I’ve been a Crown and Glory obsessive ever since I first saw her beautiful pieces on the pages of a glossy magazine. I distinctively remember being sat on a busy train flicking through Company and being stopped in my tracks (boom, boom!) as I saw her gorgeous flower crowns and glitter bows in one of their fashion editorials. So not to forget to check them out online later, I snapped a photo and tweeted “Note to self, check out @crownandglory_!”

Fun With Film & Rainbows

I love old film cameras. There's something so innocently wonderful about having a tangible and imperfect photograph to hold in your hand. In this hyper digital age, I think we've all been so quick to forget that unadulterated joy of taking your rolls of 35mm to the developers and waiting with baited breath to get the prints. They didn't always turn out, but that was weirdly part of the appeal. When you did get that one perfect shot, without previews on the back of the camera or Photoshop wizardry to help, it was utterly magnificent.

People always ask me about my own wedding. Sometimes it makes me cringe. There are so many things we'd do differently, the elusive "Oh if we only knew then what we do now..." But there is one thing I'd never change.

Happy Birthday… To Me!

Made U Look

April 7, 2013

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of workshops, fabulously cheap vintage shopping (Portland, I love you) delicious healthy eats (California does this right) and DISNEYLAND! The Haunted Mansion was as wonderful as expected and Captain EO was 80s flashback-tastic.

Here I go Again On my Own…

Kat

March 25, 2013

Bright and early tomorrow morning I'm grabbing my hot pink suitcases and hitting the road for the first stop on The Blogcademy World Tour. I've actually never flown long-haul solo before so I'm excited but also a little bit nervous about the whole thing. I have complete faith in Virgin Atlantic to get me there in one piece though, don't let me down Richard!

Honoured…

I was so incredible honoured when blog reader Cécile sent me this drawing that she'd done of Gareth & me. As photographer Christine who took the original photograph said when I showed it to her, "It takes me straight back to that moment! It makes my heart smile so much! Wow such a talent that Cécile is".

What are you looking for in your wedding photographer? Someone who shoots images you love, who you quite like as person and that fits within your budget I'd assume. But today let's look a little deeper.

For the second part of our Parisian adventure it was time to leave our paradisiac apartment and venture outside. With such a limited time to shoot we knew exactly where we wanted to go - La Tour Eiffel!

Bonjour mes petits amis! Well I'm finally back at my desk after two weeks of non-stop craziness with The Blogcademy gang. And although I'm missing my girls like crazy, I have to say it's pretty damn good to be home. My head is spinning with everything that's happened over the past fortnight. In fact it's whirring so much that I'm struggling to even form sentences...

Newly Engaged? Start Here!

January 1, 2013

Congratulations you're engaged! If you're new around these parts I'd like to say hi and to let you know how excited I am to meet you. This is going to be one of the most awesome/stressful/exciting/fulfilling/hair-tearing (delete as appropriate) rides of your life and I for one can't wait for you to get started! In fact I loved planning my wedding so much that I made it into my career. Gareth & I were married in April 2008. I started this blog to document the journey and I haven't stopped since!

A Year in Instagram

Kat

December 31, 2012

I'm not gonna lie, one of my highlights of 2012 was when Instagram came to android in March. Sad? Yes - Embarrassed? No! I've loved looking back at my year though the snapshots (over 1000 of them!) that I've taken. And if you don't follow me already, whydontya?! I'm rocknrollbride (shocking!)

My Mum hates having her photo taken, so for Christmas last year I did what any loving daughter would and bought her a photo shoot with Lisa! Although I know she was grateful for the gesture I also know she was ridiculously nervous about the whole thing... which is probably why, after much persuasion and coercion from yours truly, they only just got around to booking it.

Welcome to Rock n Roll Bride 2.0: The Green Room

Kat

January 3, 2012

In 2007 I started a wedding blog, called it Rock n Roll Bride and began sharing alternative weddings and inspiration - wedding inspiration for girls like me. Girls that were planning their weddings but felt disillusioned and disheartened by the frou frou, fluffy, cookie cutter industry and limited choices they were offered for ‘their’ big day. Skip forward a few years, to January 2012, and this little wedding blog of mine has grown to be amongst the most popular in the world (OK it feels utterly ludicrous typing that but I guess it is true...) Needless to say, the girl with the neon hair and big dreams did good. This wedding blog is now not only my full time job, but my husband Gareth's. We have an incredibly chaotic and happy home and we couldn't be more grateful for where Rock n Roll Bride, and the people who've supported it, has brought us.

All will be properly revealed really soon, but needless to say I'm pretty darn excited about it. Could this be a Rock n Roll Bride Magazine? ...And a FREE one at that? If you want to find out exactly what's been going on then you'll need to come see me at the The Designer Vintage Bridal Show in Birmingham next weekend, where I'll be handing out copies of this new little venture of mine for absolutely nadda. Tickets for the show can be purchased online here.

After the whirlwind of walking the catwalk at Omaha Fashion Week you'd think I might deserve a rest no? Well erm...no apparently I didn't. The following morning we were up bright and early for another busy day!
