You Can’t Be Serious – Engaging

Kat

June 24, 2009

I've got another double whammy for you - this time the same couple but two sessions...their engagements and wedding photographs are so good I have to share both! Starting with the engagement session by You Can't Be Serious. Holy Moly I love these! Jess & Dana are one of those couples you just want to be aren't they?! Effortlessly cool and ooh thereis even a cute little video! Photographer Hailey Bartholonew is also a Videographer, so if you're looking for a multi talented super rock n roll photographer in Australia she is definitely worth a look! Hang on tight for their wedding photographs, they are gonna blow you away!

A Sweet Engagement

How about another little gem from Sweet Monday Photography? This time a ridiculously cool engagement session. Any photo session with graffiti, pink shoes and Groom-t0-be in a shirt as wicked as this one gets my vote!

Utterly Sweet Weddings

Kat

June 24, 2009

I have a couple of gorgeous sets from Sweet Monday Photography to share with you today, starting with the stunning, rustic wedding of Naama & Greg. What drew me to this wedding straight away was Naama's beautifully simple and cute dress but what kept me going through all the photographs was all the gorgeous little details they put into their day. The couple were married at Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles and Neema got her dress from Ebay, oh yes! It was a real family affair with all the flowers coming from her Mum's garden and her sister Melissa makingall the stationary. The couple also put all the favours and table numbers together themselves. The result is a completely gorgeous DIY soiree!

I love Adorn Atelier hairpieces and Ophelia photography so what could be better than a shoot that combines the two?! Swoon...

I Actually Squealed With Excitement…

Kat

June 22, 2009

Ever since Tim & Merrill's engagements, I have been waiting with bated breath for what feels like a lifetime for this wedding to happen and the photographs to be shared! Not only is Mark Brooke a photographer I simply adore, but the Groom is photographer Tim Melideo so I just knew the results would be nothing less than spectacular. I am quite frankly anything but disappointed! In fact I love these so much I could actually squeal. Tim & Merrill have got some style that deserves some serious envy. The boys are rocking their same look different tie thing and the girls just look ridiculously gorgeous in their pink dress/bright flowers combo.

Fashion Envy

Kat

June 21, 2009

I am jealous, elated and over-excited all at the same time after discovering Piksi's flickr stream. Have you ever seen a girl with such an amazingly polished style? The 60's vibe is perfect for her pixie cute look, I would go crazy if I was to find a wedding in the same style. Imagine Bridesmaids in some outfits like these...<> Some of my fashion highlights of her gorgeous clothes (that I want to steal) include - her adorable heart bag from Minna Parikka, the cream, ruffle-topped dress by IVANAhelsinki and the swing, pleated grey coat from H&M...man, my wardrobe is so dull!

Happy Sunday and a very Happy Father's day to you all. Posting will be slim today as I am cooking up the most amazing contest which I will launch tomorrow...believe me, it's worth checking back! The light, bright and fresh colour palate of this gorgeous wedding has been perfectly mimicked by Benj Haisch's gorgeous photography. The whole effect is a chilled out, cool and calm one and they seem to have had an absolute blast! Thanks to Benj Haisch for this submission - photographers, if you too fancy seeing your work on Rock n Roll Bride, drop me a little email why don't ya?

A Low-Key Party

Kat

June 20, 2009

Jess & Mike were really excited about having a really low-key party where their friends from all over and families could all be together and that's exactly what they delivered. The wedding was all in one place at the Valley Green Inn up in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. It was a quick outdoor ceremony officiated by Jess' uncle. The couple chose not to have rings and opted for a very simplistic approach to their flower, using little bundles of wild flowers for the bouquets. Jess made her own gorgeous red dress out of a vintage evening gown and also made all the decorations inside the restaurant which included tin can lanterns, string lights and a garland hung from the ceiling. Jess and Mike weren't too concerned with lots of family groups, but more with photos of everyone hanging out and having a good time. Colin Leaman came along to assist the main photographer Amanda and set up a little photo booth area for which Jess brought along tons of hats and wigs and other props for her guests to use in the funny photos. As an added touch, the couple requested friends and family write down three songs that they would love to hear at the wedding on their invitation replies so that evertbody got to hear something they liked at the reception

Oriental Obsession

Kat

June 20, 2009

Ever since our honeymoon in Japan, I have been obsessed with all things Japanese - whether that be Hello Kitty, the ridiculously scary horror movies, the food (my friends will vouch for this one - I don't think anyone has a sushi obsession like me) the fashion or just all things generally kawaii! This Japanese influenced wedding was sent to me by photographer Aaron Spicer, he describes the day: Kyle and Nicole were married on Sunday May 17th, 2009 in Richmond, VA at Maymont Park in the Japanese Gardens. The ceremony took place by a rustic Japanese pagoda that neighbors a Koi pond. Everything that could be done DIY, was. Nicole's mother made her dress and all of the bridesmaids dresses. Kyle and Nicole handmade over five hundred origami cranes, and gift boxes that included wasabi peas, ginger candy and other Japanese treats. Nicole's sister designed the wedding programs, as well. The bridesmaids all carried parasols, and the groomsmen all wore red Converse All-Stars to match Nicole's red shoes. Nicole carried purple lilies. The reception was held in a tent on the grounds of Maymont. It was decorated with origami cranes, lit votives and Japanese lanterns. The night concluded with a traditional money dance set to a polka dance. Yep, Japan is definitely amazing. I want to live there please!

Perfectly Personal

Kat

June 20, 2009

Melissa and Nate had a perfectly personal wedding last May in Logan, Utah. Melissa's wore a vintage dress, and Nate's suit was pinstriped and fitted. They had one of their favourite bands, Mates of State, playing throughout their reception and the whole day had a homely, indie, persoanal feel. The couple DIY'd a-plenty including the framed bride and groom silhouettes that Melissa made and the cake, which was made by the groom's sister.

Desperate Housewife?

Kat

June 18, 2009

These are too gorgeous for words. I am c-c-crazy about this sexy 1960's 'desperate housewife' inspired engagement shoot from Ryan of RCJones Photography. The glasses in particular are so super sexy! The couple also starred in an equally gorgeous modern day shoot, so be sure to head over to Ryan's blog to check that one out too!

Rock n Roll Bride In Print.

Kat

June 18, 2009

So about 6 months ago I received an email from Wedding Ideas Magazine saying our wedding had been submitted to them as a Real Wedding feature by our photographers English Rose and would we be happy for them to share them. Being the huge poser that I am, of course I said yes. So I picked up a copy of the magazine today and although some of the photographs they chose I don't really like (I think my face looks huge in the pain photograph for example!) and the article is beyond a cheese-fest, it is a little bit exciting to be in print...and can you believe they even called me a Rock Chick...maybe they knew...
