A Stylish East London Wedding

A WEDDING AT TOWN HALL HOTEL + BISTROTHEQUE

I’d like to invite you to take a scroll through the Wedding photography gallery of Charlotte + James. This was one of my favourite weddings to photograph because of the energy of the couple and their guests. It took place at two iconic East London venues: the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green and Bistrotheque.

They chose Town Hall Hotel for their intimate ceremony, with its charming and historic setting. The Art Deco interior of The Council Chamber was an iconic backdrop for the ceremony - I love the green seating. Their celebrations continued, making a stylish exit in a Bubble taxi to the stylish Bistrotheque. The trendy east London venue is incredible for a wedding, it offers easy elegance with a warehouse vibe. The evening felt like a fashion event, especially because everyone was dressed so beautifully. The bride looked breathtaking in a contemporary Bon Bride dress, caped veil and evening Jacket, while the groom matched the fashion forward energy in a tailored suit by Simone Rocha. Every detail, from the couple’s attire, to the atmosphere at both venues translated into uncomplicated sophistication.

They wanted their Wedding photography to feeling journalistic and authentic, yet playful. Keeping far away from anything traditional or formal. They were the most funl and welcoming crowd, which reflects in these images.
