MMI_3786

How is it the end of February already? Did any of you get engaged over Valentines Day? I’d love to hear from you if you did, as Marry Me Ink is still looking for 2015’s tattooed bride. You can read more about that here.

Today, I get to introduce you to another super supplier – Emma Warley Photography! You may have seen Emma’s work previously – Stephanie and Jock’s Falling Foss Tea Garden wedding

My name is Emma Warley and I take photos that will make you smile, laugh and even cry (in a good way). I’m an alternative wedding photographer in that I don’t just turn up, get the group shots and go home, I stay with you all day and rock it.

I live by the seaside in Scarborough with my husband Richard and two cats, Eddie and Meg. I have rainbow hair, am obsessed with The Goonies and listen to an awful lot of music.

The inspiration for my work comes from love and people who love each other, as corny as that sounds, it’s what makes me have a passion for what I do. I take a lot of inspiration from films, music and the places around me too. I try to make the photographs I take of you show your love and personalities to the world and make you remember even the most fleeting of moments with fondness and a big ol’cheesy grin.

My favourite brides and grooms have big smiles, aren’t afraid to show their emotions and are totally up for fun and laughter on their wedding day!

Pretty Pins – Tuesday 17th February 2015

Pretty Pins is back! And for this edition I’ve been taking a look on Pinterest at how to make your table/seating plan unique (and maybe even colour coded?). Below are a few of my favourites – especially the alphabetised list joined to the table numbers with string (but that would probably work better with a smaller guest list). Another favourite of mine is having your guests faces instead of names under the table name/number! Which is your favourite?

Wonderful Wedding Venues – Ox Pasture Hall & Hotel, Scarborough

Back in November, Rob and myself had the chance to stay in the gorgeous country house that is Ox Pasture Country House & Hotel in Scarborough and I just had to share our weekend with you!

On arrival, we were greeted with the beautiful greenery and scenery (Idyllic for a garden wedding) and also other couples who were staying along with their furry friends!

One thing I absolutely loved about Ox Pasture Hall was how welcoming the staff were and how easily they were to accommodate everybody. There were families and couples with their dogs who were able to enjoy the hotel and extensive menu and then there was me, the dairy intolerant who is picky about what she eats. 

How easily it was for them to accommodate my allergy was one of the best things for me.. This included dairy-free afternoon tea!

MMI_3580Seriously – I think I ate and drank my weight in scones and cups of tea!

After our scrumptious afternoon tea – we were shown to our room (The honeymoon/bridal suite). This came with a large lounge area with great views of the gardens, and HUGE bed (I promise I didn’t jump all over it) and a lovely bathroom for a big bath of bubbles! Continue reading
