September 2, 2013

When you're looking through a set of wedding photos on a blog, do you ever wish they'd never end? They're so beautiful/ crazy/ awesome/ cool (or all of the above) that you want to see more, more more?! Well that's exactly how I felt the whole way through viewing Jordan and Charley's incredibly stunning desert wedding. Held at Sacred Sands bed and breakfast, this celebration was intimate, carefree and beautiful and they had the photographs to match.

Dr Who Wedding Inspiration

This shoot is certainly going to appeal to all you Whovians out there. Come on then, tell me, who's having Dr Who influences in their wedding? "Ever since I became a fan of Doctor Who I’d wanted to do a styled shoot and combine it with one of my other favourite things in life: weddings, of course!" explained photographer Kat Forsyth. "I’d seen a couple of Who-themed shoots around, but I always felt that none of them got it quite right; they were either really pretty, floral and sparkly, or a little too much like a cheesy costume party. I was sure that by assembling a hand-picked team of Doctor Who geeks (read: experts), we could come up with a shoot that not only captured the quirky and fun aspect of the show, but also the atmosphere."

August 30, 2013

Fiona and David's Kent wedding was influenced by the style of the 1940s through to the 1960s. "I think the whole day was defined by it really being a reflection of us as a couple", Fiona said. "We really didn't want an identikit, faceless, corporate feel. Also, we wanted it to be as relaxed as possible. We didn't want anyone to stand on ceremony or feel uncomfortable. We just wanted all the people closest to us there and to eat, drink, dance and have a lot of fun."

The Vintage & Alternative Wedding Fair

Vintage has become a bit of a dirty word in the wedding world. It's been overdone more than any trend' I've ever known... and in many cases pretty badly. But vintage weddings as a concept are beautiful and some of the most creative and beautiful weddings that I've featured have fallen under that 'vintage' banner. In fact vintage weddings are not limited to pearls, lace and mismatched crockery - they can be so much more than that, the only limit is your imagination.can be so much more than that, the only limit is your imagination.

It's rare that I feature engagement shoots but when I saw Karlee and Justin's Game of Thrones shoot I knew I had to break my own rules. So needless to say I've been looking forward to seeing their actual wedding for a while and oh boy they certainly didn't disappoint. Again, designer Karlee hand made pretty much everything including both her dress. The wedding also had an unusual and very specific theme, 1913!

Kris Holland

August 27, 2013

I'm not really sure if any other words could bring as much joy to me as 'gold', 'neon' and 'unicorn', which is why I pretty much leapt off my chair when I saw them decorating my inbox. Wedding photographer Kris Holland sure does know how to push my buttons! Leilani and Jeremy were married in July. Their ceremony was held outside, in Galena Creek, Reno to be exact, and their DIY reception was in Jeremy's grandparent's back garden.

Who the Hell Goes to Austin in August? The Blogcademy of Course!

August 26, 2013

When I suggested the idea of doing a Blogcademy in Austin in August Gala and Shauna looked at me like I'd gone totally mad. " You know it will be utterly boiling down there then? It's practically on the Equator!" they replied. "Ahh ya wimps, how hot can it really be?" I responded. Well more fool me because when we stepped off the plane last week and were greeted with 40°C+ temperatures, I'm finally understood what living the sun must feel like.

Casual Barn Wedding: Kate & Dan

Kat

Joanna Brown

August 26, 2013

Kate and Dan wanted a big celebration for their May wedding, but one that was also relaxed for their guests and a lot of fun. They wanted to involve them in the day as much as possible and not only had their guests bring cakes instead of gifts, which were eaten instead of a traditional wedding cake, but sent everyone a little packets of seeds with their invitations, asking them to grow the flowers and bring them along on the day. The crappy weather in the run up to the wedding meant that a lot of the flowers didn't grow very much but everyone still valiantly brought along their little seedlings to show the couple and to display at the wedding. Don't you just utterly love that idea?!

Jesse and Charlie live in a hut on the banks of a river with no electricity, sing in a band, home made pretty much everything and only wear charity shop or home made clothes - so her idea was perfect for them!

Thursday Treats: Jet Lag is a Drag

August 22, 2013

Austin was a short but eventful trip. We may have only been in the city for a few days, with two of them being hauled up in a warehouse space with no windows (it was beautiful though!) teaching The Blogcademy, but we still certainly made the most of our time there. We strolled down South Congress, ate extreme ice creams, walked for miles to get our B balloons filled with helium (in 40ºC heat - fun!) and ate more delicious Mexican food then can be considered healthy (although, PS just say no to queso!)

The view from Rent Patina's rooftop was incredible. The Manhattan skyline stretched before us looking just as inviting as ever. When ever I arrive in New York, no matter how exhausted I am from the flight, I get a whole new wave of excited energy as soon as I see that view - the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building... what's not to love?

Retro Cartoon Wedding: Daisy & Leigh

Tux and Tales

August 20, 2013

Daisy and Leigh's retro wedding themed came about because they knew they wanted anything but a traditional day. "We decided to go down the retro/ vintage theme, but I also didn't want it to be the typical ‘vintage’ wedding style that is everywhere at the moment!" Daisy wrote. "I also didn't want a traditional sit-down meal so we had afternoon tea complete with cocktails served in teapots. The wedding eventually became about all of the things we love from the 1950s to the 1990s! I wanted our wedding to be really unpretentious and for everyone to have lots of fun."
