You might be surprised by how many brides still flip through the glossy pages of wedding magazines to gather inspiration for their big day, says Charlotte-based wedding photographer Robert Burns II.

But as with many types of publications, bridal magazines are increasingly moving to digital formats — swapping that satisfying page-turn with a swift click. Burns recently ventured into the world of digital publishing himself, with his new annual bridal publication, BRIDE Magazine.

On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Robert talks with the Ledger’s Cristina Bolling about what inspired him to launch Bride Magazine, what's trending in wedding photography, locations and styles, as well as tips for couples planning their big day.

This podcast was produced by Lindsey Banks.
