Islington Town Hall - the Perfect City Wedding Venue
J & J's wedding at Islington Town Hall was a perfect blend of love, history, and spontaneity. They first met through mutual connections at work, became best friends, and held onto that friendship for 18 years and the rest is history. Their story is a testament to how love can grow over time, and capturing their journey as a London based documentary wedding photographer was an absolute privilege.
Islington Town Hall is such a stunning venue for weddings, with its grand architecture offering a perfect backdrop for documentary wedding photography. J & J's ceremony felt intimate yet lively, the space filled with warmth and genuine emotion. As a documentary wedding photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than being able to capture these kinds of moments—authentic, and full of meaning.
The best wedding car - A Vintage VW Camper!
How about a vintage VW camper van as your wedding car? I think this is my favourite wedding car yet and the couple just loved it! It was thanks to the lovely folks at Lucky Penny Weddings who were just great on the day.
The weather was typical for a British autumn, with patches of sunshine and a bit of rain. During the couple shoot on the way to Belanger, their reception venue on Islington Green, we faced some of that rainy British charm. But honestly, the rain added a unique quality to their photos, especially with the clear umbrella I brought along, just in case. It's always my goal to make sure no unexpected weather stops the day from being beautifully remembered. A clear umbrella means no strange colours or shadows, allowing me to capture the candid moments without distractions.
J & J were fantastic to work with, taking everything in their stride, from the drizzles to the sunshine. That's what I love most about candid wedding photography—it's not about constructing an idealised version of the day. It's about documenting real life as it unfolds, with all the unpredictability that comes along. J & J's day was beautifully imperfect, with spontaneous smiles, laughter, and genuine moments shared between family and friends. The documentary style really shines on occasions like this, allowing couples to see their day as it truly was—memorable, meaningful, and completely theirs.
