A Chic London Wedding at Old Marylebone Town Hall Registry Office
I’m so thrilled to share more about Emily and Ant’s stunning London wedding at Old Marylebone Town Hall registry office.
Back in April, I had the honour of photographing their intimate civil ceremony, where just 20 of their closest guests gathered in the heart of London to witness their vows. There is something incredibly special about choosing Old Marylebone Town Hall for your wedding — it’s iconic, elegant and effortlessly stylish.
Capturing a chic London wedding here requires more than simply documenting the day. It’s about telling your story with intention. For Emily and Ant, that meant blending timeless portraiture with a modern, editorial edge — reflecting both the sophisticated atmosphere of the venue and their own relaxed, joyful energy.
From traditional wedding portraits outside the famous steps to contemporary editorial frames in the surrounding streets of Marylebone, every image was created to feel graceful, romantic and completely personal to them.
