Best Pre Wedding locations London

 As I do quite a few pre wedding shoots in London I often get asked about the perfect locations.

Well, to start with I’m going to talk a little about the timing. Last time I googled London has a population of just over 8 MILLION people. That’s a lot. Not to mention the tourists which flood the streets in the summer and autumn… So timing plays a part on pre wedding shoots. With sunrise and sunset being the best times – or the quietest times with the best light.

I tend to schedule London pre wedding shoots for week days, because as you might imagine the weekends are chaotic.

With that in mind here are my top 10 locations for London pre wedding shoots.

St Paul’s Cathedral

It’s pretty rare that I come to London and don’t stop my St Pauls Cathedral. It’s an iconic building in London (with an amazing history.) Whilst security is pretty tight there are some top spots on each side of the building. I love the columns, the flagstones and the gardens and it’s a great spot for sunset.





Paternoster Sq

This is probably my favourite spot – a modern sculpture that can get some great light if you time it right. It is a bit of a 1 spot wonder, and there are only so many photos you can take here – but it’s a it different and looks great.






Embankment+Big Ben

As maintenance work is being carried out on Big Ben and the houses of parliament it’s not a great choice as a backdrop. With scaffolding it’s a bit of an eyesore at the moment. That said I don’t think it looks ‘that’ bad but most people don’t bother these days which is understandable

La Cabane Beach Club Wedding - Albert Palmer

 My first La Cabane Beach Club wedding and it was a scorcher! Megan and Gary decided on a wedding in Marbella because it’s a place they spend a lot of time. It’s a really beautiful part of Spain and the travel happily coincided with my Mas Torroella wedding photography in the North of Spain. The day started out at the 5 star Hotel Los Monteros where Megan and Gary both got ready. Megan wore a Kate Fearnley veil. The ceremony was held at Iglesia de Nuestra SeƱora de la Encarnación. It is a church like no other I have visited! Whilst the architecture inspires a serious atmosphere the priest was extremely friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of laughs during the ceremony and it was great to photograph. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the ceremony although I shouldn’t have worried as it followed a pretty traditional catholic mass. 

Yorebridge House Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

Gemma and Ricky recommended me to Amy & Phil after their wedding at Casa Cornacchi. I had a blinding drive up to North Yorkshire with amazing views. I love visiting new wedding venues and exploring new areas. Yorebridge House wedding photography was made all the more easier by incredible views and epic weather. It’s such a beautiful part of the world and I had blast! They got married at Askrigg Church. The children of the village stuck to tradition and tied the church gates closed. The traditions that the bride and groom have to pay the children sweets to untie the gates. I don’t see this at enough weddings although I guess you need a village of children who are free on a Saturday to make it work! Guests then travelled from the church to Yorebridge House on a big London double decker bus. They chose they venue because they love the outdoors of North Yorkshire and it is close to where Amy grew up. We had an incredible time and I remember the speeches which were epic! A massive than...
