Something brides often talk to me about is their tattoos. Many of us have them now days – some of us are proud of our body art and some of us are embarrassed by the dodgy Chinese proverb we got that time in Malaga. But even brides who are proud of their tattoos can be keen to cover them up – many couples want their wedding to be timeless; they don’t want to look back at photos and say “what were we thinking?!” My point of view is this: If you’re proud of your tatts, get them out. (Please note, I’m thinking of arms, backs, that kind of thing – I’m not suggesting you wear chaps to the altar to make sure everyone can see your favourite bum tattoo!) There’s always a chance that in a few decades you won’t agree with some of your style choices, but so what?

The outside setting is also easily replicated, which means you can have this type of field wedding anywhere and everywhere (with proper permission, of course). And though the countryside backdrop steals the show in this outdoor wedding photo session, I really wanted to also bring attention to the […]

Just sometimes, I am lucky enough to put together an entire day full of photographic beauty! I get to arrange all of the elements and play with pretty things while creating some inspiring imagery.
