Olivia and James wanted a traditional Anglican service with a full choir, the organ and every hymn sung by their guests. They asked us to show the scale of the cathedral without losing the closeness of the two of them at the altar.

The Venue
A Wren-era cathedral in the City of London, with a vaulted nave, chequered marble floors and a dome that fills with light by midday. The reception followed at a private members' club nearby.
Light & Mood
We worked from the gallery and the side aisles so we never stood between the couple and their priest. Long lenses, natural light and black and white gave the pictures a calm, almost classical feel.
Styling
Olivia wore a structured silk gown with a long train and a simple veil. James wore a navy morning suit. Bridesmaids carried white peonies, and tall candles lined the nave.
The Day
From the walk down the aisle to the signing of the register and the bells on the steps outside, we covered the day with two photographers and a filmmaker, then joined guests for an elegant evening reception.
