Marry Me Ink Loves Kelly J Photography

Posted on May 5, 2015 | Comments Off

Happy May! Today I get to introduce you to the totally awesome Kelly J Photography. Originally from the North West (Like Marry Me Ink!), Kelly is now based in Somerset.

I’m Kel, the crazy bird lady behind Kelly J Photography. I like to think my style is fun, laid back with crap load of personality. Down to earth, alternative couples are the best and I’m also great with people who are camera shy. Now based in Somerset but originally from the North West and travel all over the country and abroad for super awesome weddings.

I’m really inspired by all the different environments I’m in and try and include as much of that in my work as possible, I adore nature but I also love a good abandoned building. Other things that inspire me are music, films and the couples I am fortunate to work with.

A Peacock Coloured, Norman Santa Fe Depot Wedding – Dawn & Brent

Posted on January 29, 2015 | Comments Off

I love how totally unique today’s tattooed bride and groom are! Dawn and Brent’s wedding took place at the Norman Santa Fe Depot – not only a railway station, but a gallery, concert venue and a beautiful space. I got the chance to speak to photographer Robyn Icks about Dawn and Brent’s wedding day..

Dawn and Brent’s wedding had tons of wonderful elements that I just adore: authentic souls, lovely nature, springtime, family, love, tears, purples and blues, peacock feathers, tattoos and piercings galore, guitars, trains and an extremely charming location.

For an April wedding, I have to say the weather actually pleasantly surprised me. It was, hands-down, the best weather I’ve ever experienced at a wedding. It stayed about 70degrees and slightly overcast the whole day, which equals a photographer’s dream.

And speaking of a photographer’s dream, The Santa Fe Historical Depot in Norman is an absolutely lovely and stellar location for a wedding venue! I love the historic ambiance and all of the local art featured inside. Definitely recommended for your venue.

An Art Filled, Peak District Wedding – Laura & Gary

Posted on January 16, 2015 | 1 comment

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you this amazing tattooed bride and groom from Yorkshire alternative wedding photographers Tux & Tales.. Laura and Gary’s had a Peak District wedding at Cubley Hall. Both of them are art orientated (Gary being a fab tattooist) and Laura designed all of their stationery.

We first met back in 2006 when my friend introduced us and Gary (Brownie) did my first ever tattoo. We didn’t cross paths again until 2008 when I came to Sheffield to study Graphic Design at University. We arranged our first date and have been together ever since! It was like we had known each other for years.

We wanted to try and hand make as much at our wedding as possible, which was really hard but with us both being creative people it felt important to add our own personal touches. I had little mini easels for the table numbers to show our artistic side. The Tea light holders and bunting were made by my amazing Grandma and Mum. I designed and hand printed all the invites and stationery including the signs and table plan. And for favours, my Mum made baileys flavoured cupcakes for everyone.

ASSASSYNATION – Shot By Sassy

Posted on July 16, 2014 | 1 comment

Today I get to welcome back the wonderful Sassy – One of the awesome alternative wedding photographers of the whole UK. I had the opportunity to chat to Sassy recently and ask her a few questions about what she loves and her photography.

Hey there, I’m Sassy!! Otherwise known as Assassynation photography. I LOVE weddings, particularly weddings with a difference. Ones with some serious personality, one’s where it gets a bit crazy……..basically anything fun.

Ummm I have quite a few, I have a chest piece, a whole back piece, my ring finger has a traditional Thai symbol on it which I had done with bamboo during my vow renewal, I have a hand tapped Thai yant on my wrist, I have my charm bracelet which documents the interesting places I go and people I meet that have impacted on my life….. This I’ll be adding to forever!!

People who know who they are, people who are unapologetic about their uniqueness and who refuse to be sidetracked in to doing “what everybody else does”. I love creative, interesting and alternative people who judge people on their merits not what designer label they wear, what colour their hair is or what the fact that they have tattoos. Basically if you are unusual, a bit weird, totally bonkers, and eccentric or straying from the norm I am going to love you and you are what inspire me to do this.

Whatever the hell you want!! Don’t be bullied in to anything, be brave, be yourself!! If you want a corpse bride dress, or a leopard print dress, or you want to show off your tatts then do it. It’s your day!!
