Sydney Haag & Jason Barresi
To Be Married 6.23.18 Photo by Danny Alexander
We met in February 2015 when Jason tattooed a very sentimental family tattoo on my thigh . I searched for a very long time for a great artist to do it , and I couldn ’ t have been happier with the result . Not only did he produce amazing work , we had a really strong connection as soon as we met . I lived in Indianapolis and he lived in Louisville , so I continued to drive down to get more tattoos by him and our connection grew .
Jason : I knew that Sydney was the one when I began to see my quality of life improve . Not only was I becoming a better brother and a better uncle , but I was becoming a better man for myself and for her . She is my best friend , my confidant and my strength . She helps me overcome any obstacle .
Sydney : After just a few months of dating , it was undeniable . I moved back to Louisville in January 2016 , and I couldn ’ t get enough of him . We spent almost every day together . He made me want to be the best person I could be and supported me in everything I did . Still to this day he encourages me to reach for the stars and accomplish my dreams . Seeing him progress in his career as a tattoo artist has been an incedible experience and has taught me to be humble , passionate and tenacious in everything I do in life . We are a team . We are equal , we strengthen each others weaknesses and help each other grow as individuals and as partners .
We are getting married at the Mellwood Arts Center in Louisville . Tattooing is such a big part of not only Jason ’ s life , but it has become a part of mine as well . We were inspired by the idea of having our wedding concept based around the idea of traditional tattoo colors and art . We want to bring a part of us and what we love to the wedding , such as , tattoos , coffee , popsicles , bluegrass music , dancing , and most importantly , lots of friends and family .
