Gothic-chick/Skater-cool

Things I like about this adorable couple:
- Groom's cutie curly mohawk
- Bride's dress that hints at gothic, but doesn't overwhelm
- Bride's proudly displayed bridal ink
- Their cute matching skate shoes!
Check out more shots from Brooke and Joe's wedding. The photographer, Crystal Bock, describes it as "Part gothic-chic, part skater-cool."
