The Victorian Marriage Registry – Melbourne’s most iconic small wedding venue

The Victorian Marriage Registry is located in the Old Treasury Building on Spring Street. It’s a beautiful heritage setting with sandstone arches, staircases, and light-filled rooms that make for timeless photos. As a wedding photographer in Melbourne, I’ve captured hundreds of ceremonies here and know the space inside out.

Ceremonies are short but elegant, with options for more personalised touches depending on your style. And when you step outside, you’re right in the heart of some of Melbourne’s best photography spots:

• Old Treasury Building façade – classic, timeless wedding portraits.

• Treasury & Fitzroy Gardens – leafy green backdrops within a short walk.

• Parliament House steps – for dramatic, architectural shots.

• Spring Street & Collins Street corners – city textures and tramlines for that true Melbourne wedding feel.

This mix of heritage and city life makes the Registry one of the best wedding photography locations in Melbourne.

What wedding photography looks like at the Registry

With my mini wedding package, coverage begins right at your ceremony start time. There’s no unnecessary waiting beforehand – I arrive ahead of your designated start time, ready to capture the key moments as they unfold.

Here’s how it works:

1. Ceremony coverage

Your entrance, vows, exchange of rings, and first kiss. Even though Registry ceremonies are short, there’s still so much to capture – from little glances to the big “we did it” moment.

2. Signing & congratulations

After the signing of the marriage register, you’ll be surrounded by family and friends offering hugs and smiles. These natural, candid photos are often some of the most treasured.

3. Group & family portraits

We’ll step outside to the Old Treasury steps or a nearby garden space for group photos. I’ll guide the process quickly and smoothly so no one feels like they’re stuck in a long photo session.

4. Couple portraits

With the remaining time, we’ll explore the Registry’s surroundings for a mix of portraits: elegant, candid, editorial, and fun. Treasury Gardens, Parliament House, and the arches of the Old Treasury all provide variety without needing to travel far.

This simple flow ensures you get a complete story from your ceremony through to your portraits – all within a 90-minute package.
