Engagement

Laura & Colin at Salvation Mountain

Kat

January 4, 2011

I am seriously so in love with Laura & Colin. What an utterly gorgeous pair, with an utterly gorgeous e-sesh (although these shots were actually taken the day after their wedding) at Salvation Mountain. I've blogged about this amazing place before. The 'mountain' in the Californian desert is a 50 foot mountain, made totally of local adobe clay and paint. The 79 year old creator of this national treasure, Leonard, lives on site alone in his truck (!) and his piece of art has been a work in progress for over 20 years!

Amanda & Stu’s Multi-Coloured Balloon, Sphynx Cat-Loving, South-Bank Graffiti, Charlie Chaplin Look-a-Like Engagement

Kat

December 21, 2010

Amanda & Stu's gorgeous engagement session is special for two reasons. Not only did the couple find their photographer Shell de Mar on Rock n Roll Bride, but it's the groom that is the big Rock n Roll Bride fan. I love that I have (a few, carefully selected and super special) male readers who can see past all the pink and glitter and enjoy the wedding fabulousness. So it was Stu who excitedly told me all about their shoot with Shell. "We first came across Shell via an engagement shoot featured on Rock n Roll Bride. We loved the way she managed to capture colours, fun and love (all the important things in life!). After we got in contact with her, she asked us to provide a bit of info about us and, looking back at the emails I got verbal diarrhoea and listed of a whole heap of stuff. I mentioned our love of bright colours in everything (clothes, art, movies, music and animals. I mentioned our Sphynx cat (Uzume aka Zoomy – named after the Japanese goddess of joy and happiness) who we obviously wanted included in the photos as she’s part of the family! I mentioned that we got engaged in Venice; that Amanda makes colourful glass jewellery; that we ski… and the list carried on. Thankfully this didn’t scare Shell off and she seemed as enthusiastic as

Jenn & Mark’s Uber Cool New York E-Sesh

Kat

December 20, 2010

Jenn & Mark's New York engagement sesh. is pure Rock n Roll. This couple are just way too cool and I know their wedding will be killer - I'm looking forward to seeing it already! Jenn's passion is photography and Mark's passion is music - the perfect Rock n Roll union. The shoot took place around High Line Park and the Lower East Side - arguable some of the coolest areas in the city. This shoot makes me pine for a trip to NYC really soon...just check out that light! I'm hoping to go in 2011 with some girlfriends.

Elsie & Jeremy’s Cozy, Christmas Engagement

Stand by for part two of the engagement session to end all engagement sessions. This is the ultimate cute and the kind of session I would have loved to have! You will adore this...

Elsie & Jeremy’s Comic Book Love

December 10, 2010

I've got an engagement session in two parts for you today, two parts because you have to view Elsie & Jeremy's adorable comic book strip bit in the way it was intended. Just like this:

Faux Fur in Leopard Print – Gorgeous Glaswegian Vintage Engagement

Kat

December 1, 2010

It's the 1st of Decemeber, and what better way to start of this freezing month than a chilly but beautiful British engagement session? Everyone knows I am Emma Case's biggest fan, and engagement sessions like Debs & Richie's are the reason why. Quite apart from the trademark Emma Case gorgeousness, this couple are just too cool for words. Faux fur in leopard print, denim turn ups and helium balloons all make me smile.

Jennifer & Adam’s Tennessee Treat

Kat

November 18, 2010

I'm featuring less engagement sessions than I used to at the moment. Mainly because I'm getting so many awesome weddings to feature from you lot that I simply haven't got the time to share as many as I'd like. However, when I see a session like Jennifer & Adam's, I remember that rules are meant to be broken! The pair chose the location for their shoot because it was the very place that Cas Walker originally broadcast Dolly Parton on the radio - and I'm reliably informed that this is a big deal in Tennessee, maybe like The Beatles here in the UK!?

Jennifer & Dave’s Heavily Tattooed, Utterly Punk Rock Engagement Sesh.

November 11, 2010

I actually have no words...how awesome are Jennifer & Dave?! The tattoo shop owning groom and his punk rock bride got hitched in October so I hope to follow this up with their kick ass, heavily tattooed wedding asap!

Vintage Charm – A London Engagement

Kat

October 28, 2010

The inspiration for Caroline & Ian's engagement session was Caroline's gorgeous Vivien of Holloway dress. "'I'd worn it for my brother's wedding in California a couple of weeks before," Caroline explained. "It was such a wonderful outfit to wear that it was the obvious choice when I came to select an outfit for the shoot, and that set the whole style. I also wanted a deliberate contrast to the style of our wedding."

Brittney & Chris’ State Fair Engagement

Kat

October 27, 2010

Brittney & Chris' state fair engagement session is just to die for! How much do I adore her Betsey Johnson reception dress and sparkly Toms combo too? (answer: a lot!) The couple got married on 10.10.10 with a "funky Cinderella" theme and I can't wait to see the results can you?

