A DIY Beer Garden Wedding – Charlotte & Tom

Posted on May 25, 2020 | 1 comment

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you Charlotte & Tom’s Nottingham wedding from Nathan Walker Photography. Charlotte and her Mum created lots of the decor for the day including their bouquets and wedding favours – Charlotte even got her dress from a charity shop and had it altered to fit.

“It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg! If you are willing to make things yourself and spend the time it’s really worth it. I also found that it made it so much more personal and meant so much more when you saw your handy work displayed.”

We both are quite alternative and didn’t want anything traditional so we just followed our own path with a lot of things – Tattoos were on display and having our reception under a marquee where we had spent many a summer night out in their beer garden just felt right. Oh, and we also had quotes from the Peep Show as centre pieces – me and Tom love that show!

A Walt Disney World Elopement – Nicki & Brett

Posted on October 21, 2019 | 1 comment

This year we went to Disney and I’m missing it already.. Nicki and Brett’s elopement at Walt Disney World could not have arrived at a better time in my inbox from Carmela Blackwell Photography!

Brett & I met at work. We spoke in passing for a few months then one day we went out for a drink after work and moved in together a week later – we have been inseparable ever since (and still work together). We got together, engaged and married on the same date of each different year since we met.

We had lots of details that represented us – Brett loves skulls and I love Disney so the cake, flowers and colour scheme was inspired by the Disney movie Coco due to the Day of the Dead celebrations. We absolutely loved our cake as it was black but with lots of bright coloured details.

The whole day was magical from start to finish; it is hard to pick just one highlight. Our first look at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge was amazing when we saw each other for the first time, made even more special when a little boy shouted “look mummy it’s a princess.”

We loved walking down the aisle together- it was just the two of us at the wedding and it was kept a secret so we loved that we could enjoy every aspect of the day together on our own.

The people we saw around Disney were so lovely. We had pictures in the lounge at the Yacht Club and were given champagne and the baker came out to present us with a gorgeous white chocolate Mickey Mouse statue and balloons.

A Bright Blue & Tattoo Themed Couple Shoot – Gerard & Christine

Posted on January 8, 2014 | 1 comment

I love bright hair colours, and Christine’s is fabulous (I’m getting quite a few brides with awesome hair recently). Honey & The Moon Photography put a call out on Twitter with some quite detailed specifications:

“Do you live in Belfast? Do you have electric blue hair? Do you have a lot of tattoos? Do you have a bf? Is he bearded? We need YOU!”

With a number of replies, married couple Gerard & Christine were chosen for this amazing supplier-filled shoot!

Honey and the Moon Photography’s ethos is to treat every single customer the same! We are everyone friendly, so no matter who you are, where you live or who you love, we love you! You do you and we’ll photograph you doing it!

We’ve always been of the opinion that styled photo shoots should be the most extreme example of what wedding vendors can do, because they are the catwalk of the wedding industry. The international fashion shows tend to inspire what is seen on the high street and don’t usually sell their outlandish designs to the general public, so we believe that is what wedding vendors should be doing! They should be inspiring their potential customers, showing their most creative side and selling their skills!

In September last year, we were to exhibit at the Quirky Wedding Fair at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast and after getting to know some of the exhibitors we decided to organise a collaborative effort and create something truly unique and well, quirky!

“Inspired by tattoos and all things alternative we asked the suppliers to go as nuts as they wanted as long as it had some relation to tattoos.”

Rock The Night Away – Samy & Stephen’s Wedding

Posted on January 11, 2013 | 12 comments

You might remember Samy & Stephen’s engagement shoot back in January LAST YEAR!! See the full feature here. WELL.. The wonderful Photos By Zoe sent me through their wedding, and I’ve been teasing you about it on Facebook!Samy & Stephen met through mutual friends on separate nights out.

“It was love at first sight and we’ve been together ever since.”

“From the 1950’s bridesmaid dresses, to the rock DJ, the day was full of small details that were not “traditional”. Our invitations were full of skulls and roses and our first dance was “Guns and Roses – Think about you” We laughed from the ceremony all the way to the end of the night. It was great fun!”
