Dancing down the Aisle..

Today we continue the list of seriously amazing songs for your wedding that you might never have thought of.

The links lead to youtube, but you could easily put together a spotify list as well.

Today, the vast majority of people don’t get married in a church. So far, I have only photographed three wedding in 7 years. This means that the traditional religious organ music that our parents and grandparents used doesn’t really suit most of us. Many people choose contemporary songs that remind them of a special moment with their partner, or one where the words speak to their heart. With that in mind, I have put together a starting list that would suit a modern bride’s walk down the aisle, whether you be on the arm of your father, both parents, one of your children, a sibling or even if you are walking down the aisle together with your fiance.

My own wedding, 30 years ago, I walked down the aisle in a church to Pachelbel’s Canon in D – it’s a beautiful piece of music that has many variations, and has been a wedding favourite for many years. You can find a stunning version here. My sister was married in a cathedral and had the Ave Maria, a truly beautiful piece of music for a church wedding.

Warning – this list MAY make you remember last wedding you went to, so maybe grab a box of tissues for the happy tears.
