Trinity Buoy Wharf Weddings

I’ve photographed a lot of weddings at Trinity Buoy Wharf. They tend to be parties with a wedding thrown in for good measure. Warehouses, the Thames, brightly coloured containers and a large red boat: plenty to work with before anyone arrives.

The photographs here are from weddings I’ve shot over the years. For the spaces available now, start with the venue’s current wedding information.

The Chainstore

The Chainstore can look daunting when it’s empty. Matthew and Erica made a living room in one corner, complete with sofas, a Persian carpet and a standard lamp. Laura and Matt hung a bespoke neon sign surrounded by flowers. I’ve also seen it left largely alone. A roomful of your friends does quite a lot of the decorating.

The Electrician’s Shop

I’ve photographed weddings in the bright upstairs room and the much smaller, atmospheric basement. Two very different spaces in the same building. These are photographs of earlier celebrations; check with Trinity Buoy Wharf before planning around either room.

The river and the lighthouse

Some of these weddings included a boat trip along the Thames. I’ve also photographed couples up in the lighthouse, looking down at their guests. Both need arranging with the venue rather than assuming they come with the booking.

The red boat is one of my favourite London backdrops. Bride and groom, red boat, blue sky. Unbeatable.

Laura & Bengt

Laura and Bengt began at Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, then moved to the Electrician’s Shop for their ceremony and party. Effortlessly stylish, with cheekbones that must shred pillowcases in their sleep. See their wedding photographs.

Matthew & Erica

My first wedding here, and still one of my favourites. They met at music college, and their wedding band was made up of friends and family. Matthew played bass, neatly avoiding a first dance. See their very musical wedding.

If you’re getting married here, I’d love to hear from you. There are more places I’ve worked in my London venue guide.
