Zombie attack Richmond! \\ Behind the Scenes \\ Richmond Styled Engagement Photographer

The Zombies have Attacked Richmond! RUN!

No really how many times can you say an engaged couple asked for a Styled Engagement Portrait Session which they wanted it to include Zombies? Well I can cross craziness with great friends off my Bucket list!

So here is how it all played out, Jay (the groom) has been best friends with my husband for ever! Really forever! Jay has been my roommate before and always been someone to count on when needed. Then there is the beautiful Vanna that lets admit WOW! Again she has been friends with my husband for many years. Long story short I told Jay about 5 years ago, long before he and Vanna started dating that she was the one, the one he would marry one day!

Nailed It! Really maybe I should start offering a matchmaking package... Maybe not I swear I don't sleep now as is. 

So I got the facebook announcement of their engagement like the rest of the world along with a special text message asking me to be their Wedding Photographer. Well Duh that was a no brainer! A few weeks later once the date was set I received another text message about Engagement Images, Jay wouldn't enjoy just regular images to announce their engagement. Yes a challenge! Then Vanna tells me about a Zombie Engagement she found on Pinterest!

That was all she wrote, it took about 4 months to plan out all the needed details from the costume make up artist, the needed zombies, back up photographers, outfit choices, location scouting, & most importantly the story board to this amazing once in a life time session!


Here is a peak into what the behind the scenes looked like on Sunday
