Registry Office Weddings

I have specialized in Registry Office Weddings for over 15 years. I love photographing weddings at one of my favourite locations in Dublin. This venue is surrounded by beautiful locations for wedding photographs. Here are some of my favourite registry office photography from recent years.

My Creative Approach To Registry Office Weddings

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

Such an approach makes the bride and groom feel like they are taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Therefore they do not feel like they are posing for wedding photographs. It also creates a nice story of the day, and I like to keep couples’ wedding photographs as natural and unposed as possible.

I also came up with the idea a few years ago to do the group portrait of the guests standing on the Locks crossing the canal. The scene presents a painterly quality and offers an unusual angle. It is also only three minutes from the registry office, making it convenient for everyone to walk up to it. The banks of the canal beside the lock also provide a lovely place for family pictures. All in all, it takes around 15 minutes. Then, the guests can go on to the reception venue.

The Walk-Through Georgian Dublin

I then set out with the bride and groom on the route along the canal, through Georgian Dublin to Merrion Square Park. This takes around 30 minutes. Couples tell me that the walk added to the happy memories of their day. Rather than taking away from it. A bride recently told me “We all had a wonderful time with sincere thanks for your warmth and professionalism throughout the day. Given that it was such a small group the photography session really ‘made a day out of it’ and gave us some justification for getting dressed up!”  Trudy Duffy

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. In the 15 years I have been photographing weddings there has only been one wedding where it has rained all day. There is always a break in the weather.

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. 

Locations For A Rainy Day

Then I go to St. Stephen’s Green with the couple. There is lots 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. Still getting 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.  

“I Do Not Like Having My Photograph Taken”

This is something I always hear from couples. I do not like having my photograph taken myself so I understand how you feel. To be honest I do not know how I do it but couples always feel very comfortable being being photographed by me. It just comes naturally and I think it is all to do with a photographers personality.

Couples always tell me they ended up really enjoying the portrait session. Despite their initial nerves they were surprised how nice it was. Walking through Dublin makes the process very pleasant. A nice stroll through the city on your wedding day.

So if you do not like having your photograph taken please drop me a line. I will make it all very easy for you. You will have beautiful pictures of your day and look at your very best without having to do anything apart from going for a walk. 

Social Distancing

I will capture your registry office wedding beautifully whilst adhering to social distancing. I use a portrait lens so I have to be at least 3 metres from the subject to achieve focus. Capturing a wedding in a natural way, I never need to touch or interfere in a scene.

Couples have always been delighted with their Registry Office Wedding photographs. So this is always the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

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.

Registry Office Wedding Photographer Dublin

Registry Office Wedding Photographer. With over 15 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 that are 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.

The Registry Office Wedding Day

On this lovely spring day, I met with Sarah at her house to do the getting ready pictures. This I find can be some of the nicest of the day. I never ask people to pose so I always photograph the getting-ready pictures naturally. I just photograph what is happening at the house.

The neighbours and friends gathered at the house to wish the bride well and see her dress, These are very charming pictures of the day. It was then off to the registry office for a lovely wedding ceremony.

After Sarah and Keith were married I set off with the guests to the lock across the canal for the group photograph.  Guests always find a lot of fun.  It is not your typical group shot angle and everyone always seems to enjoy 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 set off with Sarah & Keith on the route we had agreed upon.

I really just photographed Sarah and Keith 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.

Sarah & Keith 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.

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.

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?

Many thanks to Evoke.ie for featuring one of my weddings in their Real Weddings section. A very charming story about how love blossomed across the Atlantic. You may read the feature at https://evoke.ie

Thankfully it was a lovely day in Dublin for Louise and Matt’s wedding at the Dublin Registry Office. They had travelled from the UK for a destination wedding in Dublin. So the good weather was even more appreciated by everyone. It was also just before the lockdown so thankfully their special day was able to happen.

My Creative Approach

I also like to give a sense of story and place to a couples wedding photography. Especially for a Dublin destination wedding. Our beautiful city makes for such a lovely backdrop to wedding photographs.

Registry office weddings are my favourite to photograph. Some of the loveliest parts of Dublin are on the doorstep. I have a nice route that takes in the banks of the Grand Canal and the elegant buildings of Georgian Dublin.

Couples always feel like they felt like they are taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Not posing for wedding photographs. 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.
