River Thames Wedding Cruise wedding photography and film
River Thames Wedding Cruise is a beautiful wedding venue. Watch real wedding films from River Thames Wedding Cruise by Big Day Productions.
Filming on the River Thames is unlike anything else we do. The water catches the light in ways that make every shot feel alive, and with London drifting past in the background, there's a sense of movement and romance that a static venue simply can't replicate. It's one of those locations where the setting does half the work for us.
Getting to River Thames Wedding Cruise
The closest mainline stations depend on your boarding point, but Embankment, Waterloo, and London Bridge are all well connected and typically a short walk to most Thames piers. Check your invitation for the exact departure pier before travelling. For those flying in, Heathrow is the main gateway, roughly 45 to 60 minutes into central London by the Elizabeth line. Gatwick and City Airport are also solid options depending on where you're coming from. Parking in central London is genuinely not worth the hassle. Save yourself the stress and use the Tube or a black cab instead. For the journey home, book a taxi in advance. Uber works well in London, but black cabs are easy to hail near most riverside locations after an evening cruise.
