London Elopement Inspiration
There are so many of us who have dreamy visions of London micro weddings.
I definitely do, I just love the Big City vibe with its beautiful architecture, breathtaking views, busy roads, underground and much more, the City you never get bored of. London is one of the best cities for an intimate wedding in my eyes, it always has something to offer for everyone.
It's a perfect place to say "I DO" and have a big celebration or just to plan a low-key ceremony that’s just the two of you and have the most romantic day of your life.
I hope this blog will help and give you some ideas on what it could look like.
This stunning winter editorial delivers few of my favourite photography spots in the city for elopement inspiration.
So this time we shot in one of the most stunning locations and little studio for a few extra French vibe images, to showcase the timeless romance and beauty of London weddings.
Michaela & Joe
We started with Michaela and Joe shooting at the HLD STUDIOS with access to Parisian-style balconies and an ‘industrial-style’ rooftop area withbreathtaking views to St. Paul's Cathedral. Studio is perfect for shoots that require more intimate shots and give such an elegant editorial vibe.
Michaelas wore the insanely beautiful dress from the Garden Whispers collection by Katya Katya London Dress designer. The lace brings even more elegance, romance and beauty to her look with JOE complimenting her perfectly in a relaxed black tie. Oh, I love a black tie wedding look.

For M & J's second look we went with something more relaxed, fun and an evening party vibe but still kept it a bit elegant and romantic at the same time. Included a little pearly handbag which I think is going to be a new trend for 2024. Such pretty and cute detail to the elegant look.
After the studios of course we went to explore the grounds of stunning St.Paul's Cathedral which is known as London icon and a national treasure. The 17th Century Cathedral with its world-famous dome, columns and steps gives us such a gorgeous, romantic and elegant backdrop.

We had a second couple with slightly different looks, a mixture of 90s and 2024. Liene wearing .... dress
We stayed at the studios first then headed to Westminster Bridge, one of the most picturesque locations in the city. Made a few stops and shot underground too, it was definitely a bit of fun with hundreds of people on a tube.

To finish the day, we enjoyed Stunning views of Big BEN. who does not love a bit of BIG BEN, an icon of the London skyline, Big Ben is one of the English capital's most recognizable landmarks, so if you ever visited London it is on the MUST to visit list for sure.
By the way it was freezing and Line had her City style coat, which was perfect for that look , very classy and stylish at the same time.
We were so lucky with the evening winter light. It was the perfect way to end our walk and capture the romance and magic of London’s streets.
