Imagine this, you’re a couple, deeply in love, seeking an intimate elopement amidst the London's skyline.

There's something undeniably appealing about the idea of eloping in one of the world's most iconic cities, against the backdrop of classic architecture, neutral tones and centuries of history. London, with its bustling streets and timeless charm, sets the stage for a romantic elopement like no other. And what better place to exchange vows than in the shadow of St. Paul's Cathedral, a symbol of resilience and beauty that has stood the test of time?

For this stylish editorial we started the day at HLD Studios, a space designed to ignite the imagination and fuel artistic expression, in other words, a photographers dream! The studio's sleek, modern design and Parisian - style balcony was the perfect setting for our first look.

Michaela wore the stunning dress from the Garden Whispers collection by Katya Katya London. This timeless, elegant dress paired with a sleek bun, glowing skin and a nude lip made for a sophisticated look, perfect for the Parisian-style balcony portraits.

It was then time for a quick change and to take full advantage of those sweeping steps at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The second look entailed a more urban style, something that was practical yet stylish. Joe dressed in a black tux, with an open tie to give a more relaxed feel to the shoot and Michaela wore a gorgeous sleek v neckline dress by BAE accompanied by a pearl handbag, ideal for embracing the city’s cosmopolitan vibe.

Then if you thought it couldn’t get any better, the Reflection Garden is tucked just behind St. Paul’s, a unique spot which allows a mix of architectural beauty and natural elements as a backdrop for your wedding photos. So not only do you have the gorgeous city vibes, you also have a beautiful detailed garden to walk around giving you a moment to take it all in.

So here's to love, to adventure, and to the beauty of finding your own fairy tale in the heart of a bustling city!
