Saying "I do" at Bury St Edmunds Registry Office

The British summer decided to show off all its moods for Mark & Emma’s bury st edmunds wedding – sunshine one minute, wind and rain the next. None of it mattered. The smiles were bigger than the clouds, and the atmosphere inside Bury St Edmunds Registry Office was full of warmth, laughter and that quiet pre-ceremony excitement.

Mark looked calm (on the outside at least), Emma absolutely glowing, and their family and friends were fully invested from the first step down the aisle. I focused on capturing the honest, unscripted moments – the glances, the nervous laughs, the way hands squeezed just that little bit tighter during the vows. These are the moments that really tell the story of a wedding day.

Confetti, Laughter & Abbey Gardens

After the ceremony, we made our way to Abbey Gardens - one of the best spots for wedding photos in Bury St Edmunds. Even with the unpredictable weather, the gardens gave us beautiful backdrops, from the historic ruins to the sweeping greenery.

The confetti walk was lively, slightly chaotic (in the best way), and full of genuine joy. Guests leaned into the moment, confetti flew everywhere, and Mark & Emma just laughed their way through it. That’s what makes a bury st edmunds wedding so special – relaxed, personal and centred around the people who matter most.

Being part of days like this is exactly why I love photographing registry office weddings. No fuss. No performance. Just real moments, properly documented.

My Approach to a Bury St Edmunds Wedding

When I photograph a bury st edmunds wedding, I don’t turn it into something it isn’t.

Registry office weddings move quickly. They’re intimate. They’re honest. So I work the same way - calm, observant, and ready for the moments that actually matter.

The nerves before you walk in.
The look across the room during the vows.
The slightly chaotic confetti moment outside.

No staging. No dragging you off for half an hour of posing.

Just solid, natural coverage that reflects what the day actually felt like.
