From getting ready shots, to the first dance, there are hundreds of special moments to capture over a whole day when it comes to wedding photography. A favourite shot might be the bride/groom walking down the aisle, or the couple portraits are always special post-vows; but it doesn't always go to plan, especially when involving pets, children and in this case... food!

Take a peek at these food-inspired snaps that were all finalists in the Champagne Taittinger Wedding Food Photographer category at the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year awards... was the winner your favourite too?

"Normally weddings run to plan, but it's really fun to capture the moments where things go a little off script." says Armstrong-Millar, an Irish photographer who has lived near Bordeaux for over 15 years and was the winner of the category of the above image titled 'Many a Slip'.

3rd: 'Special food for the couple' won third, captured by Bangladesh photographer Sohel Ahmed. In Bangladesh it is a tradition to serve a full cooked goat on husbands table on the wedding day and the groom along with everyone share the food all together to celebrate the day.

Highly Commended: Amanda Farnese Heath captured 'Wild Wedding For Two'. She says, "During this past year I have had to modify my wild dining events that I host occasionally, and came up with the idea of anyone wishing to get married during lockdown by offering a wild tiny wedding with an exquisite banquet in a remote secret location in Scotland. This is one of the images from our first minuscule event."

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026. The traditional tiered cake certainly hasn't disappeared, but couples are feeling less tied to the idea that a wedding cake has to look or taste a certain way. These days, it's being treated as another part of the styling of the day, so the design reflects the couple, the venue and the overall feel of the wedding.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.
