Welcome to Rachel & Tom’s super gorgeous wedding at the stunning Vinopolis in London. The bride-to-be and her entourage got ready at The Grange, St Paul’s Hotel. Rachel was exceptionally chilled throughout the morning, having lots of giggles with her girlfriends as they munched on chocolate covered cornflake cup cakes and sipped champagne – essential fuel for a wedding day! The hotel did have stunning views of the London skyline and despite the cold, blustery weather we did manage to get in a few non-windswept photos with the iconic Shard as a backdrop.
We caught up with the boys at Vinopolis, where the nerves seems to at bay and we were able to have a few pre-ceremony pics. The setting of the wedding was stunning. The old brickwork under the arches was illuminated by lots of great uplights and from a photography point of view we absolutely loved the dramatic, contrasting lighting effects.
The fun ceremony was sealed with a great celebratory sky punch by the groom which had everyone in hysterics.
The champagne flowed throughout the reception and all the lovely guests nattered away and congratulated the happy couple.
We did managed to squeeze in a little time with the newly weds to get some fab shots of them together and by the time we got outside we were graced with a little bit of blue sky. We got a few shots in and around Borough Market and stumbled across the incredible umbrella feature which was a perfect setting for photos.
The rest of the afternoon and evening was jam packed with fun, which was exactly what the couple wanted – nothing too formal and everyone having a giggle.
Best bits from the day include the absolutely brilliant best man speech with the fan club letter and the show quiz, the groom’s Dad’s band playing loads of great tunes, then joining the band on stage and singing an Arctic Monkey’s song, a pair of flying boxer shorts, the great grub (seriously yum!!), all the wonderful London-themed table favours and decorations, brilliant shapes on the dance floor and of course the really fun photo booth with fun The Mighty Booth bunch. That was the source of much amusement later on in the evening and it seemed rude not to have a few fun pics in the booth too!
Really hope that you enjoy looking at a few of Rachel & Tom’s photos x
