Wedding Venues in Nottinghamshire
As a documentary wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings at some of Nottinghamshire’s most beautiful venues. From rustic barns to elegant country estates, the county offers an incredible variety of settings for couples looking to create their perfect day. Based in nearby Rutland, I work regularly across Nottinghamshire and have built strong relationships with venues throughout the county.
I know the best spots for natural light, the ideal times for outdoor portraits, and how to make the most of each unique space. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a grand affair, I’ve photographed it all across Nottinghamshire’s diverse wedding landscape.
What makes Nottinghamshire wedding venues so special is their character and flexibility. Many offer exclusive use, giving you complete freedom to shape your day exactly as you envision it. The barn venues provide that relaxed, festival atmosphere that suits my documentary style perfectly—no stiff posing, just authentic moments captured as they unfold naturally.
I’ve photographed weddings at venues across the county, from the romantic countryside settings near Newark and Southwell to the accessible locations close to Nottingham city. Each venue has its own personality, and my job is to capture how that space comes alive on your wedding day. Below, you’ll find detailed guides to my most frequently photographed Nottinghamshire wedding venues.
Each page includes real wedding galleries, venue-specific photography insights, and testimonials from couples I’ve worked with there. If you’re still deciding on your venue, these guides will give you a genuine feel for what your day might look like.

Many Nottinghamshire venues offer exclusive use, giving you complete control over your day. The relaxed, countryside atmosphere that characterises many of these venues suits my documentary photography style perfectly—I can capture your celebration as it naturally unfolds, without the constraints of more formal, traditional settings.
As a photographer based in neighbouring Rutland, I work regularly across Nottinghamshire and know these venues intimately. I understand how the light works in each space, where the best photo opportunities are, and how to capture the unique character of your chosen venue.
My Approach to Nottinghamshire Wedding Photography
At every Nottinghamshire wedding venue I photograph, my approach remains the same: relaxed, unobtrusive, and documentary-focused. I don’t believe your wedding day should feel like an extended photoshoot. Instead, I work quietly in the background, capturing genuine moments as they happen naturally.
Whether you’re getting married at a rustic barn or an elegant country house, I let the day unfold organically. You’ll find me laughing with your guests, anticipating the next moment, and ensuring everyone feels comfortable—not directing endless posed shots or interrupting your celebration.
This documentary style has earned me recognition with 16 major industry awards and over 100 five-star reviews from couples across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands. I’m particularly proud of my TWIA East Midlands Regional Finalist status, which reflects both my photographic work and the dedicated service I provide to local couples.
When you look back at your Nottinghamshire wedding photos, I want you to remember how it felt to be there—not how it felt to be photographed.

Planning your nottinghamshire Wedding
Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make during your planning. If you’re still exploring Nottinghamshire options, I’d recommend visiting shortlisted venues in person and imagining how your day will flow through the spaces.
Consider practical factors like guest capacity, accommodation options, and seasonal availability. Many Nottinghamshire venues book up 12-18 months in advance for peak summer dates, though you’ll often find more availability for autumn and winter weddings—which, as a documentary photographer, I absolutely love for the dramatic light and cosy atmosphere.
