The Rockabilly Vintage Bride: James & Emma

Today I get to introduce to you Emma & James whose wedding was filled with vintage rockabilly coolness, red and black, amazing stationery from Elle Is For Love and one fabulous cake from Crumb!! Photography from the wonderful N.Cadman Photography.

Emma & James were wed at Glemham Hall where the grounds were stunning for the couple’s photographs.

“James and I met through a mutual friend, Jan. James plays guitar in a rock band called Brigade. I was going to see a band called Adien and Brigade we’re supporting them. It was Jan’s birthday and he wanted to see Brigade so we went together.

James caught my eye rocking out on the side of the stage at the Concorde 2 in Brighton!

I asked Jan who the “nutty good looking ginger” was! Jan explained that it was James he was friends with and they both went to the same school back in Suffolk. Jan introduced me to James after the gig. We had some drinks together (and quite a few Jager’s!). We added each other on FB and chatted pretty much every day. I went to see them at a few more gigs and the flirting began! A few months after first meeting, Brigade were playing at Download 2008 festival. Me & my friend had already got day tickets for the same day Brigade were playing. We meet up with them after their set and the rest is history as they say!

James proposed on Christmas day 2010. We set the date for May 12th 2012 not long after that so around 18 months we were engaged.”

“Originally I wanted a halter-neck 50’s tea length swing dress but when I tried them on they just didn’t feel right. Me and one of my bridesmaids Continue reading

Turquoise & Damask Nanaimo Wedding: Kimberly & Andrew

Good afternoon! Today’s real wedding on Marry me Ink is so awesome – Turquoise bridesmaid and damask print tables – LOVE!

Kimberly is the cousin of fantastic photographer Amanda Flagg, who’s work is gorgeous! “When my cousin Kim first told me she was getting married, I was very surprised. Sure, I had heard about this mystery man from South Africa, she had told me of her visit with him on her trip there. Then I saw them together and it all made sense!”

“At Kim’s mom’s house we were greeted by “Brownie” the little rabbit that lives in the bushes outside the house. Inside the girls painted toe nails, drank wine and started doing make up while I took some shots of her hand-made bouquet, simple elegant dress and killer hot shoes. Did I mention Kim has the most wicked tattoos? An attribute both her and her hubby share! Continue reading
