Best of Blogs – Issue 4 ~ MangoRED

Kat

January 10, 2010

It doesn't get tired seeing your name in real-life print! I am loving writing my monthly article for Photo Pro Magazine and being able to share some of my favourite photographers with the world. This month I not only shared a magazine with Katie Price who is on the front cover (she's a big deal here in the UK - unfortunately!) but I was able to write about the amazing MangoRED. Long term readers of Rock n Roll Bride will know how fanatical I am about Ryan & Randall's work. I love them! Ok...so, without further ado let's get on with this show...

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

2009 – The Year That Was {Part Two}

Kat

December 31, 2009

The Cimbo Limbo posts continue with part deux of the grand review of 2009. Brace yourselves for the July to December extravaganza people! ♥ Jenny & Johnny were way to stylish and way to cool to exclude from this list. If I had a face like hers I'd certainly be rocking the girl-hawk hair do. A Ring bearing ninja, the motorbike portraits and the tattoo-inspired

2009 – The Year That Was {Part One}

Kat

December 30, 2009

As is customary at this time of year, I wanted to take some time to look back over the last 12 months and share with you some of my most favourite weddings, photo shoots and features. I think you'll be hard pushed to not find something that makes you go 'ooooh' amongstthis lot. Enjoy a-reminiscing! I'll be back tomorrow with part 2 (there's too much to narrow it down to just one post!) I'm also taking this slow blog-time (I like to refer to it as 'Crimbo Limbo' (!) to ponder my ideas and plans for Rock n Roll Bride in 2010. I'll try and share my musings for the year ahead with you soon and would love for you to let me know what you think. It's all about you dear reader after all...

Ridiculous Splendor

Kat

December 21, 2009

The MangoRED boys have done it again. My mind is blown. How is a shoot like this even possible!? I LOVE IT! The bed shots in particular are like an actual dream sequence. Behold their beauty and ridiculous splendor! Ryan & Randall...what can I say. You rock my friggin' world. Thanks so much for sharing these with us today

Hitting you Sideways

Kat

December 17, 2009

Omar & Laarni's ridiculously awesome engagement session was shot using a Mamiya RB67 Polaroid Back Camera by the genius brothers that are MangoRED. Now I may be obsessed with beautiful photography, but most technical jargon totally passes me by. Yet I thought it necessary to include that information with this post, as I'm sure, if you're anything like me, these will I literally stop you in your tracks as they hit you sideways with their awesomeness. LE . SWOON . Thanks to Randall & Ryan for just being so damn cool Credit: MangoRED

Retro Loving

Kat

December 8, 2009

I've been sent yet another amazing, vintage inspired masterpiece from The Philippines. Ninya & Kevin are a quirky and fun couple, especially Ninya who loves all things retro. She wore her Mum's white dress, shoes and swimsuit for the shoot which took place at a secluded beach in Cebu. Thanks to Paul for sharing this gorgeous couple

Moulin Rouge

Kat

December 6, 2009

Zarah & Dan had a wonderful french bohemian themed engagement session at the Moulin Rouge in Paris. The elegant, glamorous and sexy vibe of these completely excite me. Totally fabulous no? Thanks to Zarah, Dan and photographer Rene for sharing these

Make Love Not War

Len & Orj's hippy chic psychedelic engagement shoot makes me happieeee. I also must say a huge thank you to this couple who put their photographer Joey Boquiren in touch with me. I am so excited to have discovered his amazing work. B.E.A.uuutiful! Thanks to Len, Orj and of course Joey for sharing these

Shipwrecked

Kat

November 25, 2009

I couldn't very well have a day of posting about The Philippines and not include MangoRED now could I? I've got part two of Jason & Lloyda's ridiculous engagement session - ridiculous in a good way you understand! High fashion eat your heart out! The props used here put everyone else to shame don't they? Hello! They used an actual paper boat for their shipwrecked senario. Thanks Ryan & Randall! Credit: MangoRED

An Engagement Session on Steriods

Kat

November 25, 2009

Part two of today's love for The Philippines comes in the form of these stunning images sent by Jeffroger Kho. Arthur & Sheilan are one seriously cool couple and I am nuts about that purple dress! Jeffroger described this session as 'an engagement session on steriods' and I certainly have to agree. It's not everyday a photographer shoots a couple in a spooky, abandoned house that looks like it belongs on an Asian horror movie set or on a windswept beach standing in a box and wrapped in clingfilm! These shots seriously wouldn't look out of place in Vogue and I am smitten. Thanks to Jeffroger for thinking of me and knowing how much I'd love these when he sent them over!

Elegant & Quirky

Kat

November 25, 2009

I'm having a bit of a Philippines love fest today because as many of you will know I seem to adore everything that comes out of that country. The photographic style is so elegant yet so quirky, so fashion-let but so personal. Love love love. I'm starting off with newbie photographer Joey Boquiren who sent me Filmore & Margaux' engagement session...now tell me I'm wrong! Super stylish yet super sweet and personal right? Faaabulous Thanks to Joey for sharing these

A Mystical Fairytale

Kat

November 7, 2009

Anyone that has been reading Rock n Roll Bride for some time now will know that I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the MangoRED boys. The brothers from The Philippines never fail to blow me away with the ingenious eye behind on every shoot or wedding they capture. I literally have no words... Ryan & Randall, as always, I am forever in your blogging debt! Credit: MangoRED

Beautiful Beach

Kat

Plucked From a Love Story

Kat

October 27, 2009

I actually can't get enough of Josephine Sicad's photography. Not only does each frame have that darling vintage tone to it, but every image just oooozes love...like you can tell how much she adores her work from the photographs alone...does that make sense or am I rambling again? The images also have that 'cinematic quality that I've always adored, like the boys of MangoRED before her, Josephine's image appear as if they could have been plucked right from a movie about a love story. Go check out her Facebook Fan Page for more more more of this set! Thanks again to the ever lovely and wonderful Josephine for sharing these with me...I may be your new biggest fan!

Lover’s Day Out

Kat

October 24, 2009

The gorgeous and ever lovely Josephine Sicad sent these over to me yesterday telling me the story of the engagement session of Yvon & Moyo. Remember her own engagement session that I featured a while back - Nobody Can Be Uncheered by a Balloon? (her own words) Well this one is just as glorious! The idea was 'A Lover's Day' a day in the life so to speak. I literally drooled as I checked these out. You will too! Thanks to the amazing Josephine for sending these over. It is always a joy to receive a n over excitable email from you! Credit: Josephine Sicad Photography

Kat

This couple braved wind, rain and various costume changes to get these awesome shots with their photographer Pat Dy. it goes without saying that the results are breathtaking and not just because of the intense scenery. Thanks to Pat for winging these all the way from The Philippines to share with me Credit: Pat Dy Photography

Top 20 Rock n Roll Weddings… Part 2!

Kat

September 25, 2009

So it turns out you all loved the top 20 huh? Well I did too and to be honest it was really blooming difficult to narrow it down to just 20...fancy seeing 20 more then? I've only featured weddings that are older than about 4 months (past 50 pages in - there are well over 100 pages of old posts on this site...oh yes!) because otherwise I would have been here forever. Again, let me know what you think!
