Yes
mansfield register office are now letting us take shots during the ceremony (no flash).
about bloomin time.
are there any more out there who do the same.? just curious.
the lady shooting the wedding after us today looked familiar.
was it one of you lot?
i did have a brief natter, but mo time for a good gas.
 
Been allowed to do that down here in Devon for a while now.
 
Aylesbury lets you, flash and all! Not that you would want a gig at Aylesbury Registry Office!

Hemel Hempstead you can take photos all the time but no flash except at the register signing.

However, it does vary with Registrar.
 
vale of glamorgan are the best they let you do anything from using flash and even moving around
 
Did one in South London and they were fine, that was filming mind, but think I remember the tog getting some shots in there too.
 
Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Kent, Hertfordshire, Hampshire, Devon, Essex, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire all allow it as a matter of course.

In fact I haven't been to a civil wedding anywhere in the last couple of years that I haven't been able to sweet talk the registrar into shots during the ceremony.
 
It's OK in Liverpool, but again without flash.

Got married in Exeter (Devon) last year and NO photography allowed during the ceremony. Had to wait for the fake register before anyone was allowed to take any shots at all.

I've been wondering about this for a few weeks now. Why don't they normally allow pictures to be taken during the actual wedding/signing? Is it a relatively new law?

I would expect that to be one of the most important moments that a couple and family would want to capture in photos! And faking it? Well what's the point? Why not just allow it during the real event?!
 
i would guess it is the distracting flash going off.

solihull registry office let you(without flash). went to one there the other week, someone stood up with a nikon set to auto and a 70-300(i think??). someone mentioned something to him and he sat down till afterwards then, the poor woman looked like a rabbit in headlights! the missus sat there clicking away all through though without flash.
 
Even during the real signing of the register, the other entries were covered up - presumably for data protection reasons. Not a problem for us - we were getting married for US and will always have the memories despite not having the photos of the actual instant we made a mark on a piece of paper.

We didn't have an "official" photographer - all the guests (all 8 of them) had a camera and took photos. When we got back here, I nicked all their cards and copied the images onto my 'puter, as well as getting the MiL's film processed and copied to CD. We therefore have a good representation of shots from other people's viewpoints.

In fact, in total - including a new suit and a new outfit for my wife as well as a meal for us all and a cake plus champagne - we spent less than a cousin did on just having the bridesmaids' shoes dyed to match the limo. Sorry but we've got far better things to spend money on than several grand wasted (IOO) on a day's events that for many people will be regretted after a few years anyway. (I should point out that my wife and I have been together for over 20 years and married in part to deny the taxman a significant wedge should I die!)
 
I like the cut of your jib, Nod :)

Nottingham were quite happy to let me shoot without flash :)
