HAZEL GAP BARN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Hazel Gap Barn Wedding Photographer | Bride and Groom share a loving look during the wedding ceremony

Scarlett and Ryan tied the knot on a rainy summer day at the stunning Hazel Gap Barn in Budby, Newark — a venue that looks incredible whatever the weather. The rain added a lovely, atmospheric feel to the day and worked beautifully with the rustic barns and grounds.

I started at a hotel in Retford, where Scarlett, her mum, and the bridesmaids were in the final stages of getting ready. Because they’d booked eight hours of coverage and wanted more of the evening celebrations photographed, I arrived just in time for those last, meaningful moments of bridal prep. Within minutes, Scarlett was stepping into her dress with her mum’s help — the perfect place to begin the story of their Hazel Gap Barn wedding with natural, relaxed photography that focuses on real moments.

Once Scarlett was in her wedding dress, and after a quick make-up touch-up, it was time for Dad to see her.

One of the most captivating features of Hazel Gap Barn is its spacious main barn, the perfect venue for unforgettable wedding ceremonies. The abundance of natural light streaming through the barn’s large windows creates a stunning, atmospheric setting that wedding photographers love.

This beautiful natural light adds a dramatic and romantic touch as couples and guests walk down the aisle, allowing me to capture breathtaking wedding photos that showcase both the rustic grandeur of Hazel Gap Barn and the heartfelt emotions of the ceremony. If you’re searching for wedding photography that highlights natural elegance and timeless moments, Hazel Gap Barn offers an exceptional backdrop for your special day.

The wedding ceremony was a quick one, with the guys just wanting to get the legals stuff done as quickly as possible and get cracking on the drinks and canapes, but first, it was the confetti run!

After the hugs, kisses, and a few family formals, it was time for the all-important wedding speeches, with the father of the bride up first with a very emotional speech.

After the wedding breakfast, Scarlett and Ryan wanted to take a peaceful walk around the Hazel Gap Barn venue for some beautiful wedding portraits away from the crowd. I always enjoy exploring the wedding venue with couples to capture relaxed, intimate images that truly showcase their connection and the magic of their day.

When we returned from our stroll, it was time for the first dance—or as I like to call it, the first shuffle! Let’s be honest, most couples start off awkwardly shuffling around each other, but that’s part of the charm and adds an authentic, joyful touch to their wedding photos. Capturing these candid moments is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography, preserving the genuine emotion and fun of your special day.

The genuinely friendly vibe makes every wedding day feel relaxed and special. It’s no surprise that Hazel Gap Barn is such a popular wedding location, with key dates booking up year after year. Capturing beautiful moments at this sought-after venue is always a true pleasure for any wedding photographer.
