If you’re a hopeless romantic (me) and loved the new Star Wars movie (me), get ready for a photo shoot that’s going to blow your mind. When Utah natives Victor and Julianne got engaged, they decided to capture their love in a style that’s second nature to them — as Finn and Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Since they regularly cosplay as the star characters from the latest Star Wars installment, they already had the perfect costumes. Now all they had to do was find the quintessential photographer. Enter Utah-based photographer Robert Lance Montgomery.
Long looks
They shot in the Little Sahara Sand Dunes in Utah, which resembled Jakku — the planet where we first meet Rey.
A robot baby
Thankfully, everyone was up to the task, even their little BB-8 — the couple’s baby daughter, Addie.
Rugged
Victor’s an experienced cosplayer, going on three years, however he’d never done a Star Wars character until Finn.
Hard-core
Meanwhile Julianne had never cosplayed before, that is until she met Victor.
More than friends
The couple decided to do a marathon of all the Star Wars movies before Force Awakens came out.
Smiles
By the end of the night, they both knew they had to cosplay Finn and Rey.
Dramatic kiss
Never thought I’d see Finn and Rey kiss like that! At least not so early on in their relationship!
BB-8
The shots Montgomery got are about as spot on as they come.
Laughter
The couple was super meticulous; Julianne used tea to get her robes the perfect shade of off-white.
