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.

A Staffordshire Marina Wedding Blessing – Deb & Paul

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you Deb and Paul’s wedding blessing and celebration that took place at Aston Marina in Staffordshire. They were both originally married in Jamaica in 2014 on the beach. They had their church blessing to create the precious memories with their loved ones and have it photographed by James Merrick Photography.

We met through work and after a few months of me dropping hints and Paul missing them it was a broken car headlight that finally brought us together – Paul had my number to put me in touch with a mechanic and literally ‘saw the light’.

We wanted a simple laid back day filled with fun and laughter! The whole day was tailor made by us. The best bit was the flowers and button holes that we made ourselves (well Paul’s Mum saved the day really as things aren’t always as easy as You Tube suggests!).

I always thought I wouldn’t want to have tattoos on show on my wedding day, but looking at the photographs I think ours look incredible! They makes our outfits. We love our ink and you don’t have tattoos to not show them off!! We think they add an extra vibe to the photographs!  Continue reading
