When you think of Loch Ness you probably imagine a rural and serene scene with daily hikers and a few wayward Loch Ness Monster hunters. You probably don’t envisage the Rock n Roll stylings of Emma & Kyle’s wedding! Well that’s all about to change, because with their wedding taking place at The Loch Ness Country House Hotel , I can all but guarantee you’ll not be able to forget these guys when you think of Loch Ness in future!
“I’m a self-employed illustrator/artist for fairytaleasylum.com and Kyle makes sculpture out of scrap metal when he’s not being a gardener”, began the bride, “so we’re accustomed to getting creative. Between us we decided to take out all the bits we dislike about weddings from ours and to do most of it ourselves. Our schedule was pretty much non-existent, we wanted everyone to feel relaxed and go with the flow. We wanted our reception to feel like you were at a metal gig and we didn’t want loads of line up photos that take up so much time on the day.”
“I would describe our wedding theme as ‘Eclectic Alice in Wonderland with a mosh pit and a dancing barman'”, she continued. “Our ‘first mosh’ (not dance) was definitely one of my favourite parts of our wedding and was so much better than a slow waltz. The song we chose was ‘Sabbra Cadabra’ by Metallica.”
Totally awesome! Are we all in agreement? Thank you to Emma & Kyle and their wedding photographer Jaye of Tux & Tales Photography for sharing with us today.

Tattoos & Toadstools: Toni & Colin

December 7, 2012
Tattoos, tears and a seriously cute couple. Toni & Colin's wedding is what my dreams are made of. These guys are THE perfect Rock n Roll couple and they're wedding slays me. Plus they had Sassy of Assassynation as their wedding photographer so they instantly go way up in the cool stakes with me!
The wedding was held at The Quay, Musselburgh, on 10th November. "Colin and I met online what feels like a life time ago but wasn't all that long ago in the grand scheme of things", Toni began. "We spoke for a month or so online and then he made plans to come over from Northern Ireland to visit me in Edinburgh. 'I'll come for the weekend,' he said. Well, he arrived and he's yet to leave! We've lived together from day one and, including the night before the wedding, we are yet to spend one single night apart. It's a good job he makes me laugh as much as he does!"

Colour Pop Glaswegian Wedding: Claire & Tom

Marrying her sweetheart in August of last year, newlywed Claire told me all about their Glaswegian wedding. "Whilst on paper our wedding wasn't overtly Rock n Roll, our journey to get down the aisle definitely offers a slightly offbeat tale. Namely because in the two years leading up to our nuptials we collectively lost ten stone between us - the equivalent of 20ish new-born babies, a Saint Bernard dog, or Britney Spears. The toughest journey of my life, losing 70% of our collective weight drop, I lived, breathed and blogged the whole shebang, and whilst I still have a few more pounds to shift, that I made it down the aisle in the most beautiful dress I've ever seen, no longer morbidly obese, is the proudest moment of my life so far."

A Pink & Leopard Print Themed DIY Wedding: Ele & Raph

July 23, 2012
As soon as I saw the sneak peek of Ele & Raph's wedding on their wedding photographer's facebook page, I knew I wanted to feature them... it's not really that difficult to see why is it? Could these guys be any more Rock n Roll if they tried?! The couple booked Rock n Roll Bride favourite Assassynation to capture their amazing day.
"What a great pleasure it was to have Sassy do the photography on our special day! I felt at ease as soon as I met her", began the bride. "Upon speaking to my (camera shy!) husband afterwards, he said exactly the same about Sassy, that she jumped at every opportunity to get that perfect shot and with simple instructions made him feel comfortable and contented. Ecstatic with the sneak peeks that Sassy had uploaded within less than 24 hours (wow!) onto her Facebook page, we both knew that Sassy is one Rock n Roll photographer and it would not have been the same without her!"

Who says only the bride can wear white? I think this all-white bridal party proves that isn't the case! Don't they all look FANTASTIC!?
The bridesmaids in the same colour as the bride wasn't the only unique thing about Harriet and Jesse's wedding though. They styled the day in a way that truly reflected them which meant pineapples, flamingos and fireworks! They day was also held at a friend's house on the Scottish borders.
