Wedding Photographers in Greater London

Photographing a London wedding is as much about logistics as it is about the camera. Moving between a register office, a portrait location and a reception venue can take longer than expected in traffic, so a good London photographer will help you build realistic travel time into the day.

Popular backdrops

The South Bank and the bridges over the Thames, the royal parks, the views from Greenwich and Primrose Hill, and the quieter streets of areas such as Hampstead and Richmond are all used for portraits. Busy landmarks can be crowded at weekends, so photographers often suggest early or later times, or less obvious corners nearby. Some locations may need permission for professional photography, so ask your photographer to check.

Light in the city

Tall buildings create shade and reflections that change through the day. An experienced city photographer will know how to use these, and how to work indoors if it rains.

Booking tips

• Book early for summer Saturdays, as the best photographers fill their diaries well ahead
• Ask whether they are comfortable on public transport if you plan to travel by Tube or bus
• Check how many hours are included and what happens if the day runs late

Prices vary with the day, season and coverage, so compare packages carefully.
