Why do some people revert to cheesy, dated clichés when it comes to engagement photos?
In our image-savvy, social media-obsessed world, you would think that
couples would come up with fresher ideas than the groom-to-be leading
his intended up a garden/woodland/meadow path or gazing somberly into
the distance while she stares doe-eyed up at his face. "When we started
planning our wedding last October and looking at Pinterest boards of
engagement photos, it was like people totally lost their personalities,"
Marian Schembari, a San
Francisco-based marketing manager and blogger tells Yahoo Shine.
Schembari and her fiancé, Elliot Speed, began trading ideas for photos
to crack each other up. But when their friend Malia Moss,
a professional photographer, learned about their inside joke, she
persuaded them to do a series of spoof shots. On Dec. 14, the three
mined every moth-eaten romantic theme they could come up with over the
course of six hours dashing around the city. "Marian and Elliot are
goofy in the exact same way, it's freaky," Moss tells Yahoo Shine. "It
was the most fun I've had at a photo shoot in my entire life." The
results are hilarious — and surprisingly sweet. Ironically, the two
people who were so cynical about engagement photography are clearly
deeply in love.—Sarah B. Weir, Yahoo Shine
