THE HACKNEY

Finyin & Bianca’s wedding in Hackney | London wedding photographers | The Hackney | Mama Shelter

Finyin & Bianca had their wedding celebrations over two days which was a first for me! Day 1 was their intimate wedding ceremony at a church near Fenchurch Street where they had close friends and family witness their marriage. In true London fashion we then hopped on the tube at Bank Station to make our way to the evening meal at The Italian Greyhound in Marylebone.

Day 2 is when the party started. We met at Mama Shelter in Hackney which is where the couple and their family were getting ready. This hotel was so cool with the crazy patterned interior and bold colours. I love hotels that are untraditional and fun where it looks like an artist designed it.

We then walked over to The Hackney which is a venue that I had wanted to shoot at for a while! It definitely lived up to the hype, the decor was so pretty with all the hanging plants, exposed brick and festoon lights. The highlight for me was Finyin, Bianca and their families dressed in beautiful Nigerian outfits truly looking like kings and queens!
