Westfield Farm Wedding Photographer

A fully do-it-yourself wedding, stunning gardens and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.

01 / Why I know Westfield Farm

I've photographed weddings at Westfield Farm.

I'm Aaron, a documentary wedding photographer based in Guisborough, and North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022. I've photographed a few weddings at Westfield Farm, including Laura and Luke's.

Westfield Farm is a fully DIY wedding venue, but the gardens are stunning. You make it your own, and that makes it great to photograph.

02 / Real wedding at Westfield Farm

Laura & Luke. A marquee wedding in the gardens.

Laura and Luke held their wedding in a marquee in the grounds, with the ceremony in the gardens.

It was a DIY day, with everything made their own, and the gardens made a lovely backdrop for all of it.

The photographs below are from Laura and Luke's wedding at Westfield Farm.

03 / A few minutes together

Short portraits, back to your guests quickly.

My couple portraits at Westfield Farm take about twenty minutes. I aim for the softer light near sunset, so you're only away from your guests for a short time.

If it rains
