Normanton Church wedding
Hazel and Jonathan’s Normanton Church wedding, set on the picturesque south shore of Rutland Water, was a celebration to remember. As a Rutland wedding photographer, I was thrilled to capture their special day at this iconic venue.
Historical Significance: The history of Normanton Church, transformed from a village church into a stunning island venue post-1970 due to the creation of Rutland Water, adds to the charm of a Normanton Church wedding. This deconsecrated church, seemingly afloat on the reservoir, offers a unique and breathtaking backdrop for nuptials.
Arrival and Ceremony: The arrival of Hazel to her Normanton Church wedding in a classic vintage Vauxhall set the tone for the day. Her stunning white, ruched, strapless dress complemented by her vivid red hair, and the bridesmaids’ soft pink lace dresses with blue rose bouquets, added elegance to the ceremony. The harmonious notes from a harpist enriched the atmosphere at Normanton Church.
Photography and Lighting: The clear glass windows of Normanton Church bathed the wedding party in natural light, creating perfect conditions for memorable wedding photography. The deep blue winter sky served as a majestic backdrop for Hazel and Jonathan’s Normanton Church wedding photos.
Reception at The Noel: Following the ceremony at Normanton Church, the wedding party moved to The Noel in Oakham. The intimate setting was ideal for their reception, complete with a band, dance floor, and a unique Lego-themed wedding cake revealing a rainbow of colors.
Sunset Return to Normanton Church: A surprise return to Normanton Church at sunset provided a dramatic scene, with the church’s exterior lights creating a magical setting, exclusively lit for the newlyweds. This moment added a unique touch to their Normanton Church wedding experience.
Hazel and Jonathan’s Normanton Church wedding was a testament to love and beauty. If you’re considering a wedding in Rutland, especially at Normanton Church, feel free to inquire about my photography services. I’d be honored to capture another beautiful wedding at this extraordinary venue.
