I’ve had my Instax camera for a few years, but recently I’ve fallen head over heels in love with it again! From Omaha to LA and from Vegas to New York, my trusty Instax has traveled with me to document my friends and frolics along the way.
In these days of phone cameras to rival SLRs and Instagram to make us all feel like editing pros, there is still something so exciting about clicking that clunky button, hearing the whirring sound and waiting (for what feels like forever ) for the picture to appear. They don’t always turn out how you expect, but that’s all part of the fun!
I was struggling with wondering how to display my favourite precious prints (as far as I’m aware no one has yet produced an Instax-holding photo frame) so Gareth came up with this…strips of MDF, painted white, for me to attach my current faves to and hang on our kitchen wall. Isn’t it cool? Now I can be reminded of my travels and my BFFs whenever we eat!
I own the Fuji Instax Mini 7 which takes credit card sized prints . The Instax Wide Format Camera is also pretty cool, a few of my friends own it and I’m dying to add it to my collection soon! The photos are double the size and would look awesome in individual photo frames I think.
So tell me, do you have an instant camera? Do you use it often? How do you display your prints?

A Sunday Kind of Love: Airstream Photo Booth by The Photo Emporium

October 7, 2012
I was proper thrilled when they guys at The Photo Emporium offered to lend us their - wait for it - airstream photo booth (!!!!) for the last Photography Farm. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a serious photo booth junkie and the fact that it was inside an actual airstream made me even more excited! In fact we basically planned the whole damn shoot around it.

A Sunday Kind of Love: I’m Dreaming of a Teal Christmas…

There are Christmas gift guides a-plenty around the interwebz at this time of year. But that hasn't stopped me getting in on the action! We're planning on decorating our living room a tealy greeny colour (once we can finally agree on some wallpaper - seriously, this is testing our relationship!) so needless to say I'm having a moment with it all...

A Sunday Kind of Love: Hanging Out with The Darlings & The Lasertrons in NYC!
Kat
May 6, 2012
The last 3 days have been a whirlwind of excitement and adventure as Gareth & I have meandered around New York City with our friends The Darlings and The Lasertrons...wow our surname is so boring! We've been a right motley crue of chaos with late night pizza dates, neon pedicures, being papped in Tompkins square, flower crowns, florescent skirt purchases, passing out on sofas (yeah...that was me) and shopping til we dropped (sorry Gareth!)

After the aceness of last week I wasn't sure my New York adventure could get any better...oh how wrong I was! On Monday we waved goodbye to The Lasertron's (boohoo) and Gala & I then basically spent the whole week distracting each other. I'd love to move here one day, but if I did I fear neither of us would ever get any work done! We had too much fun doing things like this...

A Sunday Kind of Love: Emotional Brilliance with LUSH
Kat
July 22, 2012
Ever since I blogged that shocking video that LUSH put together to raise awareness of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. Every morning I've been worrying whether the things I'm putting on my face have somehow played a part in keeping this awful practice the norm. So you can imagine my elation when I found out LUSH were bringing out a make up range! It launched worldwide yesterday and I was up bright and early to head into town to get some first hand experience of it. "You're mad", Gareth said, "going into town on a Saturday. It will be mental", "It will be worth braving the crowds for..." I responded, "I'm doing my bit for the bunnies."

I don't know if you've heard, but these little colourful balls of joy have been getting a slightly bad rep of late. Brides love them, bloggers love them, but some wedding suppliers are (so I've been told) a little over them. We've all seen them styled in the same old same old way over and over so I can see their point. It can be slightly tiresome.

A Sunday Kind of Love: BHLDN on Sale!
Kat
July 8, 2012
So I tweeted & facebooked about this as soon as I saw it on Friday (I was in the middle of writing up a wedding that's going up tomorrow, and the bride was in a BHLDN dress so I popped by the website to link to it and BAM! OMG "SAAAALE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!" I squealed).
So yes, I already shared this via my social media but I couldn't resist adding it to the blog today too. If this isn't worth A Sunday Kind of Lovin' I quite frankly don't know what is.

There are so many awards around for people in the wedding industry these days - in fact I've been asked to join the juding panels of some of them. But honestly, before this, none of them really interested to me.
Bridal NEXT! is different.
