Vintage And Couture Bridalwear By Glory Days

MMI_4985

Marry Me Ink loves all tattooed brides, especially when paired with timeless vintage dresses like these from Glory Days Vintage and Couture Bridalwear. Using a breathtaking medieval church as the backdrop, photographer Steven Eric Parker caught the dresses in a beautiful light.  Hayley of Glory Days shared the images with me and I just had to share!

Steven and I have worked together many times before, and when he mentioned he could get access to shoot in a beautiful Medieval church in North Yorkshire we knew we absolutely had to take the opportunity.

I asked Rachel from Ducks & Daffodils to make us some flower crowns which were open at the back so we could use them as collars too, and she also made us some fresh flower cuffs.  I love how they turned out, the sweet pea collar was beautiful!

Ducks and Daffodils are a local florist who specialise in organic seasonal local flowers, grown and arranged by themselves in York, and when they came on board for the shoot and I had managed to book the beautiful Katie to model we decided to let the gorgeous blooms and Katie’s stunning array of tattoos speak for themselves by keeping everything else as simple as possible.

A Wedding Of Motorcycles, Hot Rods And Love – Hannah & Rob

MMI_5030

Today’s tattooed bride and groom is Hannah and Rob. They both met each other online which, even though they both only joined it because it was free, Hannah said that  she found to learn so much more about Rob because of only being able to communicate via phone after the first initial messages. Their day was beautifully captured by Milwaukee based fine art wedding photographer McKenna Marie.

Really, the entirety of the day was a true representation to who we are as a couple. We made a point of keeping the cost of everything under $2,000 and successfully did so! We wanted our guests to be as comfortable as possible and encouraged them to arrive on their motorcycles and in their hot rods. Our relationship has been built on motorcycles, hot rods, and love. We wanted that to be an element to the day. We did not serve a meal which in turn saved on cost and instead opted for a cocktail hour with a nacho bar since Rob could basically live off them. We couldn’t believe how many people raved about how delicious they were.

We hung lights everywhere we could in the barn to give it a rustic, romantic, cozy vibe. The feel was truly that perfect summer night.
