Kensington and Chelsea is spoiled for choice when it comes to glamorous London wedding venues. As the home of chic elegance, it's a magnet for successful celebrities as well as those wanting to be seen in the right place.
Kensington and Chelsea Register Office is possibly the best known of London wedding locations the world over. It's not that this Grade II listed building is particularly special. It's all about the location. It's located on the fashionable Kings Road, which, along with Carnaby Street is where the swinging sixties originated. Fifty years later and thanks to the names that have changed their vows here, it's still one of the coolest places to get married. Kensington and Chelsea Register Office has two main rooms, the Rossetti room near the entrance that holds up to twelve people and upstairs the larger Brydon Room can host up to forty people including the couple. For wedding photographers the dim interior lighting with corresponding color cast can be a challenge and so the best place for shots are either just inside the entrance or on the steps leading up from the Kings Road. Thankfully you do not have to be an A-list celebrity to get married here but it's still a good excuse for a pair of sexy Christian Louboutin's.
The Roof Gardens on Kensington High Street have been owned by Richard Branson since the 1980s and recently given a substantive face lift. For many years it's been famous for its resident Pink Flamingo's and far reaching views across London. It's an oasis in the middle of London, with 3 stunning gardens and a pond covering 1.5 acres of prime rooftop space. The gardens were originally laid out in the late 1930s and provide a visually stunning and highly original location for a wedding ceremony and reception for up to five hundred guests. London wedding photographers always enjoy working here because it has natural light in abundance and almost everywhere you look it is there's something striking to photograph the couple with.
Kensington Palace and the Orangery is yet another exciting and stylish wedding venue expertly and professionally managed by Historic Royal Palaces. Set in Kensington Gardens to the West of Hyde Park, Kensington Palace offers an incredible setting. Apart from Kensington Palace itself along with its historic and current residents (including the late Princess Diana) there is a delightful sunken garden with a central pond that looks fantastic all year round. The Orangery itself was built in the early 1700s as a summerhouse and overlooks a beautiful lawn that is divided by an avenue of Bay trees connecting the Orangery to Kensington Palace. Guests can take a private 'Enchanted Palace' tour, play Croquet on the lawn and even marvel at a fireworks display in the evening after dinner. Once again for a wedding photographer light here is an important consideration and the Orangery does not disappoint. The spacious, white marbled, high ceilinged Orangery with its large windows along the front façade ensures that there's a mass of natural light to enhance the photos of the couple and their guests.
