Tom & Helena: Hackney Town Hall & Humble Grape Wedding

A week before Christmas, there’s a little snow on the ground, and Helena and Tom got married and drank the finest wines available to humanity…. well available to anyone near Fleet Street that is. They had their wedding reception at the Humble Grape wine bar in crypts below St. Bride’s Church.
The perfect venue for a cosy winter wedding.

The ceremony was in the North Atria at Hackney Town Hall, a impressive and tall open and light space, quite a contrast to the reception. Fantastic choices of spaces for this London wedding.

It was everything I expected Helly & Tom’s day to be, full of interesting conversations and laughter. Everything a celebration should be.
