Old Chelsea Town Hall & The Langham Wedding, London

A wedding all about close family as they assembled in London for Holly & Aaron and their daughter with just 15 guests before heading off the next day to the Dominican Republic to do it all again!

Two of my favourite London wedding venues: the opulence, lighting and romance of The Langham, London and the timelessness of London’s Old Chelsea Town Hall King’s Road which I’ve visited more times than I can remember over my years as a wedding photographer but still feel the thrill for every single couple when they make that exit onto those famous steps, even though every time I photograph a wedding there, I risk my life to get a wide angle shot from the middle of the road. I’ve decided that it’s the only place in London where as a wedding photographer, you can get away with stopping the traffic. Everyone stops to take in that spectacle and joyous just married moment!

Holly & Aaron chose for me to attend Holly’s prep at the Langham, the ceremony, a little walkabout through the Central London streets for some portraits of the newly-weds, followed by drinks before the wedding breakfast in a private room at the Langham.

Pictures below to give you a sense of how I create the story with natural, emotive and often humorous pictures within a variety of angles and compositions.
Such a very beautiful, relaxed wedding in two of London’s coolest wedding venues.
