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!!

Walthamstow Town Hall or Waltham Forest Town Hall as it is now known is a Grade II listed municipal builing in Walthamstow, East London. Anna and Daz hail from the area so chose the venue for their wedding and made the most of the external architecture for their wedding photography.

Eleni and Josh's London Wedding Photography | Chelsea Old Town Hall | The Phene Chelsea

Loved these two from the first moment we made contact. Eleni knew she wanted her wedding photography to be more documentary and natural in style so I guess hiring me was a no-brainer!

After a quick visit to The Exhibitionist Hotel to shoot some groom prep shots, I hot-footed it over to The Chelsea Cloister Hotel to meet the bridal party.

The Exhibitionist is a unique art boutique hotel in South Kensington, and has the most amazing backdrops for your wedding photography. Check out this corridor shot..
