A historic London venue, sculptural bridal fashion, and a studio setup straight out of a fashion editorial. Hannah and Andy’s wedding at Le Gothique brought all three together, along with vibrant garden-style flowers, an intimate ceremony beneath a large tree, and a playful outfit change for the reception. The couple began the day in classic black-and-white wedding attire before switching to coordinating ensembles adorned with delicate embellishments.

Junebug vendor Susana Rios documented the celebration through candid moments and carefully composed images, shooting part of the day on a Contax G2 film camera. Her work captures the couple’s contemporary style while preserving the warmth, texture, and character of their big day.

Wild Florals and Gothic Architecture in Le Gothique’s Secret Garden

Hannah and Andy exchanged vows in Le Gothique’s Secret Garden, an enclosed outdoor space surrounded by the venue’s Gothic stone architecture and tall windows. Gold Tiffany chairs lined the gravel aisle, with small clusters of flowers decorating the ground. Beneath a large tree, vibrant arrangements in orange, pink, purple, and yellow spilled from raised pillars, their loose stems and varying heights giving the florals a wild, garden-inspired appearance.

Hannah wore a fitted white Coperni gown with delicate straps and sculptural floral detailing along the neckline. She paired it with Loeffler Randall heels and a dramatic, voluminous veil that worked well with the dress’s sleek silhouette. Andy donned a classic black three-piece suit, white shirt, and black tie.

Fashion-Inspired Portraits and the Nostalgic Beauty of Film

One of the most distinctive details was the dedicated studio photography setup. Against a simple neutral backdrop, Susana photographed the couple in a series of editorial-style compositions, from classic seated portraits to more playful poses. Family members and loved ones also stepped in front of the camera, creating a collection of images that could easily belong in a fashion magazine.

Beyond the studio, Susana documented the celebration as it happened, capturing candid interactions alongside carefully composed photographs. She also used a Contax G2 film camera for part of the day, bringing a nostalgic texture to the gallery. The mix of documentary coverage, film, and editorial portraiture gives the collection its distinctive character.

A Garden-Party Reception and Coordinated Second Looks

For the reception, a spacious canopy decorated with greenery and bunting covered the dining area. Long tables dressed in white linens were paired with deep red chairs and colorful floral arrangements. The relaxed, garden-party styling offered a lively contrast to the venue’s Gothic architecture.

Hannah and Andy also changed into something more playful for the evening. Andy swapped his black suit for a white double-breasted jacket and matching trousers, with embellishments scattered across the fabric. Hannah chose a white slip dress with thin straps and delicate dangling details that caught the light. Their coordinated second outfits were a fun departure from their formal ceremony attire and made for particularly striking evening photographs.

The Photographer Who Exceeded Their Expectations

It’s easy to see why Hannah and Andy were so taken with their wedding photographs. From the carefully composed studio portraits to the candid moments throughout the day, Susana Rios gave them a collection that captures both their personal style and the celebration itself. The couple shared:

“I will say Susana absolutely stunned us every step of the way. In our opinion, she is wholeheartedly the very best in the business.”
