A Snowy Wedding in Moscow – Ekaterina & Roman

MMI_1205

With the weather being as undecided as it is at the minute – I thought I’d share this stunning Russian wedding that took place in Moscow from Igor Gerasimchuk. Seriously – Tattooed bride Ekaterina and her husband Roman look absolutely beautiful in the snow after their Tzaritsinsky registry office ceremony!

We got to know each other near the fountain on a summer day and 5 days after our acquaintance we went on a trip. Our first romantic city became Kiev and it was there where we understood we couldn’t live without each other. After that we started to live together and 3 years later we went to our another holiday. It was a picnic with nights by the shore of the Black sea. At the sunset when the sun was going down the horizon and the stars were shining, Roman knelt down and asked me to marry him. It was so romantic that sure I said “Yes!” – Otherwise he’d have killed me!

When Two Trees’ Roots Join And Become One – Heather & Max

Hannah-dornford-may-erica-stacey-7

Tattooed bride Heather and Max married in June.  A friend took photographs for them on the day of their wedding.  After they returned from Honeymoon some of their wedding suppliers got together with photographer Hannah Dornford-May  and ‘recreated’ their day on location in Heather’s grandparents beautiful garden.  Here’s their story..

Heather and Max met on their first day at University.  They were good friends for seven years before finally falling in love.   However, after taking seven years to fall in love, Max then couldn’t wait to propose.  He started to think about how he was going to propose to Heather, but just jumped in and asker Heather before he had even bought the ring! Heather immediately said YES.

When they started to plan their wedding Heather and Max knew they wanted a very informal relaxed affair and here they tell us about their day.

Our wedding was different..  There were lots of different elements as it was very personal to us and not very traditional. We wanted an outdoorsy wedding with a countryside feel and we wanted  a really relaxed family atmosphere.   It was important that we had lots of little touches which were special to us and which family and friends were involved in.  For example, Max’s mum made lots of buttonholes for the groom and the guests.

 Our celebrations started the evening before our wedding when we had a relaxed meal with our guests and then we all had breakfast together the next morning.   After breakfast, we all went to the ceremony on a lovely vintage bus.  We just wanted all our families together; because we both come from a divorced family we wanted everyone in the same room and it to be really intimate.   Our wedding was alternative but really good fun.

We’ve never smiled so much. When we both went into the ceremony everyone said we were both just like Cheshire cats the whole way through. There were so many people there with us to share the experience and it was such a wonderful day.

The tree tattoos were inspired by one of our wedding readings.  The reading was taken from ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ which explains how you know you’re in love if two tree’s roots grow together and become one tree instead of two and that really stuck with us so we both decided to get tree’s done with their roots showing as a symbol  of our marriage.  It’s a way for us to remember it without  being typical tattoos.
