A Winter Wedding at Merchant Taylors Hall, London

Frankie & Rob

Frankie and Rob’s wedding was one I’d been looking forward to for a long time - I first met them at their friends wedding where Frankie was a bridesmaid, so it felt really special to photograph their day. They both got ready at Merchant Taylors’ Hall before heading to their ceremony at St Botolph without Bishopsgate, right in the heart of the City.


On the way back to Merchant Taylors’ Hall, we stopped at the Royal Exchange with a bottle of champagne, where the February light surprised us all and made for the most perfect portraits. Back at the hall, the party really ramped up with the London Function Band keeping the energy high throughout - including an unforgettable moment during the meal when Frankie and Rob found themselves dancing on top of a piano, surrounded by all their favourite people. What a wedding to start a season on!
