London Wedding Elopement Inspiration ⎮London Wedding Photographer⎮Destination Wedding Photographer
Big Ben/Elizabeth Tower and Westminster, River Thames, London Eye, Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, The Shard and The London Underground
In the heart of one of the world's most iconic cities, a luxury wedding inspiration-style elopement unfolds against the backdrop of London's most celebrated landmarks. Being a destination wedding photographer in London, this had been a vision in my mind for quite some time, think Londons iconic bulidings, world-famous locations, red buses and phone boxes, and much more! I really wanted to pack as much into this shoot as we possibly could to inspire future couples who are looking to elope in London or who are wanting to add another element of magic to their London destination wedding photography.
Our wonderful hair and make up team working their magic, at the studio near St Paul's, on the beautiful Estelle to create a luxury glam bridal look created by Mehwish working under the talented Bridezilla brand, paired with a timeless, classic and sophisticated bridal bun crafted by Kellie, owner of Bridezilla. Before we left on our route around London, we just had to use the gorgeous Parisian-style balconies which overlook St. Pauls Cathedral, creating some iconic shots.
We took a relaxed stroll by St. Paul's Cathedral, capturing Estelle and Younes love amongst it's historical grandeur. The contrast of modern romance against the cathedral's classical architecture set the tone for this inspiring photoshoot.
Over London Eye, we decided to take on an editorial vibe, with this prominent landmark serving as a majestic backdrop. Here, we managed to get Estelle and Younes to jump onto a world-renowned red double decker bus where we managed to blend romance and fun, encapsulating the joy of love against the backdrop of one of London's most recognisable symbols.
Over at the bustling streets of Westminster, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament provide a breathtaking backdrop across the River Thames. I, a London based destination wedding photographer, really wanted to capture the warmth and romance and the feeling of love between the couple all whilst being in one of the busiest cities in the world.
We also wanted to push the creativity with modern direct flash photography in the London Underground. When you have a vision in your head and it pays off it is a truly amazing feeling knowing you 'got the shot'. I played with slow shutter allowing the couple to be frozen in time whilst capturing the motion blur of the 'tube' train going past. Epic!
We couldn't do London without incorporating the incredible backdrop of Tower Bridge, with views of the Shard, a wedding venue also, glistening over the River Thames, the vision was to capture editorial and elegant moments. along the busy streets of London.
Through each location and every shot, my aim, as a destination wedding photographer in London, was to encapsulate not just the beauty of the couple's love, but also the essence of London itself – its history, its grandeur, and its undeniable romance and allure. In this iconic city, against its most celebrated landmarks, love truly knows no bounds.
Working alongside fellow photographer and friend Jennie Colbourne, we both worked hard to bring a team of amazing suppliers together to showcase our creativity in the awesome capital city of London. A full list of the suppliers is at the bottom of this post.
