Seniha and Erkut’s wedding in the Dorchester Hotel in London was a long day for Stuart, but he loved every second of it. It was a huge family affair, and from the minute he arrived he was caught up with all that was going on. Both parties were getting ready in the Dorchester, so Stuart was able to visit between the rooms, covering both Seniha and Erkut’s preparations.
The ceremony itself was held in the Ballroom of the Dorchester Hotel, and then the formals were taken on the main Staircase. We are usually quite strict with our formals – people don’t hire us for a line-em-up-shoot-em-down style of photography, so we usually recommend a maximum of 12. however Seniha and Erkut had discussed this with Stuart, explained how large their families were, how important these formals were to them, and asked Stuart how flexible he could be. Of course, Stuart sensed how important this was to his couple, and agreed to wing it on the day as they went along. In then end, nearly 60 formals were taken! By the time they were done, and Seniha and Erkut were on their way up to the Penthouse with Stuart for their own private session, Seniha admitted she was ‘all photographed out’. So they didn’t take long – just enough to make the most of the grand velvet curtains, the fountain on the terrace and the amazing view before they returned to the party downstairs.
