Ceremony Rooms at Chelsea Old Town Hall

This beautiful central London town hall offers a variety of ceremony rooms, all uniquely styled to suit your different needs, whether you're having an intimate wedding or a more significant event.

As a recommended Wedding supplier at this venue, I have enjoyed photographing weddings in many ceremony rooms.

The Brydon Room

This bright room has pastel yellow walls and plenty of natural light. This room has plenty of space, so your wedding photos will feature various angles, providing a variety of pictures of you exchanging vows and rings. This room can seat up to 38 guests.

Rossetti Room

The Rosseti room is light and elegant, with timeless and classic mahogany furniture. This is the most popular room. Perfect for intimate weddings. Space is limited in this room, so I typically photograph the ceremony from the front of the room, near the registrar. This room can seat up to 12 guests.

The Harrington Room

This is a small room, perfect for intimate weddings, able to seat up to 8 guests.

Confetti photographs at Chelsea Old Town Hall

After your wedding, step outside in a cascade of colourful confetti; Chelsea Old Town Hall has the perfect icon steps for this beautiful moment. The flower decoration around the main door offers a beautiful background for any confetti pictures. Some of my most loved confetti pictures were taken here.

Please don't worry; I'll organise everyone for the confetti moment. For the most beautiful image, I recommend guests throw plenty of biodegradable, dry petals simultaneously. This will encapsulate a joyful moment and celebrate the newly married couple.

Group Photos

The picturesque front entrance of Chelsea Old Town Hall provides an ideal setting for group photos following your wedding. This can be, at times, a confusing and challenging moment. The external space around the town hall is limited, and King's Road, particularly in proximity to the town hall, can be busy.

But please don't worry; with many years of experience photographing Weddings, I will smoothly and calmly ensure that the Family group photos are done quickly and efficiently. Remember, this represents a unique occasion when all your friends and family are together, a special moment to be cherished for years. These pictures can be informal and fun. Capturing everyone present on your wedding day is undoubtedly a real treasure.

Practically speaking, it is advisable to contain the group wedding photos list to maintain engagement and avoid monotony. Designating a wedding party member to assist during the group photos is also advisable. Please remember these pictures will be treasured forever.

Couple Photos

After your wedding ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall, choosing a suitable location for your couple's photographs can be fun. Let me share with you a few possible places nearby, as I have photographed many weddings in this part of London before.

St Luke's Gardens, a few minutes away, offers calm green surroundings. Chelsea's elegant King's Road and Albert Bridge, only a short walk from the venue, provide timeless and unique backdrops with quintessential British charm.

Professional Couple Wedding photos are more than just an experience; they perfectly capture the joy and laughter of your unique love. These images can be printed and elegantly framed. But most importantly, they will become treasured memories for your future. They will preserve the essence of your magical union, ensuring you'll always have tangible memories of your wedding day.
