The Century Club Wedding Photography
The Century Club hides in plain sight on Shaftesbury Avenue — a private members’ club with light-filled rooms, a rooftop terrace over the theatre district and an air of creative Soho seclusion. Weddings here feel like the city’s best-kept secret.
Natural light floods those upper rooms, and the rooftop gives you Soho’s rooftops as your backdrop — brilliant for portraits as the theatre lights come on below. I work quietly through it all, catching the day’s real texture: laughter on the terrace, candlelight indoors, the two of you above it all.
