6 Reasons I love Shooting Weddings at Chelsea Old Town Hall


Wedding Photography at Chelsea Old Town Hall

Chelsea Old Town Hall is a popular wedding venue in London, known for its elegant and historic architecture and central location. I’ve been a wedding photographer there for quite some time now and here are some of the many reasons I love it so much..


1. Beautiful architecture: This Grade II building in Chelsea, is a stunning example of Victorian architecture, with intricate details and classic design features. It has been lovingly restored and provides a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photography. I always love shooting in building like this. I love looking at the many backgrounds and the quality of the window light coming through. I aim to capture and utilize as much of this as we possible can for your wedding photography.

2. Central location: Chelsea Old Town Hall is located in the heart of Chelsea, at the end of the Kings Road. Making it a convenient choice for couples and guests who are coming from different parts of London. There are also plenty of hotels for everyone to stay in and lots of cool pubs and restaurants nearby. Many of whom will gladly host your wedding lunch/reception. A popular choice is The Ivy, and who doesnt LOVE their Glasshouse situated in their fabolous garden? And as a London-based wedding photographer it’s also super easy and convenient for me to get to by public transport.

Beaufort House is also another popular choice of nearby venue in Chelsea, and they have a function room with its own bar upstairs you can hire for your wedding celebrations..


3. Variety of ceremony rooms: Chelsea Old Town Hall offers a range of ceremony rooms to choose from, each with its own unique style and character. Whether you're looking for a grand and opulent space or something more intimate and cozy, there's a room to suit your needs. Here are some images I shot recently in the Rossetti Room and The Brydon Room.

4. Experienced staff: The staff at Chelsea Old Town Hall are experienced in hosting weddings and will work with you to ensure that your day runs smoothly. The are SO friendly to wedding photographers, and very helpful and accomodating allowing us to take the best wedding photography possible. To brides and grooms to be, they can offer advice and guidance on everything from the ceremony format to the catering options. They have always been super helpful and friendly to me and one of the reasons I love coming back.

5. Flexibility: The venue is flexible in terms of the type of ceremony you can have, whether it's a civil ceremony, partnership, or renewal of vows. You can also choose to have a religious ceremony in one of the licensed rooms.

6. The Steps Outside: And finally the steps outside! The famous Chesea Old Town Hall steps!! A perfect place for your group shots. And just LOVE confetti shots here!!

Old Marylebone Town Hall Wedding Photographer

During my first wedding at Marylebone Town Hall as a wedding photographer I remember thinking oh wow! The staff were SO friendly and helpful and I LOVED the different areas where couples can have their wedding photography. I’ve included a selection below of some of the different rooms, the staircase outside and some photoshoot opportunities to think about in the nearby area. Oh and both posed and non-posed images to give you an idea, and hopefully some inspiration!.

The Old Marylebone Town Hall (also known as Marylebone Registry Office) was built on Marylebone road in London from 1914 to 1920, and is a grade II listed building. Its grand entrance, with its sweeping staircase, is decorated with columns inspired by classic Roman and Greek architecture. Which can make for some awesome wedding photography.

Amelia and Alex, the first couple in the images below, chose the Westminster Ceremony Room to have their wedding. It is the largest of the 7 register rooms and can comfortably fit 100 guests. It is ornately decorated with wooden wall panels and ceiling decorations. The natural light entering from the front facing windows beautifully lights up the couple as you can see from these photos..

Wandsworth Town Hall Weddings: Capturing Modern Elegance in Wedding Photography

As a wedding photographer based in South London, Wandsworth Town Hall is just a hop, skip and a jump away from me. Wandsworth Town is the perfect register office for most South London-based couples as its conveniently located, has stunning classical architecture and a variety of wedding-friendly pubs and restaurants in the area. It also has nearby St George’s Park for those couples wanting a bit of nature in their wedding photography.

My job as a photographer on the day is to arrive 30 mins before the ceremony to take pics of the groom, family and friends as they turn up. Gives us time (weather-permitting) to make the most of the historic front of the building..

Wandsworth Town Hall Wedding Photography

Wandsworth Town Hall boasts 5 glorious ceremony rooms and here’s some info and pics for each one..

Wedding Photography in The Elizabeth Room

I’ve shot quite a few weddings in The Elizabeth Room over the last couple of years. One of the smaller rooms and a max capacity of only 10 people (including witnesses, photographer etc), The Elizabeth room is none-the-less small cozy and intimate. This is the one with the leather sofas! So all-round comfort for your guests. The fee varies from £58.30 to £181.50 depending on the day of the week and includes a simple, intimate ceremony and exchange of rings. You can even have your civil partnership here too.

Wedding Photography in The Victoria Room

The Victoria Room boasts a 25 person capacity. Here you can have a choice of ceremony, choice of music and a reading. Weddings cost £207.90 for a weekday and £228.80 on a Saturday.

Wedding Photography in The Alexandra Room

The Alexandra Room is a beautifully naturally-lit room so results in some awesome wedding photography. Here you can make personal vows, have a friend or family member do a reading and there is an aisle to walk down after your ceremomy. The prices here varies from £240.90 to £305.80 depending on the day.

Wedding Photography in The Grand Chamber

If your wedding party is on the large side - and Flo and Mike’s this summer was just that - this is the room for you. As the name suggests, the Grand Chamber is just that. A capacity of 100 people (again including photographer, guests, witnesses etc) it is an opulant and very super impressive for your wedding photography. Price here for a wedding is £446.60 for a weekday and £588.50 on a Saturday.

Post-Wedding Photoshoot ideas..

After exciting there is ample time for friends and family to gather for confetti on the steps out the back of Wandsworth Town Hall and lots more natural wedding photography..


Leaving the Town Hall and we can wander to the park or go straight to the pub! Monika and Connor opted for a small wedding celebration at The Brewers Inn literally opposite!

Wedding Photography at The Bedford Pub | Balham

As a local wedding photographer it was an absolute joy to shoot my first wedding party in The Bedford Pub! A local institution and a fab backdrop for any wedding photography or party. Caroline and Goncalo have roots in Scotland and Portugal respectively, so you can imagine we were all in for an absolute treat at this one, with the most fun-loving guests, a ceilidh band and a DJ to see everyone through dancing til 1am. Champagne, the tastiest Portugese red wine (if ONLY I could remember the name!!) and birthday cake ON top of an incredible three-course meal (hats off to the chefs at The Bedford) were also several of the many highlights of the day.

If you hire The Bedford for your wedding you have the choice of several function rooms. As Caroline and Goncalo wanted to pull out all the stops they hired the lavish Ballroom which was able to cater for their wedding breakfast and their party..

Mike and Flo | The County Arms Pub Wedding Photography

Standing on the edge of Wandsworth Common stands the historic Victorian pub The County Arms. The pub dates back to 1852 and has various spaces inside tailored to events of all kinds. Weddings are particularly expertly catered for with a choice of two rooms and a large garden. Perfect for your pre-dinner alfresco celebrations.

Following their wedding at Wandsworth Town Hall, Mike and Flo and their guests arrived at The County Arms in style - hiring a popular Routemaster bus! On arrival the couple and their guests mingled in a sectioned off part of the garden (weather was amazing thankfully!) where I was able to capture some natural and fun wedding photography..

Meg and Tim's Tower Of London Wedding Photography

As a retired Royal Fusilier, Tim was able and priviledged enough to tie the knot to his beloved Meg, in the Tower of London Chapel, and make the most of the historical setting with some wonderful wedding photography.
