When Nilam and Michael got engaged, they immediately knew that they didn't want wait any longer before getting married. So instead, they planned the ultimate London micro-wedding and pulled it off all in under 3 months.  

​

        Despite having a guest list of 15 family members only, this intimate affair was one of the most fun weddings I have photographed. In such a short amount of time, the bride and groom managed to fit in three iconic venues, all highly notable around Chelsea, starting at the beautiful 11 Cadogan Gardens. Nilam's sisters got the party started immediately at the crack of dawn when we began the bridal prep in the gold and black giled bridal suite. 

​

        Traditional to Indian weddings, the bride opted for a bright red bridal outfit, symbolizing new beginnings and feminine power. This specific jumpsuit was custom made for her by Orhan Tailoring London. The bride's parents and sisters adorned her jewelry and gifts before we were all off to No Fifty Cheyne for the ceremony. 

​

        The floral arrangements at No Fifty Cheyne really are unbelievable and truly something to behold, which is perhaps why it is such a popular Chelsea wedding venue. Nilam took passed on the inspiration from the restaurant's baby pink, blue, and lilac displays to her own florist, Jade Anja, who seamlessly created a bridal bouquet to match. 

​

        After an emotional ceremony, we ran outside to grab some photos of the bride and groom whilst we had a 10 minute gap in the heavy summer rainstorm we had been experiencing all day. The results are some of my favorites, which goes to show you don't need hours to get beautiful couple photos. The guests partied under confetti until it was time for an outfit change and a swanky reception dinner at Bocca di Lupo in Soho.
