Bridezilla Bootcamp: A Wedding Cinematography Workshop & A Shout Out for a Real Life Couple to Model

January 30, 2012 in Events, Green Room | 7 comments

Today’s post had a dual purpose. Firstly to announce that my good friend (and filmmaker extraordinaire!) Richard of FX Films and WedFilm Academy is teaming up with the guys at Reel Vision and Jeff Wood Visuals to put on a day long workshop for aspiring wedding filmmakers. On 27th March, they’ll be descending on a beautiful Haythrop Park in Oxfordshire to put budding videographers through their paces at Bridezilla Bootcamp! Watch the video below for the full drill and what you can expect from the day…

The full day workshop is just £295 per person. For more info and to book your place simply click here.

Secondly, I’ve been tasked with finding them a real couple to model for their video shoot portion of the day. Wouldn’t it be awesome to send them a kick ass Rock n Roll couple? I think so! You’ll need to be available on the 27th March and be able to get yourself to Oxford, and in return you’ll have a seriously fun day as well as receiving a copy of a beautiful video of the two of you to keep (which, by the way, I’ll probably feature on Rock n Roll Bride too if I’m allowed). If you’re already married but didn’t have a wedding film made, I think this would be an awesome excuse to dress up in your wedding outfits again and get a free video!

Being a Professional Wedding Photographer is Easy

My buddy Tattybojangles tweeted this last week and I just had to add an extra Green Room post today to share it too. Who says being a professional wedding photographer is hard? They obviously haven’t seen these!*

Hearts, Love & DIY Heaven: Sarah & Gray

January 9, 2012 in British Brides, Wedding | 52 comments

When Sarah saw the work of Sassy of Assassynation on Rock n Roll Bride, she knew she was the only wedding photographer for her. ”All of the photos I loved the most on the Rock n Roll Bride wedding blog seemed to have been taken by Sassy so I took the plunge and sent an email,” Sarah explained. “We had an engagement shoot in September and instantly knew we had made the right choice (you can see it on Sarah’s own blog here). Sassy suggested bringing Frank along too to film our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The two of them were a dream to work with and felt more like guests.”

Sarah married Gray in November at Crockwell Farm. The bride wore a custom made Stella Lilliana gown to which she added a cute heart felt brooch to the back, and customised Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon Heart shoes (she wanted the red hearted version that are no longer available so bought a pair of fakes from eBay and replaced the orignally peach hearts on her genuine Viv’s – genius!)

Most of the wedding was DIY and the whole thing was planned in just 6 months! “It actually seemed like ages at first until we realised how much DIY we had to do!” Sarah laughed. “We spent many evenings making flowers.  We made everything we could ourselves from our Save the Dates to the actual invitations, it was a team effort with Gray putting in just as much work as me.”

Their DIY projects also included jam jars with the couple’s names and wedding date on, paper flowers (“about a zillion of them!”) for the tables and bouquets, felt heart brooches for all the guests in place of corsages, the photo booth props, and pretty much everything else you see at the reception! It really was a labour of love.

“We wanted to do as much as possible ourselves,” Sarah concluded. “I am quite crafty and Gray is a wizz on photoshop so we wanted to add as many personal touches as possible and make our wedding a celebration of us as a couple.  We wanted a relaxed wedding with a party vibe which is exactly what we got.”

Don’t forget to watch the fabulous video too…

A Very London Wedding: Naomi & Chris

December 12, 2011 in British Brides, Wedding | 7 comments

I was hanging out at Fur Coat No Knickers a few weeks ago catching up on my vintage fashion/wedding industry-based gossip, when in breezed an excited girl who had just got married in one of their beautiful wedding dresses. Naomi had popped back in to show Laura & Emma some of her wedding photos and as soon as I heard the words ‘wedding photos’ I immediately jumped out from behind the dresses to have a nosy myself (Poor Naomi, I must have given her a heart attack…turns out she was a regular reader of this little wedding blog throughout her planning!)

Anyway I loved the photos Naomi showed us on her phone, so when I received the submission from her photographer Sarah Lauren I was thrilled that I would be able to share them with you too!

Naomi married Chris in London on 1st October. After getting ready at the gorgeous Charlotte Street Hotel, Naomi and her bridal party hopped in a London black cab to Islington town hall for the ceremony. Following the marriage service, the newlyweds and their guests all jumped into a red London bus, which they hired from Routemaster Hire, and headed to 6 Fitzroy Square for their beautiful reception.

“October 1st was freakishly one of the hottest days of the year. The atmosphere in Fitzrovia was animated with London nightlife,” Naomi told me, “We tried to keep our wedding theme fun-loving, relaxed and really styled to our personalities; we had moustaches on sticks for the wedding guests to play with. We also gave them fortune–teller fish as favours. I handmade the cake toppers and Chris stayed true to his comic book roots and wore crazy Spiderman cufflinks which I bought him!”

“We love our hometown London and there was a definite London theme throughout with the Routemaster bus, the central venues and the cosmopolitan wedding party. Even though it was a very London-esque wedding, we had family and friends visiting from the USA, Australia and even the Scottish Highlands! We felt so flattered that our guests travel from far and wide to witness our special day.”

“6 Fitzroy Square is literally down the road from the Charlotte Street Hotel where we were staying, so after the evening do at Fitzroy Square we thought it would be lovely to take a walk with close friends (those hardcore few!) back to the hotel for a chilled out drinks after-party. We stayed up til past 3.30am!”

The couple also had Frank Miller of Sassy n Frank to video their day…
