Wedding Photography at RIBA in London

Lloyd June 14th, 2010

Front of RIBA building


The weather held out on Saturday as I photographed a wedding at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London. Anna and Miso held their ceremony and reception at the Grade II listed building which is located in Portland Place just up from Broadcasting House.

The ceremony itself took place on the marble steps that link the reception area with the first floor and the stairs were decorated with rose petals and glass vases containing candles. Miso is Slovakian and Anna from Cardiff so a lot of the guests had travelled from overseas or over the Severn Bridge from Cardiff.

During the reception a plate was smashed on the terrace at RIBA after which the bride groom swept the pieces into a dust pan. This is a Slovakian tradition and symbolises how the newly weds will cooperate in their new life together.

The Bride’s dress was made for her by Augusta John with accessories from Luella’s Boudoir. The flower displays and bouquets were supplied by Silver Ivy.
