Top Tips for 2025 Brides: Planning Your Perfect Norfolk Wedding | A Videographers Guide

Planning a wedding in 2025? Norfolk is a stunning location for your big day, offering everything from charming countryside settings to coastal backdrops. As wedding videographers at Amber Moon, we’ve seen countless weddings across Norfolk, and we want to share our top tips to help make your dream wedding come true. Whether you’re just getting started or refining the final details, these tips are perfect for every 2025 bride.

1. Choose a Timeless Norfolk Wedding Venue

Norfolk boasts some of the UK’s most picturesque wedding venues. From historic barns to stunning stately homes, there's a venue to suit every style. Some popular choices include Oxnead Hall, Chaucer Barn and Pentney Abbey. When selecting your venue, consider both the aesthetics and the practicalities, like lighting and backdrops and space, which are key to making your wedding video shine.

Pro Tip: Book your venue early! Norfolk’s wedding venues are in high demand, especially for summer weddings.

2. Embrace the Norfolk Countryside and Coast in Your Theme

Norfolk’s natural beauty is a perfect foundation for your wedding theme. Whether you go for a rustic barn wedding in the countryside or a romantic coastal celebration, make the most of your surroundings. Local flowers, seasonal produce, and even using Norfolk-based suppliers will not only support local businesses but also give your wedding an authentic and personal touch.

Pro Tip: For a truly breathtaking wedding video, schedule some time during “golden hour” (the hour before sunset) for those perfect Norfolk sunset shots by the sea or in the open fields.

3. Work with Local, Trusted Norfolk Suppliers

When it comes to making your wedding day flawless, working with experienced local suppliers can make all the difference. From florists to caterers and makeup artists, Norfolk offers a wealth of incredible wedding professionals who know the region well and can help your day run smoothly.

At Amber Moon, we regularly work with many talented Norfolk wedding suppliers, so feel free to ask us for recommendations during your consultation!

4. Personalise Your Wedding Videography

Your wedding video should tell your unique love story. We encourage every couple to think about personal touches they’d like to include in their video. Do you have a favourite spot in Norfolk? Perhaps the place where you got engaged? Incorporating meaningful locations, speeches, and special moments will make your wedding film something you’ll cherish for years to come.

Pro Tip: Consider having a pre-wedding or engagement shoot in Norfolk. It’s a great way to feel comfortable in front of the camera and capture even more memories.

5. Plan for the Weather – Whatever the Season

Norfolk’s weather can be unpredictable, even in the height of summer. It’s always a good idea to have a contingency plan for rain, especially if you’re planning an outdoor wedding. Many Norfolk venues offer both indoor and outdoor options, so you can still have beautiful settings for your wedding photography and videography, no matter what the weather brings.

Pro Tip: Overcast skies can actually be a videographer's dream! Soft light can create magical, cinematic shots that are perfect for your wedding video.

6. Capture Norfolk’s Unique Charm

One of the reasons many couples choose Norfolk for their wedding is its unique charm. From the Norfolk Broads to charming market towns like Wymondham and Burnham Market, there’s no shortage of stunning backdrops. Make the most of Norfolk’s varied landscapes to create a wedding film that feels like a true reflection of your special day.

Pro Tip: If you’re having a Norfolk Broads wedding, ask your videographer about incorporating drone footage for breathtaking aerial shots of the water and landscape. Yes we have one!

7. Book Your Wedding Videographer Early

Wedding videographers book up quickly, especially in sought-after areas like Norfolk. To avoid disappointment, it’s important to secure your videographer as early as possible, ideally right after you’ve booked your venue. A good videographer will work closely with you to ensure they capture your day just as you imagined.

At Amber Moon, we only take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure we can dedicate time to every couple, so reach out as soon as you’ve set your date! We still have some weekend availability for 2025 but we are booking up quick.

8. Make the Most of Local Norfolk Traditions

Norfolk has a rich history and is home to some wonderful traditions. Incorporating local elements such as a traditional Norfolk foods (Colmans mustard?) or even a vintage car ride through the countryside can add a special touch to your day. These unique moments will also translate beautifully into your wedding video, creating lasting memories.

9. Delegate Tasks to Your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

Your bridesmaids and groomsmen are there to support you, and giving them small, manageable tasks can help take the pressure off you on the big day. From keeping the timeline on track to helping guests find their seats, assigning specific jobs to your wedding party ensures everything runs smoothly. This will allow you and your partner to focus on enjoying the day, knowing that your trusted crew has everything under control.

Pro Tip: Have one person in charge of liaising with the photographer and videographer to ensure key moments (like the bouquet toss or first dance) are captured without interruptions. Another can handle vendor communications so you can stay present and relaxed

10. Relax and Enjoy Your Day

Finally, remember that your wedding day is about you and your partner celebrating your love. Let the professionals, like your wedding planner, photographer, and videographer, take care of the details. Enjoy every moment, and your relaxed, happy energy will come through in both your photos and your wedding video.
