A Punk Engagement Shoot at The Custard Factory – Rich & Louise [Tattoo Bride Blog]

Posted on February 27, 2012 | 6 comments

These images are just too cool! When Samantha of Samantha J Photography sent me a link to this colourful engagement shoot, the first thing I noticed was how cute Louise & Rich were – seriously, it looked like they they totally loved their engagement shoot with Samantha.

How awesome is Louise’s hair? I love the colour!

“When Louise & Rich booked me to photograph their wedding I was soooooo excited…it’s unreal!!

“I was bowled over at the mention of halloween fancy dress at the reception, the wedding shoes having bats on them..
BUT when Rich mentioned he was possibly going to be covered in UV body paint during the evening I nearly fainted!!

“So..I knew that their engagement shoot HAD to be different..it absolutely had to reflect their personalities & as I had recently done a fashion/bridal shoot at the Custard Factory in Birmingham…I just knew it was perfect.

So we headed off one Sunday & had a fantastic time… BOY I can’t wait to photograph their big day!!!!!“

Seriously? Fancy dress? HECK YES! Boy I can’t wait for that wedding!
Big thanks to Samantha for sharing these gorgeous photos, and for Louise & Rich for sharing some of their secret peeps into how awesome their wedding is going to be!

Don’t forget to leave some love!

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

Posted on February 15, 2012 | 3 comments

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!

Accessories Ahoy! Friday 10th February 2012: Dolly Cool

Posted on February 10, 2012 | 3 comments

“Cool Jewels For Rockin’ Gals!”

Welcome to a new fortnightly post for Marry Me Ink!.. To which I’ll be focusing on alternative accessories for the tattooed lady!

In celebration of Dolly Cool‘s third birthday this week (and because Clare is awesome!) I though why not feature some of her wonderful range on the site?!!

Dolly Cool is inspired on Clare’s love of Rockabilly, Tattoos and the 50s – What’s not to love?!! All jewellery is hand drawn & coloured on hard wearing plastic and then attached to silver plated low-nickel

Seriously – I am totally in love with the new Skele & Spotty Owl range! (And of course the awesome anchor & sailor octopus!)
