Modern City Wedding Photography: Farmers Image Of The Week

When this image from Emily and Katy popped up on my feed, I stopped scrolling immediately. There’s something so powerful in its restraint. The styling, the tones, the setting – it all comes together in such a self-assured and elegant way.

Let’s start with the couple. The bride’s sculptural dress is an absolute showstopper, especially with that dramatic bow-meets-train detail at the back. She’s serving old-Hollywood elegance with a thoroughly modern edge. The groom, in a crisp white tux and shades, complements her effortlessly. This is style, not flash. It’s refinement, not fuss.

Shot at the ever-popular Marylebone Town Hall, this image still feels fresh, and that’s no easy feat. Emily and Katy have taken the time to match the location with the couple. The muted stone columns echo the couple’s neutral palette, and the pocket of soft light gives just enough definition while keeping everything clean and understated.

Compositionally, it’s strong. The pillars frame the couple without overpowering them – there’s space to breathe, but still a clear connection between photographer and subject. The couple are posed, but they don’t feel posed, and that’s a skill.

In a sea of editorial-style wedding work, this stands out by being calm, confident, and considered. It’s proof that less can be more when it’s done well. You should check out their Insta post from this wedding to see that frock from behind, it is just stunning, and the girls have done it justice in their treatment.
