Engagement

Mr & Mrs Tattooboy

Kat

September 16, 2010

Could these two be any more made for Rock n Roll Bride (and each other!) if they tried?! Seeing their tattoos-a-plenty and whole lot of love makes me a very happy blogger indeed. "These two cool kids are totally rockin' with not only all of those tatts, but their playful spirits & genuine love for one another" photographer Christina told me. "But ohhhh hot damn, their rockin' tattoos are flat glorious!!!! We were in tattoo heaven when we met up with them. I think I felt a little drool on my shirt. haha. With Matt being a tattoo artist they even have a few matching ones that they did themselves. They're just too cute with their tom shoes & silly faces. We LOVE Kori & Matt! Their wedding is planned for this coming october and we can hardly wait, it's gonna rock!"

It’s Only Rock n Roll…

Kat

September 13, 2010

Musicians Diane & Mark wanted to do something different to the usual portrait session for their engagements. They brought along their beloved instruments and rocked the hell out! I'm also totally in love with the sheet music speech bubbles, an awesome Rock n Roll take on the usual props.

Aeroplanes, Vintage Fashion & A Food Fight!

Kat

September 10, 2010

Aeroplanes, vintage clothes a food fight make for a pretty incredible engagement session. Kristen & Steve put a lot of thought and effort into their ideas for the shoot, and Kristen even went the full whack and wore a genuine vintage dress from the 1970's that had belonged to her Mother.

Hitchfest 2010 – Bowie Bride Gets Wed – The Engagement Session

Kat

September 9, 2010

Confession: I have been looking forward to Britt & Mike's wedding for like, a year. Britt runs the awesome blog Bowie Bride where she's been sharing with us their "oh so pec-u-liar" journey to the alter in her own, totally kick ass, anti-wedding industry and super colourful, DIY-mad way.

How To…Get the Best Out of Your Engagement Shoot

Kat

September 4, 2010

This week I got chatting to Brighton-based photographer Joanna Brown who has just put together a list of engagement shoot prep ideas to give to her clients. I loved it so much I asked if she'd share it with you all too.

Abandoned Prison Picnic Engagement Sesh.

Kat

September 1, 2010

It's official, photographer Matt Miller gets the coolest most Rock n Roll clients! Stephanie & Adam had a picnic at an abandoned prison for their engagement shoot shoot - not only a killer juxtaposition of themes, but maybe even a bit of a dig at the oh-so-often-seen 'vintage picnic' setting...it actually might not be but I kinda like the idea that it is!

Wind, Hair & Rock n Roll

Kat

August 31, 2010

"Just another hot and windy Sunday afternoon in Tracy, CA" began photographer Nirav. "Showing Matt & Lynnae's love for each other meant that they had to feel extremely comfortable in their location and with me so I decided to start the session at a place that they had spent a lot of time together and had lots of character which was Matt's mother's home/farm. The home included stables, a farm house, and several critters of all sorts. We took several shots there and once things felt right we moved out to the hills of Tracy with the intention of shooting with the giant windmills in the background. When we got, the security patrol was there to make sure those shots were not going to happen. The amount of wind up on hill was tremendous and I loved the movement of hair so we took the remainder of the shots there with a very simple backdrop. My favorite shots are ones that play on light and shadows. I wanted at least one dramatic silhouette shot which is when I spotted the power lines. After that, we all headed back to house and passed out from heat exhaustion."

So Cool it Hurts – Hoola Hoops, Bunting & Cups of Tea

Kat

August 25, 2010

Oh yes! How flippin' cool are these guys? With a background in music photography, Steve Gerrard always seems to attract the ultimate Rock n Roll couples and Rom & Will certainly aren't an exception. So cool it hurts.

Dinner Love and the Quest for Soup – A Video Game Proposal

Kat

August 24, 2010

I saw Steffany & Anders engagement photographs and amazing (like, seriously amazing) proposal video on their photographer Emily's blog and instantly knew I had to feature them. These two are the actual cutest! Steffany told me the whole story... "My story is something like, "OHMYGOD he proposed and it was SO CUTE!" And then I cried. I still can't believe he went to so much trouble. I always assumed that when/if he proposed it would be at a restaurant (which makes sense because we both LOVE to eat!) but instead he enlisted the help of five of his friends and made me the most amazing and thoughtful game ever. The game actually has a name - Dinner Love and the Quest for Soup! It's named for my food blog, dinnerlove.com, and also for my love of SOUP! You can't really tell in the video, but he put so many pieces of us in that game."

