I recently had the absolute pleasure of working once again with the iconic 116 Pall Mall on their latest editorial shoot — a project designed to celebrate both the arrival of a new wedding season and the much-anticipated return of Bridgerton. The brief was clear: create a luxurious, romantic wedding editorial that felt timeless, cinematic, and unmistakably grand, while still feeling relevant for the modern couple.
As a London wedding photographer drawn to editorial storytelling, historic architecture, and refined details, this collaboration felt like a perfect match.
116 Pall Mall Wedding Venue: Historic Grandeur in the Heart of London
Set just moments from Trafalgar Square, 116 Pall Mall is one of London’s most prestigious wedding venues. Steeped in history and elegance, the building is defined by soaring ceilings, ornate mouldings, grand staircases, and beautifully proportioned rooms that lend themselves effortlessly to luxury weddings and editorial photography.
What makes 116 Pall Mall wedding photography so special is the way light moves through the space — soft, directional, and endlessly flattering. Every corner tells a story, whether it’s an intimate portrait framed by period detailing or a dramatic composition beneath crystal chandeliers. For couples dreaming of a wedding venue that feels both regal and romantic, 116 Pall Mall offers a truly timeless backdrop.
A Bridgerton-Inspired Wedding Editorial
With the new season of Bridgerton as inspiration, this editorial leaned into the world of Regency-era romance, interpreted through a contemporary, fashion-forward lens. Think refined silhouettes, elegant textures, and a sense of understated opulence rather than theatrical excess.
The aim was not to recreate Bridgerton literally, but to capture its vibe — romance, drama, intimacy, and beauty — translated into a modern luxury wedding aesthetic. Soft florals, sculptural styling, and carefully curated details worked together to elevate the space while allowing the venue’s character to shine.
The couple’s styling was intentionally timeless, ensuring the imagery feels enduring rather than trend-led. This approach reflects how I photograph weddings: editorial yet emotional, polished yet deeply personal.
Capturing the Editorial: A Photographer’s Perspective
From a photography point of view, this shoot was all about composition, texture, and storytelling. I focused on creating imagery that felt cinematic and layered — moments that could belong in a fashion editorial while still resonating with real couples planning their weddings at 116 Pall Mall.
Each frame was composed to honour the architecture of the venue while keeping the connection between the couple at the heart of the story. These are the kinds of images that not only inspire but also help couples envision what their own wedding day could look like within this incredible space.
This blog post showcases a handful of my favourite images from the shoot, but there is so much more to come. The full editorial will be shared across my social media channels very soon, so please keep an eye out for the complete story.
