Hilton London Metropole Hotel Wedding Photography Paddington

Wedding photography at the Hilton Hotel in Paddington

Hmim and Renna’s Iraqi wedding at the Hilton London Metropole Hotel in Paddington was an amazing day with one of the loveliest couples that I have ever worked with and was filled with incredible traditions and so many thoughtful details.

The day began with both couples getting ready at their home before the groom's family came to welcome their future daughter-in-law with singing and dancing before everybody made their way to St Marylebone Church in London for the beautiful wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, we made our way over to Regents Park for the couple’s photographs in the gardens of the park before the wedding reception at the Hilton London Metropole, which was beautifully put together by the talented Anna Savvides at One and Only Events, and it is always a pleasure to work with Kat Films who are one of the best wedding videographers in the UK.

The reception was filled with energy and dancing which went on well into the night with singer Tom Astley and was the perfect way to end this fairytale wedding.

Here are a few images from this stunning London wedding at the Hilton in Paddington, London.
