Star Wars vs Star Trek Comic Book Shop Geek Engagement

Yay! Amy & Thom's  gorgeously, geeky engagement session was featured on When Geeks Wed. To see the post, go here. I've posted a few (well, a lot cause I love so many) of my favorites here as well.

Needless to say, I had a phaser blast of a good time shooting these two powerhouse geeks in love. I have been a fan of Amy's blog Geek With Curves for a few years now. So, when she asked me to do a photo shoot of her and her talented comic book writer fiancé, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes fame, I jumped at the chance. We brainstormed a couple of locations, like possibly Disneyland, and ulitmately came up with a most awesome location of the House of Secrets comic book shop in Burbank.

I knew that Amy was a big Star Wars fan, but when I found out Thom is a Trekkie/Trekker I got a little more excited, as I am more of a Trek fan myself. Then, when I was told there would be phasers and lightsabers involved, I got even more excited. It was fun to play up the whole Star Trek vs Star Wars angle, but all-in-all GEEK LOVE conquers all.

Congratulations to Amy & Thom on their engagement! LLAP, MTFBWY & XO Rachel

Amy is stunning in her TARDIS blue dress from Pin-Up Clothing complete with TARDIS necklace.

She incorporated some Doctor Who as Thom proposed to her in front of the TARDIS at Clockwork Couture. Now what girl could have resisted that?

Fezzes, Amy Ponds, Ten, Elevenses and scarves galore!

Gallifrey One hosts the best Doctor Who convention in town.  For me, it is THE best convention.  I have been to many, but there is something different about this one.  I don't know if it's the fact that it's run by fans, or that the celebrity guests seem to have as much fun as the attendees, or it's all about the creative cosplay or perhaps it's just because Doctor Who has the best fandom around.  Whatever it is, I am a better person to have experienced it.
Here are a few of my favorite things...
Little adorable Eleven
Last of the Timelords
 Gorgeous TARDIS dress
 Sarah John
Captain Jack is dead!  Or is he?
 You've just saved the universe.  What are you going to do now?
Take the TARDIS to Disneyland, of course!
A fully equipped Eleven
A real K-9
Amy Ratcliffe is the Doctor's new companion
TARDIS Tara and Louis Trapani
Chris Hardwick dressed as Ten filming for the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Fez's Revenge
Tiki Dalek
My favorite Masquerade costume was The Next Doctor and her
"Tethered Aerial Release Developed IStyle" 
 Gary Russell interviews producer Tracie Simpson
 Clayton Hickman interviews one of my favorite writers, Gareth Roberts
 Jane Espenson and Doris Egan discuss writing for Torchwood.
Torchwood is in good hands with these two.
Doctor Who Podshock interviews Waris Hussein.
He directed the episode that started it all, An Unearthly Child.
 Peter Davison loves his companions
