We were delighted to hear the news from our friends at Bridebook, that on Monday the government announced plans to consider relaxing laws around wedding venues. The changes, if they are approved mean that couple’s will have more choice when choosing a wedding venue, including their home or garden. To celebrate, we thought we’d share some of our favourite shots from homes, gardens and other awesome yet currently unlicensed venues…

Previously due to restrictions around licensing, for couples getting married at many outdoor venues and those that choose to get married at home, a separate ceremony officially registering the wedding has had to take place at either a church or a registry office but under the government’s new plans, this will no longer be the case. 

The changes are intended to 

• Increase competition among wedding venues
• Lower barriers for couples who want to marry
• Reduce restrictions for approved premises
• Give couples more choice of where to get married
• Cater for the demand for outdoor weddings

Essentially all this should make weddings more affordable and easier. And for us, if the changes go ahead this means even more unique and wonderful locations for us to photograph. We look forward to hearing the updates.
