Hermitage Museum and Gardens Wedding

A Winter Wonderland Wedding: Laura and Jack’s Hermitage Museum and Gardens Celebration

Laura and Jack’s love story unfolded into a beautiful chapter at the Hermitage Museum and Gardens in Norfolk , a venue steeped in history and surrounded by enchanting gardens. This February, the couple, who had already tied the knot at the courthouse, chose the Hermitage Museum for its picturesque allure and historical charm to capture their wedding moments in a truly unique way.

Nestled in the heart of Norfolk, the Hermitage Museum and Gardens provided a stunning backdrop for Laura and Jack’s wedding celebration. The couple’s decision to opt for an outdoor photoshoot in the museum’s garden was influenced by its timeless beauty, which flourishes year-round. The historical vibe and architectural grandeur of the Hermitage Museum added an extra layer of significance to their special day.

Dressed in a navy uniform, Jack showcased his military background, while Laura exuded elegance in a simple fishtail white dress adorned with a square neckline and a flowing cathedral veil. The color palette of ivory and soft pink complemented the winter landscape, creating a romantic atmosphere that transcended the season.

The photography session took advantage of the museum’s signature locations, including the pergola at the rose garden, the Driftwood gate, and the majestic giant magnolia tree. The mansion itself served as a regal backdrop for some timeless shots. Despite the winter setting, the day felt warm and sunny, lending a touch of summer magic to the affair.

In a burst of creativity, we suggested to bring a touch of whimsy to the shoot by introducing a champagne tower. And Laura and Jack loved that idea. Placed in front of a camellia bush adorned with vibrant red flowers, the tower added a playful element to the photoshoot. Popping champagne and letting it cascade down the tower created a visually stunning moment, capturing the essence of joy and celebration.
