Stylish Spring Wedding // Silchester Farm

Weddings


We loved hanging out with you. You captured the real us, bringing so much energy to our wedding and rocking up with a massive smile on your face.

Farran and Stu’s wedding at Silchester Farm was an absolute giggle from start to finish. These two didn’t stop laughing, joking, and having the best time. Their infectious energy spread to all of their guests, who were totally up for partying!



Farran looked absolutely stunning in her caped dress from Martina Liana Bridal Designs. I had actual goosebumps seeing her in it! She had the biggest smile all day, and practically giggled her way down the aisle.



As the evening set in, the rain decided to join us, but that didn’t stop the party. Tru Groove Band took the floor and absolutely killed it. I can honestly say they’re one of the best wedding bands I’ve ever seen. Within minutes, the dance floor was packed, and a full-on singing battle erupted. If you’re looking for a band that gives 150%, you need to book them!



I left them doing shots at the bar and dancing hard. It was an epic day with two incredible people.

ABOUT the Photographer

I’m Kirsty, you super-friendly, chilled out wedding photographer

I love working with people who want to do things differently. 

If you care more about how it feels than what’s trending, you’re my people.

You laugh loudly, get the giggles and pull silly faces. You don’t take yourselves too seriously, you care about the little things, and you want to soak up every moment of your day with your favourite humans.
