Hey lovers of all things spooky! Want to see some fun cemetery photos from this year? If you are also a big fan of Halloween and/or cemeteries, these are the pictures for you! Take a peek!
Living in New England, and being a cemetery lover, and a photographer, this specialty photoshoot is one of my favorites to do each year! New England has no shortage of beautiful, old, historic cemeteries just waiting for you! As someone who enjoys visiting cemeteries and wandering around, I have a vast knowledge of fantastic graveyards in New England. Anyone else go hangout at cemeteries for peaceful walks?
Something that modern cemeteries and modern graves lack is the architectural style of the style from gravestones past. When moving here to New England 10+ years ago, I was instantly captivated by the styles of gravestones. (You probably won’t be shocked to know that my hometown of Los Angeles does not have historic graveyards like out here in New England). So much detail, thought, and care was given to gravestones “back-in-the-day”. And I think it is beautiful to give your final resting place a substantial and ornate place marker.
One of my favorite cemeteries actually isn’t in New England but rather its in Richmond, VA. Ever been to the Hollywood cemetery right on the James River in Richmond, VA? Talk about an expansive and beautiful cemetery dripping in history (minus the confederate soldiers burial section, you can skip that part)! I also recently got to visit Sleepy Hallow Cemetery so check that off the bucket list! I’d love to know some of your favorite cemeteries to visit, walk around, appreciate the history, soak up spooky vibes, etc.
Having photo FOMO yet? Don’t worry, I’d love to do a cemetery photoshoot with you too! Just send me an email!
