Yeah You Did: Star Wars Themed Engagement Photos

"For two dudes, right?"

This is a series of Star Wars themed engagement photos taken by dual first-namer Michael James for a Star Wars-loving couple. As you can see, the groom is some kind of Jedi and the bride is some sort of Sith. Me? I'm some sort of love-making machine. Kidding, I'm a hotel ice machine. *GRUMBLE GRUMBLE*

The couple approached me about their engagement shoot, wanting something a little more traditional (suit, tie, dress, etc.) on the beach, but as we talked, we figured out that while I'm more of a Trekkie, their love of all things Star Wars totally surpassed my love of Star Trek. So we incorporated their ideas into the shoot. I didn't think the bride-to-be would actually wear the make-up, but she seriously showed her true colors and went for it. In fact, they were late because she didn't know if she could go outside of her house with the make-up on, but I'm glad she did. It totally made the pictures.


The shoot was shot in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mountain bikers and hikers passed us and everyone thought it was great.

Congratulations, guys. You know what they say -- a couple that gets geeky engagement photos taken, Canadian bacon. "Nobody's ever said that." Never pee on Hoth or your shlong'll freeze and break off?

    This is Redditor Tattoodle's Boba Fett themed BMW motorcycle. Personally I feel like Boba would be more of a Triumph rider, but what do I know? I'm just a dillweed who spends way too much time thinking about shit that doesn't matter. How many jellybeans could fit inside a mo... / Continue →

    Because these days a marriage without a theme is like a drinking game with no beer, a British couple recently got married dressed as Shrek and Princess Fiona. Surprisingly (or not depending on how much faith you have in humanity), this isn't the first time it's been done. The... / Continue →

    Because these days you risk being rejected and dying confused and alone if you propose with some plain-ass engagement ring, Redditor DisturbedRobot (not cool, bro) had a custom Battlestar Galactica Cylon ring made for his bride-to-be, Amy. And, because the ring had such a swee... / Continue →

    I'm more of a TrekkER than that photographer and I don't even like Star Trek that much.

    epic.  And grats!

  • Cinema Obsessed

    Dude, at least iron your robes before the photoshoot...

  • Jeff Jeung

    Instead of engagement rings, how about custom made lightsabers with removable blades?
    -Just say'in-

  • Jeff Jeung

    No, wait ..Have both sabers connect with each other? With a gold locking ring and display stand. Have it flanked by Solo in carbinite, and Fett statue?
    *sigh*  No one loves me....*sniff*

  • hahaha that's where I live

    Sooo cute!

    It's hard to determine because of the robe, but given the face I would definitely stick her with my light saber- she can keep the face paint and costume on.

  • If Jedi and Sith can get along, what's the excuse for the rest of us?

  • ryo_saeba

    I prefer the zombie one.
