London wedding venues – photography guides & galleries
Calm, modern wedding photography for London’s grand hotels, town halls and landmarks. I help you make the most of your chosen venue — from light and timings to portraits and evenings — without turning the day into a photoshoot.
Explore quiet-editorial photography guides to some of my favourite London wedding venues – from Claridge’s and The Savoy to Somerset House and Old Marylebone Town Hall. Each page combines practical notes with real galleries, so you can see how your day might look and feel.
Venue types
Grand hotels and ballrooms such as Claridge’s and The Savoy.
London landmarks with strong architecture, including Somerset House and Spring.
Iconic town halls like Old Marylebone Town Hall for elegant civil ceremonies.
Intimate restaurants, private dining rooms and city spaces where good design and atmosphere matter as much as the photographs.

Choosing a venue is about more than capacity and location; it shapes how your wedding will feel and how the photographs will read for decades. Light, architecture, room flow and even how guests move between spaces can all make a difference — whether you’re saying your vows in a wood-panelled salon at Claridge’s, walking the steps at Old Marylebone Town Hall or dining against the river at Somerset
My approach is modern and editorial but always calm. I work primarily in digital, with a film-inspired sensibility and the option to layer in film when it serves the story. Town hall steps, courtyards and ballrooms each ask for something slightly different; I’ll guide you through how to use your venue’s best corners for portraits, where to keep group photographs efficient, and when to step away for a few minutes of quiet — without overloading you with technical detail or long lists.
Below you’ll find in-depth guides and galleries for a few of the London venues my couples most often consider.
London has more beautiful spaces than any single page can hold. Alongside these landmarks, I also photograph intimate weddings at other town halls, galleries, members’ clubs, private homes and restaurants across the city. Some are bold and architectural; others are quietly minimal and design-led.
This Venues section will grow over time with new guides and galleries . Even if your venue isn’t listed yet, the same calm, editorial approach applies — and I’m always happy to share honest thoughts on how it might work for photography.
How I work with venues
Every venue is a conversation between light and design. In daylight I seek open shade and luminous tones that flatter skin and fabric; in historic interiors I balance ambient warmth with discreet supplemental light. After dark, refined flash keeps images clean and elegant—never harsh. Portraits are guided calmly and efficiently so you remain present with your guests; documentary coverage of everything else stays unobtrusive and true to atmosphere.
Venues, planners and hotel teams are at the centre of a smooth wedding day. I approach them with the same calm professionalism I bring to photographing you: clear communication beforehand, respect for each space’s guidelines, and a flexible, collaborative attitude on the day. The aim is always for the photography to support the event, not compete with it.
When we talk about your venue, we’ll keep things simple: where the light tends to be softest at different times of day, how long we realistically need for portraits, and which part of the schedule works best for group photographs so people aren’t waiting around. We’ll build a plan that fits your priorities, whether that’s maximum time with guests, a short town hall window before dinner, or a second, quieter portrait chapter later in the evening.
Because I work across London’s town halls, hotels and landmarks, I’m used to different layouts, loading bays, security points and house rules. That experience means you can lean on me for gentle, practical suggestions: how to structure the timeline, when to build in a ten-minute pause, and which corners are worth protecting in the schedule so you end up with images that feel both beautiful and true to the day.

FAQs
-
No — these are simply some of the venues my couples choose most often, and where my calm, editorial approach is particularly well suited. If your venue isn’t listed, you’re still very welcome to enquire, the same way of working applies whether we’re in a grand hotel, a town hall or a favourite restaurant.
-
Most of my couples prefer one or two short portrait windows rather than a long session away from guests. As a guide, 20–30 minutes is usually enough for a focused, editorial-feeling set of portraits in and around a venue; if you’d like both daylight and evening portraits, we can split that time across the day so it feels gentle and unhurried.
-
If I haven’t worked at your venue before, I’ll either visit in advance (where practical) or make a detailed plan from floorplans, imagery and conversations with the events team. In all cases, I’ll arrive with enough time to walk the key spaces on the day itself, paying attention to light, logistics and where we can create the most flattering images.
-
Many of my couples split their day, for example: ceremony and confetti at Old Marylebone Town Hall, then portraits and dinner at a hotel, private club or restaurant. We’ll build a simple route and timings between the two, allowing space for a few portraits en route while still arriving on time and relaxed at your reception.
-
Yes. Even if you haven’t yet booked, the venue pages are designed to help you picture how a day might unfold: where people gather, how rooms can be used, and what kind of images each space lends itself to. They’re a starting point for ideas, not a set of rigid rules.
-

-
I work primarily in digital, for flexibility and consistency, with an editing approach that keeps the palette soft, modern and film-inspired. Where timings, light and logistics allow, I’ll layer in a small amount of film for certain portraits or scenes — particularly where its handling of highlights and texture adds something distinctive. Film is never used for the sake of a trend; it’s a quiet enhancement within an already cohesive digital gallery, not a separate aesthetic that competes with the rest of your images.
