Vintage Rock ‘n Roll Wedding by Jeremy Lawson, II
I’m not really a tattoo kind of girl myself…but I have this weird love affair with tattooed brides. Something about the rock ‘n roll style meets frilly white wedding dress just makes me happy. And THIS bride just happens to be drop dead gorgeous so the whole shebang is pure awesomeness. Jeremy Lawson, the brilliant photographer behind these images, really lucks out with his pretty, pretty brides!
Jeremy’s photographs ALWAYS give me the butterflies. And I normally say “OHHHHH!” out loud the minute that I open one of his emails. His work is just soulful. It’s got that special sauce that is so unique to Jeremy, that extra something that the finest photographs are made of. And I love that he is willing to share them with us on SMP!
Here is a list of vendors that participated in this ridiculously lovely wedding. Photography by Jeremy Lawson Photography / Dessert + Food – Hot Chocolate / Reception/Food – The Violet Hour / Hair – Sine Qua Non / Makeup – Karen Brody / Ceremony & Flowers – Asrai Garden / Photobooth – 312PhotoBooth
Thank you so much to Jeremy and his team for sending over this inspiring wedding! And to the GORGEOUS bride and groom for making me really happy. May you have many, many years that are filled to the brim with love, laughter and unabashed style.
What fabulous Bansky-esque graffiti art- such a quirky/cool idea for a wedding!
Awesome! I love seeing how different people bring their weddings to life with their interests and style. so cool!
Where did she find that amazing dress???
I'm absolutely in LOVE with everything about this wedding AND this photographer!!
Awe...I adore this unique and intimate wedding! Amazing vintage style photographs too. If you live in Chicago, you must try all of the places she has listed. Random, but I think the bride was our waitress when we went to Avec awhile back. Thank you for sharing! I hope to see more!
I love the style of this wedding, the vintage style against her beautiful ink makes a beautiful contrast.
I love this!! the bride is beautiful and edgy! Love this wedding!
I second the question about her dress--where did she find it?
So interesting. When I first started seeing brides with tatoos, I thought it was distracting and took away from the dress. But these newer "sleeve" tatoos are a different story. They seem to become part of the dress and it flows organically.
She looks beautiful.
Oops! I should have spelled it "tattoo".
So I'm helping a friend in NY find ideas for flowers and other details for her January wedding. I'm looking at this wedding and totally fell in love with the bridal bouquet and ceremony venue ...and then realized that it's Asrai Garden which is one of the most creative, coolest, nicest, unpretentious floral shops in the city of Chicago. Plus reception/food from The Violet Hour?? Man, I wish I would have been a wedding guest. Well done!
