Grungy Couple Session in Downtown Raleigh with Cemetery View & Guitars - Nicole & Kieran

Can you tell these two need to start a band?

I met Nicole this year through my friend Megg (whose wedding I shot a few years ago - it's cool all my friends are clients) and when her boyfriend from the UK was visiting I asked if they might want to do a Tumblr-esque grunge shoot with me for fun! I wanted to try out some new film presets and just get weird with it.

We decided to channel our inner Tumblr selves (since these two met online via their insane guitarcentric instagrams - seriously they are both so talented) and do a grungy shoot. I wanted to sort of have it feel like a music video. And afterwards we headed to the cemetery to get some Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Goth rock / 90s vibes. Taking photos in cemeteries is one of my favorite places. Besides the ultimate spooky vibes, most of these historical cemeteries are full of history, cool stories, and amazing sculptures. Usually I shoot at Oakwood but I wanted to give some love to Raleigh City Cemetery as it is also a great backdrop and we were surrounded by bats which upped the spooky factor.

If you think this is weird well buckle up because a ton of spooky. halloween content is headed your way!!!
