Hey why not take a look at this photo slideshow of nine of the many weddings Peter has photographed and videoed at the Newbury Berkshire Registry Office. The slideshow runs from the arrivals to some of the later day parties. The slideshow should give you a really good feel for what happens on a wedding day at this photogenic old venue. See the photos in this slideshow or in this sample gallery below:

You can also watch a very short 4k highlights video of one of the ceremonies at Newbury Registry Office via my Ashton Lamont Youtube Page.

Background Information and Highlights

Lets get something understood right away! This gallery is unlike most other galleries on my site because Newbury Registry Office - also known as Newbury Register Office - seems to attract lots of couples who prefer short duration photographic coverage and lots of group photos and portraits. I may offer special short duration terms - please enquire. If you are interested in longer durations - perhaps starting with the girls getting ready, then the ceremony at the registry office, and finishing in the evening at one of the very many local wedding venues, and additional styles of photography - please do have a browse on some of the other local Ashton Lamont galleries.

Anyway, Newbury Register Office is located just north of the town centre and close to the junction of the M4 and A34 - so its easily reached. There is plenty of onsite parking; parking access is closed until shortly before the opening time.

The building - Shaw House - is a handsome old Elizabethan mansion. Both inside and outside, with the mature gardens, are great for photos. Shaw House can be busy as its also open for tourists, plus several weddings may be booked per day so don't be late!

I have worked at this wedding venue lots of times and with most of the registrars at the various other local venues. The registration staff are in the main very helpful and do not make onerous restrictions on professional photography and video.

Many registry office photo and video coverage starts with the arrival of the guests etc at the venue. But some brides do like to have coverage of them getting ready, perhaps at a local hotel or a private house. Shoes, dress, flowers and suchlike are popular subjects

If the sunlight is very bright these conditions can be tricky for photography because the contrast is so extreme. Fortunately there are mature trees which when in leaf and combined with some fill-flash from flashguns can help reduce the contrast

Many couples prefer a relaxed informal style of photography but do like to have some semi-posed photos of the VIP guests

The next two photos are actually screen grabs from the video that Peter shot at this wedding. Some clients like to have just photo coverage, just video coverage, or both. If the ambient lighting is decent then it may be possible to create photos from the original video files. You can watch this short micro-wedding video on Youtube

Usually the very young guests do stay on their best behaviour but occasionally not so much; however that can make the photo so funny! See another in this Instagram post
