Japanese and German Wedding at Londons Threadneedles

As a London wedding photographer, I get the opportunity to photograph lots of multi-cultural weddings. I was delighted when Meiko asked me to photograph her German/Japanese wedding which was to take place in London. Guests had flown in from around the world to share the day with them and the ceremony itself took place in Islington Town Hall before guests were taken on a London bus to the amazing Threadneedles for the reception.

The day ended with a lovely sightseeing tour around London to give the guests that had traveled a chance to see some of the city, Here are a few images from there stunning day. Scroll to the bottom to view the slideshow from the day or click here to see the wedding photography slideshow.
