When they are on the outside steps, you can briefly see Phoenix on the facade when she moves her head. I had to do some fancy scrolling and zooming to see it. Needed to know where that beautiful building was.
For every couple who gets a free photographer at the court house? Just kidding I know what you mean, at least a nice little area for a photo op would be a great addition to any courthouse.
Everyone has a cell phone and while they may not be good enough for large format prints, they're plenty good enough for web and small print. A couple with a witness can get passable wedding photos just fine with those basic tools.
Yes! I got married at a government administration building and they had one room set up really nice. You couldn't tell we weren't at a little chapel. It didn't have the lovely outside facade though. Trade offs, I guess.
Our city is pretty massive. So they build a bigger building down the street from the original city hall, but the original building still does civil service marriages and marriage certificate filing specifically for this reason. It always has at least one couple taking pictures in or around it :)
My husband and I also got married at our local courthouse. It is a pretty building but I didn't realize just how beautiful it was until our photographer sent us back our photos. My favorite was a photo of us kissing in a closing elevator. I remember in the moment of us taking the photo thinking, "hmm okay... this will be a weird photo". It ended up being the best photo... The right photographer can make even the most mundane shots a masterpiece.
Honestly, I’d love that. If I’m walking into a courthouse, at least let the entrance have some personality instead of looking like a government office from 1978.

they should install old school beautiful front doors in all courthouses for this reason
