Drowning in Sun Light

January 5, 2010

Makah & Andre's engagement shoot makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside; and as I sit here in my Slanket and fingerless gloves (I kid you not) I am so excited that they shared them with me! The South American couple met at the party of a mutual friend and they got married in December. After seeing these I am very excited to see their wedding photographs now too...I hope they make me feel just as snuggly warm. Thanks to Makah & Andre for sharing these with us

Light Up

Kat

January 3, 2010

Is it just me or did Christmas just zoom by!? The build up is always huge and I can't believe it's all over with now. As blog-land slowly wakes up after a much needed rest (not me..too much of a blogaholic I am...take two weeks off? Are you nuts?!) I'm still swooning over the many Crimbo-related submissions I've been receiving. Catie & Dave's engagements stood out as soon as photographer Lisa sent them to me. Not only is Catie a huge fan of Rock n Roll Bride (she gets instant kudos and jumps the the front of the featuring queue for that one) but the couple's shoot is nothing short of spectacular. The Christmas lights really bring the shots alive and how can I resist the fact that to propose, Dave got 'Will you marry me?' inked on his arm, thank God she said yes! Thanks to Lisa for sharing these and to Catie & Dave for being aweome. I can't wait to see how their wedding turns out in October.

2009 – The Year That Was {Part Two}

December 31, 2009

The Cimbo Limbo posts continue with part deux of the grand review of 2009. Brace yourselves for the July to December extravaganza people! ♥ Jenny & Johnny were way to stylish and way to cool to exclude from this list. If I had a face like hers I'd certainly be rocking the girl-hawk hair do. A Ring bearing ninja, the motorbike portraits and the tattoo-inspired

2009 – The Year That Was {Part One}

Kat

December 30, 2009

As is customary at this time of year, I wanted to take some time to look back over the last 12 months and share with you some of my most favourite weddings, photo shoots and features. I think you'll be hard pushed to not find something that makes you go 'ooooh' amongstthis lot. Enjoy a-reminiscing! I'll be back tomorrow with part 2 (there's too much to narrow it down to just one post!) I'm also taking this slow blog-time (I like to refer to it as 'Crimbo Limbo' (!) to ponder my ideas and plans for Rock n Roll Bride in 2010. I'll try and share my musings for the year ahead with you soon and would love for you to let me know what you think. It's all about you dear reader after all...

Snowy Skateboarding

Kat

December 23, 2009

Our second set of boarders come from London and had a snowy/boardy shoot with Andy Thornhill. The UK has been blanketed in snow this week so it was the perfect opportunity to mix it up. Man...I'm stranded at home right now and wishing I had a photographer friend next door who wanted to come take photographs! Thanks to Andy for sharing the snow

Board to my Heart

December 23, 2009

What with it being Christmas and all, I've got not one but two skateboarding couple's to share with you today. First up, Tom & Emily looking every bit hard ass in their engagement shoot with their photographer and friend Dale. Enjoy... Thanks to Meredith & Dale for sharing these

Camden Rocks

Kat

December 21, 2009

Camden Market in North London is where all the cool kids hang out. The streets are littered with funky bars, awesome boutiques and stores that can only be described as treasure troves. With thrift and charity shops filled to the rafters with gems a-plenty, gothic stores fit to bursting with corsets, black lace and fishnet tights and a tattoo parlour on every corner, it's easy to see why the location is a seemingly perfect one for a Rock n Roll engagement shoot. Thanks to Chanelle for sending these over. Rock on baby!

New York Chic

December 20, 2009

Bethany & Chris look super chic in their engagement session which took place in New York's Meatpacking District. I adore the graffiti and Madonna posters in the background! Thanks to Angie for sharing these with us today

Hitting you Sideways

Kat

December 17, 2009

Omar & Laarni's ridiculously awesome engagement session was shot using a Mamiya RB67 Polaroid Back Camera by the genius brothers that are MangoRED. Now I may be obsessed with beautiful photography, but most technical jargon totally passes me by. Yet I thought it necessary to include that information with this post, as I'm sure, if you're anything like me, these will I literally stop you in your tracks as they hit you sideways with their awesomeness. LE . SWOON . Thanks to Randall & Ryan for just being so damn cool Credit: MangoRED

Crazy in Love

Kat

December 16, 2009

A 'typical' engagement session this certainly is not. Axioo have gone and blown my mind again! Fun, flirty, hilarious, sexy, cool, crazy and quirky all in one shoot - you're going to go nuts for these. For Nico & Emil, together we came up with the craziest mix of ideas to show who they are. Each with a color of their own, but together they are truly one of a kind. Emil is gorgeous, when I first met her I really thought she's model or miss beauty queen. She's elegant, edgy and yet quirky...who would have thought she's a dentist. Nico is all out wacky, funny and full of expression. It's been a while since i know someone like Nico, he reminds me of Ivan our uber-hyper-creative photographer. Thanks to David for making me laugh today Credit: Axioo

