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..

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. Obviously they also wanted a natural wedding photographer to take candid pics too - so was very happy to help!

Brixton’s Ritzy Cinema: A Unique Wedding Photoshoot Location

The Ritzy Picturehouse, or Ritzy Cinema as it is know to locals, is a Grade II listed building and an iconic setting for your Brixton wedding photography/wedding photoshoot. If you step insides you can see the blend of old world charm and modern design. It hosts many community events and as such has held a place of cultural significance in Brixton for many years. I don’t think your Brixton wedding photography would be complete without it!!

Following their wedding at Lambeth Town Hall, newly-married Suzanna and Hussan asked Brixton Wedding Photographer Christine Constantine to grab some snaps outside the Rizty Picturehouse in Brixton.

The couple had met for their first ever date outside the Ritzy several years earlier, and so it was only apt to have some of their Brixton wedding photography outside. The Ritzy Picturehouse proved its ever endearing popularity by paying tribute to the newly-weds by putting a special message on their board.. Check out some of my favourite wedding images here..

Marrying in Brixton?

Whether you hire the whole cinema for your wedding or just opt for your wedding photography outside, The Ritzy Cinema is an amazing choice for those couples wishing to capture the essence of Brixton in their wedding photography.

As a Brixton wedding photographer I have shot at Lambeth Town Hall many times. Check out more of my wedding photography here..

The Asylum Chapel Wedding Photography

After learning about The Asylum Chapel and its history and unique backdrop for wedding photography, I was super-thrilled to be asked to be Jessica and Richard’s asylum chapel wedding photographer.

The Asylum Chapel, situated a short walk away from Peckham’s Queens Road Overground, is a breathtaking example of a wedding venue with stained glass windows, a high Georgian ceiling and a crumbling facade. For couples looking for a truly unique intimate and atmospheric location for their wedding and wedding photography this is the one for you!

History of The Asylum Chapel

Despite its name, The Asylum Chapel was not an actual psychiatric facility. Back in its day the word ‘asylum’ actually meant ‘sanctuary’ and was a home for elderly retired pub landllords. More like an almhouse which were important places for those Georgian and Victorian eldery who’s only alternative was the street.

The Asylum Chapel was established around 1827 and had many benefactors, whose memorials are still there, visible to this day. Despite being heavily bombed during the second world war, the carvings and glass stained windows survive to this day and The Asylum Chapel after some refurbishments, had been granted Grade II status.

And thanks to Maverick Projects the asylum chapel is available for events, art projects and weddings.

As I said, a wedding photographer’s dream! Here are some of my favourite images..

Hampton Court Wedding Photography - Aisling and Anthony

Hampton Court is a wonderful place to marry and also to arrange your wedding photography. I’m a natural wedding photographer and I’m in love with the historic features on offer in just one small area.

If you are looking to have your wedding photography in Hampton Court here are a few options you have:

The Mitre Hotel, Hampton Court

The Mitre Hotel situated just minutes walk from Hampton Court train station, is a gorgeous river-side hotel and wedding venue. Steeped in history and abosolutely fabulous for your wedding photography. The terrace overlooking the Thames is elegantly decorated with many plants and olive trees, giving it a very warm, mediterranean feel. There are also steps to go down onto the riverside with room for further seating for your wedding reception or event.

Hiring a boat?

Aisling and Anthony hired a boat to continue their champagne reception, and it made for some super-cute wedding photography. If you’re having a river-side wedding its well worth considering this little touch.

Check out these images I took of awesome Aisling and Anthony walking away from The Mitre and over Hampton Court Bridge..

Hampton Court Palace Weddings

If you’re a fan of romantic weddings with courtyards, gardens and sweeping staircases then Hampton Courth Palace could be the venue for you. There are four historic areas within the Palace to hold your wedding: Little banqueting House, The Garden Room, The Great Hall and the Orangery.
