Here’s Why No One Shoots Engagement Photos in the Suburbs

Nothing says unbridled passion like a treeless cul-de-sac, right? That's what Nathaniel Hood, who writes for Streets.mn and Strong Towns, and his new bride-to-be were thinking when they shot these engagement photos as a gag.

Nothing says unbridled passion like a treeless cul-de-sac, right? That’s what Nathaniel Hood, who writes for Streets.mn and Strong Towns, and his new bride-to-be were thinking when they shot these engagement photos as a gag.

Hood said on his website:

Engagement photos are either urban or rural. They are either a former factory or a leafy meadow, the brick wall of a forgotten factory or an empty beach. Never the subdivision. Never the cul-de-sac.
We wanted to capture the ambiance of the American subdivision.

Did they ever!

Aww, adorable:

Hood promises his real engagement photos are forthcoming. In the meantime, you have to congratulate him on marrying perhaps the world’s best sport.
