Candid Wedding Photography in the Brydon Room


Kensington and Chelsea Register Office has long been a sought-after venue for couples looking for a meaningful yet understated location to celebrate their love. The registry office’s heritage and charm give each wedding a touch of classic London elegance, and it’s no wonder that royalty and famous names like Judy Garland, Hugh Grant, and Pierce Brosnan have chosen to exchange vows here, specially in The Brydon Room. It’s a space that blends the historical weight of London with the intimacy of a private ceremony, making it ideal for couples who appreciate the beauty in simplicity. The Brydon Room holds up to 38 guests and one of the things I like about it is that there is aisle created between the rows of chairs which works well for a traditional procession to the head of the room for the actual ceremony.


V and N’s day was a wonderful example of what documentary wedding photography is all about. V looked effortlessly elegant in a simple, sophisticated dress, and N brought his own style with a hint of playfulness—a nod to his personality, sporting Lidl socks for himself and his children. This understated detail was a brilliant reminder that even the smallest choices say a lot about a couple’s character and sense of humour. After the ceremony, we moved by cab to Soho for a reception at Quo Vadis, where V and N welcomed their guests with warmth and genuine appreciation. The heartfelt speeches brought laughter, a few tears, and plenty of memorable moments for everyone present.
