I woke up today feeling like I didn't want to get out of bed. At all. However I dragged my sorry self out pf my pit and boy am I glad I did. I swear, I think the stuff I have to share today may be by favourites ever. I have had some absolutely phenomenal bridal shoots and weddings land in my inbox overnight. Think I'm exaggerating? Well just check out this photo shoot sent exclusively to meeee. All the dresses were supplied by White Orchid Brides. If you're in the Knoxville area methinks you need to check these bad boys out. Erm..hello beautiful! Tara and Colleen you literally rock my world...Read more...

This Finnish wedding shot by photographer extraordinaire, Marianne Taylor (I have had the pleasure of meeting and being photographed by her - oh yes I am a lucky ducky) literally hit me straight between the eyes. What I adore so much about Marianne's work is how perfectly she captures atmosphere and the ambiance of a wedding. Her reportage work is seriously second to none. Even though a Finnish wedding has slightly different traditions to that of a British or American one, there is really not much difference when it comes to all the details. I adore the Bride, Miikka's red shoes and cuuute red, heart earrings for example, and the lovely 'Pam ♥ Miikka' sign is too adorable for words.Read more...

When thinking about Mexico, the images that swim around my head (that is, after tequila and fajitas of course) are a fabulous and brightly colour hubbub of excitement. A bustling flurry of exhilaration. To me, my assumption is definitely reflected in their amazing portraits - just check out that yellow wall! The Bride, Dana, described their wedding vision to me: I am from Boston and my husband is from Mexico City. We live in Boston, but I wanted to share his amazing culture and the unique city with my family and friends so we decided to have a destination wedding. Our theme was modern meets classic with a major emphasis on something that has always bound us: our love of music. The ceremony was done set to our favorite songs—a mix of alternative rock and classic Mexican music. Mexico City is in itself, a huge mix of styles and old meets new, so we really played that up in our choices for the whole 4-day experience. Modern hotel and flashy nightclub outings, mixed with a traditional hacienda wedding locale and a live mariache band.

I was lucky enough to meet both Eliza (the photographer) and Ly (the model) who sent me this trash the dress session to me a while back on a now rather infamously drunk night out in London! I can safely say the fun and frolics you see below perfectly reflecttheir slightly mischievous personalities. Isn't the shot with the sun coming down just phenomenal? ...and the deers are just amazing, you don't get this is California!

You would be forgiven for thinking that backyard weddings are always small, budget affairs? Well not when the Bride's parents own Portefleur estate! This surely made for a super swanky venue and wedding. Aaron proposed to Lauren with a song he wrote for her and even treated the guests to it at the reception..ahh love. Thanks to Mathieu for sharing these with me Credit: Mathieu PhotographyRead more...

I have to apologise that my posting has been a little on the slim side this weekend. I have given myself a rare little rest, spending some time with my hubby and generally being a little bit wifey (we even went to Ikea and I've just bought myself a Holga camera - these things are exciting in my world.) But don't despairdear reader, I will be back with avengence next week and to keep you tied until then, here's a little sneaky peak of what's to come. Until super duper soon...Read more...

Although Suzanne & Eric are getting married in Hong Kong, they chose to have their engagement session in London surrounded by the iconic landmarks of the city. Oh and how beyond gorgeous is Suzanne's dress by the way?! Thanks to Craig & Chanelle for sharing this gorgeous session Credit: Segerius Bruce PhotographyRead more...

You may have seen a few a snippets of this wedding gorgeousness on a number of other blogs, however I've gotta go that one step further and get you the full scoop on the wedding behind these glorious images. Katie & Nathan's wedding took place in the Groom's parent's back garden. They decided on a simple yet stunning green and white theme which was perfectly reflected in their surroundings. Katie's dress was a vintage find and Nathan wore a suit from Zara. Unconventionally the couple had their reception they day before their ceremony. They decided they would rather have a full day to perfectly engross themselves in their temple wedding without feeling at all distracted by the craziness of a reception to follow. Nathan said: It worked out perfect for us. Party hard the night before, and enjoy the simplicity of the temple ceremony with family and close friends the day after. Highly recommend it. A huge thank you to Nathan & Katie for allowing me to share their wedding. Images from this set can also be found on some of my other favourite blogs including {frolic} and {Casando Idieas} Credit: Julie WallaceRead more...

I have very much been looking forward to sharing these rockabilly style, pin up-esque, damn super sexy boudoir shoots from Marin Kristine Photography. Anyone who rocks a pink or blue wig gets a thumbs up from me. These may make a great gift for your future Husband, but nobody can deny you'll have just as much fun playing dress up!Read more...

I was forwarded Danielle & Jerry's wedding by the lovely Amanda of Vintage Glam. I saw it and I loved it. I also discovered their rocking engagement session so I had to feature these first. Danielle's cute little hair bow, their awesome tattoos (do I sound like a broken record sometimes?) and the almost spooky fun fair location - I love it all. Stand by for the wedding, complete with a Groomsman with a mohawk and a Bride in a black wedding dress.Read more...

If you would have told me six months ago that I'd be getting submissions saying 'I shot this session with Rock n Roll Bride in mind' I would have said you were totally nuts. In fact I still think you're a bit nuts but I guess that's beside the point. Keira & Dan had a super cute session with Studio Nouveau. The vintage camera, the bright blue wall, the awesome trilby hat - yes I love it all. You've gotta watch the slideshow as well because I just can't get enough of this wonderful stuff. Thanks to Lara & Kate of Studio Nouveau for not only thinking of me, but for being super duper adorable. Credit: Studio NouveauRead more...

This session is quite frankly gorgeous. So gorgeous in fact that I don't think my incessant ramblings can do it justice. Therefore I won't. Ramble that is. Just lookie and love what you see (eeek the chalkboard shots are to die for!) Erica thank you so much for sharing this little bit of happiness. Credit: Erica BergerRead more...

The Infinite Design team went for something totally different for Brady and Nithya's wedding trailer. The result is something with much more of a filmic feel - blurring the lines between cinematography and videography so to speak. It evokes the emotion and the vibe of the wedding in a much more subtle way. I totally love it. It brings me back to my university days studying film and makes me feel ever so slightly intelligent again! Thanks so much to Tim for sharing this special filmRead more...

Whoa sexy mamma! A boudoir shoot with a rock n roll edge? I likey. The Bride who sent these to me said her husband was 'one happy rock star' when he saw them - I bet! I don't get to feature enough rockin' boudoir shoots, if you've got one don't be shy - send it my way. Credit: Lisa Mark PhotographyRead more...

Karlie & Jamie only made the decision to get married three months before the day. A lot of their friends were getting married during the year and had spent months planning everybody else's weddings. So it wasn't until the very last minute, that the laid back couple decided to get engaged and then hitched literally straight away! Karlie's father is a pastor at their church so they started the day with a very heartfelt, personal service. They then went to a local park to have some cool portraits taken (they couple also had their engagement shoot here) and rounded off the day with a small reception in Karlie's parent's back garden. Special thanks to photographer Kate for sharing this beautiful day with me. Credit: Depict PhotographyRead more...
