Rock It Barber Shop, Melbourne. The groom deserves some pampering too…

Morning wedding preparation for the girls is usually jammed packed full of activities and things to photograph. Hair, Make up, nails, false eyelashes, and usually a last minute running around checking details. But for the groom, they are usually sitting in the living room, with their friends, a beer in hand, basically watching the clock until they have to throw on their suit, spray some cologne and leave the house. While I love the laid back atmosphere, it usually doesn’t leave much to photograph.

I was so excited when Simon mentioned about going for a traditional straight shave at ROCK IT barber the morning of their wedding.

ROCK IT is every mans dream.  A cool Barber shop with a old school feel, complete with beer, sports and memorabilia. They describe themselves as ” all the stylish atmosphere of an era gone past, mixed with a contemporary edge of today.”
It is the perfect place to relax and be spruced up before heading to the ceremony.
