Your wedding photos should be as badass as you are. And if you and your partner are covered in ink, why the hell wouldn’t you want to show that off? Tattooed couple wedding photography isn’t just a trend—it’s a way to celebrate who you are, unapologetically. Forget the stiff, posed shots that don’t feel like you. Let’s capture your love, your story, and, of course, your sick tattoos in a way that’s raw, real, and uniquely you.

Oh, and if you’re feeling extra bold? You can get a tattoo on your actual wedding day—a permanent way to mark the moment (literally). Matching tattoos, wedding date ink, or a spontaneous “fuck it, let’s do this” piece? I’m here for all of it.



Tattoos aren’t just ink on skin. They tell a story—your story. They mark memories, milestones, and the dumb decisions that somehow became your favorite pieces (looking at you, that 2 AM matching tattoo in Vegas). So why hide them on your wedding day?

Tattooed couple wedding photography is all about embracing your individuality. Whether you’ve got full sleeves, a delicate floral design, or an entire back piece dedicated to your cat (no judgment, that’s iconic), your tattoos deserve the spotlight.

Well, she can deal. Your wedding photos should be a reflection of you, not someone else’s outdated opinions. And if she asks, just say your tattoos are “temporary.”

Tattooed couple wedding photography captures love and ink in a bold, artistic way. Show off your tattoos—or get new ones on your wedding day!

Want your tattoos to be front and center in your wedding photos? Here are some creative ways to make sure they shine:

If you’ve got arm tattoos, show ‘em off. Sleeveless dresses, rolled-up shirt sleeves, or even a badass vest can make sure your ink is on full display.

Detail shots aren’t just for rings. Your tattoos tell a love story too, whether it’s matching ink, anniversary dates, or that spontaneous piece you got together on your first road trip.

A good photographer (hi, it’s me) will know how to use lighting and angles to make your tattoos pop in the most dramatic and artistic ways possible.

Got floral tattoos? Match them with your bouquet. Rocking some gothic ink? Let’s lean into a darker, moodier vibe. Your tattoos can influence the entire aesthetic of your wedding photography.


  • For the dress-wearers: Off-the-shoulder, backless, or sleeveless styles work wonders for showcasing tattoos.
  • For the suit-wearers: Rolled-up sleeves, vests, or even going jacket-free can let your ink take center stage.
  • For everyone: Neutral tones make colorful tattoos stand out, while darker outfits can enhance black-and-gray pieces.

But at the end of the day, wear whatever the hell makes you feel amazing.


Want to make your wedding day even more unforgettable? Consider getting a tattoo on the actual day. Whether it’s a tiny, subtle piece or a full-on commitment to the moment, wedding day tattoos are becoming more popular, and honestly, it’s a badass way to seal the deal.

  • Your wedding date in roman numerals or handwritten script
  • Matching symbols or phrases
  • A design that represents your love story
  • “Til Death” or “Forever” (if you’re feeling extra romantic)
  • Something totally random just for the fun of it (spicy lil’ inside joke, anyone?)

If you’re thinking, “Damn, that’s a cool idea”—I’m right there with you. I’ve got tattoos myself, so I fully get the love for ink. I’ll even help you find a local tattoo artist if you’re ready to make it happen.


Not every photographer understands how to photograph tattoos well. Some will over-edit them, wash them out, or (the absolute worst crime) blur them. You need someone who:

✔️ Knows how to light tattoos properly
✔️ Understands that your ink is part of your story, not a distraction
✔️ Won’t make you feel like you need to cover anything up

Oh hey, that’s me.


I’m Natalie, an Idaho-based wedding photographer who specializes in capturing badass, alternative couples who don’t fit the cookie-cutter mold. I know that your tattoos aren’t just ink—they’re part of your identity, your journey, and your love story.

And yeah, I’ve got tattoos too. So when I say I get it, I mean it. I know how important it is to find a photographer who won’t overexpose your ink or make you feel like you need to hide it. I’ll make sure your tattoos look just as bold and beautiful in your wedding photos as they do in real life.

If you want wedding photos that feel like you—authentic, artistic, and maybe a little bit rebellious—I’m your person. I create a space where you can be your weird, wonderful, tattooed selves without judgment.

Let’s make some art together. Hit me up and let’s talk about your wedding day.

Tattooed Couple Wedding Photography: Unapologetically You

Let's do this thing

I literally have no words. Natalie is so amazing and talented, and not to mention how kind she is. She has outdone herself! My pregnancy has actually been pretty hard, so it actually brings me to tears to have such beautiful photos to remember it with. I am so so grateful for these beautiful keepsakes.

Natalie and her husband are amazing! My hubby does not enjoy taking photos. Natalie was able to make us feel at ease and have fun with our session. She went above and beyond! I was expecting the typical sit here, pose this way, smile, click. NOPE! She asked us intimate questions about our lives. She played music that we love. She created an atmosphere and a mood that made our anniversary photos an experience. We are so thankful for the memories she helped us to create. Also her unique artistry in how she photographed us. I’m in love with the results. Thank you Natalie and Nate 💖
