Wedding Photographer and Videographer Near Nottingham

01 / Nottingham, Nottinghamshire / Charlotte & Jake

Colwick Hall: a Nottingham wedding full of familiar faces

Charlotte and Jake’s Colwick Hall photographs start with the people closest to them. Charlotte and her wedding party are laughing together in their robes, then the story moves into their ceremony and out onto the lawn. Even the dog gets a greeting. Those small changes in mood are what make a wedding gallery feel personal: the anticipation before the ceremony, the smile across the room and the freedom to relax once you are married.

Colwick Hall sits beside Colwick Park in Nottingham. The Georgian house offers a city wedding with gardens and parkland nearby, so it is a useful starting point if you want an elegant building without making the whole day about travelling between locations. On your viewing, ask which rooms belong to your booking, where guests gather after the ceremony and where photographs can happen if it rains.

Charlotte’s window portrait opens this guide, while the photographs below show the less quiet side of the morning and the celebration afterwards. We can give you gentle guidance for a portrait, then let the day carry on. Your friends’ expressions, the dog’s enthusiasm and the way you look at each other deserve just as much attention as the setting.

02 / Near Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire / Hayley & Martin

Hazel Gap Barn: a winter ceremony and a lively evening

Hayley and Martin’s December wedding at Hazel Gap brings the warmth of the barn and the winter courtyard into the same story. The ceremony photograph follows Hayley into the timber-beamed room, with guests turning towards her. Outside, the couple walk beside the red-brick buildings and share a quiet embrace. Later, Martin spins Hayley on the dance floor beneath the lights. You can feel the day changing pace without needing to leave the venue behind.

Hazel Gap is on the Welbeck Estate, near Edwinstowe in Nottinghamshire. The courtyard, red-brick barn and indoor celebration spaces offer different settings within one venue. If you are planning a winter wedding, look at the ceremony time and the route outside during your viewing. A short portrait walk before the daylight goes can fit comfortably around the reception when the timetable leaves room for it.

You do not need to recreate a summer wedding in December. The indoor ceremony, the conversations over drinks and the evening atmosphere are part of the season’s appeal. We can make use of a little time outside, then return to the moments happening in the warmth. Hayley and Martin’s first dance is a lovely example of why the evening belongs in the wedding story too.

03 / Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire / Becky & Rob

Inkersall Grange Farm: tipis, laughter and room to play

Becky and Rob’s photographs at Inkersall Grange Farm give you two very different memories of the same celebration. In one, they are joining their guests in a tug of war in front of the tipis. In the other, they stand together against a tall timber wall, with the bustle briefly out of view. Both belong in the gallery. A countryside wedding can leave space for the games and laughter as well as a few photographs of just the two of you.

Inkersall Grange Farm is in Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire. Its tipi setting makes it a useful comparison with Colwick Hall’s house and Hazel Gap’s barns. Ask the venue to show you how the ceremony, drinks, meal and evening work together, including the arrangements for wet weather. Think about the route your guests take through the site, rather than choosing a venue only for the portrait backdrop.

If you are planning lawn games or something else your friends will enjoy, leave time for it to happen naturally. We can stay with that part of the celebration and find a short gap for portraits nearby. Becky and Rob’s photographs show that considered portraits and a playful wedding day can comfortably sit alongside each other.

Beyond Nottinghamshire

Surrounding East Midlands wedding stories

If your venue search reaches across county borders, these four weddings give you more to compare. Donington Park Farmhouse sits south-west of Nottingham in the East Midlands border area, Winstanley House is in Leicester, and Hothorpe is a wider southern alternative near Market Harborough. Start with the direction that suits your guests, then look at the feel of the celebration.

04 / Donington Park, East Midlands border area / Kelly & Luke

Donington Park Farmhouse: a nearby barn wedding comparison

Kelly and Luke’s Donington Park Farmhouse wedding gives you a surrounding East Midlands comparison south-west of Nottingham. Their portraits place them beside the red-brick building, then in warm evening sunlight. They are simple, personal photographs with a clear sense of place. You do not need a long list of portrait locations to make that kind of memory.

The venue’s official information places it between Melbourne in Derbyshire and Castle Donington in Leicestershire. It belongs in the surrounding section of this guide, rather than being presented as a Nottingham venue. If you are comparing barns across the county borders, look at the guest journey, where everyone will stay and how the indoor spaces work when the weather changes.

A short evening walk can feel like a welcome pause after the meal and speeches. We keep it close and manageable, with a little guidance when you need it, then bring you back to the people waiting inside. Kelly and Luke’s photographs are a useful reminder to build a small amount of flexibility into your timetable rather than promise yourself perfect sunset weather.

05 / Leicester, Leicestershire / Nalini & Sanjay

Winstanley House: family at the centre of a Leicester wedding

Nalini and Sanjay’s Winstanley House photographs move between a quiet bridal portrait, family gathered around the celebration and time together outside. The photograph of their guests leaning into the moment says something different from a formal group picture. It holds the closeness and energy of the day, with the people who came to celebrate them.

Winstanley House is in Leicester, south of Nottingham. It is a surrounding city and house wedding comparison for couples whose venue search reaches into Leicestershire. When you visit, ask about the spaces your celebration will use and the transitions between each part of the day. If you have several traditions or different family groups to include, share those plans with us early so the coverage follows what matters to you.

We can plan the photographs you know you want while keeping room for the moments you cannot predict. Nalini’s henna and jewellery, the family celebration and a playful group photograph all tell different parts of the same story. There is no need to make every wedding follow a fixed set of pictures.

06 / Hothorpe, southern Leicestershire border area / Emma & Tom

Emma and Tom at Hothorpe: woodland portraits and a full dance floor

Emma and Tom’s Hothorpe photographs bring the trees, timber buildings and reception into one connected story. Their wedding party gathers outside, the couple walk together through the grounds and the guests welcome them into the room. By the evening, the mood has changed again: Tom dips Emma on the dance floor while the party carries on around them.

Hothorpe sits in the southern Leicestershire border area near Market Harborough. It is a wider comparison south of Nottingham, rather than a neighbouring Nottinghamshire venue. Emma and Tom’s photographs show the estate’s woodland setting. If you are considering Hothorpe, confirm which venue and spaces form part of your own booking with the estate.

For a woodland portrait walk, the most useful route is often the one close to the celebration. We can make space for a few relaxed photographs among the trees, with gentle guidance and time for you to talk. The reception entrance and dancing matter just as much. Your finished photographs should remind you of the day you spent with everyone, as well as the moments you had together.

07 / The Woodlands at Hothorpe, southern county border / Amee & Sean

The Woodlands at Hothorpe: Amee and Sean’s outdoor ceremony

Amee and Sean’s wedding gives you another view of Hothorpe, this time through their outdoor ceremony at The Woodlands. The photographs start with a toast among the wedding party and the last quiet moments of getting ready. Then Amee walks towards Sean beneath a flower-covered arch, surrounded by guests and trees. The setting frames the ceremony, but their expressions are what bring it to life.

This is the same wider southern estate area as Emma and Tom’s story, with a different couple and a clearly named woodland venue. It is here as a comparison for couples considering a countryside celebration beyond Nottinghamshire. At an outdoor venue viewing, ask where the ceremony moves if it rains and whether you would be happy with that alternative too.

After the ceremony, Amee and Sean’s short walk past the timber pavilion and along a tree-lined path gives them a little time together. You can still be close to your guests while taking a breath. We keep that part of the day relaxed, then return to the conversations and celebrations that make the wedding yours.
