Alex & Louis’ Fusion Celebration at Asylum Chapel & AMP Studios

Alex & Louis’ Fusion Celebration at Asylum Chapel & AMP Studios

If you ever needed proof that weddings don’t have to follow a rulebook, Alex and Louis’ day is it.

They kicked off the morning exactly how they wanted: getting ready together at home with their little boy Django and their two furry sidekicks, Yeti and Gigi, running around in the mix. No first look nerves, no rushing between separate rooms, just the calm, chaotic, completely them kind of morning that set the tone for the rest of the day.

Then it was off to Asylum Chapel in Peckham, one of my favourite venues for storytelling and light. Jess May, their celebrant, led a ceremony that blended French, Spanish, and British traditions, complete with live guitar, laughter, and the kind of emotional chaos that makes you forget you’re working behind the camera.

There were readings, songs (yes, a full-on singalong of Une Belle Histoire that had everyone belting in French), and even a naming ceremony for their son, Django Leo Vincent Giles, the absolute star of the show. Between the vows (“in laughter and in chaos, in calm and in storm”) and the audience singing Djangoleo to the Gypsy Kings, there wasn’t a dry eye or still foot in the room.

After a confetti exit and champagne toast in the courtyard, everyone made their way over to AMP Studios for the reception, and if you’re imagining a classic sit-down meal, think again. Instead, guests were greeted by a lineup of food trucks serving duck burgers, falafel, and coffee straight from a vintage van, proving that street food at weddings will always be elite.

As the sun went down, speeches kicked off, equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, with more than one costume surprise that had the whole place in stitches. Then came the band, turning AMP Studios into the kind of dance floor you never want to leave.

From the nostalgic nods to their Parisian childhood to the warmth of their modern-day family, Alex and Louis’ day felt like a celebration of every version of them, past, present, and everything still to come.

The kind of wedding that reminds you love isn’t perfect, it’s real. It’s teamwork, music, food trucks, a baby on your hip, and your best people screaming along to Djangoleo.

And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you ever needed proof that weddings don’t have to follow a rulebook, Alex and Louis’ day is it.
