I only discovered @wearefidelio a few weeks ago when a friend took me along to see @jrapepper perform. It’s one of those places you can walk past a hundred times without realising what’s going on inside. Then you step in, and it’s something else entirely.

It’s a restaurant, yes. But it’s also a music venue, and I’d say a cultural hub. Fidelio was started in 2019 by Raffaello Morales. The idea is simple, but quite ambitious — to bring together music, food and people in a way that feels natural rather than formal. Classical music sits at the centre, but not in a precious way. It’s reworked, reimagined, and made accessible. The name itself nods to Beethoven’s only opera, and also to Kubrick’s take on Traumnovelle, which gives you a sense of the mix of influences at play.

When I photographed Rafaello, I asked what ties all his different interests together — music, food, storytelling, even his background in physics and finance. He said, “harmony.” I liked that. You feel it in the beautifully crafted menu and world class music on offer.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes too. Alongside the café, there’s the Fidelio Orchestra, giving young musicians a way into professional performance. It all feels part of the same idea — creating something meaningful, but also enjoyable.

Ashley Simmonds runs the hospitality side of things. You can feel his influence straight away. There’s a warmth to the room, an ease. Before this, he was a dancer and actor, and he still sees the floor as his stage — just with better food and wine. Ashley brings his performer’s skill set to Fidelio and it shows.

Fidelio is not a big place, and that’s part of its charm. You’re close to the music and close to the people. It feels personal and very special. taken in Clerkenwell by @wearefidelio

Making your wedding day completely unique to you is exactly what anyone getting married should do!

This is just what Signe and Ilyes did for their London wedding hosted at the Fidelio Cafe in Farringdon.

As their guests were arriving, I captured the bride grooms first look together, where Signe could show off the dress, the dress that she’d made HERSELF! Before the three of us took a stroll down the streets, the same streets where the couple began their relationship years before. We popped to a fish and chip shop for a quick snack, and smoked some cigars, before heading back to the Cafe for the ceremony which was being conducted by a close friend of the couple. (Having couple portraits before the ceremony is a great way to utilise your time, calm you down before your ceremony, and ensure your drinks reception is quality time with your guests!)

After a heartfelt ceremony with personalised vows, the couple walked back down the aisle to the Brooklyn Nine Nine theme song (which I was obsessed with)!

The reception kicked off with great food, drinks, and a spot of Bingo which was a great way for all the guests from across the globe to get to know each other really well!

Classic brunch dish but with a bit of obsession to detail. Smashed avocado marinated in lemon and sea salt, 4 minute poached eggs seasoned with sumac, chives and ground pepper on a toasted slice of @breadbreadbakery Brixton sourdough
