The ‘60s are in full swing in this groovy shoot. teresac.co.uk Natasha and Sam brought just the right amount of seasonal sparkle to their Christmas wedding. weddingphotographyco.com 79 63 37 48 97 M y editor’s letter this issue should carry a warning. I’m more than a little bit excited that Christmas is on the horizon and we’ve approached the time of year where my fever pitch obsession with it starts to get unbearable. Just ask the rest of the CWM team! As a Christian it’s not really about the presents for me, although if someone were kind enough to pop a little something under the tree I wouldn’t complain. No, it’s the reason for the season and the joy it brings. That’s why I absolutely adore it when couples choose this time of love to express their own and make their commitment to each other, like real wedding couple Natasha and Sam who said “I do” on 27th December. Find out more about their day on page 37. Plus, you’ll find a roundup of winter wonderland venues on page 23. There are also some stunning styled shoots for you to feast your eyes on, taking inspiration from the swinging ‘60s and the versatility of a pastel palette. You won’t want to miss them over on pages 48 and 63. We absolutely love the variety of backdrops our gorgeous region provides, from the iconic urban to the breathtaking rural. We talked to local photographers to find out how to make the most of these timeless vistas in your wedding shots. Flick to page 53 for our pick of these jaw-dropping images. Without any further ado I welcome you to this, the last issue of 2019, and hope you enjoy! Kelly x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
