Background Information and Highlights
Basingstoke Register Office (more commonly referred to as "Registry Office) is a pretty wedding venue both inside and outside and is very popular with couples. Its located within walking distance just south of the town centre.
The Register Office staff are always very friendly and helpful and there are no onerous restrictions on professional wedding photography and video during ceremonies.
Peter has worked at this venue many times and is based just a few minutes drive away in between Basingstoke and Reading. He has supplied photos requested by Hampshire County Council for their use in their various information booklets.
Many couples who book Basingstoke Register Office prefer a strict target budget or may have low numbers of guests and so like to keep their professional photo coverage to just the Office and to the War Memorial Park which is a couple of hundred yards away. Peter offers special short notice / short duration packages for this - please enquire.

The first photo above shows the front exterior of Goldings, the Basingstoke Registry Office. The large mature tree previously to the left just outside this photo has now been chopped down - what a crime! It was an excellent source of shade during bright sunshine - which is great for photography because otherwise skin complexions can be less than ideal in full sun due to the contrasty direct lighting which no amount of editing afterwards can match the shaded results. However the steps around the main entrance usually have a great selection of bedding flowers next to them and this area is a lovely backdrop for your must have group and portrait photos.
Just a few yards away from the venue is Basingstoke War Memorial Park complete with its bandstand. A terrific location to use for your wedding portraits and group photos as the immediate exterior of the Register Office can get very busy with frequent ceremonies especially at weekends

Wedding ceremony in progress at Goldings Basingstoke Registry Office. It can be tricky to photograph the brides face if the photographer is at the front of the room. This is because there is no table between the registrar conducting the ceremony and the bride and groom so the couple are very close to the wall. Plus it is not possible to be located next to the second registrar sitting at their own table. So it is best to move to the back of the room part way through the ceremony having already included the various guests watching the ceremony
Lovely smile by the bride!
