A Northern, Gothic & Tattooed Wedding By The Sea – Samantha & Stuart

Posted on August 16, 2018 | 1 comment

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you this beautiful coastal wedding full of gothic animal skulls and a cute tattoo station from Photography and Film by Charli. 

We first met each other as I was friends with Stu’s sister, bumped into them and it was the first time we’d ever been introduced, he asked for my number and text me the next day asking for a date! 

We had lots of DIY bits at our wedding – Since we wanted something a bit different for our day, it wasn’t always easy to source something that was of the right theme. We used lots of animal skulls and gothic features which mirrored our personalities! We also had a tattoo station which was perfect for us, since we are both tattooed and planning more!

The tattoo station was all made by us, that was a lot of fun to build and paint! The bunting for the top table and the memorial candle box display too. It was great seeing all the hard work pay off and all the people we love so much having an amazing time.

Dorothy & Tin Man – Wizard Of Oz Wedding Inspiration

Posted on June 15, 2018 | 2 comments

We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto! Today on Marry Me Ink I get to take you to Oz with you this enchanting styled shoot from Kieran Paul Photography which was created by Jen of My Pretties UK and her team of flying monkeys (I mean some awesome Northern wedding suppliers).

The original idea for this shoot was brought to me by Emma McNamara from Ochre Eclective, she said she had an idea for a really alternative Wizard of Oz invitation and if anyone was planning a shoot, could she come in on it.. So my mind started working overtime as it often does and I volunteered my services to get it up and running. (If I am honest with a name like My Pretties, a Oz themed shoot had always been on the cards!) 

My first search was for a venue in the heart of Yorkshire that had beautiful yellow fields, I was adamant that this shoot needed to take place outdoors and Thief Hall in Northallerton was stunning! Kieran Paul Photography was an obvious choice for me, his easy going nature and preference for natural light meant he was able to capture such vibrant images. 

I knew I wanted the over all look to be vivid and vibrant, like the scene where Dorothy lands in Oz and it shifts from black and white to ‘smack you in the face’ technicolor. We went with a classic vintage look for our Dorothy with help from Elsie Vee Vintage dress design – she used an original 1940’s dress pattern to create the stunning dress, Doll’s Mad Hattery took Dorothy’s classic blue bow and added a birdcage veil. For hair and makeup we stuck to a classic 40s pinup look and we were very excited to have lingerie loaned to us by the fabulous ‘What Katie Did‘. Our Tin Man groom had a lot of steampunk elements to his look with fabulous makeup, headpiece and tie to accompany his awesome suit supplied by Dandy Threads.

A Tattooed Gamer Wedding In Lancashire – Lianne & Dan

Posted on April 10, 2018 | Comments Off on A Tattooed Gamer Wedding In Lancashire – Lianne & Dan

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you an awesome Northern wedding from Tattooed Wedding Photography. Lianne and Dan got married at Garstang Country Hotel and had nerdy elements such as a Pokeball ring box. What a great way to combine a classic “white wedding” with their own personality.

The whole day was amazing. My highlight was probably seeing Dan’s face when I walked down the aisle. I’ve never seen him look so happy. Dan’s says his highlight was when we were saying the vows and I was holding his hand, he could tell I was nervous and excited at the time. Also having the music we love playing in the evening.

I knew I didn’t want a dress with a lace top or sleeves so my tattoos could be seen better. I went dress shopping with an open mind, tried loads on and my maid of honour burst into tears when I tried this one on so I knew I had a winner.

Stef & Adam’s York Elopement

Posted on March 27, 2018 | 1 comment

This morning on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you Stef & Adam’s elopement from Frozen Shutter Photography. They both met when they were teenagers, went their own ways and found each other again five years ago. It was like they were never apart!

The simplicity of it all reflected us as a couple. We just wanted to do our own thing and spend as much time together as possible. There really wasn’t much to do in terms of planning and prepping for the wedding! No guests means no invites, no fancy tables, no bridesmaids – Eloping was certainly the right choice!
