Catherine and Timothy's Relaxed Old Marylebone Town Hall Wedding in London


Cath and Tim chose to celebrate their wedding at Old Marylebone Town Hall because they wanted to give Cath's family a proper London wedding experience, and it couldn't have suited them better. With beautiful summer weather and guests gathering outside before the ceremony, everything felt relaxed from the very beginning. As a documentary wedding photographer at Old Marylebone Town Hall, it's always a pleasure returning to such an iconic venue.


The ceremony took place in the Westminster Room, the largest ceremony space in the building and one that's filled with lovely natural light. It created the perfect setting for an emotional ceremony, with two thoughtful readings and plenty of genuine moments between Cath, Tim and their guests. They're exactly the sort of couple I enjoy photographing most, focusing on spending time with the people around them rather than worrying about the camera. That's always the best recipe for beautiful photos for people who won't like to pose.

From the Famous Steps to a Relaxed Reception in Putney


After the ceremony we made the most of the sunshine outside, with confetti, family photographs on the famous Town Hall steps and plenty of time for everyone to chat before heading across London to continue the celebrations in Putney. It never felt rushed, which meant there was lots of opportunity to capture the conversations and little interactions that often become favourite memories later on. If you're looking for a documentary wedding photographer at London venues like this, allowing time to enjoy the day always makes a difference.


The reception carried on with the same easy-going atmosphere, as friends and family settled in to celebrate together. One unexpected highlight for me was bumping into my best friend, who happened to be celebrating his wedding anniversary with his husband in the very same venue. It was a lovely coincidence and the perfect end to a brilliant day. Weddings like Cath and Tim's are a reminder that being a Natural wedding photographer is all about telling the story as it unfolds, capturing genuine moments without interrupting them. As a documentary wedding photographer at Old Marylebone Town Hall, days like these are exactly why I love what I do.
