Fuss-free and light-hearted weddings take centre stage this issue, as we share stories of couples who kept things intimate with a small reception – or ditched their reception in favour of a photography session. When it comes to wedding venues, your imagination is your limit, from the traditional cathedral or ballroom to a boutique hotel or even the Tipi Tent at Night Safari in Singapore. In all our stories, each couple found beautiful ways to make the venue their own with simple additions.

As for bridal portraits, the pandemic’s travel restrictions have meant that couples are limited to destinations within their own countries, but do not despair. See how photographers are stepping up to the creative challenge and reaching new heights (in some cases, literally)! Also, don’t forget to check out the latest spring bridal collections, all of which were designed with smaller scale weddings in mind. There are even sustainable options for the eco-conscious. Enjoy!
