Wandsworth Town Hall Weddings: Capturing Modern Elegance in Wedding Photography

As a wedding photographer based in South London, Wandsworth Town Hall is just a hop, skip and a jump away from me. Wandsworth Town is the perfect register office for most South London-based couples as its conveniently located, has stunning classical architecture and a variety of wedding-friendly pubs and restaurants in the area. It also has nearby King George’s Park for those couples wanting a bit of nature in their wedding photography.

My job as a photographer on the day is to arrive 30 mins before the ceremony to take pics of the groom, family and friends as they turn up. Gives us time (weather-permitting) to make the most of the historic front of the building and the small landscaped garden area..

Wandsworth Town Hall Wedding Photography

Wandsworth Town Hall boasts 5 glorious ceremony rooms and here’s some info and pics for each one..

Wedding Photography in The Elizabeth Room

I’ve shot quite a few weddings in The Elizabeth Room over the last couple of years. One of the smaller rooms and a max capacity of only 10 people (including witnesses, photographer etc), The Elizabeth room is none-the-less small cozy and intimate. This is the one with the leather sofas! So all-round comfort for your guests. The fee varies from £58.30 to £181.50 depending on the day of the week and includes a simple, intimate ceremony and exchange of rings. You can even have your civil partnership here too.

Where to Go for a Drink After Your Wandsworth Town Hall Wedding

Once you’ve said “I do” at Wandsworth Town Hall, you don’t have to go far to keep the celebration going. This part of South London is full of cosy, character-filled pubs — perfect for a relaxed drink with your guests before heading to the reception. Alternatively to host your small reception. Here are three top picks just a short walk from the registry office:

1. The Brewers Inn

This couple opted for a small wedding celebration at The Brewers Inn (which is literally opposite Wandsworth Town Hall!). The Brewers Inn is a favourite for wedding parties. With its traditional décor, a great selection of beers and wines, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s the ideal spot to raise your first glass as newlyweds. There's a cute beer garden as well as an indoor dining area if you fancy a sit-down meal.

2. The Alma
Opposite Wandsworth Town Station, The Alma is a favourite of mine, combining classic pub charm with a touch of Victorian elegance. It’s popular for its craft beer selection and sunny beer garden — perfect for post-ceremony pints or Prosecco in warmer months.

3. The East Hill
A little quieter but full of charm, The East Hill is a Young’s pub with stylish interiors and a welcoming vibe. Great for small groups looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a celebratory toast in a more intimate setting.

Whether you’re planning a full reception later or just want to pause and enjoy the moment, these pubs near Wandsworth Town Hall are the perfect pit stops for post-wedding drinks in South London.

Wedding Photography at The Bedford Pub | Balham

As a local wedding photographer it was an absolute joy to shoot my first wedding party in The Bedford Pub! A local institution and a fab backdrop for any wedding photography or party. Caroline and Goncalo have roots in Scotland and Portugal respectively, so you can imagine we were all in for an absolute treat at this one, with the most fun-loving guests, a ceilidh band and a DJ to see everyone through dancing til 1am. Champagne, the tastiest Portugese red wine (if ONLY I could remember the name!!) and birthday cake ON top of an incredible three-course meal (hats off to the chefs at The Bedford) were also several of the many highlights of the day.

The Bedford Pub Wedding Photography

If you hire The Bedford for your wedding you have the choice of several function rooms. As Caroline and Goncalo wanted to pull out all the stops they hired the lavish Ballroom which was able to cater for their wedding breakfast and their party..

The Wedding Reception in The Ballroom

The Ballroom at The Bedford is a stunning, versatile space that offers the perfect setting for your wedding reception. With its high ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and vintage charm, The Ballroom combines timeless character with a fully functioning bar to create a truly perfect setting.
