This intimate Bury St Edmunds wedding was the perfect example of how beautiful a smaller celebration can be. Following Elisha & Tony’s relaxed ceremony at Bury St Edmunds Registry Office, we wandered through the streets of Bury St Edmunds followed by the beautiful Abbey Gardens for their couple portraits, making the most of the historic surroundings and beautiful pockets of greenery.
This intimate celebration was perfect for Elisha & Tony’s chilled lifestyle, they wanted a small intimate gathering with their closest family and friends followed by an evening party back at home. It was truly an honour to capture their intimate ceremony.

Where can you have wedding photographs after a Bury St Edmunds Registry Office ceremony?
After a Bury St Edmunds Registry Office ceremony, there are some lovely locations nearby for wedding photographs. Abbey Gardens is a particularly beautiful choice, with its historic ruins, gardens and open green spaces giving plenty of variety for relaxed couple portraits. It’s also close enough to the registry office that you don’t need to lose lots of time travelling between locations.
The surrounding Bury St Edmunds town centre can also work beautifully for photographs, especially if you love a slightly more editorial feel, with historic streets, architecture and characterful backdrops. For an intimate wedding, keeping your portraits close to the ceremony venue helps the day feel relaxed and unhurried while still giving you a lovely variety of images.
Is Abbey Gardens a good location for wedding portraits?
Yes! Abbey Gardens is a beautiful location for wedding portraits, particularly if you’re getting married in Bury St Edmunds. The gardens offer a lovely mix of greenery, flowers, pathways and historic Abbey ruins, so you can create plenty of variety without having to travel far.
It works especially well for relaxed, natural couple portraits, as you can simply walk through the gardens together while your photographer captures a mixture of candid moments and gently guided photographs. The historic surroundings also add a timeless feel to the images, making Abbey Gardens a lovely choice for both intimate weddings and larger celebrations.
