A newly engaged couple decided to take the engagement photos trend into their own hands, reinterpreting popular poses with a hilarious twist.
Marian Schembari, a blogger and marketing manager who lives in San Francisco, took on the lighthearted project with her fiancé, Elliot, Jezebel reported.
The couple, who posted the photos on the blog Offbeat Bride, noticed that betrothed people tended to stick to the same (often puzzling) shots.
"When my fiancé Elliot and I got engaged, we didn't have any plans to take engagement photos. But when we started our wedding research, we had a bit of a chuckle seeing the same series of photos again and again," Schembari described in the blog post.
Those three shots included: "1.Woman looking daintily up at her intended while he looks broodingly into the distance, 2.Couple holding hands in an awkward position so the shiny bling was obviously front and center and 3.Couple kissing on the beach with pre-wife lifting one leg and pointing her toes."
Schembari and her fiancé decided to spoof these poses with exaggerations and switched gender roles--and had the time of their lives doing it.
"We started talking about doing spoofs of these photos--some gender-swapped (how would Elliot look with his leg cocked while kissing me?), others just extreme takes on traditional photos (what if, instead of leading me gently down a grassy meadow path, Elliot was snapped dragging my body into the woods?)," Schembari described.
The couple typed up their favorite ideas, and when Schembari's close friend Malia Moss saw the list, she asked to take the pictures. Moss, a wedding and engagement photographer for 10 years, followed the pair around San Francisco to capture the priceless snaps.
"We acted like idiots and Elliot posed as a traditional blushing bride. I don't think anyone has ever had more fun," Schembari said.
