Athan & Amy’s Silchester Farm Wedding

Athan & Amys summer wedding at Silchester Farm was just awesome to capture.  A cool couple, great colour pallet & all round brilliant laid back vibe.

My first wedding at Silchester Farm was way back in 2017, long before it was even a licensed venue.  Friends of the owners I think.  So good to be back & see how its been developed into one of my favourite rustic venues of Berkshire.

The day itself couldn’t have gone better.  The September sun was lovely to work with & aided with the speeches beautifully.

I've lived on the South Coast in Hampshire all my life. I have been married since 2005 & in June 2019 we become proud parents to our amazing little boy Jonah! Besides photography, I absolutely love music! From chilling out to Bon Iver or head banging to Pearl Jam; it plays a big inspirational part in my photography life. When i'm not watching 'Hey Duggee' I love being absorbed in a good movie with a cracking Thomas Newman or Hans Zimmer soundtrack.

I love exploring new places & have always been taken back by beautiful landscapes. Tall trees or Cornish coastlines give me a great sense of calm. Iceland is definitely on the bucket list!

Photographer, artist, father, inspired by music, a well made flat white, good light and you!
