My approach to wedding photography is genuine, candid, and documentary. I like to document genuine moments that happen during your day. Beautiful pictures can be taken on a simple walk, but if you prefer, I can also take formal family photos. I have a relaxed and unhurried approach to help ensure a stress-free wedding.

I work across London and am recommended by leading city wedding venues. Click below my view my portfolio.

Are you looking for Rosewood Hotel Wedding Photographers?

Hello, I’m John Sanders, a wedding photographer who specialises in a relaxed documentary style. I’ve been taking pictures at weddings at the Rosewood Hotel and all over London for more than ten years. I concentrate on capturing natural, unposed moments that capture the wedding day’s story.

John Sanders – Rosewood Hotel Wedding Photographer

I have a lot of experience as a wedding photographer, have won awards for my wedding photography work, and am a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. My lifelong interest has been in wedding photography. I know only some enjoy having their photo taken. My documentary style is more laid-back, as I want my couples to feel comfortable at all times. I aim to blend in with the other guests at your Rosewood Hotel wedding.

Relax On Your Wedding Day

You cannot have a typical wedding day because every couple is unique. It must be something that both of you, as a couple, can relate to. It can be challenging to select the best venue, dress, decor, and other details, including the photographer! I’m hoping that with how I shoot, you’ll find it simple to pick me as your wedding photographer. My approach and focus are on you, ensuring you’re at ease and able to take in the day. The best way to choose your wedding photographer is to schedule a chat about your ideas and expectations.

The History of Rosewood Hotel

This Grade II building originally housed the Pearl Assurance Company’s corporate offices. The structure consists of four blocks: the central block was completed in 1919; the east block, which includes Scarfes Bar, was built in the late 1920s; the southeast extension was constructed in the 1950s; and the final west block was completed by 1960.

The Marriott group re-opened the building as the Renaissance Chancery Court hotel in 2000 but it changed name to The Chancery Court Hotel until July 2013. The Hong Kong-based Rosewood Hotels & Resorts group then bought the hotel and completely refurbished it to launch the Rosewood London Hotel in 2013.
