Old Marylebone Town Hall Wedding Photography London



My editorial, cinematic approach to shooting your London wedding aligns perfectly with Marylebone as I love the urban documentary photography we can capture as you arrive, then formalise your vows, and emerge back into the bustling hubbub of central London. It makes such a beautiful contrast – the zoom-in on the intimacy of two people making such a promise, against the backdrop of one of the world’s largest cities.

From the dark wooden panelling of the larger Westminster Room to the muted blues and greys of the more intimate Knightsbridge Room with its central fireplace, there is likely a ceremony space which will fit the bill for your wedding aesthetic. When we come outside again, we capture this sense of your special moment in time – your new bond showcased against this beautiful, historical venue.

Time flies inside this beautiful venue, so choosing a London wedding photographer with experience is useful here. There isn’t a huge amount of time dedicated to heavily art-directed shots, so I have a shoot-on-the-go approach here, with my foreknowledge of where presents the best opportunities. We will make the most of the beautiful white stone staircases leading up to the ceremony rooms and also the main central staircase, as you move towards your wedding, and celebrate straight after!

Every couple is allowed to walk down the main stairs outside Marylebone Town Hall for a confetti shot. These exuberant, joy-filled shots are so filled with personality, that I always encourage my clients to take the opportunity. But with confetti I can’t stress this enough – the more the better! Always choose biodegradable confetti – flower petals are the most sumptuous and beautiful choice, in my opinion. Choose a classic mix, or for something a little more refined, choose a supplier such as Cotswold Confetti, who have options such as creamy white dried jasmine and exquisite pink hydrangea petals, or choose Petals and Roses’ “Pick and Mix” confetti, where you can select up to five colours of petals to perfectly match your wedding colours. We can also spend a few moments on some intimate shots of the newlyweds at this point – I always enjoy including Marylebone’s iconic lions! The backdrop of Palladian columns and archways in that elegant and clean stone create the most beautiful editorial frames, and there is always a beautiful display of seasonal flowers or foliage at the entrance to take advantage of.

After that whirlwind, we’ll jump in a black cab together and capture some shots of just the two of you, buzzing with your union, as we head off to your next venue.
