SHORT COVERAGE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Emily and Liam wanted a relaxed, fuss-free wedding day—an intimate ceremony followed by a small, heartfelt reception with their closest family and friends.
My day began at Colwick Hall, where Emily and her family were getting ready. By the time I arrived, the morning prep was in full swing—Emily was having her makeup done while her mum was in the middle of getting her hair styled. The room buzzed with excitement, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.
With the wedding ceremony taking place in West Bridgford, just a short 10-minute drive from Colwick Hall, the morning had a wonderfully relaxed feel—no stress about travel or long journeys.
Once Emily managed to get Max, her son, into his wedding outfit (which, let’s just say, wasn’t the easiest task!), it was time for her to step into her dress.
When photographing this moment, I always prefer to step in for the final stages—capturing the last few buttons being fastened, the delicate lace being tied, or the finishing touches like jewelry being put on. This allows for beautifully intimate images while still keeping the moment private and personal for the bride.
The wedding ceremony was short and sweet, with Emily and Liam just wanting to get the legals done and get back to Colwick Hall for the food and drink.
For their intimate wedding reception at Colwick Hall, Emily and Liam chose to host their celebration in Byron’s Brasserie. This charming restaurant provided the perfect setting for their small, close-knit gathering of 16 guests, making their special day feel warm and personal.
With just four hours of photography coverage, we captured everything that mattered most—from Emily’s morning preparations with her family, the short journey to West Bridgford for the ceremony, and finally, the relaxed reception at Byron’s Brasserie.
I always say that shorter wedding coverage doesn’t mean missing out on beautiful moments, and I hope the gallery below highlights just how much can be documented in a short amount of time!
SOME KIND WORDS FROM EMILY & LIAM
“Booking Andy as our photographer was one of the BEST choices we made when planning our wedding
We only had such a small wedding but Andy still made just as much effort as if it was a big wedding.
The photos he captured are beautiful and we will cherish them for a life time!
Thank you so much Andy!!