Michael & Michelle’s “Up” Inspired Engagement Shoot

Kat

October 27, 2010

Michael & Michelle are huge fans of the Disney movie 'Up' and so wanted to style their engagement session around it. They actually say that they saw a lot of themselves in the main characters of the film, who met when they were children, fell in love and then got married. They handmade all the props themselves including 'My Adventure Book' which they filled with scenes from the film as well as significant photographs from their time together as a couple.

Cam & Candace’s Homespun Engagement Session

Kat

October 26, 2010

I'm posting less engagement shoots at the moment - not because I don't heart them, but because I literally have wedding submissions coming out of my ears! However I do still let a small number of e-sessions through, especially when they are as cute as Cam & Candace's. The shoot took place around the couple's home, in the neighborhood park and in an old building with a cool looking fire escape.

The Good Life – An English Countryside Engagement

Kat

October 15, 2010

Getting down n dirty at their allotment was the name of the game for Vonney, Tristan and Boo's (the dog) pre-wedding shoot. A reflection of how they live their lives on a daily basis, photographer Caroline was keen to bring this realism into their session.

Chihuahuas, Cupcakes & Cuddles

Kat

September 30, 2010

Angela, her fiance Luc and their two chihuahuas Minou & Birdie (there's no way we can ignore them!) had a beautiful session to celebrate their engagement. The couple, who will be marrying in Mexico next May, wanted a variety of shots from casual ones with the dogs to ones with ridiculous props and finally to a few on a golf course. "Because my sweetie loves golf we went to a golf course and tried to have a vintage feel to the pics... Don't know how much of a vintage feel we got but I don't care - I love them!" Angela told me."I love that our photographer got pics of my purple fluevogs and Luc's black sabbath converse. She even took pictures of a silly card Luc made for me while they waited for me to get home from work, and pictures of the dogs on the couch posing."

Emilia & Ville’s Vintage, Rockabilly & Pyschobilly Engagement

Kat

September 29, 2010

Australian photographer Gemma Clarke was lucky enough to find Emilia & Ville who wanted a retro/vintage style engagement shoot in Helsinki, Finland this July. The train yards in Pasila played host to their fabulous fashion-led shoot and the couple were really involved in the concept and styling of the whole thing.

Teen Vogue Inspired Engagement Shoot

Kat

September 23, 2010

This sweet and cute engagement session is something a bit different to what I often post. However I thought Krystle & Derek's Teen Vogue inspired shoot was the perfect way to show that you don't have to be all about tattoos, props and vintage picnics to be considered Rock n Roll! The couple, from Manila in the Philippines, styled their shoot themselves to have a 'mix n match' simple fashion-shoot theme. " We simply wanted our photos to look fun, flirty, fresh and alive with simple props" they told me.

Tattoos, Balloons & Underwater Love

Kat

September 22, 2010

When Mat & Kenzie's engagement session hit my inbox I was floored. Not only are the pair enviably stylish and gorgeous but they ended their shoot underwater! Every photo just gets better and better. This one will take some serious beating.

Paper People

Kat

September 17, 2010

Jesse & Susan's minimalist, stark paper & industrial themed engagement shoot makes me heart go a-flutter. Mainly because it's so different to anything I've seen before. It's almost avant garde in it's simplisticrandomness and I just adore it. "The paper people was something I had wanted to do for a really long time" photographer & creative genius Duston Todd told me. "It just took the right couple and timing. Luckily Susan is an award winning designer, made her own vintage wedding dress and was able to put her talents to good use and help create the life sized paper outfits. We started out stiff and clean with the paper, then the couple suggested to rough it up and have fun - and I feel that is where some of the best work came out."

Mr & Mrs Tattooboy

Kat

September 16, 2010

Could these two be any more made for Rock n Roll Bride (and each other!) if they tried?! Seeing their tattoos-a-plenty and whole lot of love makes me a very happy blogger indeed. "These two cool kids are totally rockin' with not only all of those tatts, but their playful spirits & genuine love for one another" photographer Christina told me. "But ohhhh hot damn, their rockin' tattoos are flat glorious!!!! We were in tattoo heaven when we met up with them. I think I felt a little drool on my shirt. haha. With Matt being a tattoo artist they even have a few matching ones that they did themselves. They're just too cute with their tom shoes & silly faces. We LOVE Kori & Matt! Their wedding is planned for this coming october and we can hardly wait, it's gonna rock!"

It’s Only Rock n Roll…

Kat

September 13, 2010

Musicians Diane & Mark wanted to do something different to the usual portrait session for their engagements. They brought along their beloved instruments and rocked the hell out! I'm also totally in love with the sheet music speech bubbles, an awesome Rock n Roll take on the usual props.
