A small wedding in Nottingham
It was an absolute pleasure photographing Daniella and Ashley’s small wedding in Nottingham. Daniella contacted me during lockdown to say that they had decided to get married and the lockdown restrictions provided the perfect excuse for a really small wedding! I thought, genius! More couples should do this! I know lots of people feel pressured into having a big wedding, when all they want is to celebrate things low-key with just a few close family members. This was exactly what Daniella and Ashley wanted for their wedding, so what a perfect time to do it!
Another day of sun
I wrote that and immediately had to put the LaLa Land sound track on. But yes, it was another day of autumnal sun on another Tuesday. Exactly a week ago, I was on the beach in Norfolk paddling my feet in the sea in warm sunshine. After the temperature really dropped over the weekend, I was not expecting another day of sun. But in true Tuesday wedding fashion, it was absolutely glorious! And it made for some delightful photos outside West Bridgford registry office for this small Nottingham wedding. Daniella looked so radiant in the sunshine and I adored taking photos of her in her beautiful floaty wedding dress that was perfect over her baby bump.
Intimate lunch at Colwick Hall
After the ceremony, confetti and a few family photos in West Bridgford, the very small wedding party made their way to Colwick Hall, where they had hired out the Brasserie room for their intimate reception. The room had been done up beautifully and it was just the perfect intimate space for an intimate wedding. With candle light, twinkling fairy lights and cherry blossom trees adorning the walls. It looked quite magical. I took a few more portraits at Colwick Hall before leaving them for their lunch. A perfect small wedding! Here are 10 from my time with Daniella and Ashley, along with their daughter Abigail and close family. A gorgeous little family!
