Haywood Jones Photography Part Deux – PHOTOGRAPHY GIVEAWAY!

Posted on January 7, 2012 | 1 comment

So this week I’ve been sharing my love for Bethan at Haywood Jones Photography.
You can see the first half of the sharing here of the fantastic Brighton shoot featuring the gorgeous Chi Chi Revolver.

Bethan contacted me a couple of weeks ago to put a fabulous idea forward.. To let all you tattooed lovelies have a chance of winning a FREE LOVE SHOOT with your other half/husband/fiance etc..

So.. The question is, what do you need to do for a chance to win this love shoot?

Firstly, Bethan is based in Birmingham, you have three possible locations for the shoot to take place.. Either Birmingham, London or Manchester.. It’s totally up to you guys!

Secondly, we think it would be cool for you couples to create a mood board of what you’d like to do within the shoot, either as a document or on Pinterest (I am currently addicted to using this site!) and email it in to marrymeink@gmail.com. Think themes and what fun you could have with it!

Email in a brief detail about you & your partner and what ideas you have for the shoot (Maybe use masks like in Nathan & Heidi’s engagement?) with your attached pin board.

You have until Sunday 22nd January to get in your entries in, where I will then choose THREE couples, to which on Tuesday 24th January, these three entries will be posted onto the blog where you, my delightful readers, get to choose the winner!

There we go! How does that sound?!! EXCITING!!

Go on.. Get pinning to your boards and get those emails in! – Rach.XX

A Retro, Tattooed Diner Shoot [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on January 4, 2012 | 9 comments

Welcome to 2012 on Marry Me Ink! I have been totally overwhelmed by all of your support & kind words about the blog. I couldn’t have done it without some special guys & gals that made 2011 so exciting and who are going to make 2012 for the site VERY exciting and VERY interesting! – STAY TUNED!

Of course, if it wasn’t for the fantastic weddings and inspiration shoots that arrive in my inbox, I couldn’t do it.
Therefore, I thank each & every one of you that have submitted your work for me to feature on the site.

Let me introduce you to Bethan of Haywood Jones Photography. I have two exciting things to show & tell this week from this lady.. This gorgeous shoot being the first of them! (You’ll have to head back on Saturday to see the second!)

When I first received mail from Bethan – it was to say that she loved my site, at the same time I was actually rifling through her galleries on her site and came across this styled shoot of Chi Chi Revolver in Brighton – one of my favourite places!

“The shoot was born from the idea of showing the beauty of tattooed brides! I just wanted the pics to be really simple and for the gorgeous girl to speak for herself.”

I think that Chi Chi looks absolutely fantastic! I love the retro feel of the diner, from the jukebox to the tall milkshakes!
I absolutely love everything about this shoot! The dress is cute and Chi Chi’s pincurls & tattoos are glorious! (I especially love her knuckle tattoos that spell out “Show Time”)
