When I photographed this Silchester Farm wedding it was very difficult not to smile. Sian and Hannah’s energy and love was so infectious.  It was hard not to get caught up with the emotions. The couple got married on a mild-ish November day. Luckily the venue lends itself to that perfect hygge style cosy feeling for a winter wedding. They each got ready on the morning with their friends and family members, and opted for a first look before the ceremony. This is always a marvellous idea in my eyes! You are almost spoiled for choice in this Hampshire wedding photography location with a Silchester Farm wedding. But in no way am I complaining!

I ADORE A FIRST LOOK 

Sian waited for Hannah in the big outdoor barn on the grounds of the venue. Surrounded by festoon lights and rustic corrugated iron. First look meetings before a ceremony are always (in my opinion) a wonderful event to structure into your wedding day. You get to see each other for the first time without a hundred eyes upon you. It is extremely special and intimate. You get to have a moment with each other before anyone else sees you. Plus, you get your couples portraits out of the way so that you can have an uninterrupted wedding reception! That is why I think that they are always a winner.

Getting Married at A Silchester Farm Wedding 

Is always a special moment. The venue is relatively new so there is a mix of old and new elements. This is a Hampshire wedding photography dream! The barns have been restored but with modern elements and unique touches. The vegetable garden is a gorgeous addition in the grounds and there is even a lake (Sian and Hannah didn’t make the journey there) which is one of the two places you can get married outside.

After Sian and Hannah’s gorgeous first look, they met each other in the barn for their ceremony. With lots of laughter they were wed and stepped outside for confetti and canapés. During the day you could see how much this Silchester Farm wedding meant to the couple and their closest friends and family. After a pandemic is is wonderful to be able to be together again. With some heartfelt and wonderful speeches, this crowd really lent into the party – with dancing, shots and tons more fun!

Perhaps you are looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer to capture your day?

If so you have come to the right place. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and believe that all love is the same. Having been bought up with two mothers I love photographing families like mine.
