Why settle for traditional romance when you can infuse humor into your love story? While many couples opt for stunning, dreamy engagement photos to commemorate their commitment, not everyone is aiming for that aesthetic. Just take a look at this delightfully quirky engagement shoot that’s sure to make you smile.
Carly and Jake, a fun-loving duo, approached photographer Mia Thompson from Evergreen Lens to capture their wedding and engagement moments. Initially, their meeting at a cozy café seemed like the typical pre-photoshoot consultation. “Everything was standard until the conversation shifted,” Mia recalls.
As they discussed their vision for the engagement session, Carly and Jake revealed their unique idea: a theme inspired by the cult classic “Napoleon Dynamite.” Mia was instantly thrilled, feeling a surge of excitement at the thought of capturing such a playful concept.
The results? Absolutely epic.
“I wish I could redo my own engagement photos after seeing this!” Mia exclaimed. While she usually specializes in more romantic, cinematic styles, she was invigorated by Carly and Jake’s creative approach. “Most couples lean towards serious, magazine-worthy shots, which is totally fine—I love that style! But to have a couple come in with thrifted outfits and a sense of fun? That’s what makes the photography world exciting!”
The day was filled with laughter and joyful moments, from the serious poses to the hilarious antics that followed as they donned their thrift store finds. They also took some classic engagement photos, which turned out beautifully, but it’s the awkward ones that truly steal the show.
Mia was captivated not just by the couple’s humor but also by the evident love they shared. “The more I learned about them, the clearer it became how perfect they were for one another—even in their quirky outfits!”
We can’t help but hope they’ll bring the same spirit to their wedding day photography as well.
