Show me your Darness and I will show you mine- Seattle Witchy Engagement Photographer
Meg contacted me because she wanted a darker themed photo shoot for her and her fiancé. In her words, something “witchy and romantic”
I AM HERE FOR IT.
She emailed that “going the traditional engagement photographer route has been a bit difficult considering they don’t cater to what I’m looking for. And then I came across your work….”
She said that they loved the book “The Cruel Prince” and sent me some imagery for inspiration. Admittedly, I just started the book months after this shoot. Thanks for the recommendation Meg! What I did do before the shoot, was search quotes from the book. These quotes were SO cool, I decided to scatter them throughout this blog. Enjoy! And let me know if you’ve read the book!
“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
“Let's have a toast. To the incompetence of our enemies.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
“If you hurt me, I wouldn't cry. I would hurt you back.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
“Desire is an odd thing. As soon as it’s sated, it transmutes. If we receive golden thread, we desire the golden needle.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
“But I will not stand in front of your happiness. I will not even stand in front of misery that you choose for yourself.”
“He looks like a faerie lover stepped out of a ballad, the kind where no good comes to the girl who runs away with him.”
― The Cruel Prince
“I stand in front of my window and imagine myself a fearless knight, imagine myself a witch who hid her heart in her finger and then chopped her finger off.”
“She's looking around the forest, as though if she can prove it isn't magic, then nothing else is, either. Which is stupid. All forests are magic.”
“Sharpen your heart.”
“Guard your mortal heart.”
“He stares at me as though I am a stranger, but I have never felt less like one. For the first time, we are both unmasked.”
“You have only seen the least of what I can do.” Holly Black
“Faerie might be beautiful, but its beauty is like a golden stag’s carcass, crawling with maggots beneath his hide, ready to burst.”
“If you want my advice,” he says slowly, “love doesn’t grow well, fed on pain. Grant me that I know that at least.”
“Our lives are the only real thing we have, our only coin. We get to buy what we want with them.”
“Ah! A lady of mystery! My very favorite kind.”
