Holy Ghost Catholic Church Wedding Photography
Planning a Balham wedding? The Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Balham is a truly special place to exchange your vows. Built in 1897, the church is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, with stunning stained glass windows, marble detailing, and a serene, light-filled interior that creates a reverent and romantic atmosphere. It’s a setting that not only enhances the sacredness of the ceremony but also provides an elegant backdrop for your wedding photography. I found the parish warm and welcoming, one that has a supportive community and priest.

Asylum Chapel Wedding Photography: Love in a London Icon
After learning about The Asylum Chapel and its history and unique backdrop for wedding photography, I was super-thrilled to be asked to be Jessica and Richard’s asylum chapel wedding photographer.
The Asylum Chapel, situated a short walk away from Peckham’s Queens Road Overground, is a breathtaking example of a wedding venue with stained glass windows, a high Georgian ceiling and a crumbling facade. For couples looking for a truly unique intimate and atmospheric location for their wedding and wedding photography this is the one for you!
History of The Asylum Chapel
Despite its name, The Asylum Chapel was not an actual psychiatric facility. Back in its day the word ‘asylum’ actually meant ‘sanctuary’ and was a home for elderly retired pub landllords. More like an almhouse which were important places for those Georgian and Victorian elderly who’s only alternative was the street.
The Asylum Chapel was established around 1827 and had many benefactors, whose memorials are still there, visible to this day. Despite being heavily bombed during the second world war, the carvings and glass stained windows survive to this day and The Asylum Chapel after some refurbishments, had been granted Grade II status.
And thanks to Maverick Projects it’s available for events, art projects and weddings.
Asylum Chapel Wedding Photography
As I mentioned earlier, Asylum Chapel truly is a wedding photographer’s dream. With its raw, atmospheric beauty, textured walls, and soft, diffused natural light, it offers a setting unlike any other in London. The blend of its historic charm and decay creates a deeply romantic, almost cinematic feel. Whether it’s the emotional exchange of vows beneath the stained-glass windows or those quiet, intimate portraits captured in the chapel’s moody corners, every frame feels rich with story and character.
Below are some of my favourite images from weddings I’ve captured at Asylum Chapel — moments filled with emotion, connection, and the beautifully imperfect textures that make this venue so iconic.
