Emily and Dan couldn’t have asked for much better weather as they tied the knot at The Pheasantry Brewery on one of the hottest days of the year. With an outdoor ceremony, drinks in the sunshine, speeches beneath the trees and a packed dance floor to finish the evening, their wedding made the most of everything this fantastic Nottinghamshire wedding venue has to offer.
Wedding Preparations at The Old Dairy
The day began just five minutes from the venue at The Old Dairy at Broadgate Farm, where Emily spent a relaxed morning getting ready with her bridesmaids. It’s a brilliant place to get ready, with plenty of space, beautiful natural light and even a few llamas watching on from the neighbouring field.
One of my favourite moments from the morning was Emily’s reveal to her bridesmaids before everyone made the short journey over to The Pheasantry Brewery.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremony at The Pheasantry Brewery
With temperatures climbing into the mid-30s, it was certainly a warm afternoon for Emily and Dan’s 3pm outdoor ceremony at The Pheasantry Brewery. Surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged their vows in a relaxed and personal ceremony before making their way back down the aisle as husband and wife to a huge round of applause.
After a shower of confetti, guests enjoyed drinks in the sunshine while catching up with friends and family before we gathered everyone for a few relaxed family photographs.
With the thermometer still reading well into the 30s, it wasn’t long before guests gravitated towards the shade with a cold drink in hand, while others embraced the sunshine and headed straight for the garden games. It perfectly summed up the relaxed atmosphere that Emily and Dan had created for the day.
Instead of heading inside, everyone gathered beneath the shade of the trees for the speeches – a very welcome spot on such a warm afternoon. Emily’s dad kicked things off with a few thank yous before Dan, the best man and finally Emily each kept their speeches short, relaxed and full of laughs. Before long, everyone was enjoying the food and making the most of the rest of the afternoon.
Drinks Reception & Outdoor Wedding Speeches
As the evening arrived and the temperature finally began to ease, we headed out into the surrounding countryside for a few relaxed portraits together. The golden evening light across the Nottinghamshire fields provided the perfect backdrop, allowing us to capture a few natural photographs before leaving Emily and Dan to enjoy the rest of the evening with their guests.
Evening Celebrations & First Dance
Back at the barn, guests made the most of the photobooth and face painting before everyone gathered for the cake cutting and first dance. Emily and Dan surprised everyone with a brilliant Pulp Fiction-inspired routine, which had the whole room smiling before the dance floor quickly filled for the rest of the night.
Every time I photograph a wedding at The Pheasantry Brewery, I’m reminded why it’s such a brilliant venue. Whether you’re planning an outdoor ceremony surrounded by the Nottinghamshire countryside or celebrating inside the beautifully converted barn, it offers the perfect setting for relaxed, natural wedding photography.
