Harrington Room wedding at Chelsea

Tuesday, May 19, 2015 | Chelsea Register Office, London wedding, Register Office

Not everyone chooses to get married at 9am on a Monday. But then when Monika and Giovanni planned their wedding at Chelsea Register Office, virtually nothing was conventional. They travelled from their home in Germany to London, one of their favourite places, had two Chelsea Pensioners as their witnesses and a wedding shoot on the South Bank.

We started at a coffee shop near Chelsea Register Office before their Harrington Room wedding. Monika had a classic pale pink wedding bouquet.

We took a black cab to the South Bank for some wedding portraits. At 9.30am on a Monday, central London is wonderfully empty.

Brydon Room wedding of Amrita + Raghav

Friday, March 21, 2014 | Chelsea Register Office, London wedding, Register Office

Amrita and Raghav were the most rare of couples – being early for their Brydon Room wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall‘s Brydon Room. So much so, that registrar Dean checked his watch at the start of the civil ceremony to make sure it didn’t start early.

After their family congratulations, Amrita, Raghav and I jumped in a black cab found for Selfridges for some wedding portraits with a London flavour. They chose Selfridges because it is Amrita’s favourite shop and it’s where we could find some of the capital’s red, double-decker buses.

We made the most of some moments of bright sunshine for portraits outside Selfridges and then used the red buses as a background for some more traditional portraits, showing off Amrita’s beautiful gown and smile. We had to wait a few minutes for the buses to appear – and then just like the saying, along came three at once.

Once their chosen wedding portraits were complete, Amrita and Raghav took another black cab to a family lunch.

There was champagne, much admiring of Emma-louise’s ring and much laughter and love. And after a lovely hour or so in the warmth, Emma-louise and Graham headed out into the snow and I waved goodbye to them – heading off for a hot honeymoon.
