Davy’s Wine Vaults Wedding Photography
Davy’s Wine Vaults is Greenwich’s cosiest wedding secret — candlelit brick vaults, wooden beams and centuries of wine-soaked history beneath the streets. If you want warmth and intimacy rather than a grand hall, this family-run cellar delivers atmosphere in every frame.
Down in the vaults the light is low and golden, and that’s where my fast lenses earn their keep — candlelit speeches, laughter across the tables, dancing inches from the brickwork. Nothing staged or floodlit; your photos will feel as warm and intimate as the room itself.
