A Rockabilly Barbershop Engagement

This engagement shoot is the coolest one I’ve seen in a long time and from The Pin-Up Bride – Sam the groom-to-be works at Relics and Rust which is how he and fiance Emma, whilst exhibiting at a tattoo convention.

The proposal was amazing! I actually had no idea it was gonna happen. We had been doing the Route 66 and were about to head up to the Grand Canyon, I jokingly mentioned about how I ‘bet it would be an amazing place for a proposal’ little did I know it would be happening to me! It was quite funny actually as we ditched the tourist entrance and he took me to a secluded spot with spectacular views, Sam kept trying to get me to come closer to the edge, I’m super scared of heights so that wasn’t happening. Then he got down on one knee. Can’t top that moment, I was in total disbelief!

Being a tattooist myself I felt it’s so important to show off my tattoos as they’re part of me. I’m pretty fully covered and have a full backpiece and now working on a full frontal torso piece so really wanted to show this off. I’ve chosen a vintage lace backless gown for when we get married – the lace at the back really frames my backpiece in a pretty, delicate manner! Who wouldn’t want to show off their tattoos on a wedding day?! That’s one of the things Sam loves about me so I wouldn’t want to cover up!

An Art Couple Shoot In Rustic France

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you this styled couple shoot that took place in a beautiful French location from Marine of MG Photographies.

“There was Sarlat, this little old city in the South of France. Somehow lost and all asleep among her old charming stones. In the winter-to-come greyish and freezy weather the city looked deserted.
I was fascinated by the appealing contrast between the old stones and the young fleshes. Both would merge perfectly, because love is universal, has no age, no cloth, no fashion. Love will be forever greated by old stones sceneries …
That was my motto during the shooting. The town was just like an abandoned book, opened at a random page. The beautiful old ocher stones were just a fantastic rhyme to give to my young energetic and modern model couple Julien and Aurelie.”

Julien had a crush on the artistic work of Aurelie whose work he followed for a while before meeting her and was curious to get to know her. Their first meeting was in a café to discuss about artistic projects. Both are models, and Aurelie is also a photographer – Their common energy and values drove them together to partner works.
Sharing this couple moment in a shooting was for them a symbol of the true relationship they share in life. “We’ve always been honest and plain in our relationship” Both are proud to have shared this daily life shooting together. “Meeting a beautiful soul deserves to be claimed.

If You Go Down To The Woods Today – Danyell & Paul’s Engagement Shoot

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you this beautiful woodland engagement shoot from Daz Mack Photography.  

We’ve been together for nearly 4 years  first 2 long distance as im from Edinburgh, Pauls from Stockton, the other 2 years have been together in Middlesbrough. 

I had saw a picture of Paul on Instagram on sick  plugs page which we both followed he was posing with his storm trooper plugs in and I liked the look of him (his big beautiful eyes) so I had to check his profile out. He had on there that he was an artist and that he did commissions. As I’m pretty outgoing and confident I thought I’d get in touch and get him to draw me something.

I requested Vincent Price with a haunted house and a evil nurse from the silent hill game. We quickly became friendly which then in turn turned flirty, I received my commission which I still love to this day.
We kept in touch texting every day. At first Paul was hesitant to make things go further due to the long distance between us. Him in Stockton and myself in Edinburgh two different countries.

A Short time passed and I gave him an ultimatum as I really liked him and I wanted to be more and didn’t want to waste my time so I Said I can’t wait forever.I then was asked on a couple of dates with another guy. Which made me feel that all I wanted to be, was with Paul. As we continued to talk during this he knew I was on these dates which made him step up and take the leap of trying a long distance relationship with me. (Some people call it jealousy I think he just realised what he could of lost.) A month past and then in December 2013, He drove up to Edinburgh to see me. As I’m old fashioned,which he already knew from various conversations we had previously if he wanted me to be his girlfriend he had to ask me. Which he did after less than an hour in my flat. Then the long distance love rollercoaster began. We are very romantic to each other making our own cards or presents for each other for anniversaries and just being thoughtful and caring.

Paul is a talented and hard working tattooist @watsonsith and our life is focused around this as its what he loves and I support and help him in his success. He’s my Bear and I’m his Bunny (like the masks) we both have our bunny and bear tattoos for each other too.

How beautiful is this enagagement shoot? I can’t to share with you their wedding which will also be on the blog next week – Make sure you pop back to see it in all it’s glory – It’s an good one! Thanks to both Danyell, Paul and Daz Mack Photography for sharing with Marry Me Ink today.
