An Outrageous Punk Rock Engagement Sesh.

July 27, 2010 in British Brides, Engagement by Kat | 8 comments

Woo! Another true Rock n Roll Bride couple. Rachel & Dale wanted a really punk rock engagement shoot complete with heavy make up (for both of them) outrageous hair and vintage clothes, and after they saw Shelly of Toast of Leeds featured on Rock n Roll Bride they knew she was the lady for the job!

Be sure to check out the video after the ‘jump’ too!

The couple are getting married at the Kirkstall Abbey Ruins in Leeds – at night – with dry ice and super theatrical lighting to boost…hello? Doesn’t that sound AMAZING!

ps I’ve decided I need to come up with a cute name for my true Rock n Roll Brides – you know, you guys who find all your awesome wedding inspiration and suppliers on the site. Answers on a virtual postcard (ie in the comment section) please!

Huge thanks to Shelly and everyone involved in this shoot for sharing these today.

    How about ‘rockets/rockettes’ – as most of the people on here do have a wee bit of the space cadet about them (in the nicest most complimentary way possible!) It’s what makes the weddings and engagement shoots so rock n roll and out there!

    This day was Big Fun! Rachel & Dale are so adorable together. They totally rock and I had a blast filming them.

    Thanks to everyone! H.x.

    PS – Hmmm, hows about “Rock-a-babies” or “Rock-a-phants” or “Kat’s Radicals”?

    Wow, …just wow! This looks COOL with C.O.O.L. all in block capitals!
    Shelly and Hel, well done to you both.

    …oh and a name idea… how about “Bridemazing(s)”, “Rock’n'markable(s)”, or simply… “Kat’s pajamas” (lol ;-)
