip the reanimated part!
August 22, 2011 at 11:37 pm
I saw these on Ravelry the other day and I thought they were awesome. I love the idea, so cute and nerdy awesome. I’m jealous that I had boring pics now. I guess I need to make up for it next year for our 10 year anniversary.
Thanks for sharing these.
August 23, 2011 at 10:20 am
At least they killed the zombie and lived happily every after…
OR DID THEY?

August 23, 2011 at 10:35 am
This is hands-down the best idea for engagement pictures EVER!
August 23, 2011 at 11:13 am
This is insanely fabulous, I’m super jealous!
Between this and the earthquake we just had here this is shaping up to be an interesting day.
August 23, 2011 at 11:19 am
Oh dear sweet jeebus. I’ve found the perfect idea for our engagement photos! The poor nuns at St. Mary’s are gonna kill us after this… XD
August 23, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Pffffft. One zombie does not an invasion make.
August 23, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Found the photo shoot link from Brittany Taylor and was intrigue about the zombie thing. Very nice concept for an engagement photo shoot, very original and creative! cheers!

As a firm believer in never to get married… I do it just to send these out to friends and family.. HOW FREAKING AWESOME
August 24, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Very brainy.

It’s too late to steal this idea.
