Hannah and Sally's Heavy Metal Wedding

Charlotte Yates

First of all, this shoot is from 2017, I’m not really sure how it’s suddenly 3 years ago but hey, we updated our website and lost all our previous blogs, but this shoot is so unreal it deserves another showcase. The colours, our gorgeous couple and the Metal AF attitude are all really empowering and I LOVE it!!!

The really sad thing about sharing this shoot now is that the coordinator that brought this shoot together is no longer in the wedding industry and my heart breaks! Kudos to Michaela of Clear Hearts for bringing this shoot to life…

This shoot comes from a desire to represent women and femmes in wedding media as bold yet bridal. It’s important to everyone in this shoot to be completely inclusive, to show that you can be a real princess on your big day, just by being yourself. Even if you don’t fit into the stereotypical “bride” mould. Moulds can be broken, and it’s okay to paint them black.

This couple are strong, daring, madly in love and blissfully married. They’re ready to rock, do shots and dance the night away into eternity. Their colour choices are a gorgeous winter palette of black, red and purple, with a hint of silver from intricate patterns of piercing studs. We wanted to create an original and exciting day of tattoos, Jack Daniels (instead of champagne, obviously) and capture the enjoyment of their love and their friends celebrating at their dream reception.

From a tattoo artist creating matching tattoos, to synchronised headbanging to their favourite song, this shoot is a kick-ass statement that women don’t have to be sugar-sweet to be bridal. Your day is your day, and love is love!

Hannah wore Nyx

Nyx is available in 2 lace options, this floral paisley shown over nude bodice and in a pure floral lace shown over a black bodice in our shop.

She’s demure yet daring, effortless and confident. With high neckline and full length gown and sleeve you can be forgiven in thinking she hides herself away – yet her figure hugging style, completely backless design and cutaway lining reveal a strength of attitude unrivalled. Add in metal AF details like the Gothic arch train and there’s no turning back.

Sal wore Liberty

This unique 2 piece is an absolute show stopper. Sexy as hell skirt to show off those pins; crazy flattering ruffles and demure train. Teamed up with fully boned corset and Metal AF chains and spikes decorating the shoulders. No apologies, this bride means business!
