The Asylum Wedding Photography | Anna + Stuart

Wedding photos at The Asylum

Happily I had a second opportunity to photography a wedding at The Asylum, the marvellously unique London wedding venue that has become one of Londoner’s favourite and coolest places to say I Do in the city.  The ceremony building itself is a grade 2 listed chapel built in 1826 for the use of the residents of Caroline Gardens.  Bombed in WWII the chapel has been derelict since then and reduced to it's simplest elements, but it still provides the most beautiful scene for creating some picturesque imagery of your day and a magnificent aisle to walk down.

Hidden London

 It's essentially four walls and a roof with a raised alter platform at the end but the light is divine and the painted walls create a dreamy and muted backdrop for your couple portraits.  You can no longer have a sit down meal at the chapel but you can stay for drinks and canapés after, which is what A & S did before heading off to The Lordship pub for a hearty pub supper.  Oh, and did I mention that Anna wore a purple gown?  Perfect.
