Ruffled

Kat

October 28, 2009

You lucky lucky things, I have a couple of ridiculously gorgeous ruffled dresses to share with you today, starting with this yellow beauty. Photographer Apryl deemed Rock n Roll Bride worthy of being the first blog to share her work...like, ever. How awesome is that? Oh...and how awesome are these?! The dress, a Clifton Wilhite original found at Junkadoodle was a bit of a mess when they found it, however Apryl and her team, including Katie (who played model for the day) & Sally from Revolution Gardenwho supplied the masquerade masks cleaned it up and rocked out to get these amazing shots. Truly inspiring! Thanks to Apryl for sharing these. I can not wait to see more from you in future!

Grand & Unusual

Happy Monday my lovelies. Being away from my computer for 2 days means I have a hell of a lot of stuff to now catch up on (good for you!) including announcing the finalists for the Love Me Do Photography contest - check back later today to check them out and vote for your favourites to win! Starting off the week in style is this stunning red haired bride. The shoot took place in a funeral home of all places (her father works there) but the setting certainly made for a rather grand and unusual backdrop. Yummy indeed. Thanks to Maria for shipping these over to me. Love love love... Credit: Squaresville Studios

Slurpee Bride

Kat

October 17, 2009

Is it just me or doe s Rachel look a lot like the gorgeous Anna Friel?! Off topic slightly but I just had to thrown that out there. The idea for this shoot came from the bride herself. She had always been a huge fan of Tori Amos and so told photographer Duston Todd that around the time that her idol got married, and in reference to her song 'Jackie's Strength', she was quoted to have said "There’s one side of me that could very easily have ended up at the 7-Eleven sitting outside drinking a Slurpee in my wedding dress and just missing the whole thing. And then there’s the other one that did make it to the church. So, this song is about the one that drank the Slurpee. She’s still out there somewhere.” So that's what they did - they shot outside a 7-Eleven with a slurpee. Cute and elegant all at the same time. Thanks to Duston for sending these over. Le swoon.

Uber Trendy

Kat

October 13, 2009

Oh swoon swoon swoon swoon swoon! Indianapolis photographer Stacy Ablesent this a-a-amazing bridal session which took place on Mass Avenue which is apparently an uber trendy and super duper artsy street. The shoot was actually for Beth Bennett who is the owner/creator/designer behind BTrousseau (to check out her etsy store!) Thanks to Stacy for sending in these little beauts!

Edgy Moody Glamour

Kat

September 23, 2009

Jessica & Greg wanted a trash the dress stylee anniversary shoot and alongside their photographers, came up with the idea of the moody, edgy feel complete with Jessica in this stunning sparkly black dress. The mood here is just perfect - slightly gothic but ever so glamorous. Thank you to Amber for sending these in. Swoooonfest. Credit: Raw Photo Design

Neo Realism

Kat

September 18, 2009

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!

Green Goddess

September 13, 2009

Photographer Brandi finally gave me the go ahead to share Amy's stunning bridal shoot as the couple are getting married today.Amy looks radiant in her green dress and matching make up - I can't wait to see the results from the wedding and her (now) Husband's reaction to her in this stunning gown! Thanks to Brandi for sharing these... Mwwwah! Credit: Brandi Thompson Photography

A Model Shoot

Kat

September 9, 2009

This is yet another shoot I have been dying to share for ages. Rock n Roll Bride fave, Trigger Happy Tara showed me a sneak peak of these a few weeks ago and me being as impatient as ever I have literally been chomping at the bit to get these up for you all! This shoot was actually part of a mass shoot-out, an event where a bunch of local photographers (in this case Jacksonville) get together to shoot some models and exchange tips and tricks. I love this model and Tara's interpretation of the scene so much because she has given what could have been such a traditional shoot a completely offbeat and rock n roll twist! The Model's dress was Alvina Valenta (style #9700) and her veil was by Lori London (style #VM95). Kudos to Tara. Love these! Credit: Trigger Happy Tara

Stylish Bridals

Angela may have a seemingly classic and traditional look but she certainly has an edge that I love...yeah it's the tattoos, you know I love it! Thanks to Mariel for these Credit: Mariel Reyes Photography

A Bit Of Edge

Kat

September 5, 2009

This glamorous shoot certainly has the rock n roll edge that I adore. From her Pnina Tornai dress to her glitter ball ring and long pearl necklaces (from Forever 21), sparkly eyeshadow, fabulous flower and birdcage veil hairpieces and that slightly odd but decidely awesome flower arrangement (put together by Apotheca Flower Shoppe) I certainly love a bit of edge with my bridal shoots.

