Modern Islington Town Hall Wedding Photography L & A Photos

Islington Town Hall & Old Queens Head, Islington, London

Laura & Aaron’s Islington Town Hall wedding in London was full-pace from start to finish. From their ceremony in the Council Chamber to a packed-out reception at the iconic Old Queen’s Head Pub on Essex Road, the entire day was driven by energy, personality, and non-stop celebration.

The upstairs space at the Old Queen’s Head — long used by musicians, bands, and comedians as a pre-gig spot — couldn’t have suited them better. It set the tone perfectly for a wedding that felt loud, creative, and completely their own.

As a London wedding photographer, this is exactly the kind of day I love documenting. This gallery shows the story as it unfolded — unforced, fast-moving, and full of real moments, captured through a documentary wedding photography approach.

What made Laura & Aaron’s day stand out wasn’t just the venues — it was the atmosphere. The kind of wedding where something is always happening, where moments overlap, and where the energy never really drops.

From their Islington Town Hall ceremony to the buzzing Old Queen’s Head wedding reception, it was a celebration built around people, music, movement, and connection — not structure or formality.

This is the heart of how I work as a London wedding photographer: no over-directing, no manufactured moments — just real weddings, documented honestly.

If you’re planning a wedding at Islington Town Hall, somewhere else in London, or anywhere in the UK or Europe, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
