London Party Boats wedding photography and film
London Party Boats offer a completely unique wedding experience on the Thames, with the London skyline as your backdrop. The movement of the river, the changing light, and the energy of the city create wedding films that are unlike anything else.
Filming on the Thames with London Party Boats is one of those experiences that genuinely excites us every single time. The river light shifts constantly, the skyline does half the work for us, and there's an energy to the city moving around you that you simply cannot fake. Wedding films from here have a life to them that landlocked venues rarely match.
Getting to London Party Boats
London Party Boats operates from Embankment Pier, right in the heart of the city. Embankment Underground station is literally on the doorstep, served by the District and Circle lines, making it one of the easiest London venues to reach by public transport. The nearest major airport is London City Airport, around 30 minutes by car or a straightforward Tube and DLR connection. Heathrow is further out but well connected via the Elizabeth line. Parking in this area is extremely limited and pricey, so driving really isn't recommended. Leave the car at home. For the evening, book your taxi or Uber in advance. The Embankment area gets busy, so having a return ride sorted before you board will save you a headache later.

Getting married on the Thames is a genuinely unique experience, with the city unfolding around you as the boat moves through the water.

Is filming on a moving boat difficult for videographers?
It does take some extra care and experience, and it's something we genuinely enjoy as a creative challenge. The movement of the boat adds a natural, cinematic quality to footage, and we work with stabilised equipment to make sure everything looks smooth and intentional rather than shaky. The changing backdrops as the boat moves along the Thames also mean your film has a real sense of journey and place.

Just get in touch with us through our contact page and let us know your date and what you are looking for. We will check availability, answer any questions you have, and once you are happy to go ahead, a small deposit secures your booking. We recommend reaching out as early as possible, as dates on the Thames tend to be popular and we only take on a limited number of weddings each year.
What are the best moments to capture during a boat wedding on the Thames?
Some of our favourite moments from boat weddings are the ceremony with London landmarks visible through the windows, couple portraits taken on the deck with the river and skyline behind you, and the relaxed, celebratory feel of guests enjoying the cruise together. The constantly changing scenery means there is always something interesting happening in the background, which makes for a really varied and visually rich set of photos and film.
