  • Esther & Simon | The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe wedding venue

    Esther & Simon | The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe wedding venue

    I love a fun and relaxed London wedding, and Esther and Simon’s celebration at The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe was certainly that.

    They both prepared for the celebrations at the amazing Mondrian hotel on London’s south bank, which is just a short walk from their wedding venue, The Swan at the iconic Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. With the stunning backdrop of  St Paul’s Cathedral and the London skyline, they held their intimate ceremony in The Balcony Room with their friends and family, followed by plenty of food, drink and dancing. I managed to sneak them out for some couple portraits along the famous riverside, where their joy and elation was so obvious, they put a smile on the face of every tourist they passed!

    Esther looked so beautiful in her  Windsor and Eton Bride’s gown, and Simon looked pretty sharp in his  If The Suit Fits outfit. I had photographed their Hampstead engagement session a few months previously, so they were both really comfortable and relaxed in front of the lens.

    I would definitely recommend The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe wedding venue if you love all things London and want to raise a toast to love as the sun goes down over the Thames.

    Here are a few highlights from their wedding, which will give you a good idea of how I capture the day.

  • Bold & Minimalist Wedding Style | The Old Dairy London

      I am a huge fan of modern styling and design, so when Rebecca from Heart Shaped Weddings asked me to collaborate on a bold & minimalist wedding style shoot at The Old Dairy in East London, it was a no-brainer!

    We were also really excited to see the resulting images published on the fabulous wedding inspiration blog   Bridal Musings.  Styled shoots are a great opportunity to explore creative ideas and work with some of the best wedding suppliers in the UK. The theme for our shoot was Edgy Romance and we wanted to create some modern wedding inspiration for cool London brides and grooms to be. Using a chic minimal palette, we added modern monochrome details, relaxed florals from  Herbert & Isles, and a touch of glitter and neon. Our model Roxana wore some amazing bridal looks from the effortlessly-chic collection of Spanish label  Otaduy, along with loosely-plaited hair and a hint of glitter on her smokey eyes.  Paper Arrow Press‘s gorgeous Scandi stationery and  Claire Owen‘s minimal black and gold wedding cake completed the look.

    Here are some highlights from the shoot, but pop over to  Bridal Musings if you’d like to see more. It’s a great way to find inspiration for your own wedding, and a useful reminder that you can create any look you want: it doesn’t have to be the same as every other wedding. It’s your big day so it should reflect your inspirations and your own natural style. Pop me a quick email on siobhan@siobhanhphotography.com or call me on 07809575460 if you like my natural and minimal photography style, and I’ll send you a copy of my brochure and availabilty.
