The Ritzy Picturehouse, or Ritzy Cinema as it is know to Brixton’s locals, is a Grade II listed building and an iconic setting for your Brixton wedding photography/wedding photoshoot. If you step insides you can see the blend of old world charm and modern design. Ritzy Cinema hosts many community events and as such has held a place of cultural significance in Brixton for many years. I can’t imagine your Brixton wedding photography would be complete without it!!
Following their wedding at Lambeth Town Hall, newly-married Suzanna and Hussan asked Brixton Wedding Photographer Christine Constantine to grab some snaps outside the Rizty Picturehouse in Brixton.
The couple had met for their first ever date outside the Ritzy Cinema several years earlier, and so it was only apt to have some of their Brixton wedding photography outside. The Ritzy Picturehouse proved its ever endearing popularity by paying tribute to the newly-weds by putting a special message on their board.. Check out some of my favourite wedding images here..
Marrying in Brixton?
Whether you hire the whole cinema for your wedding or just opt for your wedding photography outside, The Ritzy Cinema is an amazing choice for those couples wishing to capture the essence of Brixton in their wedding photography.
As a Brixton wedding photographer I have shot at Lambeth Town Hall many times, so know some cool places if you wanted some more pics after your ceremony. Check out more of my wedding photography here..
Simple Ceremony, Big Love: A Kingston Register Office Wedding
In a small intimate ceremony last week at Kingston Register Office, I was fortunate enough to capture the love between these two lovebirds. Shirley and Phil have been together since FOREVER and wanted a unobtrusive natural wedding photographer to capture them (finally) tying the knot!
Kingston Register Office Wedding Photography
Capturing moments as they happen is at the heart of my approach to wedding photography. I believe the most meaningful images are often the ones you don’t pose for — a glance, a laugh, a tear, a hug. These natural, unscripted moments tell the real story of your day. Rather than constantly directing or staging scenes, I focus on observing and anticipating emotion, connection, and atmosphere as it unfolds.
