A Different Style

December 17, 2008 in British Brides, Our Wedding by Kat | 2 comments

Also at our wedding was my good friend David Mcneil – at that time just toying with the idea of getting into wedding photography…he took some pretty wicked snaps too, in a totally different style to our official wedding photographers. It was awesome to see the wedding in two completely different ways. Here are a select few of his amazing pictures..

Our Wedding

December 17, 2008 in British Brides, Our Wedding by Kat | 3 comments

The time has come..I’m going to start the huge job of attempting to rebuild the old blog. The posts will no doubt be briefer than before, as not only has the tempo and direction of Rock n Roll Bride moved on since these old posts but also it’s going to take hella long time – just the best of the best will make the new and improved Rock n Roll Bride!

Let’s start with the stuff surrounding our own wedding, back in April 2008 – shall I re-do the wedding report I wrote? If you want it I can re-post it as I managed to recover a lot of the text on the old blog. But right now I’ll just begin with some of our favourite photographs from the day taken by our fabulous wedding photographers English Rose Weddings.

Jon and Lucy’s Autumnal Wedding

December 16, 2008 in British Brides, Wedding by Kat | 2 comments

One of my oldest friends Jon got married in October to Lucy. It was a gorgeous autumn day full of laughter and fun. My good friend David M McNeil did the wedding photography and aren’t they fab!?

I have posted about David’s work many a-time (on the old site – sigh) but I will never tire of doing so, he constantly surprises me with his amazing talent and no two weddings he shoots ever turn out the same. I will endeavour to re-post some of David’s work asap as anyone who hasn’t seen it is surely missing out!

The wedding was a DIY affair, it was very important to the Bride and Groom that they did things the way they wanted not the way everybody told them to! They are both very eco-conscious and took this into account with everything they planned.

Melissa and Mark Do It In Style

November 17, 2008 in British Brides, Wedding by Kat | No comments

The Bride, Melissa sent me these exclusive wedding photos last week and I’ve been desperate to post them ever since..so here we go!

Melissa and Mark got married on 27 September at The Jerwood Space, a fabulous art gallery in a converted Victorian school just behind the South Bank in London, and as Mark paints in his spare time, plus the fact that they live in a converted Victorian schoolhouse (I’m so jealous) so it really was the most perfect venue for them.
Melissa’s family came over from Australia and her 4 year old niece was the adorable flower girl. Rather than bridesmaids, Melissa choose to have four ‘best girls’ – two of her oldest friends from school in Australia, who both live in London now; Mark’s sister Juliet, and her best friend Dani, whose husband Benjo was our best man. The girls were in different shades of pink dresses by Wtoo by Watters.
Mark wore a made-to-measure suit from Marc Wallace, and his fabulous shoes are ‘Melly’ brogues from Shipton & Henneage.
Melissa’s dress was from Caroline Castigliano, by Irish designer Sharon Hoey. The bride wore a veil for the ceremony, and changed into a fascinator after.
Melissa says:
Our fabulously talented photographers, Aga and Jason Williams, captured the emotion, fun and personality of the day; we are so thrilled with their work and I love how in some photos we look uber-edgy and in others we look romantically old-fashioned!

We did our first dance to ‘Fisherman’s Blues’ by The Waterboys, and named our tables after songs that meant a lot to us. We had ‘bowl food’ served for our evening guests, and a fabulous cupcake stand made by Crumbs & Doilies, whose stall at the Chelsea food market I visit regularly on a Saturday! Our guests travelled from all over the UK, as well as from Australia and the US. Quite simply, it was the best day of our lives.

And you know what the best part is (aside from being married to the most fantastic man in the world…)? We get to wear it all again, and have a whole other celebration, in my hometown of Dubbo, Australia, in March!
