Our love of intimate weddings and after parties started back in 2020. It’s an approach to weddings I absolutely adore: meaningful ceremonies with closest family and friends, followed at a later date by epic celebrations. Katie and Jonathan did this beautifully, realising after they’d had their civil wedding that they loved the idea of hosting an unforgettable celebration in a contemporary space in London. Having just 6 weeks to plan everything, they turned to luxury Jewish wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J to curate and plan their dream wedding!
When we feature weddings from the award-winning York Place Studios I always feel like I’m sharing something secret. It feels so special to be letting you into the world of these most admired London wedding photographers. Add to that the beauty of Colette and Rhys’s day, and I feel insanely proud of this wedding website and the incredible photographers we feature. Because York Place Studios is one of the most internationally recognised and respected brands in the world of wedding photography, they’re sought after by couples looking for authentic wedding photography as well as speaking at photography events worldwide.
If you don’t need a photo of your bridesmaids all lined up, this is for you. If you’re a little lost in wedding photography choices and just want gorgeous photos that are utterly real, this is for you. If you want to immerse yourselves in every second of your wedding day, and not have to worry about posing for photos, you’ve come to exactly the right place.
We’ve got a brilliant collection of images from Aoife and Rory’s Clapton Country Club wedding to share with you. But they’re different from many images you’ll see on wedding blogs and in magazines. They’re so full of life, vibrant and authentic. They’re by some of the very best documentary wedding photographers in the world: London-based York Place Studios.
A curious question: does life stop for weddings? Should it? In some senses, a wedding day is utterly different from any other. Having all of your favourite people in one space, seeing them celebrating together, meeting each other for the first time perhaps, even shedding a tear or two – is huge.
The rollercoaster of emotions you might feel, from nervousness to overwhelm to wondering if your heart could ever be this full of joy.
That’s weddings.
But there’s even more than that. Life doesn’t stop for weddings.
The backdrop to this lovely wedding is breathtaking. Gorgeous couple Emma and Jack were married at the London Wetland Centre, where they said their vows in the glass-walled observatory overlooking lush greenery and calm waters. The location is spectacular, the images by Buckinghamshire-based documentary wedding photographer Andy Siddders are simply perfect.
