Wedding Photographers in Nottingham

Nottingham's Lace Market, with its tall red-brick Victorian warehouses, gives wedding photographs a distinctive urban look. A short walk away, the castle on its sandstone rock and the Old Market Square in front of the Council House offer more formal settings.

For greenery, the Elizabethan mansion of Wollaton Hall sits in a large deer park on the west side of the city, and the wider county includes the ancient woodland of Sherwood Forest.

Planning portrait time

City-centre portraits can be quick to arrange if your venue is central, but crossing the city at busy times takes longer than many couples expect. Ask your photographer to build travel time into the plan, or choose locations close to your venue.

Parks, estates and historic buildings often require professional photography to be arranged in advance, and some only allow it in certain areas. Your photographer may already know the process.

Light through the year

Spring and autumn give soft light that flatters brick and stone. Summer evenings allow golden-hour portraits after dinner. In winter, plan outdoor photographs soon after the ceremony, while daylight lasts.

Booking

Nottingham has a large pool of photographers working across the East Midlands. For popular summer Saturdays, enquire a year or more ahead, and look at full galleries to see how each handles the whole day.
