Photography and Video in the Ceremony 

At each ceremony 1 person can be nominated to take photographs without flash during the ceremony, from a location agreed with the person conducting it. For everyone else with cameras no photographs are allowed during the ceremony itself there, although will be plenty of time for photographs after the Register or Schedule has been signed.

If you are having an official photographer taking photographs of your arrival, ie stepping out of the car or sweeping down a grand staircase, you need to allow time for this before you are required by the Registrar.

Even where you have decided to have a small ceremoy with just witnesses and maybe a few guests do bring cameras. If there is sufficient time the Superintendent Registrar may offer to take a group photograph - although none of us would pretend to be David Bailey so we can't guarantee they'll come out!

Video recording of the ceremony is permitted only by prior arrangement with the Superintendent Registrar and only one camera may be used. The equipment must be hand-held and battery operated - so no lights, cables or tripods for either ourselves or you to trip over! Whilst the majority of the ceremony can be recorded this does not include the signing of the Register or Schedule, as this contains personal details that may not be filmed. The camera operator must remain in the area indicated by the Registrar and comply with any request made to them by the Registration staff.

Neither the Superintendent Registrar, nor Cambridgeshire County Council accept any responsibility for any damage to or loss of any equipment either at, or in, the grounds of Cambridgeshire Register Offices
