Patience and Bethany chose The Ripped Bodice, a bookshop in LA, as their unique wedding venue. The venue had never hosted a wedding before, which was precisely why they loved it. This wasn’t the only unconventional aspect of their day. From the lack of a theme or specific colour palette to swapping a DJ and dancing for board games, the celebration was all about what Patience and Bethany truly wanted.

Luxury Vampire Themed Inclusive Wedding Shoot

The Rose Reflective

December 11, 2024

I recently saw a Thread where the poster pointed out that luxury wedding workshop shoots often exclude marginalised couples or those with tattoos, piercings, or other alternative styles. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how accurate that is! As you know, I’m all about celebrating alternative shoots and weddings (obviously!), but just because someone doesn’t appear to be straight, white, or fit a certain body ideal doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the luxury end of the wedding market.

Hello and welcome to the year 2024, where anyone with even a fractionally-open mind will throw their arms up and rejoice in the knowledge that any two consenting adults can tie the knot, regardless of their race, gender or religious beliefs. In this rainbow-obsessed issue, we feel it would be remiss of us not to take a moment to raise our LGBTQIA+ Pride flags high above our heads, and shriek at the very top of our lungs, that here at Rock n Roll Bride magazine… LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOOOOVE.

When Kira and McKinna set their sights on Joshua Tree for their wedding, they knew they wanted something as eclectic and dynamic as their relationship. “Joshua Tree is a gorgeous place, and it’s also very eclectic,” Kira says. “We wanted our guests to experience both sides of this, so we selected Indian Cove Amphitheater for our ceremony and a private music and art venue called FurstWurld for the reception. Both places are special to us as climbers, music lovers, and seasonal high desert dwellers.”

When asked to describe their wedding theme, Kaaren and Crispin said it was "A homage to first wave and post-wave venues and basement shows and vogue ball culture and queer art spaces." They drew inspiration from the DIY punk scenes, drag ballroom aesthetics, speakeasies and underground culture from the 1980s and 90’s gay liberation movement. They wanted their wedding to be a big celebration of their ancestors from the first wave of alternative and queer punk/rock music.
