Serving Hackney

Capturing weddings in Hackney

Hackney is a creative east London borough. Across Islington, Tower Hamlets and the rest of Greater London, we cover the ceremony, the reception and the party with a careful eye. We are equally at home at a city townhouse, a stately home or a country barn.

We are at ease with grand country-house weddings and intimate registry-office ceremonies alike. We are a reassuring presence through the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, so everyone relaxes and the day flows. We keep the calm of the vows and the energy of the evening reception in equal measure.

From the ceremony to the reception, we keep the day flowing across Greater London, and Hackney, a creative east London borough, is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Hammersmith and Fulham and Haringey. Venues we know well in and near Hackney include Hackney Town Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall.

Hackney is a creative east London borough known for its independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations link the borough via London Overground services. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Victoria Park, one of London's oldest public parks with lakes and open lawns, with The Hackney Empire, a Grade II* listed Edwardian theatre close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

The vows, the rings and the first kiss

The confetti line outside is pure joy, and we are ready for every handful thrown. At the heart of the day are the vows, and we capture them close but never intrude on the moment. The signing of the register is a chance for a few natural, unhurried photographs.

The confetti outside the ceremony is pure joy, and we capture every handful thrown. We capture the receiving line, when the couple greet their guests one by one, with warmth. The toasts, the speeches and the cake cutting each have their moment, and we photograph them all.
