There’s something so magical about a summer wedding. But while the idea of tying the knot under sunny skies sounds like a dream, the reality can be a little more sweaty. Heat, humidity, and formalwear aren’t always the best combination, especially when you’re the one in the spotlight. If you’re the groom or bride, staying cool, comfortable and photo-ready is entirely possible with a bit of clever planning. Here’s how to survive a sizzling summer wedding without melting under the pressure.
Believe it or not, content creators weren’t a thing a couple of years ago, especially not in weddings. In 2025, they’re everywhere, causing a delightful splash on the wedding scene and providing a sought-after service for modern couples excited to share their day online. I’ve met some fabulous content creators, and spoken to wedding photographers who love working alongside them.
But the rise of wedding content creators has instigated some interesting discussions online: from a tiny minority who’ve caused problems for wedding photographers (because this has been a learning curve for everyone!) to established pros wondering if wedding photography has a future at all. (It does!) At this point I had to step up and explain why you still need a wedding photographer, even if you’ve booked a content creator to capture your wedding.
It felt perfectly fitting to share this luxe wedding fashion editorial from Croatia as the summer wedding season reaches its heights right now! Join me for sunny, beautiful climes and admire this fabulous creative photoshoot by some of Croatia’s finest.
The venue is Villa Borgo Lapis in Višnjan, a stunning Istrian estate nestled among vineyards. Take inspiration from the styling touches and creative elements all curated by local creatives, designed to showcase emerging wedding trends for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Unusually, let’s start today’s gorgeous wedding blog with a fun fact: Tony proposed to Kian after gifting her a sky dive for her birthday. He tandem jumped first at 15,000 feet and then Kian followed. As Kian landed Tony was on one knee with a gorgeous ring. He had a videographer jump from the plane with Kian and captured the whole thing on video!
The wedding day was possibly a less adrenaline-filled occasion, but full of heart and soul. With images beautifully captured by Lake District wedding photographer Mark Battista, the couple celebrated with their closest family, ending the evening in their wedding outfits and slippers playing board games and eating cheese in their cosy, intimate and charming country house venue. It sounds utterly perfect.