Avant-Garde

Kat

September 3, 2009

Texan born, UK based photographer Tami Curtis has a style like no one else I've seen. The techniques used give each image a distressed feel like they literally are images from the 1920's but with a real avant-garde feel. This style of photography wouldn't be everyone's choice for their wedding album but it's a style I can't help but be drawn to. Be sure to take the time to check out Tami's blog, Pulp Fiction, for more vintage gorgeousness! Thanks to Tami for sending me Eve's gorgeous bridal session Credit: Tami Curtis/Jane's Attic

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

The Tiny Bride

Kat

August 30, 2009

I literally adore photographer Sarah Pukin's way of wording these images. I really can not compete. Enjoy this and enjoy these gorgeous images! The Tiny Bride. Once upon a time there was a girl who met a boy. The boy was in a band - when he saw the girl his heart grew and he knew she was the one. The girl gazed up at him and thought “could this be love at first sight?” As the boy came closer the girl reached her hand out - as he grabbed it they both knew that they were soul mates. They fell deeply in love. As time passed the boy and the girl got married and here are a few pages of their story. Thanks Sarah. You rock! Credit: Sarah Pukin Photography

Thrift Store Find

Kat

August 25, 2009

A few months ago, photographer Jennifer Williams' sister found this gorgeous vintage dress in a thrift store for $10. Being the helpful sibling that she is, she knew it would be perfect for a photoshoot and so bought it right away. Jen wnt on to tell me the whole story: The minute I saw it I couldn't wait to plan a shoot centered around it! I couldn't get those old images of Bonnie and Clyde out of my head from the old 1967 movie. Most of my inspiration was centered around that, although I mixed and matched decades into my own take on vintage fashion. Then I found out we had permission to shoot at this salvage yard and the shoot became this beautiful classy take on grunge. As weird as it sounds, that is the best way I can describe it.

Water Baby

Kat

August 18, 2009

As trash the dress goes, it doesn't get much better than getting in some water and thrashing about in your gown. Yes, it's been done and we've seen it all before but who cares? You'll have a hell lot of fun and get some awesome photographs to boot! Thanks to the ever so gorgeous Tab for sharing this session. Mwah! Credit: Tab McCausland

Vintage Vegas

Kat

August 18, 2009

I've never been to Vegas and I'm not all together convinced I'd like the craziness, but when I see images like these I know it can't be just one big city of sin. According to photographer Maria Mack, Las Vegas doesn't have to be all bright lights, strippers, gambling and bachelor parties. These beautiful, retro shots show Vegas in a much softer light, - one with cute heart signs and quirky vintage touches. Oh yes, this is a Vegas I could get on board with... Thanks to Maria for showing me the diversity of a Las Vegas photo shoot!

August 16, 2009

Happy snoozy Sunday to you all! I have a distinct lack of a day filled with snooze myself as I plan to share some gorgeous and rockin' trash the dress sessions with you (and knowing me probably more!) I'm going to start with the hot shoot sent in by the very lovely Jeffery Chan of I Cherish You, a photographer from Toronto. The location of the shoot is pretty awesome huh? The shoot took place in the abandoned Kodak building which is now apparantly a very popular shoot zone for local photographers. Thanks to Jeffery for sharing these with me! Credit: I Cherish You

Multi-Coloured Tresses

Kat

August 12, 2009

My life as a blogger is a pretty damn busy one. I'm not just saying this for effect, but I get sent so much amazing stuff to post everyday that I almost can't keep up! The next post of this early Wednesday morning ( have no clue why I'm up so early, I even drank a whole bottle of wine last night) belongs to one of my brand spanking new sponsors, Stacy Able. As soon as I saw this set I knew she not only had to send it to me for posting but she had to make it the image for her new sponsor link. The multicoloured tresses, the splattered paint, the cute dog...oh yeah baby my sponsors are the bestest. Credit: Stacy Able
