Asylum Chapel Wedding Photography in London | Peckham’s Most Atmospheric Venue

Moody, cinematic wedding photography at the Asylum Chapel in Peckham. Real weddings captured in a candid, creative, and documentary style.

Why Choose the Asylum Chapel for Your Wedding?

The Asylum Chapel in Peckham, South London, is one of the most atmospheric wedding venues in the UK. Its raw textures, distressed walls, and stained-glass windows create a cinematic backdrop that feels moody and romantic. Unlike a blank-canvas venue, the Chapel already has character in every corner—so you don’t need to over-style it for it to look incredible.

It works beautifully in all seasons: winter ceremonies by candlelight, golden light streaming through the stained glass in summer, and city streets just outside for portraits that feel uniquely London. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines history, soul, and edge, Asylum Chapel is unforgettable.

FAQ

Got Questions?

Yes, candlelight and stained glass create moody, cinematic ceremonies…

Peckham backstreets, nearby pubs, and quick stops en route to your reception…
Or even in the Asylum itself!

No, the venue’s character does the heavy lifting…

In winter, go earlier. Aim for 12:00–14:00 ceremonies so you’ve got natural light for confetti, groups, and portraits. In summer you can push later, but always leave at least 60–90 mins of daylight after the ceremony for photos.

Sometimes you can pause for a short drinks moment outside (weather/permission dependent). For anything longer or indoors, plan your reception at a second venue (e.g., Garden Museum, nearby pubs). Build it into the timeline — don’t assume it’s included. Always confirm rules with the venue.

Outside only and biodegradable (paper or dried petals). Line everyone up at the doors/steps, keep the aisle clear, and do two passes if needed (great for photos, spreads the joy). If it’s raining, switch to a bubbly exit under the porch.
