Remember this aaamazing wedding at Shoreditch House in London? Well my lovely friend Liz (like, real life friend not just online - we've been out for cocktails and everything!) just sent me this wedding at the same venue that she shot with Nadia Swindell this weekend. You might recognise the bowling! How fab is that - I wish I'd found a wedding venue complete with bowling lanes. Does this wedding just scream London in the 60's or what? The amazing and cute, short vintage dress and handmade veil were from uber cool boutique Fur Coat No Knickers. Anyway you're gonna love these so... Thanks for sending these to me Liz and we really need to stop being so rubbish and find some time for that shoot we planned! Credit: Eliza Claire PhotographyRead more...

I have been looking forward to seeing Hannah & Alex's wedding ever since I saw their school yard engagements and the bridal shoot to be used for their stag/hen/bachelor/ette parties invites. I first spoke to Hannah about 6 months ago when she forwarded me some of the work of her sister and photographer, Kelty and I have been nuts about it every since. I have been lucky enough to become good online friends with Kelty so I was over the moon when she sent me a sneak peek of the wedding photographs after the day.Credit: Steep Street PhotographyRead more...

Cody & Giselle had a very coll wedding full of music, fun, tattoos (Cody got all his groomsmen a lip tattoo as their thank you present!), photo booths, peacock feathers and one of the most stunning portrait locations ever! They found The Brampton Badlands North of Brampton, Ontario where the hills are both vibrant and desolate and perfect for rock n roll photo shoots. Thanks to Erika & Ryan for sharing these.

I got sent this last night by the super lovely Alison and I have been dying to share them! Abby & Josh are one of those effortlessly cool couples aren't they? They look like they look this stylish every day of their lives. The shoot took place at Abby's parents farm as they have acres of unused land. She wore two vintage dresses and Josh chose a shirt that showed off his tattoos (no complaints over here!) This shoot only took place 2 days ago so I am honoured and excited that Alison deemed me worthy of blogging them right away! Thank you so much for sending them to me.Read more...

This make me happy. The photos are of course stunning, with their neo-realism kinda feel - the stark white backdrop and her pale skin vs the dark gothic lipstick is just beautiful. But what I really love is the vintage feeling video - just taken on a cheap video camera. The effect is magical. Thanks Michelle. Wonderful as always!Read more...

Faye & Mike's wedding may be stunning but what I love the most has got to be their fantastic portraits. Even though I'm not usually a fan of men in white suits for some reason it just works here - maybe it's the combination with the bright sunshine, the urban locations, Faye's Gwen-esque hair, or the bridesmaids brightly coloured outfits. These are certainly inspiring. Way to go Kella, thanks for sending these!Read more...

Anna & Ryan's wedding was marvelously simple, rustic, old-fashioned romantic affair. Think prairie flowers, wheat, fabric streamers, ball jars and parasols. The round barn that was host to the event belongs to Anna's family. Anna's dress was made by her Mum and was closely based on a design by an independent Italian designer named Mirit Weinstock who sends her clothes out to girls around the world to wear in self portraits to promote her clothing (check out the 'birthday' video on her homepage - it's fab). Her hairpiece was by the always fabulous Which Goose. After the ceremony (in which both Anna & Ryan only had one attendant each) there was a picnic lunch and after the picnic, everyone went to the couple's studio (they are also both photographers) to mingle. The reception was in a place called the Forum... an old theatre converted into a bar/event hall which was right across the street from their apartment/studio. Photographer Mysi described the reception vibe as being very much like a movie: amazing people... loud, happy and not a bit of drama. there was a moment during the last song of the night where about 30 of us danced while joined together in an enormous group hug (hard to breathe in there) and screamed the song ... when i realized i should be taking a photo of the spectacle, but i was too happy to watch from the outside. the best part of that was it wasn't forced or annoying or drunken or awkward. it was just joyous. Thanks so much to Mysi for all her hard work on this feature - she has also given me a sneak peek of her own wedding (they just got back from their honeymoon themselves) and it is beyond adorable so I hope I will be able to share those too soon!

Thanks to Shannon for sharing these...love love love Credit: SNS PhotographyRead more...

The only theme behind Sarah and Dominick's wedding was to be themselves, to rock out and of course to not hide their tattoos! As photographer Lindsey revealed: The wedding had no theme. It was simply a young, hip, tattoo covered couple. What really made this wedding rock was the fact that the bride and groom were both tattoo covered (complete with each inking the other's name on their arms) and they were completely in love. The bride and groom, as well as myself, are complete individuals in word and deed. Therefore it was a perfect fit. The venue was a simple restaurant in Princeton and not a frilly wedding hall. It was a down to earth affair, with the bride wearing a blue engagement ring, and the first dance was to the Grateful Dead. The focus remained on the individuals getting married, and not about wedding day fluff. Thanks Lindsey, you rock...Read more...

I'm a little bit stuck on where to begin today. Seriously over night my inbox appears to have exploded with wedding goodness on an epic scale...stay tuned you'll see what I mean. First up the lovely Chanelle send me this wedding that her and her hubby shot this weekend. The bride, Sandra, is a fashion designer and so designed and made her own dress complete with a 6 metre train...how phenomenalis it!?!?! and the shoes...ooh don't get me started on those blinged out treasures. Carrie Bradshaw eat your heart out! A huge thanks to my good friend Chanelle for sharing this wedding and that dress with us!Read more...

This is going to sound more than a little bit weird but I almost don't want to blog these...because once I do it will be done and I will be sad that the anticipation, excitement and exhilaration (I'm a very dramatic person) I have been feeling leading up to posting these will be gone. Yes I am very strange... You might recognise Automne & Graham as one of the finalists in the Tinywater contest I ran a few months ago. As soon as I saw their entry I knew they were a completely awesome punk rock couple and that their wedding would be fab but OH. My. GOD nothing prepared me for this! I am so honoured and excited that the couple have chosen Rock n Roll Bride to be the lucky blog who gets to share their wedding and all the amazing details. Exclusives rock! I'm going to hand over to Automne to share all the details with you, and I'll be right back with the images...Read more...

Kate & Jeff got married in Hawaii, but living in San Francisco, they wanted to do a fun post wedding shoot wearing their wedding outfitsin muir woods as well as some shots in their favourite areas of the city. The groom wore a suit by H&M and the bride looks awesome in her dress from Milly Bridal and her fascinator from Twigs & Honey. They got their cake topper from Etsy seller Goosegrease (I had to include an image - so cute!) and their ring bowl from Paloma's Nest(I never tire of seeing these.) I hope you enjoy these, I loooove them. A huge thanks to Joanne & Johnathan for sending... Credit: Encarnacion PhotographyRead more...

A photo booth at a wedding is pretty much guaranteed to result in some pretty fab photographs, but a smilebooth by Our Labor of Love takes the idea to a whole other dimension. These guys are probably one of the first photographers I remember seeing doing the quirky, props-led style photo booth and I'm sure like me you've seen many others follow suit since. This set has got to be one of my favourite's ever - Stephanie & Wil are such a awesome couple and fun guests who were clearly up for it! Thanks so much to the wonderful Whitney & Jesse for allowing me to share these with you all! Credit: Our Labor of LoveRead more...

When photographer Meghan described Kristine & Robert's engagement session as 1950s nostalgia infused with silliness and some romance and style as well I was hooked! What a fabulous combination and what rock n roll cool these are! Thanks to Meghan for sharing these! Credit: Meghan Aileen PhotographyRead more...
