I’m a big Beatles fan. I love the emotion and feeling behind their lyrics, so much so that our first dance was ‘All you need is Love’ – the words of which I have tattooed on the inside of my wrist ! So when photographer Amelia sent me Rachel & Joey’s Beatles themed engagement sesh, I jumped at the chance of a feature. I adore the adaptions of each song and famous moment – especially of course the John & Yoko Hair Peace Bed Peace scene . How many can you spot?
“Rachel & Joey are huge, and I mean huge Beatles fans” Amelia told me. “They were singing Beatles tunes the entire time we were shooting. For them, peace isn’t a fashion statement, its a lifestyle. They are both flower children and so in love. Rachel plans to walk down the aisle to Here Comes The Sun . For their engagement shoot I definitely wanted to incorporate their love for The Beatles, taking the lyrics of some of their favorite songs literally. I made some props and knew that I wanted to give the pictures a vintage feel.”
Thanks to Amelia for sharing this inspiring shoot with us today

Yes, yes yes this post is heeeuge. Photographer Shannon sent me a little sneaky peak of Josiah & Dana's engagement session and I swooned as soon as I saw the shot with the silver glittery curtain behind them...but then I saw the coffee shop they started in, the photo booth shots and the cutest Rock n Roll picnic ever and I was smitten.
"This couple is sooooooooooooo cool." Shannon told me. "Like, truly, I went away from the session thinking "Man, I have to start being cooler" because they were literally too cool. Oh, and they have great style."

It goes without saying that if you don't want to see naked bodies then you probably shouldn't read this post! I think these are completely and utterly beautiful. Nikki and Mark wanted their engagement shoot to be intimate, sensual and artistic so decided to strip off and use it to connect back to the core of who they both are.

I must preface this feature by letting you all know that this is an explicit photo session, and one that not everyone will be comfortable looking at. But in the spirit of Rock n Roll Bride being about self-expression and doing whatever is right for you and your partner, I really wanted to share it! There are a lot of NSFW photos featured below and while I personally think they're really tastefully done and the story behind them is one worth sharing, I understand that not everyone will agree.
