Tien Nguyen and Justin Cohen (pictured) celebrated their engagement with a wedding-themed photoshoot featured in fashion magazine Elle Italy on Tuesday.
They will marry this December.
The photoshoot directed by Anna Frascisco, an Italian event producer, took place mainly at Two Temple Place in London.
The villa stands along Victoria Embankment in the heart of London, with views of the poetic River Thames.
The building, designed in the Neo-Gothic style, is also known as Astor House.
Its first owner was William Waldorf Astor, a British-American politician, businessman, and philanthropist.
Over the years, the building has passed through multiple owners.
In 2011, Two Temple Place came under the management of the Bulldog Trust charity, transforming into a venue for art exhibitions and events from weddings and fashion shows to product launches and film shoots.
Notably, it also served as a filming location for the British royal drama "The Crown."
The centerpiece of Tien Nguyen's wedding photo shoot is in the main hall.
The couple choose a teal velvet-covered table decorated with red and purple flowers as the main setting. They also captured moments on the streets in a vintage car.
The Great Hall, situated on the villa's second floor, can accommodate 200–300 guests and can be decorated flexibly to suit the tenant’s requirements.
Its classic and luxurious window design also makes it a popular backdrop for wedding photos, as illustrated.
The interior features a combination of mahogany and marble, while the stair railing is adorned with statues inspired by characters from Alexandre Dumas' novel "The Three Musketeers."
The villa's dome and several windows in the main hall feature stained glass, casting enchanting patterns when sunlight streams through.
This is a hallmark of Gothic-style architecture, with the panels often designed to convey stories or messages related to religion or the building's original owner.
Daytime rental of Two Temple Place (9 a.m. – 5 p.m.), excluding party services, starts at £8,000.
A full-day rental (9 a.m. – 11 p.m.) begins at £16,500.
Couples hosting an 11-hour wedding ceremony and reception at the venue typically spend from £15,000.
Tien is the daughter of 73-year-old Jonathan Hanh Nguyen, the founder and chairman of IPPG, Vietnam's leading luxury retailer that holds exclusive distribution rights for over 100 prestigious brands.
Alongside her involvement with the IPPG Fund for Community, Tien commands a strong social media presence, boasting over 254,000 Instagram followers.