You Rock My World

Kat

July 19, 2010

Alex & Lisa met 13 years and discovered a mutual love of music, books & film "We met nearly 13 years ago and the one thing that brought us together was music. He was wearing a t shirt of my favourite band and I fell for him" Lisa told me. "When we started dating we would wander around London checking out music shops, flicking through CD and vinyl to add to our collections and then head to a local cinema to catch a film. We probably spent more time in the records shops in Soho and a cinema than anywhere else. Many of those films we saw are now our favourite films and we probably know them inside out. I read books like there is no tomorrow and Alex is slowly coming round to that after having spent a lifetime reading comics and graphic novels. I bake cakes every weekend and while I enjoy making them, Alex enjoys eating them so when we are out I always take him to a cake shop so we can have a treat. I am also the official photographer in our relationship and I have the cameras and stacks of photo's to prove it. Alex helped me buy my first SLR and he sat in front of the camera on many occasion to help me with college projects"

The Glorious British Summertime

Kat

July 19, 2010

How much do I love Hayley & Lucas' adorable English countryside engagement shoot? Almost makes me proud to be British! The ever-lovely Lisa Devlin captured the couple in Sussex as they wanted a countryside location and with the yellow flowers, Hayley's outfit and the glorious British summertime light (yes, it does happen sometimes) the scene couldn't have been more perfect. Over the last year or so props have been massively popular in weddings and photo shoots however Hayley & Lucas wanted to keep their shoot simple - just them. They did opt to bring some flowers though and Donal at Pollen came up with the spiky posy of zingy yellow chrysanthemums to contrast beautifully with their rural, natural setting.

A Whimsical, Dreamy & Vintage Engagement

Kat

July 16, 2010

Edgy, retro, stylised. Athena & Branden's gorgeous vintage toned engagement session took place in San Francisco. They used a red balloon, a vintage suitcase, a fabulous old car, a deserted barn and wildflowers to create this really whimsical, dreamy setting and overall look.

Retro Art Deco Kitsch

Kat

July 13, 2010

I LOVE a bit of retro kitsch and Caroline & Jim couldn't be more perfect at pulling this off if they tried. The shoot took place in their own Art Deco apartment in Brighton (just check out the exterior shots!) which has been decorated with an eclectic mix of bits and bobs collected from all over and ranging in era from the 1920's right through to the 1970's. I adore everything from the authentic mirror, clocks and Princess Anne collectible mugs to the incredible wallpaper and all the retro furniture. Jim is 'Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer' , a brilliant musician playing all over the country at gigs, weddings, parties and festivals. Caroline has a complete passion for fashion as she works in the fashion industry in London. The pair both embrace everything retro and nostalgic in fashion and styling, so their style was spot on for this style of shoot. The couple both wore all their own clothes to give a completely genuine portrayal of themselves and who they are as a couple.

London Rock

Kat

July 12, 2010

Ali & Dean are pure rock! Both in bands, the couple are getting married (in what's sure to be a super stylish Rock (n Roll) wedding really soon and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Lydia & Zonte. Cool as F***

Kat

July 10, 2010

Wow, hello beautiful people! Lydia & Zonte may well be one of the coolest couples I've seen in ages. Lydia is South Korean (and must be a model I swear!) and Zonte is a dancer. They live in Kansas City, Missouri but are getting married in South Korea on August 7th. I seriously can't wait to see this wedding - if these engagement shots are anything to go by it's going to be one cool ass wedding! Do I have the coolest readers or WHAT!?!?! (be sure to also check out Zonte dancing in the awesome/cute/funny little video after the 'jump'.)

Vintage, Eclectic & Fun – Your Style, Your Way

Kat

July 9, 2010

I love a good promotional photo shoot (we all know that don't we!) I think they are not only really good fun, but really amazing tools to showcase what you really can do - and therefore hopefully get the clients that you want. Ohio photographer Nikita Gross decided to set up this shoot to show the world what she loves to shoot - kick ass, alternative couples of course! The 'bride' Ashley, who owns Pinnokios Salon in Northside, did her own hair and makeup. . She and her 'groom' Jeremy raided their own closets for these vintage and one-off pieces and the results are just so fun and eclectic. Jeremy's American Apparel boots and vintage jacket are particularly sexy! I love.

A Multicultural Marvel

Kat

July 7, 2010

Kate & Kevin are an American/English couple who had their engagement shoot with French photographer Anissa Rahali in Brussels! The pair are getting married this month in Philadelphia, and judging by these shots their wedding is going to be very Rock n Roll and very very cool!

Primrose Hill Pretty

Kat

July 7, 2010

Olivia & Mark's pretty and quirky London engagement session makes my heart sing! The pair actually said that they found the Primrose Hill location (where they live) a little twee so their photographer Lisa made a real effort to find some none puke-worthy spots including a cool graffiti wall ( "I was a bit 'been-there-done-that' until I saw it, if graffiti could ever be vintage, this might be it. Mostly heart themed with a chalky quality, I LIKE!" Lisa explained) a Banksy mural, the front door of Gwen (Stefani) & Gavin and Jamie (Oliver) & Jules' houses (shh!) the canal and the top of the hill.

Pinkness & Tattoos

Kat

June 25, 2010

"I thought you might like Sophie & Jonny's engagement shoot" Marianne Taylor wrote, "as there is pinkness and tattoos involved." Well looks like she was right! Oh yes I do like. The shoot took place in Green Park and Marylebone, London. The couple are getting married in September in a 1950's, burlesque and black & white bash and I'm pretty sure I'm going to love that too. I can't wait to feature it already!

The Great Outdoors

Kat

June 25, 2010

Sean & Nicola love the great outdoors so that's exactly where they headed for their engagement shoot. A local country park provided the perfect setting for this sweet, fun and romantic photo shoot. Afterwards the couple got dressed up and headed back to the city for some hilarious photo booth style shots - these are my favourites!
