Old Vicarage Boutique Hotel Wedding | Megan & Neville

Old Vicarage Boutique Hotel Wedding Photography

I always love the relaxed atmosphere at the Old Vicarage, a lovely little boutique hotel, nestled in the village of Southwell in Nottinghamshire. Personally I reckon it is one of Nottinghamshire’s hidden gems and I am always pleased to return there. So when Megan and Neville contacted me about being their Nottingham wedding photographer, I was excited that they had chosen The Old Vicarage Boutique Hotel as their venue, a mere hop skip and a jump from where I live.

Old Vicarage Wedding Venue

The super friendly and dedicated team at The Old Vicarage are on hand to ensure that weddings run smoothly with every last detail taken care of. They are passionate about tailoring each wedding and making each unique and special. This stunning venue is perfect for those who are looking for a more intimate ceremony with exclusive use of the grounds. The Old Vicarage is set in idyllic gardens. Outdoor ceremonies are held in the impressive purpose built bandstand which provides a beautiful backdrop.

Wedding Preparations

Megan and Neville chose to have their spring wedding inside the venue itself. The rooms are stunning and beautifully decorated with large windows ensuring plenty of natural light for capturing beautiful photographs. Megan got ready in the spacious bridal suite, again tastefully decorated. I got some lovely shots of Megan and her five bridesmaids as they prepared for the ceremony. They were all in good spirits and super chilled which always makes for great pictures.

Wedding Ceremony

The bride was walked down the aisle by her younger brother as Neville waited patiently for her to join him. After the ceremony I got some great confetti shots at the front of the house and then of course portraits of the happy couple on the famous Old Vicarage garden swing - another aspect that makes this venue so unique. After a fabulous meal prepared by the in house chefs, guests enjoyed the warm evening air outdoors before the party got into full swing with plenty of dancing and good vibes!

Swancar Farm Wedding Photography | Kate & Dave

Swancar Farm Wedding Photographer - Kate & Dave’s wedding photographs

A warm and sunny day at Swancar Farm greeted me for Kate and Dave’s wedding. Swancar Farm Country House sits in rolling countryside near Trowell and is easily reached from both Nottingham and Derby. As a Nottingham wedding photographer, I always enjoy the short trip over to Swancar, a timeless venue that exudes character and romance and only 15 minutes from Nottingham city centre.With its barn style reception hall, stunning gardens and pretty courtyard space, Swancar is becoming an increasingly popular venue for weddings. As you begin to make your way up the sweeping drive towards the exclusive and private estate, you know you are approaching something special.

Swancar Farm Wedding Venue

Swancar offers a self contained private cottage within its grounds - The Old Stables. This is where I first joined Kate. Kate and her bridesmaids were in high spirits and had spent the previous night here in the pretty cottage. We then moved over to the bridal suite for final bridal preparations where the excitement and good vibes continued. It was then time for the main event.

Wedding Ceremony

Kate and Dave chose to hold their ceremony in the glass barn, the latest addition to Swancar, built just off the lower barn. Kate’s dad proudly walked her down the aisle into this light and airy stunning space. After the ceremony it was out into the courtyard for canapés, drinks and their confetti walk.

A few family pictures on the front lawns were followed by stylish portraits of the newly weds in the beautiful surroundings of Swancar.

We then joined the rest of the wedding party and guests in the great hall for the speeches and wedding breakfast. After cutting of the cake and first dance, it was time to party - The Great Hall providing the perfect space for this. A great wedding in a great venue.

After the intimate ceremony, everyone enjoyed drinks and canapés in the Church itself, bought in by local caterers and a saxaphonist provided light entertainment.
