A Quintessentially British Wedding on the Queen’s Birthday: Jess & Dan

Kat

June 14, 2012

Jess & Dan's wedding was quintessentially British with the theme carrying through from the attire to the cake to the DIY reception decor. Why the theme you ask? Well the wedding was held on the weekend of the Queen's birthday! The couple were married at Edes House, Sussex and had two reception venues, both of which were within the grounds of Chichester Cathedral. Their afternoon wedding breakfast was held at Vicars Hall and the evening party was at George Bell House.

Many of my readers head to Vegas to wed and so I know a whole bunch of you are going to get seriously excited about this. You're welcome by the way!

The Inspirations: Ruth Crilly of A Model Recommends

Kat

June 13, 2012

Ruth Crilly was always a model I was aware of. With her trademark teeth and her ridiculously luscious blonde hair, I'd seen and admired her on billboards and in magazines for a long time. I'd even watched her early foray into modelling on the Channel 4 series This Model life (which, if you're in the UK you can see watch on 4OD). So you can imagine my surprise when, at a cover shoot for Wedding Magazine last year, I walked in to see Ruth getting made up! I'm not going to lie, I was slightly intimidated to meet her but I need not have been. She's a truly LOVELY person as well (gaah don't you just hate that!?)

I have an usually girly shoot to share with you today, but despite my Rock n Roll credentials, I just can't resist an awesome pink ruffle - so sue me!

Button Moon, Moomins, Rainbow Petticoats and a Wedding in a Cave: Caroline & Johnny

Kat

June 12, 2012

When wedding photographer Sassy of Assassynation told me she'd booked a wedding through a feature on my site last year I was super thrilled. However my excitement was pretty much quadrupled when she them told me the bride was wearing a short dress... with a rainbow petticoat... with glittery turquoise leopard print wedges and ankle socks... oh yes and that they were getting married in a cave. I think died and went to wedding heaven right about then. Caroline & Johnny were married on a Monday, on the 14th May this year. The ceremony was small - just the two of them, the celebrant and Sassy and her husband Ian, who not only photographed the event but acted as witnesses. The ceremony was at Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall. "One fabulously weather proof venue!" the bride laughed. "Subterranean lake, 500 candles and really dangerous steps for the clumsiest bride. What could possibly go wrong?"

Marketing Your Wedding Business & How to Avoid Being a Spammer

Kat

June 12, 2012

It's difficult this self-promotion thing. On one hand you want to scream and shout about your latest venture, and on the other you're slightly paranoid and embarrassed about the whole ordeal (how frightfully British!) It's a fine line between forging a successful marketing campaign and coming across as an annoying spammer, and so today, dear reader, I thought I'd compile a few tips that I've picked up over the past few years. Of course this isn't a finite list, it is merely a collection of musings I've gathered together after being at the receiving end of one too many terrible marketing campaigns.

Rock and Roll Americana & Kitsch: Jennifer & Ryan

Kat

June 12, 2012

On a warm day in March, Jennifer & Ryan married in an Americana inspired wedding. "We have always had a bit of an obsession with America," the bride told me. "It all started after we first visited New York together five years ago and fell hard-and-fast in love with the people, the shopping, the bars, and the food (hello blueberry pancake stacks!) We had originally planned to get married in New York, but when we found out that not all of our guests would be able to make it across the pond we decided to bring a slice of New York to the wedding!"

Kat

June 11, 2012

It may be Summer in the UK right now but it's sure feeling a lot more like autumn at the moment. Where on Earth is the sunshine?! Well at least that means that some autumnal wedding inspiration won't feel totally out of place on the blog today - because I love this wedding and couldn't wait that long to share it!

Kat

June 11, 2012

With Ted proposing to Vicky at the Duke of York Picturehouse in Brighton, the wedding theme and location were pretty much a given. They are both huge movie buffs so it suited them perfectly.

Kat

June 9, 2012

Apologies, you're about to see a lot of photos of me & Gareth being soppy, silly and cute in New York... but I guess that's what happens when the Made U Look girls shoot you. It's neigh-on impossible to cut them down because they are all. so. good. This is by far both Gareth & my favourite shoots we've done together. n fact I will definitely be getting some many of these babies printed to plaster our house with.

Gothic Butterfly Inspiration

Kat

June 8, 2012

"Bridal shoots don't have to be boring!" We've heard this all before but it's even better to see shoots illustrating that point don't you think?! "I just loved this shoot", wedding photographer Kathryn Edwards told me of her shoot with Beth. "I wanted to give it a lonely isolated and fragile feel, with a dark edge."

Why Video is the Future for the Wedding Industry: A Guest Post by Victoria Grech

Kat

June 8, 2012

In January last year I made a somewhat controversial decision for a stills photographer – to venture over to the 'dark side'. Yes, I wanted to see what film was all about and how I could use it to improve my wedding photography business. I had heard a lot of hype about DSLR cameras being able to record HD video and that had piqued my interest. With the two technologies being used side by side, was I missing a trick by not learning how to use film alongside stills?

A Queensland Library Wedding: Shaun & Kate

Kat

June 8, 2012

The State Library of Queensland proved to be the perfect wedding venue for bookworms Shaun & Kate. "We chose the State Library as we both really loved the space and as Shaun and I met over text books it seemed appropriate", Kate told me. "We incorporated book, paper and typographical elements where we could but tried to not go overboard with the theme. I like a bit a kitsch but there was a strict anti baby's breath policy!"

Thursday Treats: 7th June 2012

Kat

June 7, 2012

Happy treatsday to you all! Firstly, I had an amazing time in Prague with La Carmina and Go with Oh (who sponsored the trip) last weekend. I'll be sharing more of our adventures soon but for now check out some of the amazing street art, architecture and general 'stuff' that I fell in love with while we were there. I became particularly obsessed with the pavements (bottom right). Nearly every one was a different pattern! Aren't they amazing? Many more photos and some video to follow...

An Eclectic, ‘Junk Shop’ Inspired Wedding: Penny & Martin

Kat

June 7, 2012

Being wedding photographers themselves, Penny & Martin must have felt a certain amount of pressure to have a wedding that stood out. However they need not have worried, because in planning a wedding that was perfect for them they achieved this brilliantly. A wedding filled with the things they genuinely love screamed 'them'!

Modern Marie Antoinette Inspiration

Kat

June 7, 2012

The blog is looking rather glamorous this morning with this opulent and feminine Marie Antoinette inspired shoot all over it. The shoot was styled by Tyson Joines and photographed by Rebecca of Tamiz Photography to be a "shoot that was decadent with pearls and jewels, flowers, gold accents and of course the over the top exaggerated appearance of the Marie Antoinette inspired bride."

Kat

Nicole & John's colourful wedding was held at Church Point Manor Historic Bed & Breakfast on Virginia Beach. They wanted a bright celebration that reflected them and their personalities, and looking at the adorable photographs by Echard Wheeler, I think they certainly achieved that!

The Inspirations: Chris Guillebeau & The Art of Non-Conformity

Kat

June 6, 2012

While in New York last month, I was lucky enough to meet author and entrepreneur Chris Guillebeau through our mutual friend Megan. From our brief encounter I was enthralled by his story of traveling the world, writing books and - without wanting to sound like a big cliché- living the dream! Then, when I got home, I had an email from Chris saying how lovely it was so meet me and how great he thought my business was! Holy cow...
