A couple met online in Diablo and tied the knot, followed by a radiant wedding in shiny armor.
There are many ways to get to know your partner. Some meet in a bar or at a party with mutual friends, while others find true love through Tinder. Among us gamers, it’s not uncommon to log into your favorite game unsuspectingly and suddenly encounter your dream partner.
Something similar happened to Crusader Alvin Lau and Demon Hunter Alexis Loo, who met online in Diablo III. Their friendship started as a delicate little plant during shared missions and blossomed over time into a sturdy love tree, celebrated last year with a wedding.
When Demon Hunters and Crusaders fall in love, the right shoot is a must
The two thought that a photoshoot in Diablo cosplay would be appropriate for the occasion and opted for the armor of their Diablo characters instead of tuxedo and wedding dress. These photos are not from the wedding itself, but were taken before their big day together.
By the way, they are not the first to celebrate their wedding day in the style of their game. This Warframe couple even held their ceremony directly in Warframe itself.
Thanks to Photoshop, the matching backgrounds are available
Alvin and Alexis are from Singapore, which made it quite challenging for them to set up this Diablo shoot. There aren’t many classic ruins and cemeteries in European style there. So the photography studio “Mezame” quickly took a green screen and added the backgrounds digitally later. The result is certainly impressive!
This is how the photos were created
The video below is a making-of of the photoshoot and shows how the photographers worked with the couple. In the studio itself, a fog machine was used to create a mysterious atmosphere, and the bridal couple struck poses to the best of their ability. Later, the suitable backgrounds were digitally incorporated. Looks pretty cool, right?
Would you like such a photoshoot with your girlfriend or boyfriend? Maybe we’ll soon hear from the first couple, that met in the Diablo book club.
The photos in the article about the cosplay are from the page The Art of Mezame.
