NORWOOD PARK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
THE BRIDE GETTING READY AT NORWOOD PARK
My day began with Louise and her bridal party getting ready in the Orangery at Norwood Park, located right next to the stunning wedding ceremony room. It was my first time shooting in this beautiful space, and it truly proved to be a dream location—filled with natural light perfect for the hair and makeup artists, and soft, flattering light that made for gorgeous photos.
Meanwhile, Jamie was preparing in the Duke Suite at Norwood Park. Capturing moments from both sides of the morning preparations allowed me to tell the complete story of their special day, from start to finish.
THE WEDDING DRESS DETAILS AND SHOES
At Norwood Park, it’s a lovely tradition for the bride to begin her preparations in the Orangery before moving up to the Bridal Suite to slip into her wedding dress. And what a stunning dress Louise chose!
With help from her mum and bridesmaids, she effortlessly stepped into her gown and wedding shoes with minimal fuss—just leaving enough time for a quick celebratory toast with her bridesmaids before the big moment.
THE WEDDING CEREMONY
Louise and Jamie’s wedding ceremony took place in the Drawing Room at Norwood Park, a spacious, light-filled wedding venue in Nottinghamshire featuring large windows that bathe the bride and groom in beautiful natural light. Unlike some venues where sunlight can cause uneven lighting, Norwood’s unique orientation ensures the sun never directly hits the couple’s faces—making it a dream spot for Nottinghamshire wedding photography and documentary wedding photography.
The ceremony began with a heartfelt moment as Louise walked down the aisle alongside her mum. One of my favourite wedding photographs from the day captures their special look just after reaching the front—a beautiful, unspoken connection.
Choosing to keep their ceremony short and sweet, Louise and Jamie focused on spending as much time as possible celebrating with family and friends. Before long, they walked back down the aisle hand in hand as a newly married couple, ready to enjoy the rest of their Norwood Park wedding day and reception.
GETTING COVERED IN CONFETTI
Louise and Jamie nailed the confetti moment—they made sure there was plenty of confetti for all their family and friends to shower them with. If you’re planning your wedding, take it from me: having plenty of confetti can make all the difference in creating vibrant, joyful confetti wedding photos that truly capture the celebration.
THE WEDDING SPEECHES
The wedding breakfast took place in the elegant Gallery Room at Norwood Park, a popular wedding venue in Nottinghamshire, and kicked off with the much-anticipated speeches. First up was the mother of the bride, followed by Jamie, and then the best men, who made the most of their moment to share some hilarious and heartfelt stories about Jamie.
As you’ll see in the full gallery below, the speeches had everyone laughing—especially at Jamie’s expense! It was the perfect blend of genuine emotion and good-natured fun, creating unforgettable memories and candid reactions that make Norwood Park wedding photography and Nottinghamshire wedding photography so rewarding.
A QUICK PORTRAIT AT THE GRECIAN TEMPLE
Louise and Jamie wanted just a few portrait shots, which is exactly how I prefer it—I truly believe couples should spend more time enjoying their Norwood Park wedding day with family and friends, rather than being pulled away for lengthy photo sessions. If a couple wants portraits, I’m happy to deliver beautiful, relaxed wedding portraits in just 10-15 minutes, capturing timeless moments without interrupting the celebrations.
The Norwood Park wedding venue offers plenty of stunning backdrops for portraits, but I had my eye on the picturesque Grecian Temple at Norwood Park, perched on the hill near the venue. After confirming the location with Louise and Jamie, we timed the shoot perfectly—catching the warm, golden light of sunset, which created some truly magical sunset wedding portraits and classic Nottinghamshire wedding photography moments.
THE FIRST DANCE
The first dance at Norwood Park takes place in the spacious Marquee Room, located right next to the elegant Gallery Room. It’s the perfect setting—offering plenty of space for guests to enjoy a clear view of the couple’s first dance, or as I like to call it, the “first shuffle.”
Once Louise and Jamie shared their special moment on the dance floor, the evening truly came alive—especially with Jamie leading the way with some delightfully questionable dance moves! These fun and candid moments set the tone for a night filled with laughter, joy, and celebration, perfectly captured through my Nottinghamshire wedding photography.
SOME KIND WORDS FROM LOUISE & JAMIE
