Filming a wedding at Old Sessions House
Old Sessions House on Clerkenwell Green is a Grade II Palladian former courthouse turned 18,000 square feet of celebration space - domed ceilings, weathered plaster, a rooftop pool, and the default choice for London's most fashion-forward weddings.
This is a venue chosen by couples who think in images. The film needs to meet that standard: editorial framing, honest grain, movement through those extraordinary rooms.
Honest note: I haven't filmed a wedding at Old Sessions House yet - this guide is written for couples planning one there. Before any new venue I scout in person or arrive early on the day, walking the ceremony and reception spaces and planning shots around the light, so nothing is left to chance.
How I'd film your day here
- The domed ceremony rooms give scale and symmetry - I shoot the wide from the balcony, the vows from the aisle.
- Weathered plaster walls are the best portrait backdrop in Clerkenwell - texture that no styling can fake.
- Multi-floor flow means the film moves through distinct moods: ceremony grandeur, lounge intimacy, party energy.
Central London airspace restricts drone use, but the building's interiors and rooftop provide all the drama a film needs.
Not yet - consider this a planning guide. Before any new venue I visit or arrive early on the day to scout ceremony sightlines, light and sound, so the coverage is planned rather than improvised.
