Somerset House Wedding Photographer - Luxury Editorial in the Heart of London
Timeless portraits across Somerset House’s neoclassical courtyards and luminous interiors — including celebrations hosted at Spring Restaurant
Why Somerset House
Somerset House is London heritage with contemporary life - neoclassical façades, colonnades and Thames views in a single address.
The Portico Rooms and Navy Board Rooms offer elegant, light-filled interiors for ceremonies and dinners, while the River Terrace and the Fountain Court give dramatic architectural scale for portraits and receptions. It’s a setting where editorial photography feels effortless: graphic lines by day, atmospheric grandeur by night
Spring at Somerset House
Spring — Skye Gyngell’s restaurant in the New Wing — hosts intimate ceremonies and refined receptions. The Salon (garden dining room) suits up to 36 seated; the Main Dining Room hosts up to 116 seated (around 150 standing), with areas for a reception and dancing. Spring is also licensed for civil ceremonies. Its generous daylight, soft textures and seasonal styling photograph beautifully for an elegant, modern look
Light, architecture and flow
In daylight I seek open shade and luminous tones along the arcades and balconies; indoors I balance ambient warmth with discreet, refined light so skin and fabrics remain elegant. After dark, I use refined flash to keep images crisp and atmospheric — never harsh. We’ll plan a brief portrait window in the colonnades, a graceful route through the courtyard, and efficient family groupings so you’re quickly back with your guests.

“Stunning pictures of our wedding day...she made sure everyone had their pictures even when we were being a little difficult! Which only shows how experienced Kseniia is in what needs to be done on the day to get great pictures afterwards. The colours, the detail, the variety, all the pictures are great. Highly recommend.”
