Chris and Mason’s wedding at The Asylum Chapel in Peckham was everything this iconic South London venue does best - intimate, expressive and full of personality.

From emotional vows beneath the chapel;s famous stained glass windows to pints, speeches and dancing at The Lord Nelson afterwards. It was a day full of genuine moments and brilliantly brilliant people.

A Ceremony Full of Feeling

Their ceremony inside the chapel felt cinematic without trying to be. Light filtered softly through the stained glass while guests leaned in, laughed and wiped away the odd tear.

One of the reasons couples choose this venue is that the space carries emotion naturally. You don’t need heavy styling or complicated setups. The backdrop already has depth and character.

Confetti on the steps afterwards?
Loud. Chaotic. Perfect.

EVERY WEDDING HAS ITS OWN STORY

From Chapel to Pub: A Proper Peckham Celebration

One of my favourite things about weddings at The Asylum Chapel... You walk out of one of London's most unique ceremony venues... ...and five minutes later everyone is outside the pub with a pint.

How I photograph weddings here


When I photograph an Asylum Chapel wedding, I don’t over-direct or stage moments.

I let the venue breathe. I let you enjoy it. I capture what unfolds naturally - the reactions during vows, the laughter in the aisle, and the questionable dance moves later on.
