Here's hoping that my future wife will consider a Star Wars engagement photo shoot before we wed. Themed engagement photo shoots have become all the rage recently, with everything from the zombie apocalypse to the movie 'Up!' serving as inspiration. This shoot beats out all of them in that it has the one thing missing from every wedding: Lightsabers.
The Star Wars engagement photo shoot was shot by Michael James Photography. The photographer won't give out the identity of the couple, but it seems pretty obvious to me that they're Darth Maul and Obi Wan Kenobi. The shoot was shot in the San Francisco area in what looks like John Muir Woods. The shoot is both geeky and romantic and is a must-see for anyone out there who formed a relationship over shared geekery.
