Will & Gaby’s Elegant Palace Wedding at Hampton Court Palace

Will and Gaby’s wedding took place at the one-of-a-kind Hampton Court Palace.

The day started off with Will getting ready at home and Gaby getting ready at The King’s Arms. After a church ceremony in Wimbledon, everyone travelled to Hampton Court Palace to celebrate.

Will and Gaby embraced all off Hampton Court Palace’s different spaces - a drinks reception in the Garden Room was followed by a glass of champagne in the Privy Garden. Afterwards, guests were ushered through the palace to the historic Great Hall, which was built in the 1500s for King Henry VIII. After the speeches, everyone headed to The Undercroft for the first dance and party.

Will and Gaby were so incredibly kind and open with me - it felt like I was photographing the wedding of two dear friends who were just so glad to have me there. Here are some of my favourites.

Church: St Mary’s Church in Wimbledon
