Lisa & Tyrone’s Windy Wedding

Kat

September 28, 2010

Lisa & Tyrone got married on the South Coast of Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa. Their bridesmaid and photographer, Jacki Bruniquel, told me the whole story. "Their wedding was a day of such love and celebration. Lis not just my sister she is one of my best friends and Ty is not just my brother in law he has been in the best friend category for long time now. Tyrone happens to be a really good photographer as well! I love them both to absolute bits and pieces and really wish i could just do their whole day all over again."

A South African, Eclectic, Red-Infused Spectacular

Kat

June 7, 2010

I didn't plan today's post this way but when I was uploading all the images for the weddings I selected I realised we're going to be taking a little trip all around the world - starting with this amazing red themed wedding from South Africa! Philip & Jay's wedding took place at Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa, overlooking the spectacular South African landscape. The location made for some really unusual and fun places for their portraits. The incredible decor was all organised by Andene of Aleit Wedding Planners who was able to perfectly capture their vision of a eclectic, red-infused spectacular! I am totally nuts about those red glasses hanging from the roof and the ornate chandelier lying on the table - just amazing and so so original!

Sweethearts in South Africa

April 16, 2010

This is my second South African post within so many days and I'm pretty sure you're gonna dig this one just as much as the last. The lovely Laura actually found photographer Kat Forsyth through a post on Rock n Roll Bride so this session is even a little extra special to me. The Australian bride-to-be will be marrying her South African sweetheart Gustav (who she met in the UK - boy are these guys travelled!) back in Australia later this year and judging from the coolness of this engagement session, I just know their wedding is going to be Rock n Roll Bride worthy!

Dance Like No One’s Watching

I have to say there is something about Danie & Ilene's wonderful wedding that makes me totally and completely happy...I can see why Ilene wore ballet shoes - she must have been spinning around all day with joy! The wedding took place at the sunny South African venue of South Hill. Ilene wore a Robyn Roberts dress with her ballet shoes and looked everybit the ballerina princess.

Blue Dress Brides

March 15, 2010

What happens when a South African photographers and dress designer get together to set up an Rock n Roll bridal shoot...? This, that's what! Blue and grey are such a great colours on brides - a bit more quirky than white, a bit more unique than red. If you're a blue or grey dress bride be sure to send me your wedding pictures! Yum...

Rustic Diy Details

I was blown away by Carla & Neetling's South African wedding, in particular the phenomenal DIYvintagey, natural details and her beautiful dress. Carla and her Mum did most of the wedding themselves and loved personalising all the details.

Retrospective

Kat

October 15, 2009

Newlywed's Bianca & Sean got married in Cape Town (where they have now lived for 10 years) at a gorgeous restaurant called Pure at Hout Bay Manor. The wedding was based on a vintage/retrospective theme. The Bridesmaids all chose their own sleek black dresses and the boys wore skinny ties and sharp black suits. Bianca looked every bit the vintage princess in a custom made silver satin and lace wedding gown made by local couturier Cindy Bam and a vintage 1920s hat and veil.

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!

Glam Rock

Kat

September 8, 2009

Aww pretty pretty sparkle dress! Faith sure looks rock n roll glam on her wedding day back in April! It's not only the dress that I love - her faux tats are super cute and the peacock feathers instead of a traditional floral bouquet are of course stunning. Her one of a kind, custom dress was designed and made by Marelize from Gingered in South Africa. The gown was based on Jenny Packham's Papillon dress, but being in South Africa getting hold of the origianl proved too difficult so Faith decided to get her own version made. Marelize even spent over 45 hours hand sewing on all the beads on the bodice - wow...Glam rock on! Thanks to Faith for not only sending me her images but for sharing all this fab info - a true Rock n Roll Bride!

For The Love

I'm pretty sure that Gwen & Joel are secretly models because no regular couple are this adorably photogenic right? I can't really say what it is I love about these - because it's everything! Thanks to the wonderful Lizelle for sharing these with me Credit: Lizelle Lotter Photography

Gold.

The graffiti, the black balloons, the derelict and slightly scary looking abandoned buildings - pure rock n roll gold. Thanks to Kat for sharing! Credit: Kat Forsyth Photography

Picture Perfect

Kat

August 4, 2009

Don't these guys look great together!? I'm not one to make any big statement about the 'multi-racial' coupling of these two, becauseclearly it's a non-issue, but what I do love is how picture-perfect they are as a pair - his dark skin next to hers really makes the photographs come alive and gives the images an added depth somehow. Ahh love! Be sure to head over here to check out their wedding too. Credit: Christine Meintjes
