Wedding Photography at Claridges
Lloyd January 19th, 2009
Although Stacey and Jon had just 11 guests at their wedding there was nothing understated about the chosen venue. From a photography point of view I think Claridges is very difficult to beat as a location for a wedding reception.
The Bride and Groom and all their guests stayed at the Mayfair art deco building, not just on the nght of the wedding but also the previous evening. Whilst Stacey and her family prepared in her suite, Jon and his two brothers headed down to the Chelsea Register Office ready for the ceremony at 3.30pm.
At 2.45pm the bride and her father, Gary, set of from Claridges in a vintage Rolls Royce drove down Park Lane, around Hyde Park Corner and eventually along the Kings Road to the register office. The bride made her entrance to the sound of José González’s song, ‘Heartbeats’ and as the newlyweds signed the register we heard James Morrison’s ‘You Give Me Something’.
After the ceremony everybody returned to Claridges for a Champagne reception in the hotel’s famous tea room before moving into the Gordon Ramsay Restaurant where they enjoyed private dining in the Davies Room.
Stacey’s bouquet that features in several of the photographs here was made by Jane Packer.
The couple are now enjoying a honeymoon on the beautiful Caribbean island of St Barts.
