If you’re planning a wedding at Lichfield Registry Office, then this is the post for you! I’ve photographed lots of weddings here over the years, and there’s just something about the mix of historic charm, simplicity, and relaxed vibes that makes it a perfect choice for couples who want to keep things meaningful (and stress-free).
And because I love it so much, I even have a special 2-hour photography package just for Lichfield Registry Office weddings (click here for details!). It’s ideal for micro weddings, shorter celebrations, or if you’re planning to celebrate with a bigger party later.

Why Choose Lichfield Registry Office for Your Wedding?
Not every wedding needs a huge country house or sprawling marquee. Lichfield Registry Office has its own kind of magic:
Central location – right in the heart of Lichfield, so it’s easy for guests.
Character & history – the ceremony room is simple yet elegant, with plenty of charm.
Perfect for micro weddings – whether it’s just the two of you and a couple of witnesses or a slightly bigger gathering, it feels personal and intimate.
If you’re after a day that’s all about the people you love (without the fuss), this place works perfectly.

My 2-Hour Photography Package at Lichfield Registry Office
I created this package with this venue in mind. Two hours is the perfect amount of time to capture:
Guests arriving and little candid moments before the ceremony
The ceremony itself (all those emotions!)
Confetti and hugs afterwards
A relaxed set of portraits either outside the registry office, around Beacon Park, or even in front of Lichfield Cathedral if you fancy a short walk
It’s all about telling the story without feeling like the photography is taking over your day.
Candid, Relaxed Photography
My style is very relaxed and natural. I won’t have you standing in stiff poses for hours – I’ll capture things as they happen. The way you laugh during your vows. The big cheer as you walk out as newlyweds. The confetti being thrown (and finding its way everywhere!).
We’ll also grab a handful of group photos if you’d like them – nothing too formal, just relaxed, real moments.
Beautiful Photo Spots Around Lichfield
One of the best things about choosing Lichfield Registry Office is the variety of backdrops nearby:
The registry office steps – perfect for that classic confetti and family group photo.
Beacon Park – just a few steps away, with greenery, flowers, and space for more relaxed portraits.
Garden of Remembrance – just across the road, with lovely views of the Cathedral and Minster Pool, it’s always a favourite spot for photos.
Lichfield Cathedral – if you’re up for a short stroll, it’s an iconic backdrop and makes for some beautiful couple shots.
Lichfield City streets – full of character, perfect for natural walking shots (and you might get a few cheers from passers-by!).
It means you get a mix of natural, urban, and historic settings – all without needing to travel far.
Real Weddings at Lichfield Registry Office
Every wedding has its own feel - take a look through these photos to see how different couples made the day their own.
James & Jeanette - so much love during this intimate ceremony. After some beautiful photos outside, the couple and their family headed back home for drinks and delicious food cooked by a local chef.
Niamh & Andrew - the biggest smiles all day, and just look at those autumnal colours! They arrived in style in a classic Morris Minor, and finished the day off with a cosy meal (and bottomless hot chocolates!) at Bistro Number 19.
Gem & Lee - this one was all about the relaxed glamour with statement heels and champagne-gold accents. They took a quick stroll down to The Winehouse for their drinks reception and wedding breakfast.
Is a Lichfield Registry Office Wedding Right for You?
If you’re planning something small, heartfelt, and relaxed – then yes, absolutely. This venue is especially popular with couples who:
Want a simple, meaningful ceremony without a huge fuss
Are planning a micro wedding or elopement
Would rather spend their budget on a meal or celebration later
Like the idea of being able to celebrate in central Lichfield afterwards

Planning Your Photography
If you’re booking your wedding here, I’d recommend:
Booking early – the registry office fills up quickly, especially on Saturdays, so if you have a specific time in mind for your ceremony, don't leave it until the last minute to book.
Thinking about timings – two hours of photography works perfectly to cover the main story.
Keeping it simple – the day will fly by, and the best photos are always the real, in-between moments.
