Corinthia Hotel, Central London wedding photography

Every London Wedding I photograph is totally unique -that’s the beauty of having so many incredible wedding venues within one of the most interesting cities on the planet. This was my first time photographing a wedding at the opulent Corinthia Hotel, within a stones throw of the mighty River Thames. Being a central location I wasn’t surprised to see a massive Trade Union protest and march filing past the hotel as I arrived. Hoping it wouldn’t get too rowdy, I did what any documentary wedding photographer would do and incorporated it into the photography – it’s just another element that will take Hui and Jing back to the wedding day when they see the images.

After the ceremony in the Courtroom, we headed outside for a couple of group pictures and portraits, avoiding the still noisy protest, before heading back into the Ballroom for the evening meal and dancing. The Corinthia has a pretty impressive lighting setup, with very strong purple uplighters around the walls. While this gives a lovely warm ambience to the room, it can be pretty tricky to photograph. Luckily, between myself and the five man video crew, we managed to tame the light enough, especially during the all important First Dance.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day. Here’s even more Corinthia Hotel Wedding Pictures.
