Barbican and Guys Chapel Wedding Photography in London
Wedding Photography at the Barbican in London
The conservatory at the Barbican is one of London's most unique venues and such an amazing space. In the heart of the city, the conservatory is a truly tropical oasis and one of the most visually striking locations for a wedding reception.
The day began with a beautiful wedding ceremony at The Guy's Chapel in London Bridge which is a very special location for the couple who had fallen in love while studying to become doctors.
The reception at the Barbican started with canapés and champagne in the tropical conservatory with the speeches taking place overlooking the thousands of species of tropical plants before moving into the garden room for dancing. The whole day was amazing and Amber and Karim followed this up with a separate religious ceremony at the Ismaili Centre in Kensington Court a couple of days after.
Here are a few images from this beautiful Barbican Wedding in London.
