What a Small World…

Kat

April 8, 2010

I love a shoot with a great story behind it...especially when it revolves around people I know! When bride-to-be Laura checked in on Rock n Roll Bride a few months ago she fell in love with the work of UK photographer, David McNeil. She promptly contacted him to arrange an engagement shoot in Brighton. Her fiance Nick and her turned up on the morning of the shoot, only to discover that unbeknownst to both of the boys, they already knew each other! David and Nick actually used to work together long before David tried his hand at wedding photography and Nick got engaged...but wait the tale gets stranger because when David sent me these images it turns out I used to work with Nick too! What a small world...

Super Sexy Hotel Room Day After Session

Kat

March 2, 2010

Jeremy & Teylir wanted a day after session with a difference and what's more unconventional than standing in front of a backdrop in your wedding attire? Well getting half naked and romping around a hotel room that's what!? After this steamy scene the pair headed out to a beautiful park to get some shots to treasure forever.

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

December 8, 2009

Angela & Anthony are a wonderful couple - not only did Angela send me the cutest email a while back (I featured it on my blog love page!) but she's just sent me their adorable engagement session to check out and I couldn't resist featuring it. It was that pink hearts and Jack Russell's that's did it for me! You're gonna love these!

Thursday Treats – 19th Nov 2009

Kat

November 19, 2009

Oooh what a set of tasty treats I have for you this week. As ever, I have been blown away with the joy that blog land and the internet has spread this week. First off an extra special mention to Naz of Oliver Rue who sent me a little delight in the post in the form of some 'rockstar' magnets and the most adorable handmade card which is now adoring my fridge. I can not express how happy this package made me. I was having a really stressful day and getting home to a parcel wrapped in leopard print really made my week! {lookie!}

Just Delicious

Amy & Lance are just awesome. Can you believe Amy actually made her hairpiece and shoes...and guess what? She runs her own Etsy store so you could even get something similar yourself. I am also a little bit obsessed with the red velvet sofa and the bright red apple....good enough to eat...literally! Thanks to Annabella for sending these over...just delicious Credit: Asian Bees Photography

Florence.

October 20, 2009

Oh the prettiness! Sean Flanigan is one of those photographers who I look at his work and think he's pretty unattainable for little Rock n Roll Bride. You know, one of those cool guys who always gets featured on the biggest and best wedding blogs. But low and behold, this morning I received an email from him asking if I wanted to be the one to feature his newest day after session - taken in Florence, Italy! I think my exact words were 'Errrm hell to the yes please!' Cool I know. Thanks to Sean for making me feel big and important and for sharing this beeeautiful images Credit: Sean Flanigan

London in the 60’s

Kat

September 20, 2009

Remember this aaamazing wedding at Shoreditch House in London? Well my lovely friend Liz (like, real life friend not just online - we've been out for cocktails and everything!) just sent me this wedding at the same venue that she shot with Nadia Swindell this weekend. You might recognise the bowling! How fab is that - I wish I'd found a wedding venue complete with bowling lanes. Does this wedding just scream London in the 60's or what? The amazing and cute, short vintage dress and handmade veil were from uber cool boutique Fur Coat No Knickers. Anyway you're gonna love these so... Thanks for sending these to me Liz and we really need to stop being so rubbish and find some time for that shoot we planned! Credit: Eliza Claire Photography

Childhood Sweethearts

Kat

September 20, 2009

I have been looking forward to seeing Hannah & Alex's wedding ever since I saw their school yard engagements and the bridal shoot to be used for their stag/hen/bachelor/ette parties invites. I first spoke to Hannah about 6 months ago when she forwarded me some of the work of her sister and photographer, Kelty and I have been nuts about it every since. I have been lucky enough to become good online friends with Kelty so I was over the moon when she sent me a sneak peek of the wedding photographs after the day.Credit: Steep Street Photography

Wai-Ching Bride

Kat

September 10, 2009

Evan & Angela's wedding was at the Inn at Laurel Point in Victoria, BC. They had an intimate event with just 20 or 30 guests within their own bridal penthouse suite with an antique/bird theme. They set up a typewriter to be used a vintage style guest book, birdcages around the room and old-time candy for goodie-bag favours. They are both photographers as well so there were antique cameras scattered about as well as lots of shots taken with Evan's old Polaroid Land Camera. Angela's veil was handmade by an artist in Portland, OR and her dress was designed by local Seattle designer Chrissy Wai-Ching. It's a pretty damn amazing dress huh?

Standing Out From The Crowd

Kat

July 22, 2009

What you'll probably first notice about this set (apart from the Bride's wicked tattoo and the wedding's cute daisy theme) is that the photography is a little different. Photographer Katie Malone uses a variety of techniques to make her work stand out from the crowd. First we have the Holga images, an inexpensive 'toy' camera that produces distorted and low-fidelity images. The effect is dramatic light leaks (the red intrusions) blurs and vignetting (the soft dark edged images). She accompanies this with the use of infra-red (in black and white and with complete colour washes) and TTV (Through the Viewfinder) images. The latter looks a little like a Polaroid and produce a vintage looking, square image with a dark black border. These techniques aren't for everyone, but I'm sure any Rock n Roll Bride can appreciate the originality and quirkiness of the result. Thanks to Katie for sharing...

The Wedding Tree

Kat

July 18, 2009

I am so over the moon to be the first blog to bring you this amazing wedding. Paul & Cassie's day really couldn't be anywhere but Rock n Roll Bride though surely? From her cute cute dress, to their kick ass tattoos - from the simply sweet ceremony site (just plastic chairs and autumnal leaves) to all the adorable personal touches (I am crazy in love with their thumb print wedding tree 'guest book'.) There is in fact nothing I don't love and I could go on with a big old list of everything I am swooning over right now. However it's probably better for me just to share the photographic joy oui? Thanks to the wonderful Jonas Peterson for the Rock n Roll Bride exclusive!

I Am Smitten.

Angelica Glass is one of those photographers that I wishI'd known about when we were planning our own wedding! Her style is so fresh and modern and she always makes her subjects look so flawless and model-like. Her attention to detail is beyond fabulous, there is something about the way she shoots these extreme close ups that just make everything pop! Well this post has turned into a bit of an Angelica love-fest right? What I was meaning to do was to share this new gorgeous wedding with you...the details from those sparkly blue Christian Louboutin shoes to the custom invitations, from the unique flowers to the Monique Lhuillier wearing Bride's awesome tattoos - everything is totally rock n roll fabulous, and the couple most definitely could be rock stars themselves! Oh... and the cake, and the Bridesmaid dresses, and the moustaches, and the Polaroid photo booth, and the fact the Bride is quite literally model-perfect... Smitten doesn't even cover it.
