Weddings at The Mitre, Hampton Court
Gabriella & Ben’s Authentic and Cinematic Day
Nestled along the River Thames, The Mitre, Hampton Court, stands as a charming backdrop for couples dreaming of an unforgettable wedding. Recently, I had the honor of capturing Gabriella and Ben’s special day—an event that epitomized authentic, relaxed, and cinematic documentary wedding photography.
A Beautiful Start at St Mary's Parish Church
The day began with a heartfelt ceremony at St Mary’s Parish Church, Hampton Court. This historic church set a serene and intimate tone, perfectly blending tradition with warmth. Gabriella walked down the aisle in a stunning dress sourced from the renowned bridal boutique Aurora Bride. Her look was enhanced by Bridal by Vanity Lounge and Chloe, who contributed additional hair styling magic. The bridal makeup, courtesy of By Courtney, added to Gabriella’s timeless beauty.
The Mitre: A Perfect Venue for Cinematic and Relaxed Photography
The Mitre is a dream venue for capturing relaxed yet sophisticated moments. Its riverside views and historical ambience provide countless opportunities for authentic, documentary-style photography. Gabriella and Ben’s celebration continued seamlessly here, with every detail coming together beautifully.
Events In Bloom transformed the venue’s decor, infusing it with elegance through meticulously crafted floral arrangements. Bouquets and buttonholes, provided by Roses Of Rosehill, complemented the color scheme and added a natural touch to the day’s photos.
The Little Details That Made the Day
Weddings are often defined by the small, personal details that reflect the couple’s personality, and Gabriella and Ben’s day was no exception. The cake, a show-stopping masterpiece by Gorgeous Gems Bakery, became both a visual and tasty highlight. The guests enjoyed a lively atmosphere, curated by DJ Phil Lam, DJ Oliver, and Armstrong Sax (coordinated by Londonsdj.uk), ensuring the dance floor stayed energetic all night.
The ceremony itself was lifted by the powerful voices of the CK Gospel Choir, whose music brought emotion and depth to the occasion. Guests arrived in style, transported by classic buses from Ensign Bus. For a thoughtful touch, Olivia’s wedding favours from Little Liv Bakes added a personal, homemade feel, leaving everyone with a sweet reminder of the day.
Capturing Authentic, Relaxed Moments
As a documentary wedding photographer, my goal is to blend in, capturing real, candid moments as they unfold. The Mitre provided the ideal setting for this style, with its naturally lit spaces and charming riverside setting. From the laughter between Gabriella and her bridesmaids, dressed in elegant gowns from JJ’s House, to the quiet, tender moments shared between the newlyweds, the day was a treasure trove of photographic opportunities.
Gabriella and Ben’s wedding was not only a celebration of their love but a testament to how meaningful, authentic, and cinematic a wedding can be when surrounded by friends, family, and a stellar team of suppliers.
