While all weddings are romantic, right now portraits of couples who have tied the knot make our hearts sing. Here are eight dreamy photos to capture the magic of two people, one heart, one day

Here are eight dreamy shots that symbolise the spirit of love, all captured by some of the UK’s most talented wedding photographers.
