Huntstile Organic Farm Wedding Photographer
Huntstile Organic Farm is a hidden gem under the Quantocks: an old farmhouse full of character, two light-filled licensed rooms, and a working organic farm around it. If you want a relaxed, laid-back wedding with the people who matter most, this is the sort of place to do it.
Why I love photographing weddings at Huntstile
Intimacy. The weddings I’ve photographed here have been small, personal and full of feeling, and the farmhouse rewards that: every room has something in it, every doorway frames someone. And when the weather doesn’t play ball, which in Somerset is a possibility, the inside is as good as the outside.
The spaces, and how they photograph
- The old farmhouse. Characterful, with unique features everywhere. Ceremonies indoors here feel like a family gathering, because they are.
- The Dining Hall and the Garden Room. Both licensed, both light-flooded. The Garden Room gets my vote for a daytime ceremony, because the light comes in from the garden side and nobody ends up squinting; the Dining Hall comes into its own later, once the candles are lit.
- Goathurst church. A mile away, a quaint church overlooking a stream, for a religious ceremony.
- The farm. Backdrops everywhere: fields, barns, lanes, the Quantocks behind.
Sam and Lucy at Huntstile
About twenty of their closest people, an outdoor plan that the rain moved indoors at the last minute, and a ceremony in the farmhouse that lost nothing for it. Their love for each other was so clear it would have photographed in a car park.
Practical notes for your photos
- Portraits. The old house makes for some beautiful window lighting.
- Confetti. Having the old buildings in the background is amazing!
- Rain plan. The farmhouse. It’s better than most venues’ sunshine.
- Getting there. Goathurst, near Bridgwater.
