It may be a virtue, but patience certainly isn't something I have. Especially when it comes to sharing images like these ones. I was going to wait a little while to blog these, but it turns out I literally have no self control and I couldn't hold off any longer. I'm pretty sure you'll understand why... Eeek so gorgeous!

Well you lucky lucky things, have I got some adorable images to share with you today, starting with Jenna & Mike and their way-too-frickin'-cute park/picnic/vintage bike/doggie/awesome tattoo themed engagement session.

Thanks to Jenna & Mike for sending these to me and I can not wait to see your wedding in September! Credit: Melissa Rae KurzenskiRead more...

You can never guarantee the British weather, even in the height of summer. So for their August wedding Gabby came very well prepared with some super snazzy wellies! Thanks to David for sharing these with me. Credit: David Pullum PhotographyRead more...

Rachel & Geordie are a little bit too gorgeous to keep to myself and the orange motif that runs throughout the images - from her shoes and flowers to the Mini (bought by Rachel's Mother a week before the wedding!) and the JCB (!) - is just too damn awesome. The wedding took place in Rachel's parents' back yard and really had the stylish vintage vibe going on. Rachel's stunning 1920's inspired dress was custom made by her good friend (and clothing designer) Mireille Stettler and Geordie complimented her perfectly with his casual look. Thanks to the gorgeous and super talented Brittany for sending me these! Credit: Brittany Esther PhotographyRead more...

As soon as I say Ashley Rose's different perspective on boudoir photography I knew I had to share these with you. No bed, no 'sexy' light, no nakedness or expensive, especially purchased, underwear - in it's place a serious rock chick surrounded by things that define her personality - the cigarette, the tattoo, the records, the cute stripe socks and her favourite yellow top - these are the things she loves and these are the things that make her feel sexy. Thanks to Ashley for sharing this session with us Credit: Ashley RoseRead more...

I literally adore photographer Sarah Pukin's way of wording these images. I really can not compete. Enjoy this and enjoy these gorgeous images! The Tiny Bride. Once upon a time there was a girl who met a boy. The boy was in a band - when he saw the girl his heart grew and he knew she was the one. The girl gazed up at him and thought “could this be love at first sight?” As the boy came closer the girl reached her hand out - as he grabbed it they both knew that they were soul mates. They fell deeply in love. As time passed the boy and the girl got married and here are a few pages of their story. Thanks Sarah. You rock! Credit: Sarah Pukin PhotographyRead more...

Erika & Jamie's funfair engagement session is too damn cute. The best thing about a shoot at the fair? That there are awesome props everywhere! Thanks to Kate for sharing these. Credit: Kate HeadleyRead more...

So these aren't bridal at all but I totally wish they were - please someone be inspired and do something like this for a bridal shoot, how kick ass would that be?! The model's hat, necklace and dress are all from Frocky Jack Morgan. Thanks to Alica & Kenneth for sharing. MWAH! Credit: Vorpal ImagesRead more...

As much as we hate to admit it, summer is coming to an end. When we hit September and the kids go back to school that's pretty much it right? Hell I had to write an article for a magazine (hehe shameless self promotion to follow soon!) about winter weddings last week for crying out loud! However with the nights drawing in, we can't deny that the light gets that little bit more beautiful and the evenings become that little bit more comfortable - so comfortable in fact that Rachel & Nate felt the need for a pillow fight! You gotta love these...Read more...

It's such an honour to be the first blog to share this amazingly themed engagement session by Joy Marie! Karnis & Alex really wanted to break the pre-wedding shoot mould and so came up with the awesome creative concept of dressing up like some of their favourite iconic images and heroes. Who can you spot? Thanks to Joy for sharing these with us! Credit: Joy Marie PhotographyRead more...

With a wedding that took place in a public library (Boston to be exact) what better than copies of 'Pride & Prejudice'' as favours and a passion in their portraits that could rival the greatest love stories. The backdrop provided almost a gothic feel to the images - the shadows; the low, moody lighting and the colours of the old books - all give such a romantic feel of history and grandeur. Thanks to Lauren for sharing these. Credit: Person + Killian PhotographyRead more...

