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'.
2nd: Scottish photographer Lynne Kennedy came second with 'We Did It!'. A joyful image of a couple celebrating after eloping to the Isle of Skye to get married in September 2020.
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."
Highly Commended: Louise Anna Photography captured 'Pizza Truck'. The bride and groom are given the chance to make their own pizza on their wedding evening.
Highly Commended: Bangladesh photographer Subrata Dey captured 'Chocolate and the bride'. He says, "I captured this beautiful picture from a wedding party at Chittagong Bangladesh. Where I saw the bride at the wedding eating chocolate with extreme joy. The joy of her marriage and the taste of chocolate seemed to blend together in this picture."
Marriage law reform: what the Government’s proposals could mean for couples
Planning a wedding is fun, stressful, time consuming. Couples want a ceremony that reflects their taste, is reflective of their love for each other and feels unique. The current restrictions in place can sometimes fetter that. Long-awaited plans to modernise weddings law in England and Wales could give couples far greater freedom over where and how they marry. It is hoped that they may be part of a much wider transformation of family law which is going through the biggest shakeup in decades.

Bye Bye Sweet Caroline: The Classic Anthems BANNED From UK Weddings
The era of the predictable wedding singalong is officially dead, according to new data from entertainment agency Jonny Ross Music.

A shocking analysis of playlist requests shows that legendary floor-fillers are being banished to the 'Do Not Play' list. Modern couples are ordering DJs to completely snub overplayed staples like 'Uptown Funk' and 'Mr Brightside'. But Brits are not turning their backs on the dancefloor.
