Today I get to share with you the awesome wedding of Lou & Aaron, who created a lot of their wedding extras themselves (including the band themed table plan) with images from Luna Photography.

Many details represented Lou & Aaron as a couple including their fantastic cake topper and sugar skulls in the flowers and button holes. Lou and the bridesmaids’ beautiful dresses were from Fairytales By Sherry and their wedding reception took place at the Lion & Swan Hotel in Congleton.

An Evening Under The Stars – Maria & Sam

2013.10: MC & SH - Wedding Photographs

Today I get to share with you the rad wedding of Maria & Sam from What The F4 Photography.. They both met through friends at Roller Derby.

“I spotted Sam’s tattoos and beard and thought he looked interesting. He won me over with his sense of humour and big heart.. For Sam I think it was my tattooed thighs!”

I don’t have a creative bone in my body! This is when the little independent shops and Etsy came in handy! Being able to have our wedding reception on a boat with Halloween decorations made it fun and very special.

As I was able to design my dress with Sophie Creed of Ears and Whiskers at Hubbard’s Cupboard from scratch, I didn’t really have to take too much into consideration. The only this I was adamant about was that I didn’t want lace or any other kind of sleeves – It was important that I was able to be me and show my ink off!

A Tattooed, DIY Liverpool Wedding – Claire & Paul

2014-01-04_0012

Today I get to share this awesome wedding that took place at the amazing Leaf On Bold Street in Liverpool, full of DIY goodness, a Vivienne Of Holloway dress and many more, with gorgeous photography from Emma Hillier Photography.

I love hearing how Marry Me Ink couples meet and Claire & Paul’s story is great..

Paul is the Studio Manager of Forever True Tattoo in Liverpool and I started getting tattooed there and that’s how we first met and since then we would also bump into each other at gigs!

We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding they had been to. People loved how relaxed and laid back it was and just danced away all night.

“The whole thought of a wedding was very daunting to us, we are just not that kinda couple.”

We scrapped the whole formal dinner and decided to get married late in the day. We chose Leaf on Bold Street as our evening venue. We loved the vibe of the place and eat there regularly so we knew we’d feel comfortable there… plus they make a mean halloumi sandwich. Becky who is their wedding planner was brilliant and was so easy going about the whole day.