High Fashion Passion

Kat

December 16, 2009

Can you say 'high fashion supermodels'??! Erica & Billy certainly fit the bill and I am so excited to share them with you today. Not only are their outfits awesome beyond belief (Erica's fur coat is way too fabulous) but New York makes for the perfect edgy, backdrop to this shoot. Thanks to Angelica for sharing these with us today Credit: Angelica Glass Photography

When you FALL in Love

Emily & Mason's fabulous autumn engagement session is so full of happiness and fun. I heart it and you will too... Thanks to Brent for sharing (and ps stay tuned - I have more from Brent to share uber soon!)

Marylebone Lovers

Kat

December 14, 2009

Wooo more UK fabulousness people - this time with a kick ASS engagement shoot shot in Marylebone, London. For me, Emily & Callum epitomise London cool. Casual, funky, stylish and quirky - just the way I like it! Emily describes herself as a rock chick with a passion for vintage glamour, so I wanted to do something a bit different for them. We shot at night in a grungy car-park and the park next door, I still had to use a bench though! Thanks to Andy for sharing. Come on the UK!

Pink Hearts & Jack Russell Dogs

Kat

December 8, 2009

Angela & Anthony are a wonderful couple - not only did Angela send me the cutest email a while back (I featured it on my blog love page!) but she's just sent me their adorable engagement session to check out and I couldn't resist featuring it. It was that pink hearts and Jack Russell's that's did it for me! You're gonna love these!

Sweet Tooth

Kat

December 2, 2009

I actually featured newbie photographer Shannon McLaughlin's own wedding waaaay back in February - many of you may recognise her as Mrs Candy Corn from Wedding Bee. Well, like many of us recent brides, the thought of giving up all things wedding once she'd tied the knot was too much to bear so she decided to venture into wedding photography herself...and oh how pleased we are that she did! She has only had her professional camera for a little over a month and look how awesome she is already! The recently engaged Veronika & Bryan acted as models for this shoot. Veronika owns her own vintage shop called Sweet Tooth Vintage through the fabulous Etsy so she had lots of amazing outfits to wear. I am also loving the various props and locations used for this shoot - an environmental centre in Philadelphia, the couple's own home (including their insane number of pets!) and a cuuuute tandem bike! A Huge Rock n Roll thank you ro Shannon for sharing her work and this amazing couple. I am so excited to see more of her in future! ps go check out her blog - it's super duper cute!

An Engagement Session on Steriods

Kat

November 25, 2009

Part two of today's love for The Philippines comes in the form of these stunning images sent by Jeffroger Kho. Arthur & Sheilan are one seriously cool couple and I am nuts about that purple dress! Jeffroger described this session as 'an engagement session on steriods' and I certainly have to agree. It's not everyday a photographer shoots a couple in a spooky, abandoned house that looks like it belongs on an Asian horror movie set or on a windswept beach standing in a box and wrapped in clingfilm! These shots seriously wouldn't look out of place in Vogue and I am smitten. Thanks to Jeffroger for thinking of me and knowing how much I'd love these when he sent them over!

Elegant & Quirky

Kat

November 25, 2009

I'm having a bit of a Philippines love fest today because as many of you will know I seem to adore everything that comes out of that country. The photographic style is so elegant yet so quirky, so fashion-let but so personal. Love love love. I'm starting off with newbie photographer Joey Boquiren who sent me Filmore & Margaux' engagement session...now tell me I'm wrong! Super stylish yet super sweet and personal right? Faaabulous Thanks to Joey for sharing these

Indie Rock

Kat

November 23, 2009

Hello again you gorgeous creatures, I hope you didn't miss me too much this weekend (although I was pretty rubbish at staying away - my phone kept me up to date quite nicely with Twitter and Facebook!) I'm starting this week off with a bang, firstly with the adorably indie Leanne & Nate and their beyond perfect engagement session. Photographer Noa has really been making waves in blog land over the last few months and as always it is my absolute pleasure to share this session that she sent me. As always thanks Noa. You rock my world! People, hold on to your knickers and pop back here in a few hours to find out your three finalists for the Erica Berger Trash the Dress contest. In the words of Dermot O'Leary "They'll need your votes!" (I understand that only makes sense if you're in the UK but oh well!) Credit: FeatherLove Photography

Two Hearts

Kat

November 15, 2009

Paulus and Natasha's pre wedding video by the ridiculously talented guys at Axioo is so incredible that I literally couldn't wait to get it up here. Words almost fail me. The way the stills and the moving image merge seamlessly is just so perfect and the way music builds and builds to that incredible crescendo at the end is so moving! You seriously must watch this whole video...oh and I dare you not to cry. Credit: Axioo
