Best Of Blogs – Issue 7 ~ David McNeil

Kat

April 2, 2010

I joked about this on Twitter and Facebook yesterday, but it may actually be true you know - they might as well have called this month's Photo Pro Magazine, Rock n Roll Bride Magazine because the awesome guys over there not only ran my regular 'Best of Blogs' article, but my friend and photographer, the way-too-fabulous Julia Boggio, wrote a piece about 'the art of posing'...and guess who's Vintage Boudoir session is adoring FOUR whole pages?! That's right people...it's meee! I can't wait to share those with you (on Monday) but for now let's get right into learning all about another one of my favourite UK photographers (and just so happens, best friends) David McNeil!

Urban Backdrop to their Love Affair

Kat

April 2, 2010

Colin & Sara Jane 's mutual affection for all things urban made their choice of engagement shoot location a no-brainer. When they asked photographer Bob Miller to photograph them in downtown Birmingham (USA) for their engagement, his goal was to use the city's character and their favorite locations as a backdrop for their new love affair...I'm pretty sure he achieved that one!

Inspired by Scotland

Kat

April 2, 2010

I'm filing this under 'engagement' because I'd love to think someone will be inspired by these for their own engagement shoot. So, technically this isn't a wedding-related photo shoot at all, but when Chris & Dani of Chris Barber Media headed up to Scotland last week, they ended up taking some pretty damn stunning images. and well, I just HAD to share them. The landscape is incredible, the water is awe-inspiring and the subjects are such fun (love the instax shots - swoon!)

Thursday Treats – 1st April 2010

Kat

April 1, 2010

It's that time of the week again...hold onto your knickers girls! As always this week has been epic and the internet has been fit to bursting with all this bloggy goodness. I can't wait for you to read it all. So, go get a cup of coffee and some kind of sweet treat and enjoy some procrastination time...

Homespun & Locally Sourced

Kat

April 1, 2010

I've discovered one of my new favourite photographers! So much in fact that I emailed him to ask for not one, not two, but THREE of his weddings to feature...so hold onto your hats because over the next few days you're gonna see some serious awesome. First up is Tony & Katie's laid back, funky backyard wedding. Although the pair live in New York they opted to hold their wedding in Kentucky where all their family are based. They knew they didn't want a traditional church wedding and luckily for them Katie's grandparents allowed their home to play host to the celebrations.

Steampunks!

Kat

April 1, 2010

A little bit fashiony, a little bit boudoir - this Steampunk themed photo shoot sent me weak at the knees! Inspired by Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, New Orleans and Dita Von Teese, photographer Kamila couldn't wait to put together a shoot like this.

Parisian Super Glam

Kat

April 1, 2010

"When styling this photo shoot, we wanted to create a romantic vintage atmosphere with a twist. Something vibrant, elegant, and out-of-the-box. Having been to the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris, we tied in details and rich colors reminiscent of our visit. The rich reds, deep purple irises, and black accents were intended on creating perhaps a non-traditional wedding palette. Tucking black feathers into deep, velvety red roses and contrasting purple irises, our floral pieces emitted a tone of a classic wedding romance while being a bit off-beat. Sheet music was rolled into scrolls and synced with crystal drops for a little touch of whimsy. Gorgeous hand-painted place cards accented our ruby French brocade linen and black satin napkins gave a punch of interest. All of these elements came together seamlessly to create a wedding celebration that is timeless, a bit sexy, and just radiating romance."

Creativity Running Wild

Kat

March 31, 2010

I have to be honest, I've been gagging to share Aubrey & Marshall's wedding ever since photographer's Stacie & Geoffrey (you may remember them from their own - way too damn cool wedding) sent me a sneak peek...not only because of how rad this wedding actually is, but because I have secretly been harboring a photographic crush on Lang Photographers (I'm probably their biggest Twitter stalker!) Aubrey & Marshall diy-ed their whole wedding with very little budget - they just let their creativity run wild! Everything from the origami to the curtain, from the invitation to the pinwheels was constructed and created by the pair and I am dying over here! Oh tell me your love it as much as I do...

