When it comes to weddings in London, few venues are as visually rich as the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. This spring wedding for Fran and Adam captured the best of the city with intimate moments, architectural beauty, and a modern couple celebrating their day with style and soul.

Getting Ready in the Bridal Suite

The day began in the bridal suite at the St Pancras Hotel, with Emma from Bridal Hair by Emma Forletta working her magic on Fran and her bridal party. The atmosphere was calm and happy with soft spring light pouring through the windows.

Fran wore a stunning gown by Essence of Australia, perfectly tailored and simple in silhouette, which suited both the elegance of the venue and the relaxed feel of the day.

The Ceremony on the Grand Staircase

The ceremony took place on the famous grand staircase inside the hotel, with its deep red walls, gold accents and sweeping Gothic Revival architecture. It was the perfect spot for a small ceremony, filled with just close family and friends.

There were very few candles, just natural light, and the focus was on the words and each other. The setting allowed guests to be close, but also gave the couple a sense of grandeur as they exchanged their vows surrounded by architectural drama.

Portraits Around St Pancras and the Station

After the ceremony and a private wedding breakfast, we stepped out into the iconic surrounds of the St Pancras Renaissance and the attached St Pancras Station for a few portraits.

The contrast of grand arches, soft spring light and elegant wedding style always makes for timeless photos. Adam wore a nod to his Scottish roots with traditional tartan trousers, which worked beautifully against the warm brick backdrop of the venue. Fran’s dress flowed effortlessly down the hotel’s patterned staircase and looked equally at home outside among the dramatic London architecture.

Wedding Breakfast and Family Time

The wedding breakfast was held in one of the hotel’s private dining rooms. Decor was soft and classic: white roses, eucalyptus and warm candlelight decorated long tables where the couple’s closest family members gathered. It felt personal, intimate and special. The cake was a floral three-tiered beauty that echoed the elegant simplicity of the rest of the styling.

As the speeches began, a surprise gift emerged—a tiny baby vest that read “My Daddy Loves Golf” with “golf” cheekily crossed out and replaced with “me”. Fran and Adam were just beginning to share the news of their pregnancy, and it was a moment filled with laughter and a few quiet tears.

An Evening Party to Remember

As evening fell, more guests arrived and the room was transformed. A live band took over the space, and the quiet intimacy of the day gave way to a full-on celebration. There was dancing, hugging, laughing and cake cutting.

The atmosphere was electric, but still warm and rooted in the joy of the couple and the people they love. This is the beauty of a London weddingeverything in one place, flowing easily, with the city just outside but the focus entirely on the people inside.
