Registry Office Wedding

Registry Office Wedding. Vicki and Alan celebrated their registry office wedding on a lovely day in Dublin. They traveled from Scotland to get married at the Registry Office. I aimed to capture a nice sense of the city in their wedding photographs, especially since some of Dublin’s loveliest parts are nearby. I also enjoy taking couples along a specific route after their registry office ceremony, which includes the banks of the Grand Canal, Georgian Dublin, and concludes at Merrion Square Park.

My Creative Approach To A Registry Office Wedding

I photographed Vikki and Alan as they were walking through this part of the city. Thus, they felt like they were taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Not like they were posing for wedding photographs. I like to photograph a registry office wedding in a natural manner. Brides look at their most beautiful when they do not have to worry about posing.

Wedding guests look at their very best when they do not feel like someone is photographing them. The experience resembled a guided tour of Georgian Dublin. The photography was relaxing and enjoyable, providing a sense of story and place. We wrapped up the photography session at O’Donoghue’s on Baggot Street. Alan and Vikki wanted to enjoy a nice pint of Guinness in a traditional Irish pub.

What If It’s Raining?

I have photographed a number of weddings in the rain, so I have a backup plan for locations. That said, it has only happened on a few occasions, and 98% of the time, the weather behaves itself or clears up, so we can get all the pictures done.

On the few occasions it rained we were still able to get all the photographs with a few changes to locations. We can still do the group portion on the canal. Everyone can put their umbrellas up for one picture, like a parasol. Then take them down quickly so I can get that picture. So you will have both versions. There is good tree coverage on the banks of the canal to do the family pictures.

Then I go to St. Stephen’s Green with the couple. There is loads of good tree coverage there at all times of year. Close by is The National Library, Trinity College and The National Museum has beautiful architectural coverage to add to the story of the day.

When rain was forecast, a bride once bought a white umbrella that matched her dress. It thus added to the story and charm of the pictures.

So there are a lot of alternative options around the city centre so we can still get that nice sense of Dublin in the pictures. Whilst remaining dry and still enjoying the time. These are just ideas and of course if a couple has any other preferences around town.

Registry Office Wedding Photography

I hope you enjoyed my Registry Office wedding photography. I am a registry office wedding photographer in Dublin with over 10 years of experience. It is one of my favourite locations in Dublin to photograph a wedding. This is because of all the lovely locations for wedding photographs close by.

I always like to give a sense of story and place to registry office wedding photographs. Over the years I have formulated a nice route that takes in the banks of the Grand Canal, Georgian Dublin and Merrion Square Park.

This approach makes the bride and groom feel like they are taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Thus they were not like they were posing for wedding photographs.  It also created a nice story of the day and I like to keep a couples’ wedding photographs natural and unposed as possible.

I also came up with the idea a few years ago to do the group portrait of the guest stand on the Locks crossing the canal.  The scene has a painterly quality to it and is an unusual angle. It is also only three minutes from the registry office. It is thus handy for everyone to walk up to it.

The banks of the canal beside the lock also are a nice place for the family pictures.  All in all it does not take too much time, around 15 minutes. The guests are then free to go onto the reception venue.

The Wedding Day

On this lovely summers day I met with Susan and Alan at the registry office. After a lovely wedding ceremony we all set off with the guests to the lock across the canal for the group photograph. Guests always find this a lot of fun.  It is not your typical group shot angle and everyone always seems to enjoy it. The photograph also has a painterly quality to it. 

We then did the family pictures on the banks of the canal. There I also try to make as natural looking as possible. This all went very quickly and then the guests could go off to the reception venue.  I then set off with Alan and Susan on the route we had agreed upon.

I really just photographed Susan and Alan walking around Georgian Dublin and the canal on their way to the wedding reception. It was relaxing and fun, I like to keep it easy and not make a fuss. We came across a number of surprises that Susan and Alan wanted to add to the pictures. A vintage Volkswagen Van and a Mustang. The couple were dog lovers so we also met a shaggy dog that was happy to pose with Susan and Alan for a few photographs.

Susan and Alan were delighted with their wedding photographs which is always one of the most rewarding parts of wedding photography for me. They also thought they looked very natural which is the style they were looking for.

What If It’s Raining?

I have photographed a number of weddings in the rain so I have a backup plan for locations. That said it has only happened on a few occasions and 98% of the time the weather behaves itself. Or it clears up so we can get all the pictures done.

Dublin Registry Office Wedding

Dublin Registry Office Wedding. A lovely sunny day in December for Janette and Riley’s Dublin Registry Office Wedding.

Since it gets dark early at this time of year, Janette and Riley decided to meet before the ceremony. There are especially some lovely moments of them seeing each other for the first time at The Morgan Hotel.

We all then set off on a nice route I have planned out over the years for pictures near the registry office. Taking in the banks of the Grand Canal, Georgian Dublin and Merrion Square Park by the Oscar Wilde statue. I always like to give a sense of story and place to a registry office wedding photographs.

I always really enjoy photographing a wedding at the Dublin registry office. It is one of my favourite type of weddings to photograph. There are so many beautiful backdrops for the photographs in the surrounding areas.

My Creative Approach To A Registry Office Wedding

Since my background is as a photojournalist, I always like to give a sense of story and place to a couples wedding photographs. I went to New York straight after college and worked with The New York Times for seven years.

I really just photographed Janette and Riley walking through the city. Such an approach always makes the bride and groom feel like they are taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Not like they were posing for wedding photographs. It also creates a nice story of the day.

After that, we met with the wedding guests on the banks of the canal, just two minutes from the registry office. It is a nice spot for photographs and very handy as it is so close.

The idea came to me at Janette and Riley’s wedding to do the group portrait standing on the Locks crossing the canal. It makes for a nice new angle and has a painterly quality to it. In addition guests always find it a bit of fun too.

The majority of couples that choose me as their wedding photographer do not like having their photograph taken. However couples always tell me that my approach added to the experience and memories of their day rather than taking away from it.

I think it would be lovely for couples in years to come to look back at pictures of them strolling through our lovely city on their wedding day.

Above all Janette and Riley were delighted with their photographs. So this is always the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

What If It’s Raining?

I have photographed a number of weddings in the rain so I have a backup plan for locations. That said it has only happened on a few occasions and 98% of the time the weather behaves itself. Or it clears up so we can get all the pictures done.

Social Distancing

Using a portrait lens, technically I have to be at least 3 metres from the subject to achieve focus. Therefore it is possible to capture your registry office wedding beautifully whilst adhering to social distancing. Also capturing a wedding in a natural way, I never need to touch or interfere in a scene.
