St John at Hackney Church Wedding

Saga and Matt got hitched in the city followed by heading to St John at Hackney church for their wedding reception.

They met up outside the Tate Gallery and we all wandered over to St Mary Aldermary church near St Pauls Cathedral. It was fun capturing the procession of happy faces wandering across the Millennium bridge. Saga with flowers in her hair and a billowing blue cape. She was wearing a dress that looked a little Elizabethan with its beautiful embroidery.

St Mary Aldermary is  former medieval church, largely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. It was rebuilt in 1679-82 by Sir Christopher Wren’s master craftsmen. It is the only surviving late c17th Gothic church in the City of London.

The day was very DIY. When we headed to Hackney Church the place looked stunning. The long tables were set up like a banquet. There were jars of homemade chutneys and pickles and whole lobsters.  The tables were adorned with fairy lights held up with real branches. A pudding tables set over to the side with homemade treats from friends and family. They definietely ate in style!
