Two Year Marriversary Love

Kat

April 12, 2010

On the 12th April 2007 my boyfriend and I headed to the river for a chilled out 5 year anniversary picnic which ended with him asking me to marry him.. On the 12th April 2008 my fiance and I got married. On the 12th April 2009 we headed to Brighton to celebrate our first year of marriage at the fancy pants Grand Hotel. On the 12th April 2010 a long haired husband and a pink haired wife will be having a quiet night together. No mess. No fuss. No bells. No whistles. Dinner, Alice in Wonderland at the cinema and love.The past 2 years haven't always been easy and haven't always been blissful but today the computers will be switched off and we'll just be together. That's what's important and that's how we want to celebrate. Love rocks and I love my husband.

Brighton Rock n Roll

Kat

April 11, 2010

There are a select few UK photographers that I truly love and I think Pippa Mckenzie may be joining that group. I fell in love with her relaxed, documentary inspired style and couldn't wait to share this rockin' Brighton engagement session with you. "Natalie & James live in Surrey, and often hang out in Brighton" Pippa told me. "They are young, quirky and very successful property developers. They are such a cool, hip and fun loving couple and we wanted to really capture their characters in their e-Shoot. They had a few costume changes for the shoot to contrast the beach shots with classy rock n roll amongst the Brighton Lanes. We thought the edgy surroundings of Brighton really complimented their characters."

Bollywood Bride

April 10, 2010

Gorgeous Indian brides and weddings certainly don't get enough coverage in Blogland - which is crazy because the colours, the fun and the unique traditions are certainly things that blogs usually swoon over. I have a couple of Indian friends - one that is already married and one that has been to a lot of her family's weddings and I'm always intrigued to hear about them. My favourite story was that one of my friends had to walk around the ceremony carrying a pineapple on her head and when she asked her Mum why she had to do it or what it was about she replied "that's just what we do" Ha!To this day she still doesn't know the significance of the pineapple that messed up her hair!

London Chic

Kat

April 9, 2010

There is something so endearing and glamorous about a Central London wedding. I fell in love with Lia & Gerard's portraits and soon as I saw them - which just proves how fab photographer Chloe Browne is as the couple only allowed 5 minutes for photographs. They didn't want any family formals either! The whole day was really laid back, relaxed and chilled with a great party atmosphere. "I was so excited to photograph Lia & Gerald at the Haymarket Hotel in London for their wedding in March" Chloe told me. "They were my first couple who weren't keen on spending time on portraits, so I had to persuade them gently to come outside with me for a few minutes. It was still freezing cold, but I managed to convince them to spend 3 minutes with me outside on the street-I really wanted their photos to reflect that they got married in Central London. We then dipped downstairs to the pool room for a couple of photos before I let them get back to the party. Their style was so timeless, I wanted to have a few frames that felt like they were from the Rat Pack era-I hope the black and whites have that kind of feel. They were so cool to photograph-I loved every one of our five minutes!"

Fun, Casual & Romantic

Kat

April 9, 2010

Will & Myriam's ceremony took place at Pencarrow House in Cornwall and then it was all back to the parent's house for food and drink! "There's not much to tell" Will began "We did everything the way we did because we had known we wanted to be husband and wife for ages, so it was more a question of getting the day out of the way! We didn't want to make a fuss about the day, or do anything cheesy, we just wanted it to be 'a fun and casual get-together with romantic bits' and we had an ultra-minimal budget" Myriam wore a dress from Monsoon, Will's bespoke suit was found at Ferguson Nash in Warwick and their hilarious tee-shirts were from the aptly named Fuckuall.

Outdoorsy Autumn Diy Wedding

Kat

April 9, 2010

Summer & Frank got married exactly a year after their first date. The wedding had an Autumn theme and was held at a local park. Their reception was at one of their favourite hang outs - Fatty's in Astoria. "I started looking for parks in our area where we could also hold the reception." Summer told me. "We're both very casual and outdoorsy, so we didn't want anything formal--we wanted the focus to be more on the happiness of the day. The cost for renting local parks is a shocking fraction of more formal venues, too, and you can bring in your own catering, which gives you more options for food. I'm a vegetarian, so that was important."

Thursday Treats – 8th April 2010

Kat

April 8, 2010

It's that time of the week again...nom nom nommy treats time! The awesome main image to today's Treats was sent over to me yesterday by the wonderful Kirsty Mitchell. I like to think of it as an extension of my birthday! Isn't she is incredible? Be sure to go check out her blog post with the story of the shoot. What a lot of work. I totally think it was worth it though!

What a Small World…

Kat

April 8, 2010

I love a shoot with a great story behind it...especially when it revolves around people I know! When bride-to-be Laura checked in on Rock n Roll Bride a few months ago she fell in love with the work of UK photographer, David McNeil. She promptly contacted him to arrange an engagement shoot in Brighton. Her fiance Nick and her turned up on the morning of the shoot, only to discover that unbeknownst to both of the boys, they already knew each other! David and Nick actually used to work together long before David tried his hand at wedding photography and Nick got engaged...but wait the tale gets stranger because when David sent me these images it turns out I used to work with Nick too! What a small world...

