Blade Runner was one of the biggest movies of the 80s and has had a bit of a cult following since. The fans of the film are very often caught up in the fantasy that comes with the movie and the fanciful action that made the film so popular. These two betrothed loved the movie so much that they got their [upcoming wedding photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrateally-ai1) done in the exact same style as the Ridley Scott-directed film.

Being [unabashed fans of certain series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars) has become the thing to do recently. Nerdy is the new cool and these soon-to-be newlyweds know that all too well. While the photos lack some of the action that the film has, they get by on the [smoky colors and gritty steampunk visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan) that are often associated with the film.

If these photos are a sign of things to come, these two will have an exhilarating future together.
