After featuring one gorgeous Elizabeth Dye dress today I appear to be on a roll, as photographer Julie Randall just sent me this wedding day shoot and guess which designer the Bride is wearing? For your photographic geeks, this session was shot using "my trusty Hasselblad to get a nice mix of film and digital" For everybody else just stand back and soak in the beauty... Thanks to Julie for sending me this glorious gorgeousness! Note: The voting for the NY film shoot winners is hotting up y'all! If you haven't voted yet then you better get a wriggle on...

As trash the dress goes, it doesn't get much better than getting in some water and thrashing about in your gown. Yes, it's been done and we've seen it all before but who cares? You'll have a hell lot of fun and get some awesome photographs to boot! Thanks to the ever so gorgeous Tab for sharing this session. Mwah! Credit: Tab McCausland

Vintage Vegas

Kat

August 18, 2009

I've never been to Vegas and I'm not all together convinced I'd like the craziness, but when I see images like these I know it can't be just one big city of sin. According to photographer Maria Mack, Las Vegas doesn't have to be all bright lights, strippers, gambling and bachelor parties. These beautiful, retro shots show Vegas in a much softer light, - one with cute heart signs and quirky vintage touches. Oh yes, this is a Vegas I could get on board with... Thanks to Maria for showing me the diversity of a Las Vegas photo shoot!

Worth The Wait

Kat

August 18, 2009

Sometimes a wedding comes along that is so damn fabulous that it's worth the wait for. I was sent an image of the bride trying on her stunning Elizabeth Dye dress by a reader, boy must have been about 6 months ago, and since then I have made it my mission to find more about the wedding, the dress, the girl, the guy and the stunning photography - it's all a bit too delightful for words huh?I am so excited to finally announce that I have the results right here! You are going to be completely gaga over these - I know I am! Ali & Danny were married on the 6th June at Bend, Oregon. The ruffles, the flowers, the cute cute shoes...I just love it all.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important news flash...Bristol photographer Rosie Parsons has just shot one of the most gorgeously vintage style weddings right here in England. Oh yes, England rules the vintage roost today dear friends. The beautiful 1920's vintage styling and crockery was supplied by Clara Bows, the Bride herself. Don't you just love the quirty fashion everyone is sporting?..oh the swoon... Credit: Rosie Parsons

Happy snoozy Sunday to you all! I have a distinct lack of a day filled with snooze myself as I plan to share some gorgeous and rockin' trash the dress sessions with you (and knowing me probably more!) I'm going to start with the hot shoot sent in by the very lovely Jeffery Chan of I Cherish You, a photographer from Toronto. The location of the shoot is pretty awesome huh? The shoot took place in the abandoned Kodak building which is now apparantly a very popular shoot zone for local photographers. Thanks to Jeffery for sharing these with me! Credit: I Cherish You

Central Park Love

Kat

August 15, 2009

No wonder Central Park is always in the movies...OK so I totally stole this line from one of the commenters on the photographer's blog post but it pretty much sums up what I wanted to say about this shoot myself! Laura & Bearden had this shoot as an anniversary gift to each other. If you too fell in love in New York then be sure to get your entries in for the fabulous 'We fell in love in NYC' contest. It closes for entries tomorrow so you'd better get a wriggle on! All info is here... MWAH! Credit: Krista Photography

Prohibition Picnic

With it's 1920's prohibition styling, this engagement session is quite simply divine! I am loving Nellie's authentic dress, parasol and show combo plus Nick's adorable woolen waistcoat..and that pink sky...ooooh pretty pretty! Thanks to Moe for sending these to me

Capturing The Moment

Kat

August 15, 2009

Where has Forty Sixty Photographybeen all my life? Why only now am I being sent this wonderfulness?! Although photographer Chris specialises in music and band images, he is now beginning to branch out into engagements and weddings, as he says ' I love capturing people in the moment, when they let their true emotions shine through.' All I can say is thank goodness and it's about time! Credit: Forty Sixty Photography

50 First Dates

Kat

August 14, 2009

It's official. I have found my absolute favourite video ever. Seriously I really do mean EVER! I did not stop smiling the whole way through this an I even nearly shed a teeny tiny tear. The concept behind the engagement shoot was '50 First Dates'.

A Feather Love Wedding

Kat

August 14, 2009

The very gorgeous Noa of Feather Love Photography ran a contest to give one lucky couple free wedding photography (plus a few extra treats including a blog post on eastside bride.) Not wanting to take anything away from the blog du jour I just really just wanted to share some of these gorgeous images and send you on your way over to eastside for all the juicy details (but be sure to come back - I have more gorgeousness to share today!)

Will & Kerr are getting married next month in the glorious San Francisco. Originally from New York, the couple will surely have a super stylish day at Presidio Chapel and Marines' Memorial Club. Kerr is wearing a dress originally worn by her Grandmother on her first date with her Grandfather which really adds to the personal and intimate feel of this session. Note: If you too met and fell in love in New York then you better get on a enter the New York film contest. The contest is open for entries until Sunday so hurry up!

Entertaining.

Alison & Steve had their wedding at Baldwin School just outside of Philadelphia, a really old but truly stunning location. Not only did they have a folk band to welcome guests to the reception, but to round off the evening they had a local circus group as entertainment! Credit: Ash Imagery

Punk Rock

August 13, 2009

I have a cocktail induced sore head today so posting may be lighter and/or make no sense today. I am struggling to string a sentence together... This shoot by Kelly Moore kind of made my head hurt even more due to all the brightness but I love it too much not to post. Of course there is no relation to weddings at all within this shoot, but it's so pretty it's worth a mini deviation. Credit: Kelly Moore Photography

Under The Spotlight – Lara Jade

Kat

August 12, 2009

So I don't usually post a selection of photographers work, preferring to focus on one wedding, engagement or photo shoot instead of a bit of a mish-mash. However I believe I am able to make an exception for Lara Jade. The twenty year old (yes I know!) fashion photographer from Tamworth, UK is quite frankly so inspiring and talented that she really deserves every single image of hers to be posted. Lara's fashion and editorial style is second to none. Just check out these images and tell me you're not in love with them? Unfortunately with her being so fabulous and all, her work is often stolen and used illegally (and yes I did get permission for this post!) If you fancy hearing more about this then I just found this fab BBC video all about it. Thanks to the gorgeous Lara for working with me on the post, and if you are a photographer or vendor yourself and are interested in being a subject in an 'Under the Spotlight' feature then get in touch for all the info!
