UK based photographer Jodie Chapman sent me over this darling vintage wedding full to bursting with British loveliness. Isn't there just something about a British wedding? We may not have quite caught up with America on the 'cool' stakes but the cute, quirky side of our little isle is something that always puts a smile on my face.Read more...

I really do love sharing weddings from the UK. Southampton based Az sent me Julia & Simon's quintessentially vintage English wedding and I just love it. The personal touches like the individually personalised beer bottles and the vintage finds such as the tea sets which the couple spent months scouring charity shops for all made their day perfect. Thanks so much to Az for sending these in. I look forward to seeing much more of you in future! Credit: Lemontree PhotographyRead more...

I'm taking a break from less pretty stuff to share this gorgeous session by Cathy Empey. Cathy attended a photography workshop held by Jessica Claire and took these a-a-amazing images whist she was there. The details are of course fabulous (check out that super duper cute newspaper decorated cake & cake topper!) but her perspective is what really drew me in to these...stunning. The vitals: Event & Photo Stylist: Grey Likes Weddings Floral Design: Flora Organica Hair & Makeup: Vivian Tran of All Made Up Wedding Stationary, Favors, and Paper Suite: MaeMae Paperie Printing of paper products: Czar Press Fabric Rosettes, shoe clips, and “just married” banner over cake: B. Poetic Cake: Cheryl Stewart of Cake My Day Thanks to Cathy for sending these my way! Credit: Cathy Empey PhotographerRead more...

Evita & Micheal had a very uniquely styled wedding and 'day after shoot' (which actually took place 4 months after the wedding but who's counting?) The whole glorious wedding is featured in the Fall issue of Weddings Unveiled Magazine (and will be on their blog, Completely Unveiled, later this week) but I was over the moon when Evita asked if I would like to share their American Gothic style photo shoot too. I fell in love with the fashion. Her fabulous dress, made from a slightly altered vintage Vogue Pattern (8416) with silk from Clarence House even had a matching corset which she wore underneath! Her feather hat was from Frock of Ages and those amazing customised shoes by Andrew Geller, originally from Stefan's Vintage Clothing and quite frankly to die for. Evita explained: I had them resoled at Peter & Sons in South Windermere shopping center. Insoles and toe embellishments done by me. Sterling acorn brooches were purchased on eBay. Swarovski hot fix rhinestones are olivine Thanks to Evita & Michael for sharing their shoot and details with us. I can not wait to see the whole wedding in Weddings Unveiled Magazine soon!

I have a very excited week ahead of me (all will be revealed soon!) but I've just got time to share this beautiful film (shot in the UK) sent to me by reader Andy. It has such a gorgeous vintage 70's vibe and I just adore it! Soak it up baby...Credit: Matt JacksonRead more...

Ok so I was going to attempt to wait until mid nest week for the blogging of these little beauties but hell, I'm waaay too impatient. Ermm...wow. My mind is officially blown. Photographer and rock n roll sponsor, Katja Mukhina sent me these the other day after I saw a sneak peek on her flickr stream and begged her to send the rest to me as soon as they were ready! This 'Love Story' shoot was shot and conceived without the use of photo shop. The images behind the couple are all rear projections - super vintage Hollywood cinema stylee. I can not get over these....lordy lord they are so beeeautiful. Dear all my American readers... Katja will be travelling to The States In October and staying until November. She would love to shoot some American couples in this time and I know you would love to be immortalised so glamorously. So what are you waiting for? Drop her an email already! Thank you Katja...eeeek wonderful! Credit: Katja MukhinaRead more...

Oh how I adore Sloan Photographers. I really really do. I say that a lot and about a lot of people but come on...these are way too amazing for words! As soon as I saw Tiphany & Jamie's wedding I was right on to getting these bad boys featured on Rock n Roll Bride. Lucky for me (and you!) the guys were ever so happy to oblige and here we have it. What I love the most is that the bride in in yellow Converse! No uncomfortable shoes for her. If this isn't rock n roll then quite frankly I don't know what is. ps Word on the street is that Matt & Angie have just shot an engagement shoot with a fuschia haired bride. Eeek I can't wait to see those! Thanks guys for sharing these. You are the best! Credit: Sloan PhotographersRead more...

Boudoir shoots are certainly becoming more and more the norm nowadays. They are almost part of the package now - engagement shoot, boudoir shoot, bridal shoot, wedding day, day after shoot... Warning the photographs after the jump contain nudity and may not be safe for work! However Noa of Feather Love Photography has decided that boudoir shoots, although fabulous, need to be shook up somewhat. Gone are the overly sexy, satin undies and over the top 'gamour' poses and in their place...well what you see here. A celebration of the female form with a real retro, 1970's vibe...I love. Thanks Noa. I love these! Credit: Feather Love PhotographyRead more...

As you may have noticed I've tweeked the layout of the posts slightly this week. Now, you'll just get one preview image for each article and if you want to see the rest you just need to click 'read the the rest of this entry'. The idea behind it is to not only make the front page look a lot cleaner, but it means the pages will load a lot faster. My hubby/web designer was trying to make me cut down on how many images I posted to compensate for the slow page load time - now that wasn't gonna happen was it!? Apart from that don't forget that the awesome TokyoMade contest is still open. You have until tomorrow to tell me which right if your favourite and why. Come on, you know you want it! That's all I really have to report around Rock n Roll Bride HQ right now..let's see what the rest of blog land has been up to this week shall we?Read more...

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 PhotographyRead more...

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 PhotographyRead more...

This make me happy. The photos are of course stunning, with their neo-realism kinda feel - the stark white backdrop and her pale skin vs the dark gothic lipstick is just beautiful. But what I really love is the vintage feeling video - just taken on a cheap video camera. The effect is magical. Thanks Michelle. Wonderful as always!Read more...

Thanks to Shannon for sharing these...love love love Credit: SNS PhotographyRead more...

This is going to sound more than a little bit weird but I almost don't want to blog these...because once I do it will be done and I will be sad that the anticipation, excitement and exhilaration (I'm a very dramatic person) I have been feeling leading up to posting these will be gone. Yes I am very strange... You might recognise Automne & Graham as one of the finalists in the Tinywater contest I ran a few months ago. As soon as I saw their entry I knew they were a completely awesome punk rock couple and that their wedding would be fab but OH. My. GOD nothing prepared me for this! I am so honoured and excited that the couple have chosen Rock n Roll Bride to be the lucky blog who gets to share their wedding and all the amazing details. Exclusives rock! I'm going to hand over to Automne to share all the details with you, and I'll be right back with the images...Read more...

After the immense Blog Land popularity (in fact bordering on obsession!) of Ben Blood's last wedding (the gorgeous treehouse affair) I was over the moon this morning when Ben sent me his newest triumph for an exclusive an first blog on Rock n Roll Bride! Karley & Scott had a beautiful vintage tea party style wedding complete with genuine vintage finds, a vintage style gown and beautiful yellow shoes. I'm sure you'll Ben gets pretty much exclusively amazing clients! A huge rock n roll thank you to the gorgeous Ben for sharing his phemononal work with us (ott? moi?!)
