48 PICTURE THIS Your North East wedding snapper awaits! 27 ALL TIED UP Groom Oliver demonstrates how to let loose on the dancefloor! Hello, my name is Claire and I’m addicted to looking at reader weddings. And nope, it’s not those group or couples’ shots I’m yearning for, as gorgeous and glorious as they may well be. In fact, it’s those ‘caught-in-the-moment’ snaps I particularly love, where you or your guest have been papped without even realising. The moment a real wedding gallery pings in my inbox I’m on it, poring through the evening reception photos for the perfect shots that capture your big day to perfection. By this time those nerve-wracking speeches have been spoken, and the drinks have been flowing, with everyone properly letting their hair down for the first time that day. The result? Some cracking wedding pictures. Groom deciding his tie is better suited around his head than his neck? Check. Female guests’ skyscraper heels abandoned for some serious moves on the dance floor? Check. I can go on and on… With my guilty confession in mind, it goes without saying that this issue has a host of amazing wedding photography for you to savour. We’ve 12 pages of stunning reader weddings to enjoy, starting on p27, and two exclusive local shoots for you to be inspired by, shot on location at Northumberland’s Lough House Farm (p45), and Newcastle’s The Willows at The Woodmans (p78). Then there’s our line-up of some of the North East’s top photographers over on page 48 – if their images don’t whet your wedding appetite, nothing will! Also this issue, we’ve been busy scouring the region for the very best venues to say ‘I do’ to, from sensational Sunderland (p15), to rustic locations perfect for a boho festival vibe (p21). All that plus incredible honeymoons, grooms’ news, fashion, beauty, venue styling and more. Happy wedding planning – see you in September!
