Rhian and Hugh chose Silchester Farm for their April wedding, looking for a relaxed, informal day surrounded by family and friends. The open countryside and informal spaces for the reception made it the perfect backdrop for their celebration. From the outdoor ceremony to playful portraits with the venue’s pigs, every moment reflected their personalities. (silchesterfarm.co.uk)

“I’d highly recommend Hannah McClune Photography for your wedding. Right from the start, Hannah was professional and efficient and made the whole process really easy. We were asked to complete an easy pre‑wedding form which was really helpful prior to the day and ensured all of our special moments were captured. We had Ash for our wedding day itself and she was a really calm presence. Ash is super talented and captured our day perfectly. We were delighted with the photo gallery we received.” — Rhian & Hugh

Indoor Barn Ceremony

The couple’s ceremony was held inside Silchester Farm’s barn, with wooden beams, warm lights and an intimate atmosphere. Rhian looked beautiful in her dress, and the bridesmaids’ green dresses added a soft, natural colour against the barn’s wooden interior.

Reception and Details

After the ceremony, guests moved to the reception area. Tables were decorated with floral arrangements and green candles, giving a relaxed, cohesive look without feeling formal. A few fun portraits with the venue’s pigs added a light‑hearted element that suited the informal tone of the day.

Ash covered the full day of celebrations to photograph the day as it unfolded, focusing on real interactions and natural moments rather than staged scenes. From friends chatting by the pond to quieter exchanges between Rhian and Hugh, the photo gallery reflects the relaxed pace and personal nature of the wedding.

Silchester Farm as a Venue

Silchester Farm is well suited to couples looking for an outdoor, countryside wedding that doesn’t feel tightly scheduled. With its outdoor ceremony space, informal reception areas, and space for guests to relax and enjoy the day, it works well for weddings that feel less structured and more about people being present in the moment. Photographing a wedding at Silchester Farm Hampshire means capturing those spontaneous smiles, shared laughs, and genuine interactions that make the day distinctively theirs.
