The Tattooed Bride Photography

Amy did an incredible job with our engagement and wedding photos!! Everyone loved the engagement pictures and we used them for our save the dates. We got our sneak peeks back within days and we are blown away!!! We can’t wait to see the rest!!

Amy was amazing to work with. Very organized and prompt. She was kind, gave me direction, and answer all my never ending questions.

When planning a wedding, there are so many huge decisions; date, location, food, entertainment, clothes. But the biggest decision, in my opinion, is the photography for the wedding. This is what you will look back on, what you will keep and treasure as a witness to your big day. When your specific memories fade, the pictures will still be there, reminding you of every detail that made up one of the most important days of your life. We were getting married in Orlando, even though we lived about three hours away in South Florida, so I started searching for “alternative” photographers in the area. I contacted a BUNCH of places that had lovely samples on their sites and social media accounts and had some lovely conversations with people that are good at what they do. In the end, however, choosing a photographer was the easiest choice we made for our wedding. The minute I found The Tattooed Bride I stopped looking. Yes, I happened to be a tattooed bride. Yes, I was thrilled that tattoos were celebrated in her photography, instead of being hidden or covered up. Yes, I was thinking it would be a giggle to have “The Tattooed Bride” on my vendor list. But the decision wasn’t really about any of those things. Amy is a force of energy, she is overflowing with smiles and is artistic without being untouchable. She also creates ethereal work. There is a texture to her photos that grabs you under the solar plexus and takes your breath away. She creates images that are otherworldly but raw and real at the same time. She manages to capture those fleeting perfect moments in the spontaneous, enshrining them and keeping them safe for you to look at over and over again. Her and her partner Tim see the world a little differently, as cliché as that sounds, but it’s the truth. Tim and Amy own the Golden Tarot Ink Club tattoo shop in Winter Park, so they are artists through and through. They know about taking a moment and changing it into something that lasts the rest of your days. In the year between getting engaged and getting married, Tim and Amy became friends. We went to their shop grand re-opening, Tim created and completed a tattoo for me, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will be a part of our lives moving into the future. Amy spent three days with us (Hindu-American weddings are usually multiple days) and was effervescent every single day. On our actual wedding day, Tim pretty much stayed with my husband the entire day, while Amy was with me and their assistant Hannah was running back and forth. When I changed out of my Indian wedding lehenga and into my wedding gown for our reception, it was Amy that buttoned up the back of my dress and saw me “put together” for the first time. They also were videographers (wow, do they have this down pat) and were so excited to see the final product. If you need photography (or videography, or a tattoo) in the Orlando area (or an elopement, or a destination) I cannot recommend Amy at The Tattooed Bride enough.

Amy Jo was such an amazing photographer! Great communication, guidance, and an eye for detail. She is friendly and cares a lot about getting the perfect pictures. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Amy Jo!
