Devonshire Terrace wedding photographer

By London Wedding Photographer, Wedding VenuesNo Comments

To be a Devonshire Terrace wedding photographer is to experience a great deal of what is so special to photograph weddings in and around London. For Naomi and Stephen who’s reception was set there, it was the perfect setting to share their day with friends and family, and was only a relatively short walk from Bevis Marks Synagogue where they had their ceremony. Bevis Marks itself is the oldest place of Jewish worship in the country, beautifully lit only by candles, and as we have photographed there many times it is going to be the subject of a seperate blog post in itself.

Both Naomi and Stephen elected to prepare themselves at the Hilton Tower of London with a beautiful roof top terrace to relax in, not that there was much time for them to relax with all their preparations! They smiled throughout with the happiness and anticipation of their special day though.

After a beautiful and touching ceremony at Bevis the entire wedding party walked through the streets of central London past Liverpool Street station and on to the very impressive Devonshire Terrace. Built originally in the early eighteenth century as warehouses for silk, mother of pearl and ivory products, it was remodeled in 2008 to include an incredible glass roof and now makes it a fantastic all weather venue.

As you can see from the photos these guys were naturally in love i.e lots of very heart felt kissing – and who are we to say stop?!

For drama and spectacle it’s hard to beat as a London wedding venue, and we can understand why London loving couples like Naomi and Stephen would choose to celebrate there. The courtyard can take 160 seated and 350 standing. We were very happy to receive this email from Stephen yesterday regarding the wedding. So lovely to have the feedback:

“Dear both, just wanted to say a big thank you for sending the pictures to us. They are fantastic, you have captured the day so well.Thank you again and I will make sure that I  like your Facebook page. Best regards, Stephen.”

They carried those ballons all the way from their ceremony at Bevis Marks to the reception at Devonshire. Full blog posts coming soon. Only twenty posts behind! We don’t blog every wedding as it’s more important to us to work on our images and get them out in good time to our naturally eager newlyweds!

Langham Hotel wedding photographer

By London Wedding Photographer, Wedding VenuesOne Comment

It’s a great place to visit as a Langham hotel wedding photographer, but the very first time I went to this fantastic hotel was with my accountant some years ago. On that day we had lunch in central London and the book keeper extraordinaire wanted to arrange a weekend break for himself and his wife at the hotel. We stood and chatted while he booked himself a double room as a romantic surprise, well, to my surprise and my accountant Richard’s horror the receptionist then wished us both a lovely stay when we were due to come back for the weekend together! It made me laugh at the time! Anyway it’s always great to be back, and here are a few shots from Layla and Sean’s wedding there.

Both live and work in Norwich as dental doctors but they wanted to come down south and have a classic London wedding to remember. The Langham close to BBC headquarters has been temporary home to stars of film radio and television for generations. When the Langham was built in 1867 it was the largest and most modern hotel in London with England’s first hydraulic lifts, and bathrooms and water closets galore for the time.

The London Langham Hotel is not just rightly famous for it’s luxury and service, but also the fact it was heavily featured in two Sherlock Holmes stories and has accommodated some very famous guests. Well Sean and Layla of course on their wedding day to name two, but also the like of Napoleon, Oscar Wilde and Princess Diana.

For the wedding itself the ceremony was held in the hotel itself as it’s licenced to do so, and it was an interesting and emotive fusion of civil, Catholic and Persian ceremonies. Afterwards while the very many guests enjoyed their champagne and canopies, Joanna and I took twenty five minutes with the newlyweds to shoot some shots one hundred yards around the hotel, and then back for some images around the reception area.

While twenty five minutes is not a great length of time we are used to this amount and always mange to achieve way more in the time than we should!

For such a prestigious hotel it’s important to choose your wedding planners and co-ordinators carefully, and we would recommend taking a look at Perrys the Wedding Company for their experience professionalism and personality here: Perrys The Wedding Company