Pink Lady

Kat

April 8, 2010

Nope this isn't one of my photo shoots - but model Jennifer and I sure to have one (very pink) thing in common! The shoot took place in Richmond, VA at Belle Isle which is a park that has a large suspension bridge that takes you to another small island that has several abandoned buildings including an old power plant on it - perfect shooting ground! "The power plant is really cool, lots of graffiti and crumbling architecture" photographer Jan told me. "Her dress was bought at a thrift store for $3, we added the black sash to give it more character. She was an awesome model, with great pink hair and lots of style I hope to photograph her wedding eventually. I love your blog by the way. It's completely along the lines of what I'm interested in and I love to see other photographers and brides that are unique and have style not typical boring brides."

A Rare Day Off for the Rock n Roll Bride!

Kat

April 7, 2010

Today is my birthday so I'm taking a rare (and I hope you'll agree - well deserved) day off from blogging, emails, twitter... all that jazz (well I may pop by twitter - let's not be rash with our decisions here.) I'll be back and raring to go tomorrow - but until then, here's a little sneaky peek of what you can expect on my return...shaaaweeeet huh?!

Rock n Roll Ink

Kat

April 6, 2010

Oh how I love these!! I mean what's not to love? As photographer Paulus explains "Paula is a sentimental, fashionable, crazy gothic lolita girl and Teddy is an easy going, noodle maniac, graphic master, straight to the point guy. They both came up with this amazing concept. Both of them are tattoo lovers, so they decided to shoot their photos at Rock n Roll Tattoo. They got their vows inked on their arms." Yeah so these guys are pretty much perfecto for Rock n Roll Bride aren't they?

Mad World

Kat

April 6, 2010

Oh how I love the crazy, mad world that MangoRED create with their photography. Who else could come up with something so magical, hilarious, joyful and original!? Check out the styling...I have a total compulsion to dress up like a soya drink carton or wear an outfit to match my wallpaper right now...

Carnival Love

Kat

April 6, 2010

Hayley & Brett's funfair/carnival themed love shoot makes me feel all playful. Gotta love a couple who can have a blast together! Together for a little over 2 years, this pair found comfort in each other through some difficult times at the beginning of their relationship. They decided to do their pre-wedding shoot at a carnival to symbolize their fun personalities and has a celebration of their love for one another. Her dress is vintage which she found at a thrift store and their flowers were done by Mignonne Handmade.

Uptown meets Downtown

Kat

April 5, 2010

I have no words... OK so that's a lie, I always have words. Lots of them. But this aaamazing 'Uptown meets Downtown' shoot which was put together by Adrienne Colosimo of Bespoke Affairs (I featured her own wedding nearly exactly a year ago!) and photographer Danny Weiss. I'm sorry but this shoot makes me want to live in New York even more...and I want to wear that Annlum Red / Anna Zhu couture wedding gown with biker boots and a leather jacket literally every day I'm there

Pastel Pink Vintage Oscar de la Renta

Kat

April 5, 2010

I've got a fairytale Chilean wedding to kick of this Easter Monday for you today. Last weekend Francisca & Juan Pablo got married at the gorgeous Fundo San Miguel in Colina, Chile. Francisca wore a pastel pink, 80s (in a good way!) style vintage Oscar de la Renta gown which she matched perfectly with a pair of shoes she'd had forever! Juan Pablo rocked a bow tie like any good Rock n Roll groom!

April 4, 2010

Stand by for part three of the pink invasion...and this shot is amazing! Jade of Jade Rose Designs was eager to share with me some of her new, gorgeous, perfect-for-Rock-n-Roll-Brides designs and I was over the moon to receive them, especially when I say her gorgeous model's (friend Erin) hair! Based in Portland, Jade teamed with Bryan Rupp Photography to create a photo shoot to inspire Rock n Roll Brides everywhere.

The Pink Invasion – Pink Chic

Kat

April 4, 2010

Happy Easter everybody! As regular readers will know, the Rock n Roll Bride doesn't stop blogging for anything so I thought I'd share one of my favourite topics today - pink haired gals! I hope you haven't eaten too much of the sweet stuff because today I'm going to provide you with one serious sugar rush... As a lover of all things pink (headed) I'm excited to share that all three of today's posts feature gorgeous pink tresses! Kicking things off is the engagement session of Fred & Martine. She told us that she once went to a party wearing a wig this exact colour and she got so many compliments she decided to make it permanent! It's been pink ever since... Her green plaid dress is an authentic Pendleton which she found for a steal at a vintage thrift store.

Fiery Wedding at Sloss Furnaces

Kat

April 3, 2010

My last wedding from Bob Miller (for now! - if you missed them here's one and two) is the gorgeous relaxed but energetic wedding of Beverly & Neil. Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham AL (apparently one of the most haunted places in the US!) was suggested to the pair by their friend and eventual wedding coordinator, Sarah Crawford. After visiting Sloss, they both agreed this location would provide the unique, relaxed, and energetic atmosphere they wanted. Working within a very limited budget, they felt that choosing an unconventional location would allow them to bypass some of the traditional wedding etiquette. "The location also said a lot about our interests" the groom told me. " I'm an Architect (student) and Beverly is a Graphic Designer. The soaring smokestacks and steel columns and beams (all decades old) provided an amazing setting. In addition, much of Sloss consists of beautiful greenery sprouting out of the old steel in various spots."
