A Rustic Junkyard Trash The Dress Shoot – Jeanna [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Good evening! And welcome to this exciting trash the dress shoot that I discovered of Jeanna!
I was lucky to come across Jeanna on the So Tattooed forum (A place for tattooed lovelies, artists and businesses to discuss the wonders of ink) around a month ago and saw sneak peeks of these photos (Seriously.. wait till you see the rest!) taken by photographer Stephanie Rose.

A few emails were exchanged between myself, Stephanie & Jeanna and here we have it.. A gorgeous, rustic, junkyard trash the dress shoot!

I have gotten all of my tattoos in memorial of my best friend who died over 10 years ago. We were always with each other and were known as the JJ girls. So everything I have is just a constant reminder of her and to live each day to the fullest because you never know when it could be cut short. So I have a cross with smaller crosses coming off of it that represents her passing and the last gift I got from her (a cross bracelet), Easter lilies because those were her favorite flowers, a faceless angel with wings of fire because I believe she is my guardian angel and she was always firey :), a Dali inspired piano because we both played and Dali is one of my favorite artists.

A Phoenix because I believe in life after death, a 13 for the day she died, a 14 for the day she was born and a black widow sparrow with a green eye that represents her in death.

The shoot was a blast! We went to this awesome junk yard in Denton, TX that just has acres and acres of old cars and car parts. We both love vintage things, so we just trecked across the junkyard looking for cool things for me to take pictures with.

The shoot idea was actually an idea from my wedding photographer, Stephanie Rose. She had been wanting to do one, so I told her I was totally up for it!

I would TOTALLY recommend doing a trash the dress shoot! It is a fun way to get more use out your wedding dress after all!

A HUGE thank you for Stephanie & Jeanna for allowing to share their photos.. Just wait until you see all of Jeanna’s tattoos!

Nic & Mike’s DIY Vintage, Tattooed, Tea-stained Wedding [Tattooed Bride Blog]



Today I bring a spectacular wedding from Assassynation – a photographer who also  loves a bit of ink!


Nic and Mike got married back in June this year and everything was DIY! After exchanging vows at Exeter registry office and some fantastic photos – they held their reception in their own back garden which included handmade cupcakes!

Nic owns her own business – Songbird Tattoo where she specialises  in blackwork, dotwork and mehndi styles..
Just look at their tattoos – they’re so beautiful! (Nic also designed Mike’s tattoos!)

Nic’s dress was from Unique Vintage & was very white when it arrived, to which Nic then decided to stain in Earl Gray and coffee which later happened to her House of Fraser bolero! From the top of her handcrafted brooch headpiece down to her Irregular Choice shoes (which were the first item to be purchased!), Nic looked fabulous in 50s vintage and made an utterly beautiful tattooed bride and such a cute tattooed couple too! And they have an owl cushion!!

 

(Kat at Rock n Roll Bride also featured this wedding in June.. You can see her write up here)

Be sure to leave Sassy some praise and some love to Nic & Mike below!
