What about this sexy couple then? an old Hollywood, film noir style mixed with that unique Russian flair... gorgeous

A Surreal Fairytale

Kat

July 2, 2009

Russian Photographer Catherine Alechinsky has send me a selection of her wonderfully surreal, fairytale-like images. These remind me of the sort of images you'd find illustrating a fantasy story...I'm going start with this cute couple...I love her hairband, she reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or something. Thanks to Catherine for sending me these and to reader Chanelle for drawing my attention to her work.

Artistic

Kat

July 1, 2009

This fun, quirky, laid back engagement session perfectly reflects the couple in it. With a pair of artists as subjects - Kelsey, an art historian & Stephan, a painter - what other sort of engagement session would you expect than one like this? An artistic, calm and serene vision that's what these are. I like them an awful lot. Photographer Emily Garrick seriously rocked this session - thanks so much for sharing!

Giddy With Bloggy Excitement

Kat

June 30, 2009

OK so I'm pretty much giddy with excitement over sharing this Las Vegas engagement session and wedding sent to me by photographer Holly Jones. Chronologically it makes sense to start with the engagements right? I am c-c-c-crazy about Teneisha's pink dress and yellow shoe combo and of course the Neon Graveyard makes for a completely awesome backdrop. EEEK I can't wait to show you the wedding later - she has the most gorgeous green, polka-dotted dress!

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!

Burnt Down House Engagements

Kat

June 28, 2009

Tina & Derek's engagements in a burnt out house are so. damn. cool! I am loving the fireplace, the awesome chair and the feather. These have such an intense beauty to them...much love! Photographer Jen Arthur also shot some post wedding portraits as the couple eloped so didn't have pro wedding photographs, which I can't wait to see too.

Back To School

Kat

June 27, 2009

Kat Braman sent me this gorgeous engagement session/trip down memory lane. The shoot took place at various locations, culminating at the high school where they met - sweet! High Schools may not be the happiest time of everyones life, or the most glamorous locations ever, but this couple seem blissfully happy and Kat has made the old skool (did I actually just write that!?) location looks much cooler than any high end-swanky fashion shoot location ever could. Kudos lady!

Bright, Colourful And Super Gorgeous!

June 26, 2009

I'd like to say a big hiya! to one of my new fabulous sponsors, Whitney Lee Photography (check them all out on the right hand side, under 'link love') and to share this gorgeous new engagement session she shot with you. The bright coloured walls are all so beautiful...and those flowers look so good they could almost be fake!

Dance Like A Mannequin

Kat

June 25, 2009

These stunning engagements were shot by the oh to fabulous Axioo Photography - photographers extraordinaire from Jakarta, Indonesia. I am loving all these images because theytell a story. We start off with Farah in a shop window, looking like a mannequin who then comes to life and dances like a ballerina with her fiance...and the painting the wall ones? Well they're just awesome!

You Can’t Be Serious – Engaging

Kat

June 24, 2009

I've got another double whammy for you - this time the same couple but two sessions...their engagements and wedding photographs are so good I have to share both! Starting with the engagement session by You Can't Be Serious. Holy Moly I love these! Jess & Dana are one of those couples you just want to be aren't they?! Effortlessly cool and ooh thereis even a cute little video! Photographer Hailey Bartholonew is also a Videographer, so if you're looking for a multi talented super rock n roll photographer in Australia she is definitely worth a look! Hang on tight for their wedding photographs, they are gonna blow you away!

A Sweet Engagement

Kat

June 24, 2009

How about another little gem from Sweet Monday Photography? This time a ridiculously cool engagement session. Any photo session with graffiti, pink shoes and Groom-t0-be in a shirt as wicked as this one gets my vote!

Desperate Housewife?

Kat

June 18, 2009

These are too gorgeous for words. I am c-c-crazy about this sexy 1960's 'desperate housewife' inspired engagement shoot from Ryan of RCJones Photography. The glasses in particular are so super sexy! The couple also starred in an equally gorgeous modern day shoot, so be sure to head over to Ryan's blog to check that one out too!

Under Pressure?

Kat

June 17, 2009

I always wonder who photographers choose to take their own wedding photographs. Oh the pressure of having to shoot a fellow professional's wedding! Ben Haisch and his gorgeous fiance Maddie definitely lucked out by having Sean Flanigan shoot their engagements...you might actually call it a perk of the job having such talented friends!

Geeks Rule

Kat

June 10, 2009

Being married to an uber geek myself, I have a special akin with all things geeky. Check out this cute geekboy who proposed to his girlfriend by hacking into the video game she was playing (skip ahead to 4:38 for the good stuff)

She Said Yes!

Kat

June 10, 2009

Your proposal (whether you're the proposer or proposee) has got to be the most romantic moment of your life so far right? (even if it's not!) So what's a better idea than this - asking a photographer to hide and capture the most important and special moments as they unfold. I would love to have photographs of this exact second, when I stood in shocked silence before finally saying 'YES!'

Retro Plane Chic

Kat

June 9, 2009

I have another rock star couple to bring you today. Their engagement and wedding photographs are totally deserving of a post so going to share both. I'm starting off with their pin up styleee retro shoot, complete with planes and real life pilots!
