Murder-Themed Marriage Photos

This Engagement Photo Shoot Takes 'Til Death Do Us Part' Literally

— June 4, 2016 — Lifestyle
Patrick Reetz and Shi Jaramillo are a recently engaged couple that decided to take their celebratory marriage photos with a literal theme by exploring the concept "till death do us part" verbatim. The shot captures the couple posing as though they recently committed murder with a staged set that encompasses blood, a fake body and the couple taking on the roles of the criminal.

The shoot is divergence from more traditional and romantic set-ups that often showcase couples posing together and highlighting their love. This couple opted for an unconventional approach by incorporating elements of death into the theme for a comical effect. The pair are shown with bloody hands smiling as they bury a body together in a woodland forest.
