Sophie & Kevin

Chelsea Physic Garden - London

A Summer Garden Wedding in the Heart of London

Sophie and Kevin's intimate Chelsea Physic Garden wedding was a perfect celebration of love in one of London's most enchanting hidden gems. This historic botanical garden, tucked away in Chelsea, provided a stunning natural backdrop for their summer celebration.

As their Chelsea Physic Garden wedding photographer, I documented every moment of their day - from Sophie's preparations in a nearby Chelsea townhouse to the golden hour portraits among rare plants and the joyful evening celebrations in the garden's historic glasshouse.

The Day

The morning began with Sophie getting ready surrounded by her bridesmaids, where natural light flooded through tall Georgian windows. The intimate Chelsea Physic Garden ceremony took place outdoors among the rare plant collection, with guests seated on wooden benches surrounded by botanical beauty.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn while I captured candid moments and group photographs. The unique setting of this London garden wedding venue offered countless photo opportunities - from the historic glasshouse to the medicinal plant beds that date back centuries.

As evening approached, golden hour light filtered through the trees, creating the perfect conditions for couple portraits. Sophie and Kevin's natural, relaxed approach made for genuinely authentic wedding photography - exactly the style they'd hoped for.

Why Chelsea Physic Garden is Perfect for Wedding Photography

As a London garden wedding photographer, Chelsea Physic Garden remains one of my favourite venues for several reasons:

Historic Character: Britain's oldest botanical garden (established 1673) offers unique photo opportunities you won't find elsewhere

Intimate Scale: Perfect for weddings of 50-120 guests

Central Location: Easy access for London-based couples and guests

Natural Light: The garden's layout and tree canopy create beautiful, dappled light throughout the day

Year-Round Beauty: Each season offers different botanical backdrops

Exclusive Feel: Despite being in central London, it feels like a secret garden escape
