Covent Garden – Wedding Car Hire London
Location: The Piazza, Westminster & Camden, London
Recommended Car: Rolls-Royce Dawn (Ensign Red)
Located between Westminster and Camden Town, Covent Garden is not only one of London’s most popular shopping locations, but is also a great backdrop for wedding photography. This is especially true at night, when the soft glow of street lamps and shop signs illuminate the area into a dazzling backdrop of twinkling lights. Out of all the vehicles in Phantom Hire’s luxury fleet, the one that perhaps best matches Covent Garden is the Rolls-Royce Dawn, specifically its Ensign Red variant. The car’s status as Phantom Hire’s only convertible car perfectly matches the oddball atmosphere of Covent Garden, whilst the deep hue of its red paint complements the multicoloured walls and tiling of the piazza.
St Paul’s Cathedral – Wedding Car Hire London
Location: St. Paul’s Churchyard, City of London, London
Recommended Car: Rolls-Royce Phantom 8
When it comes to religious landmarks, few come close in terms of iconicity than St. Paul’s Cathedral. This towering piece of historical architecture is a marvel to look at, and also holds of being the second largest church building in the UK, as well as the largest in London. If you’re celebrating your wedding in London – or even better, are celebrating your ceremony at St Paul’s itself – getting a photo with your wedding car outside this behemoth of a cathedral is an absolute must.
We’d recommend pairing this photospot with a Rolls-Royce Phantom 8, widely considered to be the best wedding vehicle on the market. This lofty status makes the Phantom a match made in heaven for St Paul’s, not least because its arctic white paint job matches the grandiosity of the cathedral’s winding spires and polished marble pillars.
Big Ben Clock Tower via The River Thames – Wedding Car Hire London
Location: Westminster, London
Recommended Car: Rolls-Royce Dawn (Miami Blue)
Big Ben is so iconic it practically serves as a represntation of not just London, but England in general. Show anyone in the world that iconic clock face set into that marvellously sculpted tower, and they’ll instantly be able to tell you what it is and what city it’s located in. If you’re having a wedding in London, you simply can’t afford not to have a wedding photo taken next to this instantly recognisable landmark.
The best place to get a shot of Big Ben in the background is opposite the House of Parliament by the River Thames. Not only does this get you a full view of the clocktower in the background of your shot, it also allows you to capture the glittering waters of the river at the bottom of the frame, adding an extra dash of personality to your photos. We would highly recommend choosing the Rolls-Royce Dawn in Miami Blue for this endeavour, as its dark blue paint perfectly matches the deep water of the Thames.
Hyde Park – Wedding Car Hire London
Location: Kensington, London
Recommended Car: Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Green spaces in London are not hard to come by, as the city boasts a wide range of parks and gardens that provide a more naturalistic background for your wedding photography, from the lush Regent’s Park to the quaint Kensington Gardens. However, the largest and most impressive of these is Hyde Park, which offers wide open fields and clusters of woodland that would provide a stark contrast to the glittering cityscapes that London is famous for. If you’re part of a wedding couple who fancies a more rustic approach to their wedding photography, Hyde Park can’t be recommended highly enough.
The vast openness of Hyde Park means that wedding car photography is made that much easier, as the car has more space in which to position itself for more creative photo angles. We’d highly suggest booking a Rolls-Royce Cullinan for your wedding photo need in Hyde Park. Firstly, the car’s robust frame and jet black colouring contrast nicely against the picturesque look of Hyde Park. Secondly, the car’s 4×4 tyres mean that the car can traverse the grass more easily, allowing for a wider variety of backdrops than if you were only able to park the car on the road.
