Elegant London wedding — London Wedding Photographer | documentary + editorial wedding photography

Oh, where do I even start with this beauty? There are some weddings that don’t need any words - the pictures do all the talking. But I’m going to tell you this - if you are looking for a perfectly elegant London wedding venue - the Queens House is should be your number one choice! IT doesn’t get more elegant than that.

But now, let me just introduce you to Rachel and Martin, who got married at the Queens House in Greenwich, London and then walked to their reception venue - the one and only Cutty Sark! Both venues (if you have a list of the best London wedding venues, these two need to be at the TOP of your list) are part of the Royal Museum of Greenwich and if you want to have an unforgettable, unique experience, wonderfully organised and really - just beyond elegant - you should really check them out. But, let’s go back to the lovely couple! You will see in the photos that their day was filled with love and laughter. Surrounded by their friends and family, Rachel and Martin exchanged their vows in the stunning ceremony room at the Queen’s House (the floor! the views!). This was followed by champagne reception and then - a surprise announcement that the reception venue is a short walk away.

No one knew what was coming and to everyone’s delight, after a 10 mins walk - we entered the Cutty Sark. Cocktails on the deck and then a wedding breakfast underneath the ship.

The food, the drinks, the awesome cheese station (and oh, believe me - it was beyond delicious!) was provided by the Blue Strawberry - a Michelin Star level of events catering. The cake was designed and made by Simons Bakery and when you see a picture of it (scroll down), you will know it was a work of art.

Ok, as I said - no words needed. Here are the photos:
