THE TIME OF OUR LIVES

A look back at 2022 through the lenses of the county’s wedding photographers

What a wedding-packed year it’s been – 2022: our first full year of restriction-free celebrations since the start of the pandemic. Surely it’s one for this history books. Our local wedding suppliers have never been so busy turning their couples’ wedding dreams into a longawaited reality. “Finally” is certainly a word we’ve heard a lot this year!

Before we bid farewell to 2022 we asked the region’s wedding photographers to guide us on a look back at their year’s highlights. They’ve been rushed off their feet and are no doubt ready to put them up in front of the fire and enjoy some Christmas telly, but we reckon they wouldn’t have it any other way!
