Allan and Brenna get a double entry in my year in review. Instead of going for the traditional ring exchange they opted to go under the needle for something a little more, uh, permanent.

The only thing is they had neglected to get an appointment with one of the many local tattoo shops. But my buddy Mac has a shop just up the road so I dropped in and explained their predicament. He has done one of my tats and his work is amazing. Mac is such a good guy that he opened up his shop on his day off just to tattoo their rings.

This series of images are among the most popular in my portfolio for obvious reasons.

Here the newlyweds wait for Mac to set up. I love the image of Brenna giving a reassuring touch to Allan’s arm.

Brenna is the first to go under the needle as an anxious Allan watches.

Next it’s Allan’s turn.

Many thanks to Mac at The Gilded Lilly in Felton for accomodating us and allowing me to photograph the session. After all, no wedding album would be complete with out a ring shot.
