A Wedding Planning & Media Collective · Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and beyond
All-inclusive planning and curation, photography, cinematic film, and handmade tintypes: one collective that designs your day and captures it, rooted in the Gulf Islands.
The Collective
Folklore Wedding Company is built on two crafts, held in equal measure: thoughtful wedding planning and artful wedding media. Our planners curate all-inclusive elopements, micro weddings, and full-scale celebrations on Salt Spring Island and beyond, designing days rooted in place and story, with the islands' most talented vendors and artists at the table.
Alongside them, our photographers and filmmakers work across the Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island, and all of British Columbia, telling your story through cohesive, artful imagery, from tintype and 35mm film to contemporary digital and documentary styles. One team, one rhythm: the people planning your day and the people capturing it speak the same language.
And through the Folklore Vendor Collective, we host a growing regional guide connecting couples with trusted local florists, caterers, musicians, venues, and makers across coastal BC.
Kind words
“Sydney and the Folklore team captured our day so beautifully. The tintypes are the most treasured objects we own.”Byron & Hanna Fry
“From the first call to the final gallery, everything felt effortless. They know these islands, and it shows in every frame.”Dylan & Marley R.
“One team for photo, video, and planning meant our day flowed without a single hiccup. We just got to be present.”Iwona Vandermeer
Good to know
We're proudly based on Salt Spring Island, BC, and regularly serve weddings across Salt Spring, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and Victoria. Travel is a big part of what we do, whether your celebration is tucked away on the West Coast or across the world, we're happy to be there.
Both. Planning is half of what we do. From all-inclusive elopements and micro weddings to full-scale wedding curation, our planning team designs the day, coordinates vendors and timelines, and supports you from booking through the last dance. Book planning on its own, media on its own, or let one team hold it all.
Absolutely: photography only, videography only, or both. Many couples choose both because one team means a shared rhythm, a consistent creative style, and a single point of contact. But if you already have a creative you love, we'll coordinate with them seamlessly.
Reach out through our contact form, and we'll set up a call to hear your vision. From there it's a contract and booking retainer, then your date is secured and we're officially part of your wedding team, planning coverage and timelines with you from day one.
Yes: full liability insurance (proof available for your venue), plus backup cameras, lenses, film, and cards at every wedding. Once-in-a-lifetime moments deserve every precaution.
Yes. We celebrate love in every form: LGBTQ+ couples, multicultural weddings, interfaith ceremonies, and families of all backgrounds. Inclusivity is at the heart of how we work.
