It’s Finally Here! Issue 2 of Rock n Roll Bride Print Magazine Available Now!

It's here! It's finally here! To say creating issue 2 of Rock n Roll Bride Magazine has been a labour of love would be an understatement of epic proportions. When Gareth & I made the decision late last year to create a second edition of the magazine after the unanticipated appreciation over issue 1 (which was initially conceived to just be a free handout at a wedding show), not in a million years did we think it would take so long... and take so much out of us. Dear God, I have a new found respect for everyone who works in the print industry. I won't bore you with the trials and tribulations we've had along the way, but rest assured that magazines are hard work. But when 50-odd boxes of something we created were delivered to our house on Friday, it all suddenly felt worth it. I have never been so proud!

A Seaside Themed Wedding in St Ives: Suzy & Christian

Kat

July 20, 2012

When the deputy editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine gets married, you just know it's going to be awesome right? Well Suzy & her fiance Christian didn't disappoint when planning their summer wedding. Choosing St Ives, Cornwall as the location, what could be more apt than a seaside themed wedding?! "We met at journalism school in London in 1999 and were friends for five years before we eventually got together," began Suzy. "Even though we live in London (and I'm from Oxford), we never discussed getting married anywhere but St Ives. It's the place my dad's been to on holiday ever year since he was a baby - so the place I've been to on holiday every year too. It's the most beautiful seaside town with gorgeous cobbled streets and the most spectacular beaches. It feels magical and we wanted to share it with all our friends."

A Vegas Wedding in the Cosmopolitan Hotel Pop Up Chapel: Ashley & Jeremy

Kat

March 19, 2012

Ashley & Jeremy are wedding photographers so were in Las Vegas at the same time as I was for WPPI. After the Airplanes & Blazers party (which I was also at...!) Jeremy was sitting at a table with Patrick from StillMotion (while Ashley was off in the bathroom) and Jeremy was telling Patrick he would love to propose. Patrick encouraged him, telling him if he proposed and they got married while they were all still in Vegas, Patrick would shoot it! When Ashley returned, Patrick proposed, right there and then by saying "Will you marry me...on Wednesday?!" So just 36 hours later, they were married in the Pop Up Wedding Chapel at the Cosmopolitan Hotel with all of their best wedding photographer friends from WPPI watching.

Just a quickie to let say thank you to everyone that came to my first School of Rock (n Roll Bride)* yesterday. I had a great time talking to possibly the nicest bunch of girls (and one token guy - there's always one poor bloke at these things!) that I could have asked for for my first workshop. I'm now more excited than nervous for the next one! I'll have a few more photos to share with you soon, but here's one Shell took on her phone yesterday. This month I contradicted myself a bit by profiling someone who doesn't have her own blog but makes her business work without one. I wanted to show how Assassynation makes social media, in particular Facebook, work for her and her business.

Erm...ME! Wow, I feel like I should be doing an over-indulgent Oscar-worthy speech right now but I literally can't find the right words... So I'll just say thank you a million times. Thank you for voting for me, thank you for believing in Rock n Roll Bride, thank you for your support...you get the idea. Seriously, there are not enough thanks in the world.

So you're probably sick of hearing about The Designer Vintage Bridal Show (I have banged on about it somewhat) but I've just received the official show photographs from my bestie Emma Case and I wanted to share them soon as... I know some of you will want to see my tutu at least!

When Gareth & I came up with the idea of a Rock n Roll Bride Magazine to hand out at the Designer Vintage Bridal Show, we had no idea how crazy the internet would go for it!

Thursday Treats – 13th October 2011 + Rock n Roll Bride Magazine Madness

Kat

October 13, 2011

Last weekend I was exhibiting at The Designer Vintage Bridal Show. It was so exciting to meet so many of my readers and hurrah for you all being brave enough to come say hi! I think the Rock n Roll Bride Magazines may have helped... The buzz around the mags at the show was tangible. Everyone was asking us questions about it and wanting to get their mitts on a copy. Words can't express by enamor at seeing every person in the place walking around with a copy of the magazine! In fact many of you even tweeted me photos of you (or your pets!) with the magazine afterwards which made my day!

All will be properly revealed really soon, but needless to say I'm pretty darn excited about it. Could this be a Rock n Roll Bride Magazine? ...And a FREE one at that? If you want to find out exactly what's been going on then you'll need to come see me at the The Designer Vintage Bridal Show in Birmingham next weekend, where I'll be handing out copies of this new little venture of mine for absolutely nadda. Tickets for the show can be purchased online here.

So I found out last week that Marie Claire Australia are going to re-run my article that appeared in the July issue of the UK version of the mag. Wooo...Australia is like, BIG. I'm over the moon and so so thrilled that my Aussie readers will get the chance to see me in print. So thank you (again) to Marie Claire Magazine. I am beyond flattered that you've found me interesting enough to publish twice! I'll be sure to let you all know when the Australian edition is in the shops. So where else might you have spied my ugly mug this past month then?

A Day in the Life…At The Wedding Magazine Cover Shoot

Kat

April 27, 2011

So last week I was invited by Catherine Westwood, editor at Wedding Magazine, if I'd like to go hang out at a cover shoot with them. Ermmm... let me think about this for like two seconds...YES PLEASE! Before you go getting all excited, no I wasn't asked to model! It will probably be a cold day in hell before any wedding mag can have a pink haired chick on the cover. These publications have to appeal to the mass market and I feel that a neon-headed, inked bride might alienate a rather large proportion of their readership! I was up early last Thursday and on the train to London, excited and honoured to have been invited...even though a little (no, a lot) tired. I arrived at the shoot at 9.30 to be greeted by a familiar face in hairdresser Sev of The Hepburn Collection who had been invited to do the hair, and Julia Ford, art editor of the magazine. I also got to hang out with the rest of the team, many of whom I'd met briefly before at various wedding shows and events. Alison from Pollen Nation (who I worked with on The Big Fat Wedding Bloggers Photo Shoot) was even there to supply some of the gorgeous flowers.

I took a slightly different approach to this month's article in the new look Photo Pro (renamed Photo Professional) Magazine. I used the blogging example of my girls at Made u Look Photography but made the article more of a selection of tips and tricks to make your photography blog really stand out. Do you like the new magazine layout and my new style of article?

Recent Press – January 2011

January 29, 2011

Yep, 2011 is continuing to get better and better (my friend Gala is calling 2011, "two thousand and heaven" - I think that's quite accurate actually!) Here's a snippet of my press for the month of January. I've decided for future to just do a quick round up of my press on the last Saturday of every month as I want to save more blog space for all the awesome real-wedding I'm being sent! All magazines are available in the shops right now.
