Relaxed, Documentary Photography at Marylebone Registry Office
If you're getting married at Old Marylebone Town Hall and want wedding photos that feel natural, relaxed and genuinely reflective of the day, you're in the right place.
I’m a London wedding photographer specialising in documentary coverage at registry offices across the capital — and Marylebone is one of the most iconic. From quick weekday ceremonies to packed confetti celebrations on the famous front steps, I photograph weddings here without turning them into a performance.
No awkward posing.
No production.
Just your day as it happens.
Wedding Photography at Old Marylebone Town Hall
Old Marylebone Town Hall is one of London’s most recognisable registry venues. The architecture, grand entrance and constant flow of ceremonies create a unique atmosphere.
I’ve photographed weddings here in: The Westminster Room, The Marylebone Room and The Paddington Room
Each space feels slightly different.
The Westminster Room is largest and can hold up to 100 guests.
The Marylebone Room can hold up to 12 guests - it's a classic room with walnut-panelling.
The Paddington Room suits very small ceremonies and feels especially personal.
Knowing how each room works makes a difference - where to stand discreetly, how the light shifts throughout the day, and when moments are likely to unfold.

Confetti, Portraits & The Famous Steps
The steps outside Old Marylebone Town Hall are legendary for a reason.
They’re where the cheers happen.
Where confetti explodes.
Where hugs, laughter and relief collide.
Because ceremonies run back-to-back, timing matters. I know how to move quickly, gather guests efficiently and make the most of the short window available for group photos and couple portraits.
If you’re heading to a nearby pub or into central London afterwards, I adapt to the pace of the day without slowing it down.
Short Wedding Photography at Marylebone
Many weddings at Old Marylebone Town Hall are short and focused - ceremony, confetti, a few group shots and then off to celebrate.
I offer short wedding photography coverage (1–4 hours), ideal for registry weddings here. That means you can have professional documentary photography without committing to a full-day package if it doesn’t suit your plans.
LGBTQ+ Weddings at Old Marylebone Town Hall
Marylebone has long been a popular venue for LGBTQ+ weddings in London. I’ve photographed same-sex weddings here and understand how important it is for couples to feel completely comfortable throughout the day.
If you're planning a gay or same-sex wedding at Marylebone, you can expect relaxed, natural coverage without assumptions or templates.
Why Marylebone Is One of London’s Most Popular Registry Venues
Old Marylebone Town Hall is one of the busiest registry offices in London for a reason.
It’s centrally located.
It has iconic architecture.
The front steps are instantly recognisable.
And it’s become a favourite for both London couples and international weddings.
Ceremonies take place throughout the day, creating a constant energy outside the building. That movement makes it exciting - but it also means planning and timing matter.
Understanding how the venue flows helps keep your wedding relaxed rather than rushed.
What It’s Actually Like Getting Married at Old Marylebone Town Hall
Ceremonies here run back-to-back, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. That means organisation and timing are key.
If you're planning your wedding here, here are a few practical things to know:
Arrive early.
Guests gather quickly on the steps and multiple weddings may be happening within minutes of each other. A small buffer helps everything feel calmer.
Confetti timing matters.
Confetti usually happens immediately after the ceremony. I help position guests quickly so you get the shot without delaying the next couple.
Keep group photos simple.
Space on the steps can be limited. Smaller groupings work best. Larger groups can sometimes be photographed slightly to the side or nearby.
Plan portraits nearby.
Marylebone has beautiful surrounding streets with classic London architecture. Just a short walk away, there are quieter spots that feel more relaxed than the main entrance.
Winter weddings need smart positioning.
Natural light shifts throughout the day, especially in the Westminster and Marylebone Rooms. I adjust positioning subtly to keep images bright and clean without interrupting the ceremony.
Because I’ve photographed weddings here before, I know how to work within the time limits while keeping everything relaxed.
