Photographer Michelle met recent bride Jesikuh through a mutual friend. Jesikuh had always wanted to do a trash the dress/bridal shoot as she and her husband Chris didn't have professional photographs taken at their wedding and - in fact she didn't even have her own wedding dress! Luckily a good friend was happy to give her their dress to do what she wanted with it for the shoot.Read more...

I saw red tulle, I saw black feathers and I was smitten. Photographer Shannon Grant set up this wonderfully Rock n Roll shoot with Mary & Matt to showcase some fun DIY styling with a Victorian Nouveau edge. "The bride's outfit was a DIY affair with a custom made tulle skirt, a black silk dupioni flower sash and different colored ostrich hair feathers," she explained. "The bouquet included feathers throughout as well. The groom wore black Chucks and had red accents to mirror the bride. We went out into downtown Plymouth MA and had some fun with the photoshoot!"Read more...

Issy's 'Love your Dress' shoot took place in Raphael Park, Gidea Park in Essex. Her dress was by designer Ugo Zaldi and her hairband was actually found at BHS! Issy has a love of the 1960's and has a really classic look from that era with her cute pixie crop hair, so the whole styling of the shoot, from Issy's dress to the props, was set around this vibe.Read more...

I've got a bit of a triple hitter for you today - a feature in 3 parts. I was sent some images by Jonathan Canlas that he took at one of his world renowned photography workshops entitled Film is Not Dead, which was held last month in San Diego. He sent over shots of 3 equally gorgeous and totally Rock n Roll couples so I'm going to feature them all. Here we go with couple number one - Stacey & Chris.Read more...

When photographer Nick Tucker sent me just one shot from this amazing shoot, I demanded straight away to see the rest. I had a sneaking suspicion that they would be awesome...and when it comes to things like this it would appear that I'm always right! The shoot was set up by Nick and Luella's Boudoir (fabulous vintage wedding boutique in Wimbledon, London) to showcase the dresses of one of the shop's favourite and most unique designers,Lisa Redman. I actually fell in love with a Lisa Redman dress myself when I saw some of her creations on the catwalk at Luella's Boudoir bridal event earlier this year (remember this gorgeous sparkly dress?) so I literally jumped at the chance to share these with you.Read more...

If you're a regular reader of Rock n Roll Bride I'm sure you'll already be aware of the amazing Emma Case (she shot the image that I'm currently using as my blog header/my 'Punk Rock n Roll Bride' shoot) and Lucy Ledger Designs. Lucy makes gorgeously creative vintage-inspired stationary (I've also been lucky enough to feature her before as well as meet her in actual real life!) After Lucy saw Emma's work on Rock n Roll Bride she got in touch asking if they could get together to do a promotional shoot for her vintage stationary company. Hello!? Match made in vintage Rock n Roll heaven or what!?Read more...

This ccccrazy couple had a pretty mad wedding followed by an equally (in fact maybe more so) insane trash the dress style shoot. Alongside their photographers, Steph & Ryan wanted to show that the assumptions that some couple's have about trash the dress aren't necessarily true and trash the dress shoots don't literally have to mean your dress is completely destroyed. However by not be afraid of getting the dress a little bit dirty, you really can end up with some totally unique images. I wanted to share a selection from both the couple's wedding and photo shoot as I know both sets of photos bring a huge smile to your face! I love these two!Read more...

This fabulous shoot was set up to promote the Rock n Roll wedding planners, DandyLion Events and their new alternative bridal sessions. "A dandyBride is independent, interesting and fearless. she knows what she likes and her wedding reflects that! she wants people to know who she is instead of hiding behind traditional conventions" they say.Read more...

This awesome shoot was put together for Little White Dress bridal boutique in Bakersfield, CA. I love that a bridal shop went for such a retro rockabilly look for their promotion. "I really wanted to do an out of the box bridal shoot in a retro cigarette style ad reminiscent of the old Winston \ Lucky strike ads" photographer Jeb told me. "Our model Rebecca Lotze has such a unique classical look that we picked her for this shoot not only because of her gorgeous look, but because of the genius she brought to the shoot. We collaborated with another designer, Brandon Smith of B-Love clothing, and came up with the "Trust No Man" shot."Read more...

Photographer Amanda and her model Cathy wanted to style a shoot that didn't in anyway reflect the usual bridal look. They wanted to explore how using what the bride loves can and should shape her bridal look and not the preconceived ideas portrayed by the wedding industry. "The inspiration for this shoot was Cathy and all the things she loves" explained Amanda. "She has very eclectic tastes and is a collector of beautiful things. Both of the dresses were vintage pieces that she has picked up over the years along with the jewellery and jackets. Cathy also loves Vivienne Westwood hence her hair colour and the shoes.Read more...

This goth bride inspired shoot was actually a promo shoot for singer Heidi Flemons. The shoot was held at Lake Texhoma, Texas and she wore a stunning dress from Gothic Wedding Dresses. The shoot has such a spooky yet serene feel..in fact like nothing I've ever seen before. The setting is just utter gothic perfection!Read more...

Do you remember Megan & Kevin's 'Oh so adorable' engagement session that I posted last Autumn? Well when their photographer Erica heard that Megan was going to have a short wedding dress she couldn't wait to do a bridal shoot with her too. They originally planned to have the session in a chocolate factory bur at the last minute decided to an historic firehouse in Springfield, Missouri. Megan put together and styled the shoot herself with a dress from Delia's (which isn't going to be her actual wedding day dress - she's got another short dress to wear too though!) flowers that she put together herself, a cute birdcage veil from PinMeUpCouture on Etsy and Mootsie's Tootsies shoes from Ebay which only cost her about $20!Read more...

I am also crazy in love with her cute short birdcage veil and her Modern Trousseau gown.Read more...

Andrew & Talitha were married last year but were keen to do something a little different and have fun doing another photo shoot. "After many emails with Talitha, I knew she and Andrew would be perfect for a fun fair shoot we had been dying to make happen" photographer Angie told me. "We wanted a certain look – 50’s inspired hair and makeup and I knew we had to have a lollipop bouquet and lollipop buttonholes for Andrew."Read more...
