Old Hollywood, Mexican Punk Rock!

Kat

November 30, 2009

Summer & Christopher's wedding took place in July in a cemetery/mausoleum where the bride's mother works at their beautiful 1920's era chapel - certainly made for some awesome shots huh!? Summer told me: "It didn't bother us that the chapel had a mausoleum inside of it. It's not that we were being purposely macabre, but we both have an understanding of the cycle of life, and felt that it would be beautiful, appropriate, and romantic, to have our wedding in a place which encompassed beauty and history. It was also a nice tribute to my mom, who brought me up with the understanding that death is just another part of life"

Len & Orj's hippy chic psychedelic engagement shoot makes me happieeee. I also must say a huge thank you to this couple who put their photographer Joey Boquiren in touch with me. I am so excited to have discovered his amazing work. B.E.A.uuutiful! Thanks to Len, Orj and of course 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

Memory Lane

Kat

Nadia's vintage Chanel, trip down memory lane inspired photo shoot makes me weep with nostalgic joy. The records, the books, the beautiful dress, the shoes and the make up - all lend themselves oh too perfectly to this by-gone fashion era. Thanks to Millie for sharing these

Roller Derby Bride

Kat

November 18, 2009

This roller derby bride (who met her friend and photographer Lilly whilst playing roller derby for the Rat City Rollers in Seattle) married her long term boyfriend at a 1920's/1930's Bonnie & Clyde inspired wedding in Kubota Gardens, a Japanese garden in Seattle. The entire wedding party was in vintage 1930's garb, as were many of the guests. A getaway car in the form of a 1930's hot rod was provided by a good friend of Randi and Todd's: Jerry Chinn, who is a local prop house owner and collector of vintage vehicles. He was kind enough to pull over a couple of times so the photographer could get some really great shots of them with the car. The reception was at a neighborhood watering hole called Calamity Jane's where jambalaya and collard greens were served and square dancing ensued

Unusually for me I don't have much to say about this stunning, gorgeous and amazing vintage bridal shoot sent in by Allyson of Alley Kat Photography. The hair, the make up, the dress and the location do aaaaall the talking! Thanks so much Allyson for sharing these

Credit: Dixie Pixel Ooooh I'm pretty sure the internet has been oozing awesomeness just so I could include it all in my Thursday Treats this week! Behold this special bumper issue of tastiness - I couldn't leave anything out. Here are some of this week's yummiest morsels...

Steam Punk

Kat

November 6, 2009

I have to say, I don't really know what steam punk is...but from what I gather it's this - a mad hatter, crazy colour, super duper ott, satin, goggled, gothic extravaganza! Is that somewhere close? Sabrina & John had a costume wedding on Halloween and I could not resist these portraits...holy amazing fashion batman! Thanks to Kelly for sending these to me. Wowzer indeed

Vintage Glam & Fun

Kat

November 4, 2009

Chris & Carly's vintage glam wedding was planned with fun in mind..that was it - lets have a blast! The pair didn't want traditions or fuss to play a part, instead focusing on great style (white bridesmaid dresses oh yes!), a ton of character and a party that they could claim as their own.

Loving. Vintage. Wonderland

I have literally died and gone to rockabilly wedding heaven. When Kelty sent me Zach & Sara's newlywed session I actually squealed with excitement! You'll see why...

Under the Spotlight – Whirlingturban

Kat

October 30, 2009

Have you been dreaming about a gorgeous vintage style gown but have been afraid of the potentially massive price tag? Well Katherine Robinson of Whirlingturban has the answer! From a career in Hollywood making glamorous outfits for superstars, Katherine relocated to Bali (!) 8 years ago where she designs and makes vintage reproduction dresses. Her stunning ready made creations for example start at just $400 in her wedding boutique and for a completely custom dress you'd be looking at prices from only $800. As everything is done online she will even ship out a loaner dress to you to make sure the cut and fit are perfect before she makes your dress.

Retro & Real

Kat

October 30, 2009

I thought I'd start today off with a little bit of sexiness...why the hell not huh? Gotta love the retro and 'real' feel these have. Thanks Laura! Credit: Laura Bruen Photography

Ruffled

Kat

October 28, 2009

You lucky lucky things, I have a couple of ridiculously gorgeous ruffled dresses to share with you today, starting with this yellow beauty. Photographer Apryl deemed Rock n Roll Bride worthy of being the first blog to share her work...like, ever. How awesome is that? Oh...and how awesome are these?! The dress, a Clifton Wilhite original found at Junkadoodle was a bit of a mess when they found it, however Apryl and her team, including Katie (who played model for the day) & Sally from Revolution Gardenwho supplied the masquerade masks cleaned it up and rocked out to get these amazing shots. Truly inspiring! Thanks to Apryl for sharing these. I can not wait to see more from you in future!

Emotional & Theatrical

Kat

October 23, 2009

Classy, elegant, retro. These are the words that came to me as soon as I saw Rebecca & Justin's 1950s inspired engagement session. The shoot took place at The Ritz Ybor in downtown Tampa, a venue which perfectly reflected photographer Alicia's vision for the session. Rebecca's polka dot dress was from PinUp Girl Clothing and Justin looked the part in his trilby hat (which retails at $75 but he picked up for $6!) and waistcoat combo. Thanks to Alica for sharing these wonderful images with us

Second Time Lucky

Kat

October 22, 2009

Both beautiful and fun, this wedding was zipped over to me by newbie photographer Emma Case. I am struggling to believe this is only the second wedding she has ever shot! The Southampton based photographer told me all about Ruth & Dan's wedding:

Pomegranates

Kat

October 19, 2009

I fancied starting off the week with a bit of non-wedding gorgeousness. I'm sure you'll forgive me when you lay your eyes on these little beauties. Pomegranates, gorgeous orchard, stunning model, cute doggie and a generally retro feel make these worth the deviation. Thanks to the ever lovely Megan for sharing the love with these Credit: Megan Welker Photography

Rock the Ages

Kat

October 17, 2009

Linds & Ross certainly have that retro cool thing going on - from their 1950s-esque beach shoot to the 1970s hippy chic garden poses, these guys certainly know how to rock the camera...and the ages. Thanks to the lovely Dani for sharing these - I have more from her coming up soon! Credit: Dani Mac Photography

I Saw a Shooting Star on my Wedding Night

Kat

October 15, 2009

Do you remember Anna & Ryan's Old Fashioned Love Affair wedding? Well, Mysi & Craig, the photographers of that soiree sent me their very own wedding - they got hitched a few weeks after! Mysi & Craig got married at a lodge in the middle of nowhere, near her parent's house in Illinois. They made a lot of the details - throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the DIY! They created their own programs to look like newspapers and got their invites printed onto handkerchiefs, the design of which was by the amazing etsy artist Heather Jenny.

Mad Men Inspired

Kat

October 11, 2009

Sarah & Troy had an intimate wedding at the courthouse and she wore this beeeeautiful vintage retro red dress. The couple had never had professional photographs before so relished with having the super cool Brandi Thompson there by their side.

Vibe.

I have a very excited week ahead of me (all will be revealed soon!) but I've just got time to share this beautiful film (shot in the UK) sent to me by reader Andy. It has such a gorgeous vintage 70's vibe and I just adore it! Soak it up baby...Credit: Matt Jackson
