Hints & Tips for fab London Weddings
Planning a wedding in London is a dream for many couples, with its iconic landmarks, stunning venues, and vibrant culture. As a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing numerous beautiful weddings in this magnificent city. Here are some valuable hints and tips to ensure your London wedding is as brill as poss!

Bit dull but don't underestimate the volume of traffic! Consider a Routemaster or iconic black cabs to get your guests to your party and definitely book in advance.
London is packed full of unique venues - go for somewhere that resonates with the two of you be that your favourite restaurant or a venue in an area you love.
Embrace the chaos of London - it'll add loads of charm and colour to your wedding portraits.
If you are travelling in between venues should you pop in some flats? Which let's face it will probably come in useful on the dance floor too.
Check out the brilliant suppliers I have worked with over the last 13 years that'll help make your wedding day and the time leading up to it - excellent!
Be wholeheartedly, unapologetically you. Nothing is obligatory at a wedding so if the thought of it is making you twitchy - then ditch it.
