Sometimes, to have the wedding of your dreams, you have to switch things up a bit and do things differently! In Hannah & Jack’s case this meant getting married at Bedford Town Hall registry office in front of their closest family members before their “proper” wedding the following Saturday. This took care of the legalities so they’d be able to have the ceremony they wanted on the big day: an outdoor celebration officiated by one of Hannah’s brothers in the garden of a countryside home.

I met them outside the hall as they greeted their family members in the spring sunshine before heading inside for their ceremony which was short, sweet and full of smiles. After saying their vows in front of their nearest and dearest, we all took a short walk down to the Embankment for photos alongside the River Great Ouse.

After photos with family, we snuck off for a few minutes to take some joyful couple photos in the sunshine, and shortly after Hannah & Jack headed off to the Embankment Hotel to meet their families for lunch.

It just goes to show that no matter how short the celebration, it’s always a joy having photographs to remember it by! If you’re looking to have a similar registry office wedding, my hourly coverage package is perfect for this. Just pop me an email detailing your plans and I’ll be happy to help!
