The Best Wedding Photos of 2018 Are IN! 

With 1 in 3 couples planning their wedding on Bridebook, you know we must love weddings. Like reaaally love them. But what makes them so special are all the individual moments spread through the day. From the bride sharing a whisper with father before going down the aisle, or the shy flower girl kidnapping some canapes, we want to make sure these special moments, and the incredible wedding photographers that capture them, are celebrated. 

This year, once again, we challenged hundreds of Bridebook’s best wedding photographers to send us their most unique, funny, tender and outrageous wedding photos from their 2018 weddings, so we could share those magical moments for all to enjoy!

So without further ado, here are our favourite wedding photos of 2018.

How many times do you get an opportunity to take a picture of the Bride on a roller coaster?? This was one of the most exciting moments in this photographer’s career (we just wonder how he did it…).