As photographers, Emmy & Aaron are more comfortable being behind the camera then in front, but for their one year anniversary (this week!) they decided they deserved some gorgeous photographs of their own! Emmy told me the whole story: When we took a little anniversary trip to a cabin on Cowichan Lake (Vancouver Island BC Canada) I pulled my dress, by Demetrios, out of the closet and took it with us. We had a great little cabin on the beach and there were some other perfectly decayed old buildings on the property including this great lime green shed. The owner expressed some concern that we were making photos in front of "the biggest eyesore on the property". I think that old shed is perfect!. We met over a conversation about our shared love of photography. Pretty soon we also loved each other and now we love making photographs together. We can't believe how lucky we are that we found each other and that we both have the same passion. I don't let him shoot me that often - I like being behind the camera as much as he does - but putting that dress on tends to let you become somebody else for a while. Doesn't hurt that its my hot hubby behind the camera! Everyone should do this on their anniversary – let those dresses out of the closet girls you look fabulous in them and they want to be seen! You don't have to be a photographer just head out and have some fun! I LOVE my dress and it was soooo much fun wearing it again!! Credit: E/A PhotographyRead more...

Carrie & Brian got hitched on the snow-capped Mt. Hood at The Timberline Lodge. Carrie's amazing dress, cashmere-and-organza ruffle bolero and hair piece with chenille dot netting, feathers and flowers were all designed by Elizabeth Dye (who I have featured a few times before) an independent clothing designer in Portland, Oregon. Their wedding was a total adventure playground of fun. To get to the venue all guests had to snow cat up steep snow slopes of Mt. Hood in a near white out snow fall. Photographers Shawn & Bonnie went on to tell me more: Beyond that the night was full of quirk and personal style, from their unique toasts that involved in-unison speaking to their wedding vows that were a written haiku read line by line by each person in attendance. Thanks for sharing guys! Credit: Find The FoundRead more...

I am not the most patient of people and when photographer David McNeil told me about Caroline & Callum's upcoming wedding at the beginning of this year I was already dying to see the results. The couple not only found David through Rock n Roll Bride but Caroline proceeded to tease me with regular email updates on their wedding planning gorgeousness - from her amazing David Fielden dress to her perfect Vivienne Westwood shoes (I loved them so much I even attempted to make my own Rock n Roll Bride version!)Read more...

Find your photographer through Rock n Roll Bride then it's pretty much a given that I'm going to totally love your wedding and wedding photography! That's exactly what Carolyn & Marc did and yep, I was right - stunning! The couple got married right in the centre of London - 'The City' as it's known. I love this part of town. My Dad works around here so I have fond memories of visiting him at his office when I was younger, marvelling at the huge and modern nature of landmarks like The Gherkin and The Lloyds Building vs. the ornate detail of the indoor Leadenhall Market (where Carolyn & Marc had their reception.) I remember my Dad once taking me into on of the bars in this area which to a 15 year old kid was very exciting! Be sure to head over to Marianne's blog for a much larger selection of images from this day! Thanks to Marianne for sending these to me and stay tuned for yet another amazing wedding - photographer sourced from this very site - later! Credit: Marianne Taylor PhotographyRead more...

"More More More!" I hear you cry...Well who am I to stand in the way of gorgeousness? Kelty of Steep Street (who I have a total girl crush on by the way) send these to me and Eeeek! aren't they stunning? Kendra & Chris were up for anything for their engagemnt shoot and so Kelty took them on a magical mystical tour - from a spooky tree in Golden Gate Park to an adorable picnic location and a stunning wide open spaces style shoot. Thanks, as always, to the gorgeous Kelty for sharing her amazing work! Credit: Steep Street PhotographyRead more...

So I received a link to this amazing lifestyle style engagement session last week and I have been waiting with baited breath all week to share them with you! I love the concept. It's like a day in the life of...series. It really reminds me of that Brangelina W Magazine shoot. It's got a great 1950's vibe to it all. Either way it's flipping gorgeous and Sabina & Andres make for fantastic models. Thanks to Molly & Matt for sharing this awesome set with us! Credit: Mathieu PhotographyRead more...

Wow I have a lot (and I mean a hell of a lot!) of wedding awesomeness to share today. I almost don't know where to start! With a couple that are both artists (her an Etsy Seller - Drink & Dream, and him a musician) I wouldn't expect anything less than a detail-perfect wedding. Photographer Kella described these personal touches to me:Read more...

I’ve received a number of questions regarding search engine optimisation (SEO) recently so I thought part two of the ‘How to Blog’ series should be devoted to the idea of, in my experience, making Google your friend. This is long I warn you. I'd suggest grabbing a cup of tea and a cupcake before you start on this bad boy!Read more...
