Oh the prettiness! Sean Flanigan is one of those photographers who I look at his work and think he's pretty unattainable for little Rock n Roll Bride. You know, one of those cool guys who always gets featured on the biggest and best wedding blogs. But low and behold, this morning I received an email from him asking if I wanted to be the one to feature his newest day after session - taken in Florence, Italy! I think my exact words were 'Errrm hell to the yes please!' Cool I know. Thanks to Sean for making me feel big and important and for sharing this beeeautiful images Credit: Sean Flanigan

A Bustling Flurry Of Exhilaration

Kat

July 27, 2009

When thinking about Mexico, the images that swim around my head (that is, after tequila and fajitas of course) are a fabulous and brightly colour hubbub of excitement. A bustling flurry of exhilaration. To me, my assumption is definitely reflected in their amazing portraits - just check out that yellow wall! The Bride, Dana, described their wedding vision to me: I am from Boston and my husband is from Mexico City. We live in Boston, but I wanted to share his amazing culture and the unique city with my family and friends so we decided to have a destination wedding. Our theme was modern meets classic with a major emphasis on something that has always bound us: our love of music. The ceremony was done set to our favorite songs—a mix of alternative rock and classic Mexican music. Mexico City is in itself, a huge mix of styles and old meets new, so we really played that up in our choices for the whole 4-day experience. Modern hotel and flashy nightclub outings, mixed with a traditional hacienda wedding locale and a live mariache band.

A Tokyo Story

Kat

June 28, 2009

I love Japan rather a lot (have you noticed that about me!?) I love the fashion, the food, the people...the Hello Kitty - everything. In fact I think there is nothing about Japan I don't like, and Tokyo is by far the most amazing city I have ever been to. So when I clapped eyes on Sandra & Richard's engagements by the fabulous Tealily Photography I had no doubt in my mind that a feature would be getting underway. Photographer Trish described their shoot: Joel and I waited at the old green carriage and the statue of the dog which seemed to be a very popular thing to do amongst the human sea of trendy Japanese and slighty overwhelmed tourists. I had only conversed with Sandra via email to that date and suddenly realised I had no idea who I was looking for until I spotted a couple of sweet faces pull through the crowd. We had decided to catch up for dinner since Joel and I were passing through Tokyo and decided to try and fit in a few shots before the light disappeared for the night. We weren't quite sure where to head for these photos in the crazy streets of Tokyo, but Sandra had decided to triple up this date as a bit of sightseeing for us and lead the way. One of the many things I love about Tokyo is how diverse the city is. One minute your under the bright lights of the Shibuya crossing, then you turn a corner and your right in front of an ancient shrine. I would live there in a heartbeat. Thank for the reminiscing Trish & Joel!
