So guys, I know what you’re asking, or at least I think I do…what on earth is a “Rock the Frock” shoot! Am I right? OK, let me elaborate. In it’s simplest form, it’s a shoot that we do after the wedding day. It’s been called other things in other countries, such as “Trash the Dress” or “Cherish the Dress” but, essentially, in my eyes, it can be whatever you want it to be.
My original idea was to offer a shoot after the wedding day that was bit more “stylised” without the usual time constraints of the wedding day, almost like a model shoot. But, over the years, the shoot has evolved somewhat to also embrace couples who, for example, had awful weather on their big day and just wanted a few shots under better conditions. I’ve also undertaken shoots for couples who were disappointed with their wedding pictures from another photographer – basically, the shoot can be whatever you want it to be – either similar to your wedding day pictures or something a little bit more “off the wall” – I’ve even had couples wading into water for these shoots!
So, for my first shoot of the year, last week I headed off to The Vu, a venue where I’ve shot many a wedding day, for Paula and Mark’s “Rock the Frock” shoot. Despite the cold and overcast conditions, we made good use of the various spots at the venue and, as a wee bonus, the guys even had one of The Vu’s limos to work with :-).
Paula & Mark, a big thank you for choosing me to do the shoot for you. Here’s just a few of my own favourites which I hope you like – click on any image to enlarge.
Please leave a comment…I love to know what you think
Family & friends (plus anyone else who might stop by), it would be fantastic if you could leave a comment at the bottom of the post (using either of the comment box options) as I love to hear what you think :-). Also, if you really like these pictures, why not give me a “Like” on my Facebook page to keep in touch with what I’m up to – would be great to have you on board!
