RELAXED LONDON WEDDING AT HACKNEY TOWN HALL & PROVISION STUDIOS – KATIE AND MATT

"THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID TO HELP MAKE OUR WEDDING DAY - AND THE VISUAL MEMORIES OF IT - SO FUCKING WONDERFUL!"

When Katie and Matt first got in touch with me about their relaxed wedding in Hackney, I was so excited – they were planning the most relaxed urban wedding with friends, family and even dogs! Katie and Matt are the most fun people and I couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding!

The excitement before the wedding

I rocked up at Hackney Town Hall, where the couple had their first look, and it was really chilled, because everyone was in a good mood. Katie wore an awesome non-traditional dress by Self Portrait and Matt wore a proper nice suit from Jeff Banks and they looked so dapper. Katie and Matt opted to have no prep coverage in favour of more party time which is totally okay by me! I bloomin' love a party!

The ceremony

The wedding took place at Hackney Town Hall, and was a quirky ceremony in the town hall. They had a super fun reading about dogs, which everyone enjoyed. I'm not sure if it was on purpose but the registrar kept pausing for what felt like dramatic effect which had everyone gliggling!After the ceremony the couple danced back down the aisle together, and then they were showered with confetti. Katie & Matt hotfooted it in a car to the venue to finish the last bit of set up whilst I took a super fun walk through Hackney with the guests.

The party

The wedding reception took place at Provision Studios, which is a photography studio by day and under the overground arches. It was so unique.

For dinner they had proper wedding grub, and it was loved by all the guests. Katie & Matt sat me with guests which was so lovely! After dinner they had some wonderful speeches, then everyone hit the dancefloor and the party got started! Katie & Matt chose to bypass having a formal first dance and instead everyone partied on together!

Here’s their Relaxed Hackney wedding!
