Nottinghamshire documentary wedding photography at the Carriage Hall - Hannah & Adam
Hannah & Adam had a gorgeous July wedding at The Carriage Hall, Plumtree in Nottinghamshire. This was my first time at this venue and it was wonderful! I started my day with Hannah and her bridesmaids & mum at a nearby B&B to take some documentary shots whilst they all got ready for the day ahead. Karl, who was second shooting, started with Adam and his groomsmen at their home.
The Carriage Hall was once a railway station hut and has been repurposed as a wedding venue. It’s a lovely self contained venue, in one large hall with a balcony (great for us photographers to get an alternative viewpoint throughout parts of the day) and an outside space and garden. There are three cute Shepherd’s Huts for accommodation so as the married couple you can even stay there yourself, along with a select few others!
Many of the wedding guests met at the pub down the bottom of the driveway, very convenient for being able to have a pre ceremony drink! The day started from there and was a beautifully relaxed wedding throughout, just my kind of wedding!
Hannah & Adam had a one year old son who was taken care of by a nanny they’d hired for the day. I would recommend this to anybody with young children. It meant they could be fully present in their day, as well as all of their important family members. If you have a parent or somebody close in charge of watching the youngsters then they often end up missing parts of the day themselves, or at least being very distracted from it, so if you have the budget to be able to do this, I’d highly recommend it.

I like to include a lot of photographs in my blogs, rather than just selecting the absolute best few, to give viewers a good overview of the wedding gallery, so you’ll find images from each part of the day. Please do scroll down to see photos from the wedding ceremony, drinks reception, speeches, relaxed portraits of the couple and the party, after the prep and pre ceremony photos.
This is still only roughly 10% of the full wedding gallery.
