Jack & Tim’s Wedding at the Buoy Store

If you’re interested in Trinity Buoy Wharf film wedding photography or planning a stylish London celebration, Jack and Tim’s wedding is the perfect inspiration for a relaxed and modern day. I was delighted to be trusted to capture the love of these two kind humans and come back to one of my favourite wedding venues; especially as I have not worked at the Buoy Store room before.
The light in that space is just special. It pours softly through the big windows, gently bouncing off the exposed brick walls. It’s just beautiful, flattering light – ideal for analogue photography .

The Ceremony in the Buoy Store

The ceremony took place in the Buoy Store – very spacious, and a bit darker, more atmospheric event space at Trinity Buoy Wharf. It is interconnected to the Chain Store for a seamless flow of events on the day.

Guests were welcome with a glass of bubbles before sitting down. Jack and Tim each entered separately, arms linked with their close family members on both side. It was a truly special moment.

Friends led the ceremony, telling their story in a way that felt unfiltered and real. It was, by all accounts, love at first sight: an Englishman in New York catching the eye of an American. They both turned for a second look, their eyes met, and that was it. The beginning of everything.

Trinity Buoy Wharf Film Wedding Photography

Both the Buoy and Chain Store spaces, as well as the whole area of the Trinity Buoy Wharf complex filled with art installations and ship container art studios, are perfect for film photography and modern vintage vibe.
I spent the day switching between analogue and digital media. Digital gave me speed and flexibility for the lively, fast-moving moments, while film let me slow down and really savour the quieter ones and intentional portraits of the two grooms.

As a London wedding photographer specialising in analogue, nostalgic wedding photography, this celebration was a dream to capture.

Why Trinity Buoy Wharf is a perfect venue for modern weddings

If you’re planning a wedding that doesn’t feel overly traditional, Trinity Buoy Wharf gives you that freedom straight away.

This isn’t a “weddingy” venue. It’s a working event space – used for art, culture, and creative projects -which means you won’t find ornate décor or traditional wedding themed furnishings. Instead, you get a blank canvas with real character: exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, and a layout that lets you shape the day around you, not the other way around. If you’re drawn to New York loft-style living – open spaces, industrial textures, a mix of light and raw detail – you’ll feel at home here. It doesn’t take much to make it personal. The space already does most of the work.

For same-sex couples or anyone looking to do things differently, this venue is a dream.

Key Facts

The venue itself is split into two distinct but connected spaces. The Buoy Store offers a darker, more intimate setting for ceremonies, while the Chainstore opens up into a brighter, more expansive room that works beautifully for dinner and dancing. You can move between them naturally, or opt for the Chainstore only and have your ceremony in one part of the room with curtains drawn up to create a separate space.

There’s also the riverside terrace – something that’s genuinely rare for London venues. You get space to step outside, breathe, and spend time with guests, all while overlooking the Thames. It still feels unmistakably London (directly opposite the 02 concert venue and Canary Wharf financial district), just without the usual constraints.

And then there’s the scale. The venue can hold 60 to impressive 250 guests comfortably, which is harder to find than you’d expect in London, especially if you care about style and modern vibe.

The wedding spaces are run by Trinity Riverside London – contact for more info.

If you’re planning a wedding at Trinity Buoy Wharf, especially a modern or same-sex celebration that breaks away from tradition, I hope this gives you a real sense of what’s possible here. Jack and Tim’s day moved effortlessly between relaxed moments with guests, quick editorial portraits, and a high-energy evening party. I kept the coverage documentary throughout, with a mix of digital and analogue photography to reflect the atmosphere as it unfolded – honest, heartfelt and natural.
