When the bride describes her ideal honeymoon as a trip to the US to visit a serial killers museum you know this wedding's going to be different from the norm!
No white dress or leafy church ceremony here - it was awesome tattoos, a touch of the gothic, a backdrop of incredible architecture, and bucketloads of passion!
Frank and Nat represent a growing trend of young couples who are refusing to conform to wedding 'traditions' and expectations and who are determined to tie the knot in their own unique and stylish way.
What is an alternative wedding?
It's about shaking things up, ditching tradition and doing whatever the hell feels right and makes you happy! It's your wedding after all.
It's a reflection of you as a couple.
Show off your individuality, weed out the things that don't fit right with you both, and rock your big day!
Frank and Nat certainly did, and in some style.
From the Just Married skulls snow globe to the ethereal, almost ghostly wedding dress, their Liverpool wedding tapped into their cool, free spiritedness.
This couple were surely destined to be together!
Their venue was the historic Racquet Club, which boasts the most epic front doors!
And when I saw the venue was just a stones throw away from Liverpool's iconic Royal Liver Building - home to the mythical Liver Birds - I knew it would make an incredible backdrop for some portrait shots.
When we FaceTimed before the wedding Nat admitted she was "not really into the whole posed pictures thing" as she never knew where to put her arms. But with just a little guidance the couple did fantastic on the day, and ironically look like models who do this for a living!

"Can't recommend Mike's services enough. Great communication throughout, he put both my wife and myself at ease on the day of our wedding (both very camera shy), and the pictures were absolutely amazing, captured every memory we were hoping for and made them shine."
