White Syke Fields

In June 2022, I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding here and I have to tell you the experience was extremely enjoyable. The venue is ran by a small team and is nestled in the beautiful woodland just off the A64 between York and Malton, making it really accessible for the people who choose to use it. Not only does the venue offer the mature woodlands that surround it for photos, it also has a large pond and modern wall graphics for couple who like something a bit different or even just a variety. Whilst I visited, the couple had chosen the piggery for their ceremony, which was conducted by the fabulous Rachael Bowers. The piggery is light and airy and can take as much or as little of whatever decor you might like to garnish it with. Making it a photographers paradise. The Wheelhouse where the reception and night celebrations was held offer a very different atmosphere to the piggery. Its warm, ambient lighting gives the vast area a cosy feeling and is just incredible for bigger wedding parties. The space also offer an authentic bar area and plenty of room for a relaxed seating along with the DJ or band. During my time here, I was greeted with an enthusiastic team, who looked after me nicely, they showed me the best places for photos, so we could make the best of the time we had for our sessions. They even kept an eye out for the amazing golden hour so I could concentrate on capturing dance moves.

I shot a wedding here in 2022 and I cant wait to be back again this year. it's one of my favourite venues in the north. The staff are loverly and always make sure their suppliers are well looked after and there are so really cool places for photos around the venue. the pink feature walls, the industrial vibes of the farm and the white barn being my favourite.

A great Wedding venue. I went here for the evening reception, and there was a ceilidh. There was a bar by the dance floor and a can serving food outside. There were plenty of heaters in the barn, but it was a bit breezy when the door was left open. But this is all part of the barn experience. I would definitely book this venue for a big event, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces, with comfy seating and a great atmosphere. The only thing I would change would be the bar prices, but I guess it's normal for this kind of venue.
