Congratulations! Local wedding photographer Victoria Welton has recently been named one of the Most Inspiring Photographers to Watch in 2025 by msn. “After years of working in relocation and property, recruitment, and as a driving instructor, I finally discovered what I truly wanted to do in my mid-40s,” Victoria says. “Photography allows me to combine creativity, people skills, and storytelling and I absolutely love it.” Based in Crewkerne, Somerset, Victoria specialises in beautiful, vibrant, timeless photography for weddings and more. Already an award-winner, she has been recognised as South West Wedding Photographer of the Year for four consecutive years by the Prestige Awards. She was also one of the first in the UK to introduce augmented reality into wedding photography. “It means so much to be listed alongside such incredible international talent,” Victoria continues. “Thank you to everyone who trusts me with their memories. Here’s to capturing genuine, heartfelt stories for more than seven years and for all the ones yet to be written.” Find out more at victoriaweltonphotography.com THE HEIGHT OF FASHION When Temperley London asked Cake Design by Holly Miller to design a centrepiece for their bridal open day, she knew it couldn’t be just any cake. “As with all my designs, it needed to celebrate creativity, couture and craftsmanship, values that are at the core of everything I create,” Holly says. “This particular design was also an opportunity to honour the artistry that defines the Temperley Collection.” The Toledo gown in almond mix by Temperley was the inspiration behind Holly’s wedding cake design. Each section of the dress was reflected throughout the cake’s tiers, echoing the position of the dress’ motifs. Meanwhile, the stencilled pattern on the fondant replicated the illusion of the delicate netting used as the gown’s base, and cascading sugar flowers in the brightest hues matched Toledo’s bold and beautiful embroidery. “It’s this level of obsession that makes sure my designs stand out from the crowd,” Holly explains.
