A Fun, Colourful, “KAPOW!” Engagement – Samy & Stephen [Tattooed Bride Blog]

 

This is one of my favourite engagement shoots I’ve posted on the blog so far! I saw these images previous to Zoe sending me a lovely message over on the Photos By Zoe blog where  Samy & Stephen look like they were having so much fun, despite nearly being blown away by the blustery conditions.

 

 

Unfortunately, Zoe won’t spill any details of their wedding apart from there being some fab spots around the venue they ave chosen. I can’t wait to see those images later on this year!
Samy & Stephen look like such a fun couple to be with, all the colourful tattoos, skate parks, Samy’s “Boing” necklace & Stephen’s exceptional pouting against the brickwork.

 

 

As for their tattoos, Samy tells me that Stephen is quite the addict, with both of his arms covered – one serious, one silly (I love the “KAPOW!” tattoo). One of his next tattoos is a dot-to-dog dragon, which Samy gets to colour in!
As for Samy herself, she is currently planning her first quarter sleeve for before the wedding but is currently finding it hard to find an artist that she likes.

 

 

SEE! Aren’t they sun a fun couple?!! Do take a look here through the photos, I can’t wait to see images of their wedding!

Do leave some love for photographer Zoe and for Samy & Stephen.
Also, if you have any tattooists that you like you could leave Samy a comment on who you like/who did yours. My personal favourite tattooists are Laura of Legends Tattoo Studio (She’s a good friend who designed and inked all of mine) and then there’s obviously Nic of Songbird Tattoo Studio.

Have a great week guys! – Rach.X

An Ace, Naturally Tattooed Wedding – Stuart & Antonia [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Good evening! Today I bring you the wedding of Stuart & Antonia – A fabulous tattooed couple who celebrate in a Canterbury youth hostel! Emma Lucy contacted me with these images and they are so gorgeous!

Antonia made her own dress and it looks stunning and her string of pearls were made for her by Stuart’s Grandmother which were passed down to his Mother- such gorgeous colours that fits perfectly with her tattoos and the natural colour theme which they integrated throughout their day.

Here a few words about Stuart & Antonia’s day from Emma:

They put on a great party with the vibe of a house party (even had a big garden fire) where Stuart and their friends DJ’ed until the early hours and people kipped overnight in the dorms.

Slight hitch of the day – Stuart’s classic car broke down just as they were leaving the reception, I’ll never forget the sight of Antonia in her wedding dress and heels pushing the car through the centre of Canterbury! Unfortunately I would have caused a hazard if I had stopped to take a photo!”

This is one beautiful wedding! Do look through all the photos – it looks like such a fun day!
And their rings are epic! – Rach.XX

Marry Me Ink Hits Manchester! [Tattooed Bride Blog]

So here they are – FINALLY! I’ve been SOOOOO excited about sharing this shoot with you!

It all started out with a little message from Andrea Ellison Photography with regards to a wedding she’s recently done featuring a lovely tattooed bride (To be coming up on the blog soon!) as to if I could use her images.. More messages were exchanged and I was asked if I ever wanted to do a shoot for the Marry Me Ink site – She’s be up for doing so.

As you know – I was SO up for that! Details were exchanged and I was informed that we’d also be joined by Claire Penn Photography, Maria Bentley of Studio 1208 AND Victoria Thomas Make Up (The most fantastic/crazy/pink haired lady you ever did see!)

HA! Isn’t Victoria just fantastical?! After setting a date of when – it was a case of what themes, where the hell to get a dress and where to do all the shots. All being Northern lasses, Manchester was our central point and their Northern Quarter is TOO funky not to shoot in! Being a HUGE Afflecks Palace advocate, where better for me to parade around in a dress, no?!!

I didn’t need to look far for a dress – Kate Youdale of The Party Frock kindly offered to make me a dress.. Yes, that’s right – MAKE!! LOTS of tulle, in many colours – Ivory, royal blue & emerald green!

The epic spotty shoes are my own – Irregular Choice of course! As for hair accessories.. Anissa Lee offered to give her helping hand in providing some epic hair pieces, including a massive bow and a cute top hat! The sugar skull fascinator was supplied the wonderful Diablo Jo’s Rockabilly Accessories (which I may add – they have been kind enough to let me keep!). The gorgeous skully nesting doll necklace & ring were provided by the very talented Dolly Cool.
I seriously cannot thank everyone enough for all of their time and effort into making these items and letting us use them for the shoot. 

From drinking tea in the cafe to being bombarded by the public’s own tattoos & cameras – Manchester sure was tonnes of fun! And here it is again – a huge, HUGE thank you to everyone involved!

Do leave Andrea, Claire & Maria big love for their images they provided me with and for Victoria, Kate, Anissa, Diablo Jo’s, Afflecks Palace and Dolly Cool for being so generous with their time and supplies! – BIG LOVE! – Rach.XX
