Hindu Wedding in the Hampton Court Palace Great Hall
Hampton court Palace is such a special wedding venue and they have a few great options here including the Great Hall and Garden Room . Rishi and Vanessa were lucky enough to be able to hold their amazing Hindu wedding between both of these Hampton Court Palace locations.
The Hindu ceremony itself took place in the Garden Room and began with a vibrant and energetic entrance by Rishi before the ceremony began. Traditional Hindi ceremonies have lots of traditional aspects such as walking round the fire, garland exchanges and touching the 7 stones and there is always lots going on to photographs.
The reception took place in the Great Hall itself which is one of the most impressive wedding venues in the country and this was followed by celebrations and dancing in the undercroft.
Rishi and Vanessa were so much fun to work with and a mid-wedding outfit change meant that we were able to really make the most of the beautiful grounds around Hampton Court Palace for the couples photographs.
Here are a few images from this stunning Indian wedding at Hampton Court Palace.

Wedding Photography at Hampton Court Palace Great Hall
Hampton Court Palace’s Great Hall is an extraordinary wedding venue that blends royal history with breathtaking grandeur. I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings in this space, and it’s nothing short of incredible. The magnificent setting, filled with centuries of history, provides a truly unforgettable backdrop for couples looking to tie the knot in style.
The Great Hall is perfect for both intimate and grand celebrations, offering a unique atmosphere that combines historic architecture with timeless elegance. As a photographer, I’m always captivated by the dramatic stained glass windows, the intricate wood panelling, and the sense of history that permeates the space. It’s an ideal location for creating wedding photographs that are as stunning as they are meaningful.
