Century Club London Wedding Photographer | Helen + Dale

January 31, 2025

Photographs from Century Club London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake, featuring Dale and Helen’s wedding. I met Dale and Helen in sunny Richmond to chat about their wedding day plans. I admired their relaxed approach to the day, they were very easy going, a lovely couple and well suited, I instantly liked them and was really happy they booked me. I started the day at The Reform Club, to capture Helen getting ready, then on to the Century Club itself to photograph the ceremony, complete with lots of beaming smiles and giggles from set bride and groom. During the drinks reception we took a few nice shots of Dale and Helen at the club itself, then a short walk through China Town, capturing a few candid shots in and amongst the hustle and bustle of London. The wedding breakfast was conducted on the roof terrance, one of the nicest spots for dinner in London. The speeches were probably the best I have witnessed at a wedding, especially the best man’s speech (Dale’s brother), what a legend of a performance and an awesome magic trick. One of the things I noticed most about Dale and Helen through the day was how much fun they had, they laugh and smile a lot, it’s infectious, lovely to see and be part of. Best wishes for the future to both of you.

The Petersham Hotel | Aryan and Francesco

September 23, 2024

It was a pleasure to photograph Aryan and Francesco’s wedding at The Petersham Hotel in Richmond upon Thames. I really warmed to them the first day we met at the hotel to plan the schedule and have a look around. It’s clear to see that there was a strong connection between them and I hope I have managed to capture that in the candid photography taken through the day. After the first course, we quickly went to the top of Richmond Hill to capture some shots as the sun was going down. This was something they were really keen on and I am so happy the weather was perfect for it. The Petersham is a great venue for intimate weddings. There are lots of great spots in and around for photographs. Wishing Aryana and Francesco a lifetime of happiness, thank you for allowing me to b part of your special day.

The Harbour Hotel Richmond | Leanne and Chris

August 14, 2024

My first visit to the Harbour Hotel in Richmond became the setting for Leanne and Chris’ summer wedding. I was really looking forward to capturing their day. When we met at the venue prior to the wedding it was clear they had a really lovely connection and I couldn’t wait to capture it on camera. It’s always nice to capture a wedding at a new venue. It feels like an open canvas from which to explore and bring to life. What I love about the Harbour Hotel Richmond is that there are lots of interesting, little spaces to photograph in, which is fab if the weather is poor. Luckily, the sun was shining and in the evening we made the short walk over to the terrace on top of Richmond Hill for some more bride and groom photographs, which have come out beautifully. Wishing Leanne and Chris a wonderful future together, it was a real pleasure to capture their day. Here is a little sneak peek at their highlights.

The Petersham Hotel Richmond | Cristina and Robert

July 15, 2024

It was a real pleasure to photograph Cristina and Robert’s intimate wedding at The Petersham Hotel on Saturday. It’s clear to see the strong connection they have with eachother, this comes across clearly in the photography. When we met before the wedding day, they were a little self-conscious about having their photographs taken. I reassured them that my approach and style is to keep the bride and groom photography very relaxed. On the day they were so natural with eachother, which made my job even easier. There was a bit of a blue colour theme running through the wedding so I was pleased to see some blue flowers outside the hotel, which I used as some foreground colour for some of the photos, which seemed to work really well. Thanks heaps for putting your faith in me and giving me the opportunity to be part of your special day. I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek at some of your photos. x

Pembroke Lodge Richmond Wedding Photography | Danielle + John

June 28, 2024

Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park, was the reception venue for Danielle and John’s wedding. I initially met them at the lodge earlier this year for a coffee and a chat about the big day and instantly warmed to them. The service was at nearby Saint Andrews Church, situated at the edge of the park. The service was lovely, with the newly married couple exiting the ceremony with a guard of honour, under an impressive archway of swords (and token umbrella), filling everyone with pride and joy. With the early sunset looming, we marched on to the park for bride and groom photos, snaps of friends and family, before the wedding breakfast and an eclectic mix of great speeches. As always, a really good crowd of guests, which made for some great moments to capture. Here are just a few shots from the day, best wishes to Danielle and John for the future.
