A Joyful London Wedding: Lenny & Thu Thuy’s Big Day

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lenny and Thu Thuy’s wedding in London—a day filled with elegance, tradition, and so much joy. From the quiet moments of getting ready in the morning to the spirited dancing at the end of the night, every part of this celebration was brimming with laughter and love.

Getting Ready at Home

Our day began capturing Thu Thuy’s final preparations. The room was buzzing with excitement as she slipped into her stunning strapless gown. Delicate details like her elegant necklace and softly curled hair perfectly complemented her radiant smile. Meanwhile, Lenny and his groomsmen enjoyed their own preparations, filled with jokes and lighthearted banter—a perfect glimpse of the fun energy that would carry throughout the day.

A Meaningful Ceremony in Bow

The couple chose a beautiful church in Bow for their ceremony. Guests were greeted by classic red-brick architecture and a sense of reverence inside the chapel. White ribbons decorated the pews, adding a touch of softness against the vibrant colors of the church interior. Watching Lenny’s face light up as Thu Thuy walked down the aisle was a moment I won’t soon forget. The ceremony was heartfelt, punctuated by laughter and a few tears—truly a reflection of their deep love and shared faith.

A Stroll Through Canary Wharf

After the ceremony, Lenny and Thu Thuy hopped into their charming vintage-style wedding car and made their way to Canary Wharf for a stunning portrait session. The modern skyscrapers and sleek architecture provided a dramatic contrast to the couple’s classic wedding attire. As we wandered the bustling streets, passersby couldn’t help but cheer for the newlyweds—an impromptu celebration that added even more excitement to the day. Capturing Lenny and Thu Thuy’s genuine smiles amid the urban backdrop was a highlight of the afternoon, reflecting both their love for each other and their love for the city.

Reception at Yi-Ban Restaurant

The festivities continued at Yi-Ban, a vibrant restaurant known for its delicious cuisine and spacious setting—perfect for a wedding party. The atmosphere was electric as friends and family mingled, toasted the happy couple, and indulged in a generous feast. A highlight of the evening was the dance floor: everyone—from Thu Thuy in her stunning red reception dress to their friends in their suits—took turns busting out moves, singing along, and cheering each other on.

Capturing the Joy

What made this wedding truly special was the genuine connection between Lenny and Thu Thuy and the warmth of their families. Every hug, every smile, and every candid moment spoke volumes about their love story. From the sentimental moments to the laughter shared among friends, it was a day that reminded me why I love documenting weddings so much.

Congratulations again, Lenny and Thu Thuy! Your wedding was a joy to photograph, and I’m honored to have played a part in preserving these memories. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness for you both.
