WOOOHOOO!!! We’re beyond thrilled to have finalized the Summer/Fall 2026 issue of Real Weddings Magazine and sent it off to the printer just this past week! Stressful? Yes! Exciting? Totally yes! And with its upcoming arrival, it’s time to crown new real cover models!
How do we pick our covers? Good question! This issue, we did three styled shoots featuring real couples as our models; and from these shoots we would pick the covers—two print covers: one for the Summer-print cover, one for the Fall-print cover; and one digital edition covers: Summer/Fall digital edition.
Like always, trying to pick just the covers is truly agonizing, seriously, AGONIZING—we have so many amazing shots from our shoots and every shoot deserves one of the covers! And if you’ve followed our blog at all, you know that picking the final covers for our magazines has to be one of the toughest jobs we have. It truly is a great problem to have, it means we have a lot of great choices! But as always: It. Was. So. Hard.
But the time has come to reveal our cover models for the Summer/Fall 2026 issue of Real Weddings Magazine! Can we get a drum roll please?
