A while back Kaylan wrote me with the idea of doing a zombie inspired photoshoot as part of their engagement session. Obviously, this is a little outside of what I normally do but the more I thought about it the more excited I became about the possibilities and the challenge. She had seen a similar session on a wedding blog but wanted to take things a step further. We bantered around a few ideas, including maybe having Kaylan be the zombie but having her getting in and out of makeup would be a little too time consuming for what we wanted to achieve. In the end, their friend Lacee jumped at the chance to play the zombie and the session was born.
We actually did two different “scenes” but I’ll do my best to string them together for you…
Things start out innocent enough. Don’t they always!
Lurking Zombie Chick…
After the initial shock… Kaylan goes into jealous girlfriend mode. There’s no messing with her man!
With Zombie Chick left behind whimpering in the bushes, all is right with the world.
Okay, seriously?!? Can’t Zombie Chick take a hint…
[production note: ignore the fact that Zombie Chick lost her right arm already but has clearly grown it back in the photo above. Cut me some slack, this is my first time dealing with zombies.]
Zombie Chick hasn’t learned not to mess with Kaylan!
And then there’s Steve, nerves of steele. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…
Awwwwe, such a lovely couple!
With Zombie Chick disposed of we decided to head over the Old Roswell Mill for a few slightly less adventurous photos.
I LOVE the image below!
Huge thank you to Lacee for being willing to have her arm and head severed off!
I can’t wait for the wedding!
