While their bigger celebrations were planned for later that month, Hannah and Jake chose the iconic Islington Town Hall for their intimate legal wedding ceremony. Having no set expectations for their photos (a brief that really sings to my heart) and having had the privilege of getting to know them personally for the year leading up to their day (including a meet up at a Sasha Velour show) I really did feel like I was getting to capture these moments for a pair who I now can proudly call my friends and two people who really were made for eachother - even down to having the same birthday as each other and one valentines day nonetheless.
Their intimate day was like a scene from a Richard Curtis film (complete with London’s signature wind and rain) with some of my stand out as seeing Hannah do her own hair and makeup (impressively in less than 15 mins) Jake and his friends Bollinger-fueled dancing session in their restored old butchers kitchen, watching Hannah fashion a bunch of dried eucalyptus from a vase in their kitchen into her bouquet by helping her haphazardly her tie a ribbon onto the bunch as Jake whisked us out the front door, riding to Islington Town Hall in a vintage Jaguar and witnessing Hannah and Jake dance back down the aisle as newlyweds, cheered on by their loved ones. Islington Town Hall and The Drapers Arms provided the perfect backdrops for this pairs wedding moments, from the heartfelt vows to the stolen glances shared across the sharing feast table.
