Getting Married at Rufford Mill, Nottinghamshire
If you're planning your wedding and considering getting married at Rufford Mill in Nottinghamshire, you're in for something truly special. As a wedding photographer in Nottinghamshire, I've had the pleasure of capturing love stories at Rufford Mill and Rufford Abbey – and every time, the venue continues to take my breath away.
From its romantic lakeside setting to the historic charm of the Abbey ruins, Rufford Mill is one of Nottinghamshire's most beautiful wedding venues – and a dream location for wedding photography.
From the moment you arrive at Rufford Abbey Country Park, you'll be surrounded by nature and history. I love starting the day by capturing bridal preparations in the Talbot Suite or nearby accommodation, followed by emotional ceremony shots in the Mill’s historic interiors.
After the “I dos,” we can explore the Abbey ruins, stroll along the lakeside, and find quiet spots under the ancient trees for some beautiful couple portraits. Golden hour at Rufford is especially magical, with soft sunlight filtering through the trees and reflecting off the water.
Many couples fall in love with:
-
The rustic charm of the 12th-century Rufford Abbey ruins
-
The beautiful woodland and lakeside views
-
The spacious grounds for outdoor ceremonies and marquee receptions
-
The convenience of having your entire wedding day – from ceremony to evening reception – in one location
As a Nottinghamshire wedding photographer, I always get excited when I hear that a couple is getting married at Rufford Mill. The photo opportunities are endless!
