The Best Wedding Photos of 2017

 

No one loves weddings as much as we do. We can promise you that.

And it’s not just because of the white dress or the flowers or the cake – although we do love cake-, but because of the magic. The wedding magic that can electrify the shyest of guests into dancing queen mode and make the toughest of grooms shed more than just a tear or two at the altar. Let’s face it, it’s that magic that makes weddings as special as they are.

And who is there to witness it all? The photographers!

This year, we challenged hundreds of Bridebook’s best wedding photographers to one simple task: Send us your most unique, outrageous, tender and funny wedding photos from your 2017 weddings and share those special moments for all to enjoy!

So without further ado, here are some of the very best wedding photos of 2017, and the ones we thought had that extra special something!
