I recently photographed a truly special wedding at the historic St Pancras Hotel in London. This iconic venue is one of the city’s finest gems, boasting timeless architecture, elegant ceremony rooms, and an atmosphere rich in history. It’s a place that feels both grand and intimate, making it a perfect choice for couples who want something stylish yet deeply personal.

This particular celebration was a wedding between two brides, a warm, joyful day that was all about love, family, and togetherness. Around 30–40 of their closest friends and family joined them, which gave the whole event a wonderfully relaxed and intimate feeling. As someone who appreciates smaller, meaningful weddings over large and formal gatherings, I found this day especially moving.

Why St Pancras HOTEL is a Wonderful Wedding Venue

What makes St Pancras Hotel weddings so special is the combination of history, elegance, and practicality. The ceremony space has soaring ceilings, rich period features, and soft natural light that creates a romantic atmosphere. It’s a venue that feels quintessentially British while still offering couples the flexibility to make it their own.

Just steps away, the dramatic staircases, historic corridors, and grand façade make the perfect backdrop for portraits. When I first met Lauren, the venue’s event organiser, she kindly walked me through these spaces; her professionalism and warmth made the whole experience seamless. The staircases, in particular, are breathtaking and lend themselves beautifully to stylish, timeless wedding photography.

An Inclusive, Joyful Celebration

What stood out to me the most was how relaxed the two brides were. The registrars from Camden Town Borough played such an essential role in this; they were warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, which set the perfect tone for the ceremony.

Personal Details That Made the Day Unique

There were so many heartfelt touches:

• Florals: elegant, textured arrangements that filled the ceremony room with colour and romance.
• Wedding cake: lovingly baked and decorated by the bride’s daughters, a creative, personal gesture that carried so much meaning.
• Atmosphere: the balance of grandeur and intimacy made every moment feel personal and genuine to the couple’s story.

These are the kinds of details I adore as a photographer because they make each wedding feel distinctive, full of personality and heart.

A Venue Full of Charm and Possibility

Another element that makes St Pancras Hotel weddings stand out is the venue's versatility. From the cocktail bar to the decorated entrance, every corner offers inspiration for creative photography. Even the downstairs space, where couples can book a high tea, has its own gorgeous atmosphere.

This wedding was a beautiful reminder of why I love working with gay and lesbian couples in London. The celebration wasn’t about scale or spectacle; it was about love, family, and meaningful connection. For me, that’s what wedding photography should always be about.
