Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has tied the knot with ex-staffer Vikki Campion under the gumtrees of their New England property.

Senator Matt Canavan, former conservative politician George Christensen and Tamworth mayor Russell Webb were among the "bush bash" guest list on November 12.

Attendees drove across the couple's farm in utes to reach the leafy paddock where the ceremony was held.

She glowed in a flowing strapless gown with long, brown cowboy boots and one of her husband's signature Akubra hats while Mr Joyce wore tan chinos, a white button-down shirt and a navy coat.

The couple's two young children, Sebastian, 5, and Thomas, 4, matched Mr Joyce's attire with their page boy outfits.

The reception was held near their Woolbrook property between Armidale and Tamworth in the rolling green hills of NSW's north.

More than 80 guests assembled at the historic Woolbrook Arts Hall after the ceremony to celebrate the knees-up.
