KAISERSLAUTERN HALLOWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Check out our Kaiserslautern family photography sessions for more sessions like this Kaiserslautern Halloween photography session in the area.

We got to meet Kristin and Chris when we first got here to the Kaiserslautern area. The week after we moved here Oktoberfest was happening and we had to jump in. We’re super thankful we went this first year even though we were jet lagged. The subsequent years we’ve lived here the Oktoberfest celebrations have been cancelled due to covid. Our first trip out of Kaiserslautern with her was to Munich’s Oktoberfest. The following weekend we went to Stuttgart’s Oktoberfest and met Christ and Kristin. They had a group together and got a table in one of the beer halls. We stayed with them and got to know them and their friends while at their table.

After that we got to see them at occasional gatherings and even spent New Year’s Eve with them one year. I got to capture some fun Kaiserslautern Christmas market photos with them while Chris’ kids were in town. This year Kristin was wanting to do some makeup and dress up for a Kaiserslautern Halloween photography session. She did all her own prosthetic makeup, costume and hair and we did our first session a couple weeks before Halloween. After our first session something happened with the import and I didn’t get all the shots. I delivered what I had and told her we could reshoot. So we scheduled a reshoot on Halloween at the Hauptfriedhof Kaiserslautern, the graveyard.

RAMSTEIN HALLOWEEN PICTURES

When we showed up at the graveyard it was a lot busier than we were expecting it to be. There were families visiting their loved one’s graves all around the graveyard. We did our best to avoid people and hide her costume and outfit when we were going by families. There was a mausoleum we went to first that Kristen had found on previous visits. It was fall time and there were lots of beautiful colors and leaves that fell to cover the ground. To start things off we did shots on the stairs leading up to the mausoleum and around the gated entrance. After that we did some shots with her crawling up the stairs and they were super fun to capture with her.

Once finished there we moved to the back of the mausoleum to grab some shots next to some headstones. Happy with shots we were getting we continued back down to the path leading up to the mausoleum. On that path we did some more pictures with her crawling toward me for the kill! There was another section with a lot of headstones neatly ordered that we shot at next. They were headstones from World War II and they were lined in a grid system. From there we continued down the path and found a park bench. She sat on the bench and we got some more fun shots. There were more walls with vines crawling up them that we shot at next.

GRAVEYARD COSTUME PICTURES

There was another mausoleum we went to next and on the way we found another trail that looked beautiful. So we stopped here and did some more zombie like photos. Once we got to the mausoleum there was a small pool we worked with her on the inside of it. It was dried up so it was easy to have her inside it without getting her wet. Once we were at the top we got some more shots overlooking some forest while putting her on top of a wall. Happy with these shots we began to work our way back to the entrance. The graveyard is a bit of a maze but we eventually found our way back to the entrance.

There were some big headstones we stopped at that were intricate with statues and doors. These made for a great setting to wrap up this Kaiserslautern Halloween photography session. The last shots we got for this session were at the main entrance on the steps leading up to the main building. As a joke we had her stalking Chris who had come along for the final shots. It was great getting to work with Kristen for this Kaiserslautern Halloween photography session. If you’re looking to do costume photos for Halloween we’d love to be considered.
