Chelsea Old Church Wedding
I knew Saffie and Zac’s Chelsea Old Church wedding was going to be a stunning day to photograph from my first contact with her and her Father as they started their wedding planning. Saffie’s Father is the Deputy Editor of the Daily Mail, and he was looking for the kind of story-telling that documentary wedding photography is perfect for. Having been a news photojournalist at The Times for 18 years, my photography style is documentary driven, and uses many concepts and techniques from journalism. Saffie and Zac’s story started with their preparations, with my colleague Emil meeting the groomsmen at their brunch, while I covered Saffie getting ready at home.
Emotional Wedding Ceremony
Once everyone was ready, a Routemaster London bus ferried us all to Chelsea Old Church where Zac and the groomsmen had been greeting guests as they arrived for the ceremony. Photography during the ceremony was restricted to photographing from the back of the church, but I was able to agree with the Reverend to photograph Saffie’s arrival from the front of the church. Between Emil and myself, I’m glad we had both angles covered as Saffie walked down the aisle with her Father. There were plenty of emotions for us to capture! Following the ceremony, guests made the short walk across the River Thames to the reception at the Bowling Green in Battersea Park, while we did some quick family group photos at the church and then some portraits in the park.
Marquee Wedding Reception in Battersea Park
Lucinda from Orange Events made the day work like clockwork, and the Bowling Green at Battersea Park looked stunning as the wedding party arrived for the reception. The speeches were entertaining and heartfelt, followed by the First Dance and the start of the party. Enjoy Saffie and Zac’s preview slideshow from their stunning Chelsea Old Church wedding.
