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 Tattooed, Rustic Wedding At Shepherd’s Field – Katie & Wesley

Posted on April 23, 2015 | 1 comment

Today I get to share with you this gorgeous outdoor wedding of Katie and Wesley, which is perfect for our current weather! They were married at Shepherd’s Field in Oregon with wonderful images from N-E Photography.

We actually work together, and that’s where it all started.. We had been friends for a few years but nothing romantic. I always had a secret crush on him, but I was in a serious relationship at the time, and he always had flings of his own! Finally things with my ex were starting to crumble and I started to confide in him for advice because I trusted him. He ended up sweeping me off my feet and showing me what I really needed!

The highlight of our wedding was getting to share my vows. We wrote our own vows and I had poured my heart into mine and made sure that they were absolutely perfect. Also getting to see him cry as I read them to him. It was just the most special moment.

A Tattooed Fairytale Wedding In Kent – Katie & Warren

Posted on April 17, 2015 | 3 comments

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share tattooed bride and groom Katie and Warren’s Preston Court wedding from Rob Grimes Photography. I think Katie makes a gorgeous tattooed Jenny Packham bride too!

Warren & I met at a bar in Liverpool. We both believe everything happens for a reason and boy – are we glad we made it out that night… Warren was still in the army at the time and wasn’t supposed to be on leave that weekend, it was only at the last minute on the Friday he was told he could go home. And I had had a mad busy week at work and was in no mood for a night out, only going as it was for a friends birthday. Nearly 10years later we’re both still so thankful for that particular weekend leave & birthday night out!!

We chose to do a lot of things ourselves, out of enjoyment, to help keep me calm knowing everything would be exactly how I/we wanted it and it also made everything more personal for us. The day before the wedding, Warren and I had done all the floral centrepieces and made the buttonholes for our guests. The night before the wedding, my sister & I made our bouquets and my headpiece. This was my something old & borrowed from my auntie as I used my late Nanas pearl necklace sewed to two hairslides. We also done all our own decorations in both barns. In the weeks leading up to the wedding we had everyone saving us their old glass jars for the flowers, which my mum helped me decorate with burlap (I am now sick of burlap haha) and lace to fit in with the rusticness of the venue.

A Coastal Wedding In Florida – Sarah & Ben

Posted on April 9, 2015 | 8 comments

Today I get you share with the gorgeous wedding of tattooed bride Sarah and husband Ben from Orlando wedding photographer Gian Carlo Photography. Sarah is probably on of the most heavily tattooed brides I’ve had the chance to feature on Marry Me Ink, and she looks absolutely gorgeous!

We actually met on match.com. I had made my profile, forgot about it..never paid. One day I decided to log on and pay for a month (what’s the worst that could happen?). I then went to lunch, came back and had an email from Ben (my now husband). We met 3 days later, deleted our accounts and were stuck to each other like glue. We both had dreams about each other before we ever met…! It was fate.

We are not traditional people, so we didn’t want a bouquet or garter toss. We had a cake and the toppers were our 4 dogs, Lucy, Lola, Maggie and Charles. It was just a laid back night of music, food and friends. We also had our Bulldog Lucy be the ring bearer.

Almost every single thing was made by loving hands. My mother made the most amazing bouquet out of old brooches and pins. She searched for a year and also had family and friends donate them. I tear up just thinking about it. All the center pieces were made of photos, old cameras, antiques and found items. Instead of a guestbook, I put out scrapbook paper, stickers, markers and tape so people could make small pieces of art for us. I then put them into the scrapbook and have it displayed in our home. Everything had a personal touch, something I’m very proud of.
