We’re crazy excited to release our Winter/Spring 2015 issue this week, and so, it’s time to reveal our new cover model finalists and our cover model winner! Can we get a drumroll please?
Congratulations to Sacramento area real bride, Allison Sinclair, for being chosen as our cover model winner! Allison graces the upcoming cover of our Spring 2015 issue — here’s a sneak peek of her upcoming cover coming out in February 2015!

As always, we picked three amazing real brides from the hundreds who entered our cover model contest to serve as our fashion models for our shoot at Park Winters this past September. We are honored to have Liz, Catherine and Allison as this issue’s three cover model finalists! These uber easy going, beautiful and funny young women let us poke and prod them, dress them up and make them up at our all-day shoot — exclusively on location at Park Winters. Liz, Catherine and Allison, our sincere thanks for being such great Real Weddings Magazine cover model contest finalists! (Our only regret is not being able to jump in the pool at the end of the shoot!)
In the coming weeks, you’ll get to meet each one of our cover model finalists individually, see all of the dazzling dresses, the amazing locale, the gorgeous bouquets, the fabulous hair and makeup, and all of the wonderful accessories all caught by studioTHP Photography, in our upcoming blog post series, “Garden Party.” So stay tuned!
But wait…there’s more! We’re thrilled to release our Winter 2015 cover — out this week! — which features all three of our cover model finalists: Liz, Catherine and Allison!
