FOLKLORE WEDDING COMPANY

Folklore Wedding Company is proudly based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. From our home base, we regularly serve weddings across Salt Spring, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and Victoria.

Travel is a big part of what we do, and we’re always excited to follow love wherever it leads. Whether your celebration is tucked away in the forests of the West Coast, on the mainland, or across the world, we’re happy to be there. Travel fees may apply outside our local region, but we take care of all our own logistics so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

We’re a full-service wedding media and planning collective. Our offerings include:
 • Photography in digital, 35mm & 120mm analog film, and tintype formats.
 • Videography in a cinematic, story-driven style.
 • Wedding planning and coordination from intimate elopements and micro weddings to full-size weddings with larger guest lists.
 • Our Portrait Booth, a modern, elevated take on the traditional wedding photo booth.
 • Specialty extras like tintype portrait sessions and collaborations with artists for live painting or other creative experiences.

You can book one service or combine them all for a seamless, curated wedding experience. Every offering is designed to be flexible, so your day reflects your story and priorities.

You can absolutely hire us for photography only, videography only, or both. We know every couple has different priorities, and sometimes you may already have another photographer or videographer you’re excited to work with. If that’s the case, we’ll connect with them in advance and coordinate so that we’re all working seamlessly together on your wedding day. Clear communication and collaboration are really important to us  your experience should feel smooth, not stressful.

That said, many couples choose to book both photography and videography with Folklore because having one team cover everything comes with big benefits. We know each other’s rhythms, we share a common vision, and we’re able to work in sync without ever stepping on each other’s toes. This creates a calmer environment for you and ensures that every moment is captured beautifully in both stills and film. You also get a consistent creative style across your photos and video, and a single point of contact for planning and communication, which makes the whole process easier.

The first step is reaching out through our website contact form so we can learn about your wedding vision. From there, we’ll set up a call to go over your plans and answer any questions. If you’d like to move forward, we’ll send a contract and request a booking retainer. Once those are complete, your date is secured and we’re officially part of your wedding team.

After that, we’ll work with you to plan your coverage, build a timeline, and talk through any special requests. Our goal is to make the process simple and supportive from day one. Booking Folklore means you have a team on your side from the planning stage all the way through to your wedding day.

Yes. We carry full liability insurance, which many venues require, and we can provide proof of coverage if your venue requests it. Having insurance protects you, your guests, and your venue, and it’s something we consider an essential part of running a professional wedding business.

We also bring backup cameras, lenses, film, and memory cards to every wedding. Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we take every precaution to make sure no detail is missed. Our couples can feel confident that even in the rare event of equipment issues, their memories will be safely captured.

Yes. We celebrate love in every form, and we are proud to work with LGBTQ+ couples, multicultural weddings, interfaith ceremonies, and families of all backgrounds. Inclusivity isn’t just a value for us, it’s at the heart of how we approach weddings.

Our focus is on creating a comfortable, supportive environment where your story can shine. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, and however you choose to celebrate, we’ll be there to honor it with the same care and artistry.

We recommend booking 8–12 months in advance, especially for peak summer and fall weekends on Salt Spring and Vancouver Island, which fill up quickly. For destination weddings or larger celebrations, reaching out even earlier is a good idea.

That said, we understand that not every wedding is planned far ahead. If your date is sooner, we may still have space, so please reach out regardless. The earlier you book, the sooner we can start working with you to design a photography, videography, or planning experience that feels effortless.

We’re more than just a media team , we’re a collective of artists and planners. Our photographers and videographers bring a blend of digital, analog film (35mm & 120mm), and tintype photography to your day, offering a range of formats you won’t find everywhere. Our planners create thoughtful, stress-free experiences for elopements, micro weddings, and full-size weddings alike.

And then there are the details that make us truly unique: our Portrait Booth, which elevates guest portraits into editorial keepsakes; our analog and tintype processes that bring heirloom value to your gallery; and our collaborative approach, which ensures that every couple feels seen and cared for. Above all, we’re storytellers at heart, committed to documenting your wedding with artistry, attention, and a sense of timelessness.
