Simple, Stylish & So Full of Love: A Burton Registry Office Wedding

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding at Burton Registry Office in Burton upon Trent, and it was the perfect reminder that love doesn’t need to be complicated to be completely magical.

The couple opted for my Simple Ceremony & Formals Photo Package, which focuses on capturing the essential moments with elegance and ease. It’s ideal for couples who want beautiful memories without all the fuss, and this day proved just how stunning simplicity can be.

After their heartfelt ceremony at Burton Registry Office, we stepped just a short walk away to one of my favourite local portrait spots, the Washlands. With wide open space, gorgeous natural textures, and views of the River Trent, it was the perfect backdrop for their bride and groom portraits.

A couple shares a joyful moment on a serene path lined with bare trees, the bride in a light blue gown and veil, holding a bouquet of vibrant red flowers as they embrace the tranquility of their special day.

And let’s talk about that moody sky. Some might wish for blue skies on their wedding day, but we made the most of the overcast weather, using the soft, diffused light to create romantic, cinematic portraits. There’s something so timeless and artistic about those grey skies, and it gave their photos a truly atmospheric edge.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate moment like this one, Burton upon Trent has so many hidden gems for wedding photography. The registry office is warm, welcoming, and full of character, and with locations like the Washlands nearby, it’s easy to turn a short and simple wedding into a gallery of unforgettable images.
