Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the world of wedding planning! One of the most crucial elements of your special day is selecting the perfect venue – somewhere that reflects your style and personality as a couple. As a professional photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing some truly stunning weddings at Fitzrovia Chapel in London. In this blog post, I’ll share my experience of shooting at this iconic venue and provide some tips for planning your dream Fitzrovia Chapel wedding.


The Fitzrovia Chapel is a hidden gem located in the heart of London, nestled among the bustling streets of Fitzrovia. This Grade II* listed building boasts stunning Neo-Classical architecture and is the perfect backdrop for a traditional wedding ceremony. The interior is ornate and lavish, with glistening gold finishes and intricate designs throughout. The space can seat up to 75 guests for a ceremony and has a mezzanine level that can be used for smaller receptions or intimate dinners.

One of the unique features of Fitzrovia Chapel is the natural light that filters through its stained glass windows, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. The Chapel’s high ceilings and open-plan layout make it the ideal space for dramatic entrances, grand exits, and group photos. Whether you’re looking for a classic or contemporary wedding, Fitzrovia Chapel’s aesthetic provides a versatile backdrop that can be easily customized to suit your style.

As a photographer, I always recommend that couples ensure their wedding flowers and decor complement the venue’s aesthetic. With Fitzrovia Chapel’s rich gold and white colour scheme, floral arrangements that incorporate shades of ivory, cream, and blush pink work particularly well. For those couples who want to add a touch of glamour and drama to their wedding photographs, consider incorporating candlelight or using sparklers or confetti during the grand exit.

Another advantage of choosing Fitzrovia Chapel as your wedding venue is its proximity to some of London’s most iconic landmarks. This provides an endless array of picturesque locations for post-ceremony photographs. After your ceremony, your wedding photographer can lead you on a magical tour of London, stopping at such famous sites as The British Museum, The National Gallery, or even The London Eye.


Planning a wedding is an exciting and memorable experience. Finding the perfect venue for your special day is one of the most important decisions you will make. Fitzrovia Chapel offers a unique and stunning backdrop that guarantees everlasting memories. The Chapel’s natural light, customisable aesthetic, and proximity to London landmarks make it the perfect venue for capturing the most memorable moments of your special day. As a wedding photographer fortunate enough to have captured weddings at Fitzrovia Chapel, I can say with confidence that this is a perfect choice for those couples who want to create a timeless and unforgettable wedding experience.