British Boudoir

Kat

March 31, 2010

This fabulous Boudoir/Pin up style shoot was set up by British photographer Shaneen Rosewarne Cox. "My Make up artist is fabulous at creating that seductive, lashtastic pin up look" She told me "She also styled the models hair and I loved how the retro bouncy curls turned out. Accessories are all mine and are mostly props from the studio. The STUNNING blue Manolo Blahnik shoes are actually my "something blue" from my own wedding day. All in all it was a really fun day full of bucks fizz, pearls, blue shoes and vogue magazine!! A perfect way to spend a Sunday in my opinion. "

A Wedding on Water

Kat

March 31, 2010

Julie & John got married in September 2008 at Luss Pier in Loch Lomond, Scotland. Although originally from Manchester, they chose this location as it was perfect for their ideal wedding - small and intimate - with only about 30 of their closest friends and family. They hired a boat from Sweeney's Cruises where they had their ceremony and drinks. Afterward they walked along the beach to the Lodge on Loch Lomond where they had their meal and the rest of their evening.

Geek Chic

Kat

March 30, 2010

I have been dying to feature a photo shoot by Flory Photo in ages, and I think Curtis & Vali's shoot has given me the perfect opportunity. Photographer and friend Joel Flory actually shot their wedding back in 2002 - his first - and being such great friends with this pair, this shoot was extra special to them all. Is anyone else as crazy about those geek-chic glasses as I am!? So. Much. Fun! His suit was Express for Men and her dress was an 8yr old Jessica McClintock that she wore on their wedding day.

The NotWedding 2010 – Enchanted Forest

Kat

March 30, 2010

Eeeek here we go! The results of the awesome Enchanted Forest theme, my favourite of this year's The NotWedding event. I am literally dying over the fallen vines, the ambling trees, the quirky toadstool-inspired cake and the beautiful fashion and styling. Man...next year I really want to go to this! Full vendor list can be seen below - after the 'jump'

The NotWedding 2010 – Graffiti Chic

Kat

March 30, 2010

Those of you, like me, who were loitering around blogland this time last year will certainly remember the immensely popular 'NotWedding' event that was held in Atlanta. The photographs of the even circulated pretty much every blog - and with due cause. They were awesome (you can see my coverage from the 2009 event here.) The NotWedding is a unique bridal event in which a handful of Atlanta’s most talented and brilliant vendors come together to stage a one-of-a-kind wedding. Complete with an unforgettable ceremony, an over the top first dance, a cake cutting, and reception, The NotWedding has become a killer production that promotes an atmosphere which inspired brides towards creative options rather than cookie-cutter weddings. From classic to sassy, this year’s event hosted four different wedding themes for brides to visit: Enchanted Forest, Southern Glam, Vintage Chic, and Global Fusion.

Under the Spotlight – Toast of Leeds

Kat

March 29, 2010

I really really love doing my Under the Spotlight interviews as it's great to talk about the genius behind the lens for once. Today, I'm excited to share with you Shelly of Toast of Leeds - a fabulous photographer from - you guessed it - Leeds, who blew me away with her recent Punk Bride shoot. Enjoy! Who are you and what do you do? I’m Shelly Mantovani from Toast of Leeds. I shoot people. Where are you based and what cities/countries are you available to for work in? I’m based in Yorkshire but don’t let that put you off! I love to get on a plane or a train, it forces me to read books I keep buying and never get round to finishing.

Snowboarding Bride!

Kat

March 29, 2010

You might remember a pretty damn cool 'Surfing bride' post from a while back? Well photographer Clane Gessel has raised the bar yet again, and knowing how much I loved his last shoot he sent this awesome Snowboarding bride & groom right over! Yeah, you know it...too rad for words!

Mermaid Sparkle-Fest

Kat

March 29, 2010

I have totally fallen in love with this classy, mermaid-looking sparkle-fest of a green dress - can you blame me?! It's by Jovani and would be perfect for a bride who doesn't want to wear white!

Chaotic Hotel Room Engagement

Kat

March 28, 2010

When photographer's Kel & Mar turned up at Richard & Josephine's hotel room they were brimming over with ideas and excitement for their engagement shoot. However, after seeing the chaos of the room all the ideas were scrapped in favour of a much more 'real' photo shoot location. Finally, a shoot that makes me proud to not have a perfect, immaculate 'magazine-worth' house myself!

Funky, Modern, Urban Jungle

Kat

March 27, 2010

Have you ever seen anything so cute? First up the funky, urban jungle feel juxtaposed with her cute yellow flats, sticky-out skirt and glasses. Following that the book shop, the record store and playing on the swings and lounging in the park. Seems to me like the perfect backdrop to the perfect engagement session.

Who Needs a Bride!?

Kat

March 27, 2010

Gay wedding, Civil partnership, Wedding...the terminology doesn't mean s*** to me. A wedding is a wedding and that's that. The amazingly glam Brighton wedding of Matt & Leon was sent over by their photographer Lisa Devlin and I lapped up all the gorgeous details...who needs a bride!?
