Melinda & Stu’s Rock n Roll Princess, Castle Wedding

Kat

December 15, 2010

have a certain affinity with this bride...can anyone work out why?! Cryptic huh? In fact you lot know me so well that I was sent links to this wedding by no less than five readers telling me I had to feature it as they all wanted to know more about this gorgeous wedding. Well, you asked...and I delivered. I'm so chuffed! Melinda & Stu were married in September at Thornewood Castle, Tacoma, WA. "My husband had always envisioned getting married in a European Castle," began the bride. "Unfortunately, I knew if we did that we'd have a very lonely wedding with just us and our parents, so we had to set our sights closer to... well, this continent. I didn't think it would be possible to find what Stu was envisioning in the Pacific Northwest, until I stumbled across Thornewood Castle. The Tudor manor house was originally build in England in the 1500's, but in 1910 it was moved brick by brick and reassembled on it's current site on American Lake in Tacoma, WA. We had the ceremony in the sunken rose garden, and the reception in the great hall, dining room, and loggia."

Photography Friday (Monday!) – Snow Day

Kat

December 6, 2010

Yeah..this is kinda late but I'm not going to apologise for wanting to stay in and keep warm last week! Minus 2 is not my idea of a fun time. However I did want to share a few snowy pictures with you so this weekend I put on my faux fur coat and trusty Superdry boots (my current daily uniform of choice) and bravely wondered outside into the deep freeze. Our sprinkling of snow certainly isn't as deep as many places in the UK right now, but the slightly frosted scenes did make for some super pretty pictures. Oh and how cute is freezy cold Gareth?!

The Perfect Christmas Present to Yourself – A Limited Edition Rock n Roll Bride Wall Planner!

Kat

November 24, 2010

Shameless self-promotion alert! A few months ago I was talking to some photographer friends of mine who were looking to buy their 2011 wall planners - a vital organisational tool when you run your own business. However the moans came that all the planners available were so boring! Why should such a creative bunch look at a plain and uninspiring sight all year?!

At Home with the Rock n Roll Bride (and Groom!)

Kat

November 22, 2010

Over the summer I was contacted by Wedding Ideas Magazine who featured our wedding last year. They asked if we would like to take part in a 'Where Are They Now?' style feature, which we jumped at the chance to be involved with. One problem, they asked for some recent photographs of Me & Gareth... Eeek. You see, when you work 8 days a week including doing lots of photo shoots, having nice photographs taken with your loved one isn't something that regularly comes to mind (when I'm not out working I can pretty much be found slumming it around in my jogging bottoms - sexy I know.) However luckily for us, my awesome friend Emma Case just happened to be visiting so I asked her if she'd be so kind as to take some shots of us. What lucky ducks we are.

Photography Friday – Kat & Gareth = ♥

Kat

November 12, 2010

This is a bit of a cheat on my part this week as I didn't actually take this photo myself. My friend Emma Case came to visit us this week and while she was here we did an impromptu photo shoot in our garden and bedroom. I can't wait to see and share the rest, but to whet your appetite, here's a sneak peek of what's to come really soon! How sexy is my husband?!?

“Rock n Revolution” – Behind the Scenes Exclusive

Kat

October 25, 2010

I didn't want to make a huge deal of this post because I don't want to bore you with more stuff surrounding my shoot in Paris...however it was incredible so maybe just one more little post about it?! First up, I must say a huge thank you to Love my Dress and The Wedding Chicks for both featuring some images from the shoot on their blogs. Also to every single one of you who commented, tweeted and emailed me to tell me how much you loved the shoot thank you SO MUCH! It really does mean the world to me that you all loved what we did.

Rachael & Tony’s Land of Make Believe Wedding

Kat

October 22, 2010

"The theme of our wedding was inspired by us being big kids and my love for make-believe, colour & Alice In Wonderland," Rachael & Tony told me. "The garden (which was right next to the reception - which was held at Brett's Wharf on Kingsford Smith Drive Hamilton, Brisbane) was filled with toadstools, moss and over-sized cartoon style colourful flowers. We had 'floating' windows and a door hanging in the entrance with a 'Welcome' sign on wood tied in a tree."

“Rock n Revolution” – A Parisian Punk Rock Marie Antoinette Photo Shoot… The Final Results!

Kat

October 18, 2010

A few months ago photographer David McNeil and I were sat in a Creperie in London. He turned to be and said, "Let's do another photo shoot and let's make it the best yet... Let's go to Paris!" It's hard to believe how far we've come since that from that first whimsical conversation and really that we actually managed to pull it off - to hop over the channel and channel my inner Marie Antoinette! Well, if I do say so myself, we not only pulled it off but we SMASHED it! I am actually so blown away by the whole experience (and the results) that I kind of don't really know where to start..maybe the beginning would help?

