Chelsea Old Town Hall | Sarah & Shreya

A London Wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall

Sarah & Shreyas chose Chelsea Old Town Hall for their London wedding ceremony - and it suited them perfectly.

There’s a certain energy outside that building. Couples arriving. Guests gathering on the steps. The hum of King’s Road carrying on around you while something important is happening inside.

Their ceremony was focused and personal. Close family. Close friends. No overproduction. Just the two of them standing up and making it official.

Registry office weddings work because they’re stripped back. There’s no hiding behind spectacle. It’s about the commitment.

Confetti on the Steps & London in Motion

After the ceremony, we stepped out onto those iconic Chelsea steps.

Confetti. Hugs. Traffic rolling past. Strangers slowing down to watch.

That blend of celebration and everyday London life is what makes a Chelsea wedding different. You’re not tucked away somewhere scenic - you’re in the middle of it.

I stayed observant rather than directive. The laugh mid-confetti. The exhale after the ceremony. The “we actually did it” moment before heading off into married life.

Day Two at Doggetts on the Southbank

Instead of cramming everything into one day, Sarah & Shreyas did something smarter.

They celebrated at Doggetts Bar on the Southbank the following day.

No ceremony schedule. No time pressure. Just a proper gathering.

Guests overlooking the Thames. Drinks flowing. Conversations stretching longer. The kind of reception where people actually relax because the big moment has already happened.

Doggetts works brilliantly for this. Central London views without stiffness. Space to mingle. A laid-back atmosphere that fits couples who don’t want their wedding to feel like a corporate event.

It felt like a continuation, not an afterthought.

My Approach to a Chelsea Wedding

When I photograph a Chelsea Old Town Hall wedding, I don’t stage London - I let it frame you.

City weddings move fast. Taxis pass. Pedestrians stare. Weather changes.

That’s the texture.

I stay calm within it and focus on:

The look during the vows.
The squeeze of hands on the steps.
The shift in atmosphere when the formalities are done.

No production line posing. No dragging you away from your guests.

Just natural coverage that reflects how the day - and in this case, the weekend - actually felt.
