Islington Town Hall

I am a big big fan of weddings at Islington Town Hall. Without a doubt it is one of my favourite places to photograph weddings. I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing a number of weddings there over the years but last year saw me photograph a record number of amazing London elopements or micro weddings as we like to call them in pandemic times.

First of all the town hall is stunning. Situated on the A1 running through Islington it’s a building you can’t miss. I always love the atmosphere outside the front while waiting to go in with the couple and their guests and that is always a nice time to start telling the story through wedding photography. Even if you are having a small wedding you can still have documentary wedding photography to give you some amazing memories.

Inside you have the grandest marble staircase going up to the council chamber where most wedding ceremonies take place. This beautiful and light room always has such a nice London wedding feel to it. And it’s perfect from a wedding photographers perspective as there is plenty of room to move around to get a wide selection of images and to get creative without distracting or disturbing anyone.

It also has to be said that the staff at Islington Town Hall are just incredible. They make every wedding special and have done a wonderful job of maintaining that sense of joy for couples getting married throughout the pandemic. They really are the best.

After your ceremony you have that beautiful art deco corridor that’s perfect for some couple photos while your guests get ready for confetti outside on the steps. Of course, on the way down we have to grab a couple on that staircase as well.

It’s then time for confetti with the town hall in the background and then the steps are absolutely perfect for your group photos as well.

The area around Islington Town Hall is PERFECT for some really fun and natural couple photos whatever the weather. The back streets and squares have all the backdrops you could possibly ever ask for and New River Walk isn’t a million miles away either. One of my favourite venues for small weddings The Canonbury Tavern is just a short walk away as well.

Basically in a nutshell Islington Town Hall has everything you could possibly need for a beautiful London wedding.
