No, you haven't gone all Marty McFly and been transported back 24 hours, I really am posting Thursday Treats on a Friday this week. It's because I've been at Carly and Tom's three-day house party wedding in Somerset since Tuesday so there was no time for internet browsing or link compiling!Read more...

Last week I spoke at and attended Way Up North, Europe’s first major summit for wedding photographers in Stockholm, Sweden. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done, but also one of the most incredible.Read more...

Happy Thursday babes! I hope you've all had a fabulous week, even if the weather has been as shithouse around your parts as it has been around mine. It's definitely Autumn now huh!?Read more...

Summer is most definitely over, and while I'm not one of those people that gets super excited for 'Fall' (I think pumpkin spiced anything is gross) I am looking forward to being able to wear layers and for rocking dark, dark lipstick on a daily basis to be acceptable again!Read more...

I hope you've all had a fabulous week. Have you managed to nab yourself a copy of Rock n Roll Bride magazine yet? It's been SO EXCITING seeing all your posts on Instagram, it makes me so incredibly happy, I can't even tell you. As you read this I'll be boarding my flight to San Francisco where I'm heading for the penultimate Blogcademy worksho this weekend. I'm then off to New York for the last ever class (sob!) but not before stopping off in Orlando for a celebratory blow out at Disneyworld! I've never been and I'm super, duper excited. Has anyone got any tips for me? I've heard it's as big as some American cities and my brain just can't comprehend that scale!Read more...

The week has been all about the two M's... magazines and models! We took delivery of 1000 copies of the magazine and Gareth has been packing and preparing them for shipping out to those that pre-ordered early next week! While our living room might resemble a warehouse right now (boxes, magazines and pink envelopes as far as the eye can see!) I am still soooo excited about it! The mag officially goes on sale NEXT THURSDAY (3rd) so if you'd prefer to pop down to your local WHSmiths to pick up your copy you can do so then!Read more...

It feels like the few weeks before Christmas to me right now. I can't even tell you how excited I am for issue 4 to hit the shelves and how much it's killing me to keep what the magazine looks like a secret. I'll be sharing the cover really soon, I promise! I know to you guys it might not seem any different to the previous three issues but for us its been a whole different ball game.Read more...

Hello! I've just popped up from my editing hole to say "Yay its Thursday Treats time!" The next issue of the magazine goes to print in a few days so I'm currently locked down and getting serious on checking proofs, dotting i's, crossing t's and making sure it's as perfect as it possibly can be. WISH ME LUCK!Read more...

Don't worry I haven't booked in for a nose job... I'm talking about giving Rock n Roll Bride a facelift! The blog has had the same logo and branding for over five years now, and with the magazine taking off like it is I felt it was high time for for a spot of TLC. Shauna and I have been going back and forth on some ideas and believe me when I say it is looking utterly incredible! Watch out wedding magazine world, Rock n Roll Bride is coming for ya!Read more...

Helping my sister plan her wedding is taking over my life! OK, I'm totally kidding, but I have thrown myself wholeheartedly into the process. The first port of call has been finding a suitable venue, and goodness isn't that bit hard? We've been looking high and low for somewhere to host a festival style wedding around Berkshire/ Oxfordshire that doesn't cost the earth and isn't already booked up for next Summer and it's proving tricky, but we'll get there! I found the whole venue finding thing the hardest part of planning our wedding so I guess nothing's changed there. If you too are having a venue search nightmare, I feel your pain!Read more...

Guess who I hung out with this week?! The amazing Harnaam Kaur aka the Bearded Dame aka the flower beard bridal lady aka my new best bad ass friend! After I featured her shoot and I realised she lived in Slough, which is literally 20 minutes from where I live in Reading, I emailed her almost demanding that we meet for coffee. Well, that quick coffee turned into a four hour gossip sesh, shopping marathon and lunch date! Now only is she hella inspiring -- I could listen to her talk for hours -- but she's totally hilarious, humble and just flat out lovely!Read more...

London to Marrakesh to Rome to Florence. It's been a busy few weeks of fun and adventure and even though our luggage got lost on the way back to London and I still don't have it back (grr!) I couldn't have had a better time if I tried! If you've been considering Morocco or Italy as honeymoon destinations you have to do it. I'll be sharing all my top tips, including where we stayed, shopped, ate and visited, for both places really soon.Read more...

A few months ago I was invited to talk at the first Way Up North photography conference in Sweden. I'm travelling there in October to speak to a theatre of 500 wedding photographers and I am quite frankly bricking it! So when organisers Cole and Jakob asked if I had some time to do an interview with them to accompany the event, I thought, "Well, it can't be scarier than doing the actual conference can it?" Erm... I might have been wrong.Read more...

Oh hasn't it been a glorious week!? I don't know about where you are but the sun has really been shining down on the south of England. It's felt so good to be able to soak up some much needed some vitamin D (even if it is mostly through my office window!)Read more...

This week was a big one in the British wedding industry. It was time for The White Gallery and London Bridal Fashion Week, two events that run simultaneously in the capital. Bridal fashion week is the same as 'normal' fashion week really; designers exhibit their new collections to the press and boutiques so we know what to talk about/ stock for the coming season!Read more...

Goodness, I can't believe we have less than a month to go until the next Blogcademy workshop! This time we're hitting up London, which are always secretly my favourite classes. Not only because it's my home turf and we hold them in the most beautiful space ever, but because the European babes always totally BRING IT with their energy and enthusiasm! We currently have less than five tickets remaining for this class, and after this we won't be back in the UK until at least this time next year, so if you've been umming and ahhing, go on, take the plunge! I promise you won't regret it!Read more...
