Just down the road, and one of my favourite places to photograph

I’m based just outside Lichfield, so register office weddings here are some of my favourites. The Register Office is in the Old Library building on Bird Street, and within a few minutes’ walk you have the Museum Gardens, Minster Pool, the Cathedral Close and the three spires of Lichfield Cathedral.

You don’t need a big venue, a car or a ten-hour day to get photographs you’ll love. A couple of hours is enough for the ceremony, confetti, your family photos and a relaxed walk around the city, just the two of you, while I photograph you along the way.

I keep it calm and unposed: a few gentle suggestions, then I let you enjoy it. Plenty of my couples tell me they don’t like having their photo taken. By the time we reach the cathedral, they’ve usually forgotten I’m there.

Photos worth planning for around the Register Office

Everything is within a few minutes’ walk. Here’s the route I usually suggest. You can see it all in Aleks & Jamie’s wedding.

  1. Confetti outside

    Ask your guests to wait on the path with confetti as you come out. It’s a lovely first photo as a married couple.

  2. The Museum Gardens

    Right next door and nicely shady. A gentle place to start your portraits.

  3. The cathedral and the Close

    Lichfield Cathedral is the only medieval cathedral in England with three spires. Allow twenty minutes or so.

  4. Minster Pool

    Water, benches and spires reflected in the pool. Perfect for relaxed photos of the two of you.

  5. The old streets

    Timber-framed shops and Georgian frontages on Dam Street. Weekday afternoons are quieter.

Good to know

Questions couples ask

How long do we need?

Two hours covers the ceremony, confetti, family photos and a relaxed walk for portraits. Choose three hours if you’d like getting ready, a longer walk, or the start of your meal or drinks.

Do we book the Register Office or you first?

Book your ceremony with Staffordshire Registration Service first, then get in touch with your date and time and I’ll check I’m free.

How many guests can we have?

Staffordshire County Council describes the ceremony room as seating up to 50 guests. Check the latest rooms and numbers with the registrars when you book.

What if it rains?

We adapt. The cathedral porch, the Close and the covered shopfronts give us plenty of shelter, and rainy-day photos can be some of the most romantic.

Can you photograph our meal or party afterwards?

Yes. The three-hour session often covers the start of a meal nearby. For a longer celebration, the part-day package may suit you better.

Do you photograph other register offices?

Yes, across Staffordshire and the West Midlands, including Cannock. Just tell me where you’re getting married.
