The small Mayfair Library wedding of Sandhini and William had just their closest friends and family, as they were planning bigger celebrations later in the year.
William arrived in a very smart suit and Sandhini was her colourful self for their Marylebone Room civil ceremony.
Friends and family had a good catch up while Sandhini and William checked their details with registrars.
One of the guests had a fabulous illustrated book of The Owl and the Pussycat for her reading during Sandhini and William’s ceremony.
William gave his godchild a pat on the head as he and Sandhini walked down the aisle towards the registrar.
Family and friends watch Sandhini and William take their vows.

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.

The Marylebone Room wedding of Tas and Ravi in Mayfair Library was on one of January’s cold but stunningly beautiful winter days, allowing us lovely portraits in the adjacent Mount Street Gardens.
Tas and Ravi’s wedding ceremony was with their closest family and friends. Tas wore a beautiful red sari and carried a bouquet of red roses and gypsophila or baby’s breath and Ravi had a red rose buttonhole on his blue wedding suit.
Ravi and Tas walked into Mayfair Library’s Marylebone Room together to meet their family and friends. Ravi’s mother held a box with their two wedding rings for safekeeping, bringing it forward at just the right moment in the ceremony. 
See – married! Tas and Ravi show off their shiny new wedding rings and their witnesses sign the register while other family members congratulate them on their marriage.
Tas and Ravi walk down the period staircase at Mayfair Library while their guests are outside with confetti.
Tas + Ravi walk several blocks to Atul Kocchar’s Michelin starred restaurant Benares for their wedding breakfast. They had a portrait next to the water feature they love before I left them to celebrate with their guests.

Rice throwing and readings in Greek reflected the groom’s family heritage at the Cambridge Register Office wedding of H and C.
Their story starts with a waiting room full of friends and both their family, through their English and Greek readings, with rice throwing and onto their reception venue with home-made bunting and table names of Beatles songs.
I’ll let their wedding photographs tell the story of their day.

The Greenwich civil wedding of Anna and James with their closest friends and family had a buzz about it that reflected their easy smiles and happiness. Anna, originally from Sweden, wore a classic cream dress and jacket with bouquet from Manchesters Flowers. James wore a cream buttonhole in his cream linen suit, also from Manchesters Flowers.
Their wedding took place at Woolwich Town Hall, the base for the registrars for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, that is Greenwich Register Office. We waited in the magnificent Victoria Hall, with its turn of the century architecture including high domed ceiling and beautiful paintwork.
Anna carried a bouquet of white roses and greenery tied with a white ribbon and James wore a white rose buttonhole.
We did some portraits on Victoria Hall’s stunning stairs before Anna and James’ civil wedding ceremony. 
There was a lot of laughing and joking from the guests during the Greenwich civil wedding, putting Anna and James at ease. 
Greenwich registrars, like other London registrars, use archive-quality indelible ink in the registers. The best man keeps Anna and James’s rings safe on his own fingers. 
Anna and James exchange vows with her father looking on from the front row. 
And finally they are announced man and wife – celebrating with a traditional kiss, to the delight of their family and friends.
Anna and James’ guests throw confetti to celebrate the marriage of Anna and James. Congratulations!

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.
