James Bond Wedding, need help!

Just Fields

Hey all!

I'm a pro photographer in the NYC area and I'm looking to do an editorial wedding shoot with the theme of James Bond. I'm looking for a couple that is very "Bond" like but more than that, I would love to hear your ideas on what you think would make good
-James Bond wedding favors
-Wedding dress
-Colors for the shoot (for the flowers, tables)
-Any 007 details
-NYC location ideas
-etc...

I got permission to shoot in front of a russian fighter jet lol and was going to do a From Russia With Love theme, but not sure if that's too much. I would love to hear all your thoughts

Hard to know what to suggest, the marriage thing in Bond films tends to meet with tragedy, as in OHMSS and LTK.

The UN building as a backdrop might be good, used in LALD. It's one of the few films where Bond went to New York, so you could have a black theme (Tee Hee as usher, Whisper as pageboy, Baron Samedi on the organ) but some would find that in bad taste...

In LTK the end of the pts had parachutes acting as wedding dress tails... Maybe include in the shoot an Oriental-looking photographer like in Dr No, the one working for the Daily Gleaner but actually a spy.

Okay, maybe have likes of Oddjob as usher or something...

What are wedding favours?

If you can get an Old DB5 for some Photos, Mabey some Casino type Shots etc. They could get some small sweets with 007 printed on them as "Favours" on the Tables, Chocolate Coins in Gold foil as Fort Knox Bullion, Bride with a small gun in her Garter Belt. Couple enjoying Martinis, Brides shoes with a Knife sticking out of it's soul ( could easily be mocked up ), or have the groom Pointing a walking stick Over the Brides shoulder, as if it was a riffle, or the same pose but have him holding the Gater belt, Pulling back on it to shoot it over her shoulder.
I know it's video But here is a Wedding video Intro with a Casino Royale theme.

It's the most important day of two people's lives. Hopefully they will stay together for life and look back fondly on the day. Anyone who themes their wedding is mad. Individuality is important, but what counts most is making the day special for the couple in that what they say or do is from the heart, and NOT about performing to either scripted or themed events. I love all things Bond, but our wedding day was about my wife and me, and it was ours...
