Some weddings are formal. Some are full of confetti, sangria and a double-decker bus. Jaz and Harry's St Paul's Cathedral wedding was both — and it's exactly the kind of day that makes me love working as a St Paul's Cathedral wedding photographer.

If you're planning a wedding at one of London's most iconic landmarks, or you're a couple searching for a London wedding photographer with editorial-style images with real personality, this real wedding will show you what's possible.

Wedding Ceremony in the OBE Chapel at St Pauls Cathedral

Harry and Jaz exchanged their vows in the breathtaking OBE Chapel inside St Paul's Cathedral - an intimate, ornate space tucked within one of the most iconic buildings in the world. The setting brought a sense of history and grandeur to the ceremony, while the couple's own warmth and humour kept the mood personal and joyful rather than overly formal.

For couples lucky enough to be considering St Paul's Cathedral for their ceremony, the OBE Chapel is a wonderful example of how a formal, historic venue can still feel like your day.

From Cathedral Steps to a Classic London Bus

After the ceremony, guests didn't head straight to cars or taxis. Instead, they climbed aboard a classic London bus, complete with tins of Pimm's, for the ride to the reception. It's a brilliant example of how a London city wedding can lean into its surroundings and it made it fun for the guests who had travelled from up north, as it gave the real “London experience” - a fab idea for turning transport between venues into one of the most fun parts of the day.

A Relaxed Reception at Pedro's Wine Bar, Bermondsey

The formality of the cathedral gave way to a completely different atmosphere at Pedro's Wine Bar, where the celebration continued with confetti in the streets, Portuguese sharing plates, T-bone steak, sangria and dancing well into the evening. It's proof that a St Paul's Cathedral wedding doesn't have to stay traditional from start to finish - pairing an iconic ceremony venue with a relaxed, personality-filled reception is one of the best ways to give your guests the best of both worlds and really suited Harry and Jaz.
