Gherkin Wedding Photos – Jennifer & Alex’s Fantastic Day
Jennifer and Alex asked me to take their Gherkin Wedding Photos after their friends recommended me. I was excited to do it, as despite shooting weddings all over London, I had never visited the Gherkin. Alex and Jennifer wanted natural, storytelling coverage that captured the feel feel and emotion of the day. We did shoot a few groups and posed pictures but they were shot really quickly, so they could get back to enjoying the party.
My day started at Jennifer’s hotel with her getting ready.
The girls gifts were all personalised perfume from Penhaligons.

The view from the Gherkin is amazing and the children were fascinated with leaning on the windows (while the adults went pale and said – Don’t lean on it!)

Guests gathered for a quick drink before heading upstairs for the ceremony in the roof of The Gherkin.

Jennifer looked amazing as she made her way down the aisle.

It was downstairs for the drinks reception after the wedding ceremony. Guests were treated to champagne, canapés and a great view.

The tables were all different landmarks visible from the top of The Gherkin.

My client’s didn’t want loads and loads of groups and posed pictures, so we did a few simple groups and some stuff with the two of them. Shooting this huge group made my knees knock a little. Especially as I’m up on table to get this angle and there was only a very tiny barrier which I had to lean over.
Love the simplicity of this.
Loved the plain background on these images.

Adore this one. I love the way she is looking at him.

The couple make their entrance to applause (and loud whistles!)

Everyone went back downstairs for the speeches.
Congratulations Jennifer & Alex. If you would like me to shoot your Gherkin Wedding Photos, get in touch, I would love to hear about your plans.
