Smithfield Wedding at St Barts — Charlotte & Charlie’s Relaxed London Day

Charlotte & Charlie’s Smithfield wedding took place at Great St Barts (St Bartholomew the Great), London’s oldest parish church dating back to 1123. This iconic Smithfield wedding venue is not only steeped in history but also a popular filming location — famously featured in Four Weddings and a Funeral (clearly the most crucial part of St Bart’s history!), making it a unique spot for wedding photography in London.

A Historic Ceremony in London’s Oldest Parish Church

Although St Barts is incredibly grand, the atmosphere was perfectly relaxed — a hallmark of the kind of relaxed wedding photography we love to capture. It wasn’t just Charlotte & Charlie’s calm vibe; Father Marcus, who led the ceremony, struck the perfect balance of reverence and fun, keeping the ceremony laidback in such a formal setting. This blend made their day really special and gave us the chance to shoot plenty of natural, relaxed moments. Over the years, working as London wedding photographers has taken us to some unforgettable venues — and St Barts is up there!

Exploring Smithfield: Exploring Markets, Pubs & Perfect Vibes

After their ceremony, Charlotte and Charlie kept things low-key with a wander around Smithfield Market, a fantastic backdrop for candid shots and a real favourite for couples choosing a Smithfield wedding. Their day flowed effortlessly into a relaxed gathering at The Three Compasses pub, surrounded by friends and family — the perfect vibe for a Smithfield celebration. The day wrapped up beautifully at Rochelle Canteen in Playground Gardens E2, where great food and atmosphere completed the picture.

A Smithfield wedding always carries a unique vibe, but Charlotte and Charlie set the bar high! They wanted a day that was relaxed, full of good food and drink — and they absolutely nailed it.
