Fakeiversary – Personal [Tattooed Bride Blog]

So, time for a personal post from the Marry Me Ink lady herself..

According to social networking site, Facebook, it is Rob & I’s 1year anniversary since our “engagement”.. I am using dreary quotation marks because I am here to point out that we are NOT engaged – Even though Facey tells you we are..
THIS is because around this week last November, I cooked for the whole household on two separate occasions, including my housemate and his friends. On both of these occasions, I had “wooed” Rob over with my wonderful curries. 

That weekend he presented me with an “Engagement Medallion”.. Something that looked like an over the top Hip Hop chain (You get the idea).

We had to make if “official” I was told, and the next I know, it’s everywhere that we’re “engaged”, much to the bemusement of all my friends who took no time in congratulating us on our latest news. 

To celebrate the first year of our “engagement” I bring you photos from the lovely couples’ shoot by Lisa Brown of when we visited Brighton for a family wedding back in June. It’s been such a fun year of being “engaged”. 

Enjoy! – Rach.XX

(For the record – we did eventually get together on New Years Eve/Day)

 




 

Infinity – Alex & Lisa [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Today I bring you Alex and Lisa‘s wedding tattoos, which they got whilst on their honeymoon. Here is their story:


“So we got our wedding tattoos on our honeymoon in San Francisco.
We where both tattooed by Ryan Shaffer at Picture Machine http://sftattoo.com/
We decided to get tattoos to mark our wedding because it was such a important time to us and we really wanted to mark the start of our next adventure.  Having been together almost 14 years when we got married, it just seemed the right thing for us to do.

“Alex and I both got infinity symbols. Alex has drawn the infinity symbol on all my cards. Whether is was a birthday, anniversary or xmas card, there was always an infinity symbol drawn on the card and he even had it engraved on my engagement ring.

The infinity symbol refers to a quantity without bound or end.”

 I love the story behind their tattoos, very awesome!  – Rach.XX

Tattoos, Frills & A Fountain – Trash The Dress [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Say hello to Kelly! How gorgeous is this bride?!! Her pastel dress, peach tones and her HAIR! I love that colour!

Today I bring you a shoot from Paris and LA photographer Juliane Berry.


This lovely lady is covered in beautiful ink and I love how summery and warm these pictures are. The water in that fountain look so perfect! The Bride’s dress is from Betesy Johnson and Tarino Tarantino shoes and jewellery. Her tattoos are so bold and colourful, yet look so soft from the lighting. She is too cute!

Do leave Juliane some lovely comments on this gorgeous shoot! – Rach.XX


A Midnight Melody [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Today I bring you images from Jessica Vellecorsa whose photography sure is an inky treat for the eyes! (You’ll see what I mean if you hit the blog!)

Here is what Jess says:

If there is one thing I love, it’s unique wedding photography. And when you pair it with night time portraits, I’m in heaven. I get to photograph bridals AND play with dramatic lighting?!?! Swoon….!

So when Jessica and I decided to do bridal portraits after dark, I went on a search for the perfect location. We headed to Hotel Zaza in Houston and explored the surrounding around, including St Paul’s church. The location was absolutely to die for, and we thought it would be perfect with some dramatic lighting!

I totally agree! My favourite is her owl chest piece! Do leave some love for both Jessicas! – Rach.XX
