What’s not to love about this shoot? Alex & Kaori’s downtown LA engagement session was the perfect expression of who they are as a couple – lovers of LA and fashion (they are both designers.) I will never stop loving the Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon shoes (I have them in yellow & black) and Alex’s fabulous red & white checked shirt and black bow tie combo. In fact this pair have got to be some serious fashion inspiration to at least a few of you!
Photographer Kelly Moore always sends me the coolest stuff and Claira, her model, is not your typical bride. The bridal session took place a few weeks ago in Shreveport, LA and Claira looked every bit the vintage princess and like she had just stepped out of a different era. She wore her grandmothers wedding dress which I am loving when teamed with her brown, brogue-like shoes.
Megan & Marcelo met at a punk rock bar in Hollywood… so naturally their wedding would have elements of rock too. The day took place at the ube cool Marvimon in LA with the beautiful flowers being put together by Holly Flora. The bride wore a short hip wedding dress by Amsale and shoes by Gwen Stafani’s label, L.A.M.B. The groom looked similarly hot to rock in his skull themed accessories. All the music was hand picked and complimented by the couple’s favourite videos projected all night behind the dance floor. It felt like The Rolling Stones, Bowie, Devo, Love and Rockets and Nick Cave all attended the bash as well! The guests kept saying was that this wedding was just soooo Megan & Marcelo…and that is one the best compliments a couple can get.
I love Megan & Brodie. I loved them as soon as I featured their Rock n Roll engagements a few months ago. So when Alica of In the Now Weddings & Events emailed me to share this kick ass wedding she’d helped to organise my first thought was “Hey, I know them!”
When Megan & Brodie decided to get married, they knew they wanted it to feel homey and old fashioned, with a little rock and roll thrown in. They decided to have the ceremony and reception at the uber trendy Marvimon House, an awesome sustainable loft space in downtown Los Angeles.
The pair are both vegan and we wanted to have a 100% vegan wedding. They served a delicious, locally grown, vegan buffet, Megan made 150 cupcakes and 8 dozen cookies and their friend (and maid of honor) homebrewed all of the beer! Â

Meg Perotti described this shoot to me as ‘James Bond-esque’ and I have to agree – what a gorgeous couple. Erin & Steve are almost too gorgeous in fact! 007 would be proud.
The Marvimon in LA has become rather an iconic venue to me over this past year. I have never failed to adore every wedding I’m sent that has taken place within it’s walls. Sabrina & Kevin’s is no different. The day started as a somewhat traditional western affair – she: a bundle of radiance in her pastel palette and Claire Pettibone gown and he: the perfect accompaniment to his bride. The bridesmaids looked stunning and the flowers (supplied La Partie Events) were out of this world gorgeous. The whole day exudes rustic glamour. Come nightfall, Sabrina changed into a Kimono for the festivities and family party.
Kimberly’s vintage dress (from Timeless Vixen) is adorable for a number of reasons, but I especially love how it is an absolutely perfect match to Anthony’s way too cool authentic vintage cowboy tuxedo and shirt! In fact the whole wedding was based around his very special outfit – who says it’s all about the Bride?
Thanks to the gorgeous Noa for sharing…

Clair and Paul decided they would love to do their engagement session in the neighborhood right around their apartment, where they shared so many days and countless memories together. Then, alongside their photographer, Adrienne Gunde, theyput together a list of other places that meant a lot to them as a couple to act as the backdrops to their session.
Oh how cute they are…

I am loving this Bridal/Trash the Dress shoot by San Diego photographer Beki Dawn, not least because she said nice things about Rock n Roll Bride in her email to me (hehe I am fickle, you can defiantly flatter me to get your way!)
But also because I am all about the brightly coloured images (recently I have been much preferring colour to black & white photography, although years ago it used to be the other way round…interesting) Beki has the brightly coloured and textured images down to a T!
Loving your work!
(oh and loving the Bride’s shoes..I love shoes..it’s just a shame I can’t wear them myself for more than about 10 minutes before wishing I’d worn flats)

Hello and welcome to my little blog. My name is Kat Williams aka the Rock n Roll Bride and my aim is to provide a little haven of kick ass weddingness in the overly poofy, pastel and often puke-worthy wedding world. If you’ve ever picked up a bridal magazine and felt queasy, or trawled the internet and felt disheartened by what you didn’t find, well my friend you are in the right place! ♥
