Colourful Wedding with a Bouncy Castle, Pub Quiz & Quidditch Match!

Sophie Cooke

October 1, 2019

Ali and Robin built their entire June wedding day around their loves and interests, and more than anything - they wanted to bring people together to have fun. They day was heavily influenced by film and music with popcorn on seats for guests and a playlist of their favourite film scores before the ceremony. Their tables were named after locations in their favourite films, which they then included in a question in the pub quiz they hosted before dinner.

Colourful Woodland Wedding with Dominos and the Notorious B.I.G

Ellie Kime

Emma + Rich

October 18, 2018

Katy and Mark are my new best friends. No, but in all seriousness, their wedding looks like SO MUCH FUN and I think you're going to fall in love with them instantly. With a loose theme of colour and fun, a focus on it being a carbfest (we're talking fish and chips for and then Dominos later on) and eclectic and wonderful decor, it's a super beautiful and inspiring day by all accounts.

Colourful, Communal & Environmentally-Friendly Wedding in a Woodland

Ellie Kime

Solen

June 4, 2018

Rea and Rhi's colourful woodland wedding is not only beautiful to look at, it's a totally feelgood day too. Their inspiration for the day was about community, with everyone coming together to support them and celebrate their connection. There's a beautiful communal spirit that oozes out of these photos. And with a colour scheme that extended to 'hot pink, yolk yellow, orange, salmon and purple', it was also all things bright and beautiful!

An 80’s Inspired Squash, Après Ski, Vogue & Nylon Magazine Engagement Shoot!

Kat

March 16, 2010

Not looking for the traditional engagement session, Melissa & Colin went to Rhys Albrecht for an original concept...and he came up a treat! "I pitched 2 ideas to them." Rhys explained "First, an 80's inspired squash court shoot with knee socks, headbands and short shorts. Second, and this is a direct quote from my initial pitch to them, "a modern twist on the classic après-ski look. I'm picturing ski boots, tights, long johns, touqes, skis, parkas, etc. With bold colors. Like, if you could imagine Vogue merged with Nylon Magazine to do a "How to Glam Up Your Après-Ski" issue." And third, a more subdued winter look with slightly absurd accessories...like giant faux-fur hats"

Vagabond Lovers

Kat

January 7, 2010

Ryan & Cha Cha's engagement session blows everything else out of the water. An eclectic, colourful, hilarious, circus, wonderland styled shoot looks like absolute crazy fun. A sugarcane plantation in Northern Cebu was the perfect backdrop for our quirky theme of vagabond lovers. Hats, clown figurines, a colored umbrella, truck load of clothes, bicycles, and a purple teddy bear. Pure craziness in the middle of nowhere! A massive thanks to Jeff, Jon, and Gilby of Rock Paper Scissors Photography for sharing this awesome session with us Credit: Rock Paper Scissors Photography

Crazy in Love

Kat

December 16, 2009

A 'typical' engagement session this certainly is not. Axioo have gone and blown my mind again! Fun, flirty, hilarious, sexy, cool, crazy and quirky all in one shoot - you're going to go nuts for these. For Nico & Emil, together we came up with the craziest mix of ideas to show who they are. Each with a color of their own, but together they are truly one of a kind. Emil is gorgeous, when I first met her I really thought she's model or miss beauty queen. She's elegant, edgy and yet quirky...who would have thought she's a dentist. Nico is all out wacky, funny and full of expression. It's been a while since i know someone like Nico, he reminds me of Ivan our uber-hyper-creative photographer. Thanks to David for making me laugh today Credit: Axioo

We love Axioo at Rock n Roll Bride HQ...and apparently so do you. You've gone nuts over their darling and sweet videos and innovative and adorable photo shoots. I can't say I blame you, not with prettiness like this on show...and the giant Chanel bag pictures are almost too much to bear! The guys are traveling around the world over the next few months so be sure to get in touch if you want to be captured by them. You can see where they are going and when on their blog. Thanks David and the team for sharing as always! Credit: Axioo

Prop City

Kat

November 27, 2009

Funfairs may have been 'done' in terms of what the cool kids say is 'in' but who gives a monkey's about what they think? It's the same with balloons, candy floss and even sun flair...pah I say to that! The funfair is the perfect backdrop for an engagement shoot - fun, colourful, playful and prop city! I want a photo shoot in at a fun fair in fact. Any offers?! Can't get enough of this beautiful stuff? Well go check out Sandy & John's gallery right here Thanks to Shannon for sharing this adorably perfect session Credit: Shannon Nicole Smith

Naoko & Taejo's shoot is fit to bursting with colour and fun, who could ever been uncheered by jelly babies and balloons!? Thanks so much to Stephanie & Issac for sharing with me! Mwah...

Face Painting & Celebrating

Kat

September 13, 2009

When it comes to the topic of children atweddings there are usually two rival camps. The first op for a more grown up affair, favouring a lack of screaming kids throughout the vows whereas the other tends to embrace the screaming and go all out to make the children a big part of their day. Anna & Mike certain seem slap bang in the middle of the latter group. Their beach wedding was full to bursting with fun and games for the children, from elaborate face painting to making them a key part in their ceremony. Thanks to photographers Tiffany & Jared for sharing these day with us Credit: Style.ish

The Last Days Of Summer

Kat

August 29, 2009

As much as we hate to admit it, summer is coming to an end. When we hit September and the kids go back to school that's pretty much it right? Hell I had to write an article for a magazine (hehe shameless self promotion to follow soon!) about winter weddings last week for crying out loud! However with the nights drawing in, we can't deny that the light gets that little bit more beautiful and the evenings become that little bit more comfortable - so comfortable in fact that Rachel & Nate felt the need for a pillow fight! You gotta love these...
