Thursday Treats: Aaand I’m off!

Kat

September 10, 2015

I hope you've all had a fabulous week. Have you managed to nab yourself a copy of Rock n Roll Bride magazine yet? It's been SO EXCITING seeing all your posts on Instagram, it makes me so incredibly happy, I can't even tell you. As you read this I'll be boarding my flight to San Francisco where I'm heading for the penultimate Blogcademy worksho this weekend. I'm then off to New York for the last ever class (sob!) but not before stopping off in Orlando for a celebratory blow out at Disneyworld! I've never been and I'm super, duper excited. Has anyone got any tips for me? I've heard it's as big as some American cities and my brain just can't comprehend that scale!

August 27, 2015

The week has been all about the two M's... magazines and models! We took delivery of 1000 copies of the magazine and Gareth has been packing and preparing them for shipping out to those that pre-ordered early next week! While our living room might resemble a warehouse right now (boxes, magazines and pink envelopes as far as the eye can see!) I am still soooo excited about it! The mag officially goes on sale NEXT THURSDAY (3rd) so if you'd prefer to pop down to your local WHSmiths to pick up your copy you can do so then!

Thursday Treats: Going in for Surgery

Kat

July 30, 2015

Don't worry I haven't booked in for a nose job... I'm talking about giving Rock n Roll Bride a facelift! The blog has had the same logo and branding for over five years now, and with the magazine taking off like it is I felt it was high time for for a spot of TLC. Shauna and I have been going back and forth on some ideas and believe me when I say it is looking utterly incredible! Watch out wedding magazine world, Rock n Roll Bride is coming for ya!

Thursday Treats: I’m a Rock n Roll Bride Because…

July 16, 2015

Helping my sister plan her wedding is taking over my life! OK, I'm totally kidding, but I have thrown myself wholeheartedly into the process. The first port of call has been finding a suitable venue, and goodness isn't that bit hard? We've been looking high and low for somewhere to host a festival style wedding around Berkshire/ Oxfordshire that doesn't cost the earth and isn't already booked up for next Summer and it's proving tricky, but we'll get there! I found the whole venue finding thing the hardest part of planning our wedding so I guess nothing's changed there. If you too are having a venue search nightmare, I feel your pain!

Thursday Treats: The Bearded Bad Ass

Kat

July 9, 2015

Guess who I hung out with this week?! The amazing Harnaam Kaur aka the Bearded Dame aka the flower beard bridal lady aka my new best bad ass friend! After I featured her shoot and I realised she lived in Slough, which is literally 20 minutes from where I live in Reading, I emailed her almost demanding that we meet for coffee. Well, that quick coffee turned into a four hour gossip sesh, shopping marathon and lunch date! Now only is she hella inspiring -- I could listen to her talk for hours -- but she's totally hilarious, humble and just flat out lovely!

London to Marrakesh to Rome to Florence. It's been a busy few weeks of fun and adventure and even though our luggage got lost on the way back to London and I still don't have it back (grr!) I couldn't have had a better time if I tried! If you've been considering Morocco or Italy as honeymoon destinations you have to do it. I'll be sharing all my top tips, including where we stayed, shopped, ate and visited, for both places really soon.

Thursday Treats: The Most Honest Interview Of My Life

Kat

June 4, 2015

A few months ago I was invited to talk at the first Way Up North photography conference in Sweden. I'm travelling there in October to speak to a theatre of 500 wedding photographers and I am quite frankly bricking it! So when organisers Cole and Jakob asked if I had some time to do an interview with them to accompany the event, I thought, "Well, it can't be scarier than doing the actual conference can it?" Erm... I might have been wrong.

Thursday Treats: Discounts A-Plenty for Rock n Roll Brides!

Kat

May 14, 2015

Goodness, I can't believe we have less than a month to go until the next Blogcademy workshop! This time we're hitting up London, which are always secretly my favourite classes. Not only because it's my home turf and we hold them in the most beautiful space ever, but because the European babes always totally BRING IT with their energy and enthusiasm! We currently have less than five tickets remaining for this class, and after this we won't be back in the UK until at least this time next year, so if you've been umming and ahhing, go on, take the plunge! I promise you won't regret it!
