Wedding photography and film at Cecil Sharp House

Cecil Sharp House is a London wedding venue hosting weddings in the heart of Camden, with a characterful 1930s building that serves as the home of English folk dance and song.

The home of English folk dance and song — a characterful 1930s building in Camden with wood-floored studios and an intimate main hall, with the green expanses of Regent's Park nearby for outdoor portraits.

We are genuinely drawn to what this place offers a wedding day: warm wood-floored studios, an intimate main hall full of personality, and the green open spaces of Regent's Park close by for outdoor portraits. The combination of architectural character indoors and parkland light outdoors makes it the kind of location we would love to bring our cameras to.

The wood-floored studios and main hall at Cecil Sharp House have a characterful quality of light that lends itself beautifully to both photography and film.

The green expanses of Regent's Park are close by, making it a natural option for outdoor portrait time during your day. A short walk to the park gives couples a relaxed, open-air setting that contrasts beautifully with the indoor character of the venue itself. We always plan portrait timing with our couples in advance so we can make the most of whatever the day offers, whether that is the park, the exterior of the building or both.
