A few months back, I scheduled an engagement session with Emily and Jesse at one of my favorite locations — Asbury Park. What I didn’t realize was that due to a potential hurricane the week before, the annual Asbury Park Zombie Walk had been moved to the week of said engagement shoot. I figured, eh, what could go wrong? Two days before the shoot, I get a slightly panicked text from Emily that read: “Hi George! Soooo, we have a problem. Lol the zombie walk is tomorrow down in Asbury.” To which I kindly replied, “And the problem is…?” Luckily, Emily was a good sport and wrote back, “Okay! I trust you! Lol. I guess a zombie in the background of a pic won’t be too bad?” And by a zombie she probably wasn’t expecting 7,000 undead ghouls. But that didn’t matter, because we were going to have a zombie engagement shoot — even if it killed us (and they almost did). Here are some of my favorite photos from our Asbury Park Zombie Walk. It was a bloody good time. A huge thank you to all the zombies that helped out and offered their ghoulishness for my photographic pleasure. You guys rock.
Holy moly! This is some kind of evil genius coincidence! And of course GLK bats this one out of the park!!! You evil photography genius, you…!
The best photographers know how to roll with the cards they’re dealt; amazing set of images!
Whomever had the brilliant idea to do an engagement session during a zombie walk is a genius. These are awesome photos!
Thank you so much, Linda. I wish I could say it was either of our ideas, but due to a storm, the Zombie walk was moved to the same weekend as the engagement shoot. I convinced the couple to roll with it and the results are pretty awesome, IMO.
