Iconic Californian photographer and blog land favourite, Stephanie Williams, was kind enough to let me be the first to share this beautiful new engagement session she just shot with husband, and business partner, Issac. Naoko & Taejo's shoot is fit to bursting with colour and fun, who could ever been uncheered by jelly babies and balloons!? Thanks so much to Stephanie & Issac for sharing with me! Mwah...

Tinywater are freaking awesome. I swear...I actually love them and their work a little bit more than what could be contrived as normal. Check these out, if you don't love these...well I then I don't know what to say...YUMMY! There are a lot more images from this workshop on their blog. Go check them out (here, here and here)...seriously...like now. As always Caroline & Dan, you are fabulous and you blow me away! Credit: Tinywater Photography

I'm taking a break from less pretty stuff to share this gorgeous session by Cathy Empey. Cathy attended a photography workshop held by Jessica Claire and took these a-a-amazing images whist she was there. The details are of course fabulous (check out that super duper cute newspaper decorated cake & cake topper!) but her perspective is what really drew me in to these...stunning. The vitals: Event & Photo Stylist: Grey Likes Weddings Floral Design: Flora Organica Hair & Makeup: Vivian Tran of All Made Up Wedding Stationary, Favors, and Paper Suite: MaeMae Paperie Printing of paper products: Czar Press Fabric Rosettes, shoe clips, and “just married” banner over cake: B.

The Carnival Wedding

Kat

September 28, 2009

I'm sure most of blog land will have seen and heard of The Langs before without even knowing it. Their engagements, wedding, portraits and anniversary shoot (all photographed by the uber talent that is Sloan Photographers) have certainly made the rounds and with huge justification. Yes. Wow. So you can imaging my excitement and surprise to get an email from Stacie, one half of the duo to let me know that her and Geoff have ventured into wedding photography themselves and would I like to be the first blog to share some of their work...erm Hell to the YES I would. I predict big things for these guys. Mark my words, blog land will be all over these two within a matter of weeks. Anyway, lets get onto the actual wedding they sent me and boy is it a beauty. Kerri & Kyle had a carnival themed wedding and I'm not talking a few little touches - I mean full out actual carnival awesomeness! The couple did everything themselves and on a very small budget but they had the full works - An actual balloon lady, bubbles, cotton candy, photo booth, popcorn, soda bar, candy bar and of course lots of dancing! AAAAmazing. Stacie & Geoff I am honoured that you have sent your first submission to little old me. Eeek...love love love. Thank you so much for being so freakin' awesome. Credit: Lang Photographers

I have been waiting to see these photographs for what feels like a lifetime! Remember the fabulous Tinywater contest that ran in July? Well the gorgeous Erica & Richie won themselves a photo shoot with the ridiculously talented and lovely Caroline & Dan and {eeeek} they have just sent me the results...exclusive people exclusive! Prepare yourself for some serious awesomeness! I am honoured to have been involved in putting these guys together...hell without my little old blog these shoot would never have happened - how nuts is that!? Alrightly enough of my rambling...behold...mucho yumminess! Credit: Tinywater Photography

Top 20 Rock n Roll Weddings… Part 2!

Kat

September 25, 2009

So it turns out you all loved the top 20 huh? Well I did too and to be honest it was really blooming difficult to narrow it down to just 20...fancy seeing 20 more then? I've only featured weddings that are older than about 4 months (past 50 pages in - there are well over 100 pages of old posts on this site...oh yes!) because otherwise I would have been here forever. Again, let me know what you think!

Pin Up’s, Croquet & Converse

September 24, 2009

Oh how I adore Sloan Photographers. I really really do. I say that a lot and about a lot of people but come on...these are way too amazing for words! As soon as I saw Tiphany & Jamie's wedding I was right on to getting these bad boys featured on Rock n Roll Bride. Lucky for me (and you!) the guys were ever so happy to oblige and here we have it. What I love the most is that the bride in in yellow Converse! No uncomfortable shoes for her. If this isn't rock n roll then quite frankly I don't know what is. ps Word on the street is that Matt & Angie have just shot an engagement shoot with a fuschia haired bride. Eeek I can't wait to see those! Thanks guys for sharing these. You are the best! Credit: Sloan Photographers

I wish we'd had a wedding video...what a beautiful love story! I really really reeeeally love the vintagey feel, the must and the stop frame animation of the opening. Makes me want to go watch a silent movie. Thanks to the ever lovely Alan for sending this in

Rustic Glamour

Kat

September 22, 2009

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. Thanks, as ever, to the always lovely Erin & Court for allowing me to share this gorgeous wedding! This wedding has also been featured on The Bride's Cafe but I couldn't resist a little sneak too! Credit: ErinHeartsCourt

Lisa & Geoff are awesome. So awesome in fact that my friends over at 100 Layer Cake also realised their awesomeness and have blogged their entire wedding over on their site today. Right here though I'm all about their amazing day after shoot at The California State Fair. I'm pretty sure the fairground photo shoot sinario is one I'm not going to tire of easily - so much colour and fun! Thanks to the lovely Sarah for sending these in and thanks to Jillian over at 100 Layer Cake for working with me on this feature - be sure to go check out their post asap!

Nostalgia With Silliness

Kat

September 15, 2009

When photographer Meghan described Kristine & Robert's engagement session as 1950s nostalgia infused with silliness and some romance and style as well I was hooked! What a fabulous combination and what rock n roll cool these are! Thanks to Meghan for sharing these! Credit: Meghan Aileen Photography

I am on a blogging roll this morning hey? Can't stop now though, I've got Keith & Rachel's amazing engagements to show you. The couple (who I swear to God should be models) will actually be getting married at the exact location of this shoot. Keith is a tattoo artist and did the awesome sleeve on Rachel's arm. I was shocked to hear that Corin's photography had never been blogged before - it is stunning! I am super excited to be the first wedding blog to share her work with the world. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of her.

The Fairground

Funfair? Check... Balloons? Check...Adorable couple? Check...That gorgeous streaming Californian light? Check! It seems I will never tire of this scenario for an engagement shoot - it really shows the a fun side to any couple that just can't help but make me smile - especially that 'slide' shot - how much fun does that look?! Oh how I love it so... Thanks to the gooorrrrgeous Sarah for sharing with me! Credit: Sarah K Chen Photography

Infatuation.

Kat

August 6, 2009

Is is possible to have an addiction to a set of photographers? Because I definitely have a really intense Tinywater habit. Every day I need to get my fix...and it feels gooooood. One day I will travel to Sacramento and track down Caroline & Daniel as I hold them personally responsible for my infatuation. Credit: Tinywater

Infectious Excitement

Kat

July 17, 2009

Credit: Steep Street Musings Michael and Juniper had such an adorable session right on East Bay. I am just loving the calming, contemplative, observation-style of these images. Whilst the whole colour and tone effect is super soothing and peaceful, the couple's excitement is out in such abundance that it's kinda infectious. Thanks to the gorgeous Kelty for sharing the lurve!

Thrifty Gorgeous

Faith & Joe didn't have much time to plan their wedding, especially as they live in Portland but chose to have the event in California as lots of their friends and family lived here. They also decided to do the whole thing in a super thrifty way. This however, led them to have a truly unique, personal DIY wedding. Friends and family also helped them out wherever they could with her Mum making the cake, the dried flowers for the bouquets, boutonnieres and decorations being donated and Faith getting her gorgeous dress from a thrift store, adding the tulle and brown sash herself and even making her own veil. This has got to be one of the sweetest and most stylish DIY weddings I've ever had the pleasure of sharing with you all. Thanks to photographer Shannon Moore for sharing!
