Wedding Photography at One Whitehall Place – London

Lloyd September 28th, 2009

Another gorgeous day in London and another fun wedding. Jessica and Paul first met at Uni and 12 years later here they are getting married!
I started the day with the bride at her parents house in Kent. Once she had finished getting ready, with the help of her five bridesmaids, we all set off in a gorgeous red 1950′s bus and headed up to Westminster for the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony and the wedding reception were held at One Whitehall Place, one of London’s grander wedding venues. On arrival in we encountered a small hitch; the road leading to the venue was closed off because of the presence of one of the biggest cranes you are likely to see. So, we all disembarked around 100 yards down the street and the girls, pulling their overnight bags behind them, made their way to the wedding. As you can see from the photograph a group of workman looked on with interest (but not enough interest to help with the bags!).
Jessica didn’t grumble though, she just picked up her dress and marched on in her siver ‘LK Bennets’.

During the ceremony there were two readings. One of them, a poem called ‘The Invitation’, was particularly touching and you can read it on the web site of the author, Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

After drinks on a terrace that over looks Embankment the wedding breakfast was served upstairs in the Library and followed by a night of dancing.

The newlyweds are now off on a 3½ week honeymoon taking in various destinations including Las Vegas and Hawaii!

   Love the lighting in the reception photos – and the red bus rocks! Some really nice photos, especially the one of them coming down the stairs and the one with her bridesmaids helping her get dressed. Nice photographs!

    Lloyd, great images. I love the last image of the little boy with the camera taking a pic of the bride. A future wedding photographer may be!

    Oh, now that is where a wedding should take place…wow. I still haven’t made it across the “pond” yet. This makes me want to take a trip to London now!
    What is the wedding breakfast all about? Do they have it in the morning before all the activities happen?

    My favorite is the B&W getting ready photo. You captured the moments with the ladies perfectly. Great wedding photo collection here.
