01
Explorer’s Penthouse and the Royal Penthouse
The couple prepared at the Corinthia, using the Explorer’s Penthouse before making a few portraits in the Royal Penthouse. Large windows and high views allowed the London setting to appear before anyone left the hotel.
The morning remained focused on the couple and their families, with the architecture supporting rather than dominating the photographs.
02
A religious wedding at Thomas Guy Chapel
The ceremony took place at Thomas Guy Chapel near London Bridge. Its stained glass, stone and intimate scale created a very different atmosphere from the hotel.
That contrast helped the story: contemporary luxury for the preparations, historic calm for the vows and open city space afterwards.
03
The river, London Eye and Westminster views
After the ceremony, the couple made time for a focused city portrait session. The London Eye and river gave the photographs a recognisable London character without requiring a long detour.
The route was kept efficient so the couple could return to their guests while the light and excitement were still strong.
04
A polished reception with a relaxed centre
Corinthia’s interiors provided a clean setting for dinner and evening coverage. I photographed the room, but spent more time on conversation, speeches and the shifting relationships around the tables.
The result feels like a real wedding in a luxury hotel, not an architectural shoot with a wedding added to it.
05
Balancing penthouse detail with a moving London story
The Corinthia penthouses provide polished interiors, but the day becomes more interesting when those rooms are connected to the chapel, the river and Westminster. I use the hotel for quieter preparation photographs, then widen the visual language once the couple moves into the city.
Portraits around central London are kept efficient. A few deliberate viewpoints are stronger than a long stop at every landmark, especially when guests and the reception are waiting back at the hotel.
06
Protect the ceremony timing before adding Westminster portraits
The Corinthia penthouses, Thomas Guy Chapel and the river create natural variety, but crossing central London can consume the time intended for photographs. The ceremony arrival and return to the reception should be fixed first.
Choose one compact portrait route around Westminster rather than trying to cover both banks of the Thames extensively. Hotel interiors remain the backup when traffic, crowds or weather change.

Planning photography at Corinthia London
Send your Corinthia room plans, chapel ceremony time and reception schedule. We can work out the travel allowance first and choose a portrait route that fits between those commitments.