A Sunday Kind of Love – Coming Up Tomorrow…

Kat

October 17, 2010

Oh yes! Hold on your your hats people because tomorrow, at 9am, I'll be unleashing the final EPIC results of my latest and greatest photo shoot...in Paris baby, Paris! You might want to prepare to be blown away...

Rock n Revolution – A Parisian Sneak Peek Part 1

Kat

October 13, 2010

Yes, that is how excited I am to share this. As most of you will know I headed over to gay Parieeee this week for the shoot to end all shoots, and BOY did it deliver. As you can probably see, the theme was punk rock Marie Antoinette and the props the stylist sourced were amazing. The dresses were super impressive (although I'll be honest, I was a little afraid of them - they were BIG!) I got papped by more tourists than I'd like to count and was asked to appear in a French music video! I am a total Paris convert and will demand that Gareth takes me there again tout de suite!

A Tim Burton-esque, Victoriana Goth, South African Wedding

Kat

October 7, 2010

I've got another killer South African wedding to share with you today. Jess & Matt's amazing individual style and totally out-there wedding may even make you squeal a little bit. This creative couple pulled off a wedding that was nothing short of spectacular in every way!

Best of Blogs – Issue 12 ~ Mad Hatter Rock n Roll Bride & The Power of Blog Networking

Kat

September 6, 2010

When I realised this month's issue of Photo Pro Magazine would be the twelfth featuring little old me I got all contemplative. Wow, I've been writing for this awesome photography magazine for over a year - not only where has the time gone, but seriously how much has changed in that time!? Lots I tell you! I wanted to make this article sort of a 'round up' style feature - i.e. what have I learnt over this past 12 months and how have I put it into practice. One of the things I've totally loved (and I think most of you have enjoyed seeing) are my photo shoots. I also wanted to give an almighty shout out to the girls involved in this epic shoot with the article too.

Photography Friday – Flowers, Dreadlocks & My Utterly Gorgeous Sister

Kat

September 3, 2010

I'm actually super excited about posting these - my first actual 'set' of photos that weren't just of me messing about at home on my own. Today I went into town with my sister Rachel (and yes I did name my cat after her!) It just so happens to be totally gorgeous so I forced her to play model all day. I think she gave me a run for my money actually!

(Pink) Caravan of Love

Kat

September 2, 2010

Kate & Charles had a vintage, punky and pink (caravan!) wedding on the Isle of Wight. As soon as I saw Kate in her incredible 1950's cotton lace Fur Coat No Knickers vintage gown I knew I wanted to feature them "They made the bow birdcage veil out of a back panel of the dress and sourced the most beautiful velvet ribbon sash to finish off the dress" the bride told me.

Inspired by the Rock n Roll shoots & weddings he saw on Rock n Roll Bride, South African photographer Adrian Shields wanted to emulate the style and passion he saw coming from the US and the UK. Rag 'n Bone was born.

Rock n Roll Party Report

Kat

August 16, 2010

You may have heard that I held a little Rock n Roll party last week for some kick ass, killer UK wedding suppliers. I basically wanted to a) drink cocktails and eat cupcakes b) meet some awesome people and c) bring those awesome people together into one ginormous big sparkly melting pot of joy... and I think I actually managed to pull it off!

An Outrageous Punk Rock Engagement Sesh.

Kat

July 27, 2010

Woo! Another true Rock n Roll Bride couple. Rachel & Dale wanted a really punk rock engagement shoot complete with heavy make up (for both of them) outrageous hair and vintage clothes, and after they saw Shelly of Toast of Leeds featured on Rock n Roll Bride they knew she was the lady for the job!

Eccentric, Retro & Kitsch

Kat

July 26, 2010

Chen Lie & Thom got married in Oz in a crazy, wild and fun party way. She is Australian and he is British (they now live and work in Prague!) so they decided to head over to Chen Lie's hometown of Perth for their 1960s/70s/John & Yoko inspired wedding.

A Really Dramatic Impact

Kat

July 20, 2010

As a pale chick with brightly coloured hair myself, I felt an instant affinity to Cheyenne's photo shoot. Photographer Sarah wanted to contrast with something dark and almost gothic is style as she knew this would create a really dramatic impact. "The black lipstick was definitely my starting point for the rest of the styling. Our first outfit was the lace trimmed bodysuit with the patterned tights and long coat. We shot in the late afternoon, but it was still over 100 degrees here (LA), she was a real trooper. I thought that this would be an interesting approach to a boudoir session with a bride not into the traditional lacy panty pics. I hope I find a bride who would be down for it! ha. All of the outfits were from my vintage and thrifted collection of pieces."
