“You got amazing shots of us and our family and friends! We couldn’t believe how beautiful the photos turned out and are so happy with how you captured our wedding day”
Islington Town Hall wedding | London | UK
Vicky’s family is South American so the wedding was a big mix of cultures, which I’m told was a whole load of fun to plan! Their entrance song to the reception hall was South American which got everyone off their chairs, clapping and dancing along! Another special part was ‘hora loca’ (translated to crazy hour in Spanish). During the band’s break, out came the fancy dress hats and sunglasses and for all the guests to wear! We all danced to fun South American music (yes I joined in!) and inevitably ended up dancing in a conga line around the room! Everyone loved it and it got everyone up and dancing. I heard a few guests saying they wanted to do that at their wedding!
Why choose a London Assembly Hall as your venue?
Looking at wedding photography blogs online led us to discovering both Islington Town Hall and the Assembly Hall. They had enough capacity for all our guests plus we loved the look of them so immediately got excited. We were also happy to have all the venues located in the same place so no transport was needed.
Tell us about the wedding dress
The brief was a simple, elegant and classic wedding dress. Travelling to NYC for my cousin’s wedding I decided to use that time to go with my Matron of Honour and one of my close friends to try on dresses. I tried on loads but wasn’t too happy with them. Then finally the guys at the shop found the LAST dress left in stock which ended up being ‘the one’. It fit perfectly! I ended up taking it with me back to London and only had slight alterations. My mom then helped me accessorise it to make it look even more special.
What did you want from your London wedding photographer?
A mixture of relaxed and non-posed shots that were natural and captured the day as it happened. You were very relaxed and friendly. We had a great time during the engagement shoot which helped us get to know you and your style, so we were much more at ease during the wedding day. You got amazing shots of us and our family and friends! We couldn’t believe how beautiful the photos turned out and are so happy with how you captured our wedding day. Everyone in the photos looks natural and relaxed and that shows a lot about the type of photographer you are and how comfortable people feel around you. The colours in the photos show up beautifully and everyone looks amazing.
